How can Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx possibly ignore the damage done by Jussie Smollett’s hoax? When Chicago was still reeling from the looting and violence that followed George Floyd’s murder, pretending to be a victim of a hate crime was itself a hate crime.
The victims of Smollett’s hoax are people who deal with bias and hate in their daily lives. There is no denying hateful actions still exist. I do not believe that two wrongs make a right, and there is no excuse for crime on persons or property in the name of exacting justice.
