Rustynail....."How much must he endure?"
Please tell me this was said with a truck load of sarcasm! This degenerate's actions could have resulted in the death of scores of people. It is far worse than yelling fire in a theater. What he did plays on the racist emotions of those looking for trouble.
Smollett should face a long jail sentence if convicted, and his community service should count for squat. What he did was endanger the lives of untold numbers of people and fuel hatred in America. Fortunately, those prone to being violent did not act on his foolishness. What he did was evil, and if he gets less than 10 years in prison, he is a very lucky man.
And if there is ANY evidence across the entire country one person was killed because of his nonsense, then he should be indicted for conspiracy to commit murder. I suspect more than one person died because of his nonsense.
