Chicago – Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and the city’s police chief have angrily criticized Jussie Smollett and the decision by prosecutors to drop all charges that alleged the “Empire” actor staged a racial and homophobic attack in the city in January.

Speaking to reporters Tuesday, a visibly angry Emanuel called the decision a “whitewash of justice” and asked, “Where is the accountability in the system?”
Emanuel criticized Smollett for not taking any responsibility despite what he described as overwhelming evidence. He also says Smollett continues to drag Chicago’s reputation through “the mud.” His voice seeming to quiver with anger he said about Smollett, “Is there no decency in this man?”
Police Superintendent Eddie T. Johnson said Smollett still owns the city an apology.
Smollett has not backtracked from his original story, insisting he’d been “truthful and consistent on every single level since day one.”
this is not whitewash – it’s BLACKWASH
What a miscarriage of Justice!
The message here is, if you’re a member of the grievance brigade, ie ; colored, gay, trans, bi, les. or whatever other “marginalized” group you can contrive, you will get away with flouting the law , no matter how egregious.
Michael Aveneti can sleep well tonight . All has to claim is that he identifies as a black, gay, trans guy and he will get a pass !!
Smollett has two things going for him, namely that he is gay, and Black. I guarantee everyone that if a Jew made up that story, his tuchas would be sent to jail for a long time!
Please Mr Rahm …lets not be to harsh on the poor “deprived childhood ” fella !!!
To: #2 - Your use of the word “colored”, is a disgrace! The word “colored”, which was a pejorative term, ceased being used in the 1960’s!
We should demand to see the full report !!
Actors are rarely normal people.
The dropping of charges comes with a huge stink about it. If the truth is ever revealed it just may point to Obama interference with the justice system. The DA and AG and all associated with this farce need to be held accountable. It’s a travesty of justice to think there wasn’t collusion in this case.
If the Democrats want to find collusion on something, let them get the stink off of this mess.
