I mean he pretty much lost his career, he's a convicted criminal and his name is now a punchline, it seems like the consequences are more than adequate to fit the crime even without whatever sentence they give him.

This guy is a special kind of scum he exploited peoples decency and good graces for personal gain plus he made it much harder for actual victims. If anything he is getting off easy.
Black Lives Matter stands with Jussie Smollett after verdict
Quote:
After the verdict was announced late Thursday, BLM Los Angeles leader Melina Abdullah told TMZ that its stance hasn’t changed and Smollett still has the organization’s full support.
Quote:
”It’s not about a trial or a verdict decided in a white supremacist charade, it’s about how we treat our community when corrupt systems are working to devalue their lives.”
Quote:
“In our commitment to abolition, we can never believe police, especially the Chicago Police Department (CPD) over Jussie Smollett, a Black man who has been courageously present, visible, and vocal in the struggle for Black freedom,”
Came here for the Chappelle references; leaving satisfied.
"Mr. Smoullier, please tell me what happened. You left the house at 2 am—2 am? It was minus-16 degrees... okay... You were walking? You were walking. Allllright... And, and where were you going? Subway!? Sandwiches!?"

That BLM quote is simultaneously the most insane and least shocking thing I've read all day.

BLM is really reaching for idiocy with that quote. How could anyone put that out and not be laughed at? High schoolers can see flaws in that logic. So dumb.
We all have narcissists in our lives who are constantly seeking validation for some identity they want to create for themselves. It's rare that their actions get them international spotlight and a guilty verdict instead of just raised eyebrows and rolling eyes from friends. This example was narcissism on steroids!
