Federal Judge Rules Against This Douchebag Jussie Smollett Again
MSN - Chicago's effort to make actor Jussie Smollett pay a six-figure civil fine for allegedly wasting police time on an alleged hoax hate-crime claim survived Tuesday, after a federal judge denied Smollett's motion to dismiss, according to The Associated Press.
Smollett's lawyers sought to have the lawsuit thrown out on multiple grounds, including that Smollett himself did not direct Chicago police to spend weeks investigating his claim and could not have known how much time and money would be spent.
The ruling allows the lawsuit to proceed and the case moves to the discovery phase. It could go to a civil trial by 2020.
Meanwhile, the city of Chicago went to state court in April to sue Smollett to recoup the cost in police overtime – set at $130,000 – in investigating his original claims.
The city sued Smollett in civil court under a municipal code that allows the city to impose fines on people who make "false statements" to authorities, thus wasting time and money. If it prevails, the city could collect up to three times the amount of damages the city sustains as a result of the violation – in Smollett’s case, that would be $390,000.
HAHAHA MOTHERFUCKER! The worst is most certainly yet to come and here's why: Smollett needed the lawsuit dismissed before going to discovery because that's when the other side opens the books on you and goes through all your shit. Basically. So this was a big tipping point where the federal Judge could have sent everybody home because it's already been a clusterfuck but instead decided to let the punches keep rolling. That means for the next few months, the city will forcibly drag out every detail behind his bullshit story. And good news for us - you know the city's going to make a public spectacle out of this character execution and for good reason: Jussie Smollett is a twat.
The concept of getting sued by the city for inciting unnecessary and excessive police work is WILD. You gotta waste soooo much fucking time to get this many people pissed off becuase end of the day people like wasting time. I'm not even talking cops. I'm talking literally anybody at any job is okay with wasting time every now and then. I don't care if you're Johnny Big Dick Corporate lawyer or the #2 substitute teacher at St. Barnabas. Bullshit is met with bullshit and every now and then that's fine.
But now imagine being the sole and singular reason the 2nd largest police force in the United States wasting ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY THOUSAND DOLLARS WORTH OF MAN HOURS. You've officially crossed a time wasting threshold continuum that can never be reenetered. Your dead next to Matthew McConaughy and his 85 year old daughter in that one space movie.
I digress.
Not everyone dropped out of law school twice like me so I know not all of you guys are experts. But trust me when I say this discovery phase thing is going to be beautiful. And because it's a civil case and not criminal, it's going to be on full display for the public, a place that universally hates this asshole's guts:
Smollett continues to insist he is innocent and was exonerated. Earlier this month, he posted a comment on Instagram responding after comparisons were made on social media between Smollett and a 12-year-old Virginia girl whose family admitted she made up her claim that white students held her down and cut her dreadlocks.
“With all due respect brother, y’all can clown me all you want but my story has actually never changed and I haven’t lied about a thing,” Smollett wrote on the post. “Y’all can continue to be misinformed, internalized sheep, who believe what actual proven liars feed you or you can read the actual docs. Either way, Imma be alright. I know me and what happened. You don’t. So carry on. All Love."
I mean while we're at it I want to be Peter Pan and fly around the world but just some things aren't happening Jussie.
Go fuck yourself.
Signed,
ALL THE SHEEP
