Locally? No.

This all pretty much rests on the letter.

Yep. People don't go to jail for simple misdemeanors and felonies in states that have prisons full of murderers.

After several, sure, but not over this.

Roseanne made an apt comparison with racial overtones.

All Jussie did was fake a hate crime that could've gotten some innocent people thrown in jail.

I heard something today about the creator?Producer? being gay, and that he has had several flings with gay actors in the shows he's been part of. So He might of had some sort of relations with Jussie, and will keep him on as long as network allows, thus keeping the heat off him, making Fox the bad guys.. Jussie could make claims about him advancing on him,etc.

Yeah that’s all. Free speech you lose your job

Break the law and fake a hate crime you get rewarded.

What a fricked up world we live in.

This is worthy of ruining your career





But staging a crime isn't. Gotta love it.

I’d say they weren’t even racial. She was saying the bitch looks like he bad prosthetics they used in a movie.




If she had said she looked like a Wookiee, would that be racial? What if they said she looked like a cat?

Why is an ape compared to you know who the only animal comparison allowed?

Suprisingly, having lived in Chicago for 18 years, this whole Foxx recusal thing still astounds me.

1) There was a high profile crime in the city for which she is the State's attorney, so she KNOWS that she will be involved at some point, either assessing whether to bring charges or to prosecute

2) She is actively advocating on behalf of one of the parties involved in said crime before the CPD has a chance to present her with evidence in the case

I'm no lawyer, but to me that seems to be the height of unethical behavior given her position and should result from her being removed from office, if not disbarred.

B$&%@, you weren't elected to be a middle man between your friends and the police and decide you don't want to prosecute some cases!

OT Lawyers, am I off base here?

Would you have a problem with that photo if it was a black man and a monkey?


But why? We are descended from apes, and just like some people look like other animals









Some people have simian features.

But the ridiculous double standard that certain classes are supposed to be coddled and any such ribbing is unacceptable and tantamount to high crimes is absurd.

I loathe hypocrisy and thin-skinnedness.

Hell look what happened when google let a computer decide

My point being the double standard and the faux outrage from it is an absolute travesty

Case in point



quote:

Absolutely...but it ain't...it is an orange man and a monkey



I don’t give a tin shite if you call President Trump an orangutan. The media has slandered him and his family far worse than that. And i’m Okay with it...as long as that is the standard. If fair game is fair game then let’s all play.

But if the left is fine with this

But this is their standard for others


That dog don’t hunt.

Sometimes humans resemble animals. You can’t be fine with one and not the other.

And before you try to throw the “but historically minorities were depicted blah blah blah...” card at me...





Comparing people to animals does not necessarily have a racial component. I’d argue it’s primarily behavioural and visual.

I say my kids are acting like monkeys all the time.

So take your bullshite double standard
