He’s stupid to set this situation up especially when there is real hate out there & still is happening. Now, it’s only going to get worse especially when it comes to race. Blacks & other races are going to be mocked even more. There are real people with real problems & he wanna go out & do something this disgusting.

The entire Chicago Police Department deserves a commendation for their excellent work related to the Smollett case. Our police officers, around the nation, don't ever get credit for the hard and dangerous work they do everyday. The credibility of the majority is, more times than not, damaged and slandered as a result of a few bad ones. That is so wrong. People, please, show your appreciation and support for you local police. If they stop you, be respectful and cooperative. If you've done something wrong, take accountability for it and pay the consequences. Our officers are just doing their jobs. Respect that!

In a nut shell this reminds me of a story that our teacher told us about greed when I was in grade school about a lucky dog that found a big juicy bone and came to the edge of a deep lagoon and saw what it thought was another dog with a big bone so he released his bone to steal the other bone to have 2, but it was actuality his own reflection and his bone fell in the water never to be found again and was left boneless.
