Yeah, but I've personally seen where whether or not someone is of sound mind is...hard to say. Kind of like with the death penalty the potential consequence of a mistake is too high to me

At least with physical illnesses. Like, in my extreme example, bone cancer in the skull. (Unless it's treatable)

Well that's quite the walking back from any pain

What about terrorist?

I'm willing to compromise.

The Christchurch shooters, or the New Years Truck Driver

shooter*

I think i would just leave it to terminal illnesses. @micamike45

I think the government should not be able in the business of preventing people to harm or kill themselves. But I do see how a society that fosters acceptance of suicide would have a lot of issues.

Can anyone help me understand why the Jussie smollet thing wasn't a giant hit job on Jussie?

Because it isn't a hit job if you broadcast to the world that they need to find someone to punch and that person ends up being you

According to the article Jussie never changed his story but the immigrants did multiple times. Suspicious no?

@TailsFromTheIntellectualDarkWeb Its not bad to look at the police who investigate these things, but that article was really bad. It took into account the cops past, while never looking at Jussies..... Just painting him as a beacon of light.

@Shadows I mean it mentioned his work in the community and charity. And most saliently to me his criticism of the CPD
Which could be a motive for this potential hit job

Yeah, they gave up the story to get off. Accomplices do that a lot, not really unusual

Maybe but the police could have also coerced the story they wanted out of them because they already didn't like Jussie

Doesn't explain why they would be able to find him on his way back from Subway at 2am in -20 weather and get him to call 2 very dark individuals white or pale skinned

That's the story Jussie told on his own

That would be an elaborate conspiracy

Maybe it wasn't those immigrants
Maybe it was 2 other ppl (who were white)but these immigrants got caught up and said what the police wanted so they could stay out of trouble

Innocent ppl plead all the time...

Besides critics of the Chicago Police are a dime a dozen, why pick a b list actor to frame?

Opportunity?

That article was doing a lot of guessing, it didn't say anything of substance. We won't really know anything unless the FBI looks at this and tells us, or the other people investigating the matter tell us.

Sounds like a pretty tough opportunity to set up

No the opportunity presented itself

Its a big stretch.....

These suspect detectives took the case when they saw it come up
And basically said f*** him(to Jussie)

They do have shady histories

That's what you believe, not what we know.

True

Except the shady histories

That we seem to know

Jussie's story made no sense to begin with. Two guys jump him and he fights them, but barely gets bruised, doesn't even lose his Subway sandwich, while somehow they manage to get a clothesline 'noose' around his neck before running off yelling 'this MAGA country Bitch!'

That is just not a plausible account of a beating

😮

Many cops are bad, but also many cops get So many accusations on them that are false or unproven, its hard to look at a cops history and know which is which.

And then he doesn't even take the 'noose' off but waits with it dangling on his neck for 45 minutes until the detectives arrive

NOT REAL

that is not how humans behave

What if the white guys that did it him we're the detectives investigating the case????
