Is there a more delusional group of people than those who support Jussie Smollett? From Samuel L. Jackson to Black Lives Matter to the state’s attorney who handled the case, all have called for justice not to be served in this case largely because of the color of Smollett’s skin. To them, crimes by black people shouldn’t matter.

The state’s attorney of Cook County, Illinois, who originally handled the Smollett case, Kim Foxx, said the justice system “failed” for the actor because Smollett’s prosecution was “damaging, costly, and disingenuous.” If anybody was damaging and disingenuous during the Smollett case, it was Foxx. Once it became clear Smollett had lied to police and staged a fake hate crime, Foxx dropped the case and tried to make it disappear. It took a Cook County judge to appoint a special prosecutor to make sure the people of Chicago got justice. If it were up to Foxx, Smollett would have been free to commit all the fake hate crimes he wanted.
