Will The Empire Actor Actually KEEP His Job?

This feels like a slap to the face. Remember Roseanne had her entire show taken away from her for just a tweet.

Fox Broadcasting Company, the network that airs the hit drama Empire, will keep actor Jussie Smollett on as a series regular in wake of reports he staged an attack on himself in Chicago last month, according to a TMZ report.

Obviously, he should be fired. Barr, wrongly, lost her job just because of an inane tweet about someone's looks. Smollett committed a number of real crimes.  But he'll get to keep his job in a reduced role.  9999hair out0000

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Now I see reports that he’s been written out of the last two episodes of the season, so I don’t know what to believe.

Either way, they’re not going to fire him.

I saw that too.  And that he "apologized" to the cast, but still claims he's innocent.   :shrug:

I truly hope they throw the book at this idiot.

Why not? We now know that wearing blackface, a clan hood or committing sexual assault aren't fireable offenses IF you've got your political head right.

Evil is far, far worse.

Why even compare the two?

Like saying you kill someone and also did not graduate from high school.

Yes, I agree with you. 

Evil is the topic of conversation, not idiocy.

Just more living breathing proof of the double standard applied toward those on the left and right.

Another recent example?  If the governor of VA would have been in the GOP, you think he'd still be there?

If you knew one single thing about me you'd never ask that question. 

If you have read even two or three of my posts, you'd already know.

Find someone else to fight with.  I'm not interested.
