Why Lie About Being a Crime Victim?

The irony is that the particular attention-seeker most recently in the news has just lost his job/income, his celebrity status, his credibility, his fan base, and many real friends who feel betrayed.

He will probably serve some jail time as an example to others.

His foolish stunt has cost him everything.

I suspect Smollet will not have done himself any favours as an openly gay black man who has completely lost respect in the black and gay communities. Prison is going to be very lonely for him.

I agree.

Of those he has hurt, he has hurt himself the most.

Another reason not mentioned yet is to gain narcissistic supply. Social media and forums are narcissists / sociopaths training / playing grounds.

$15,000 per week?!

I may faint.

I would imagine more motivation comes from the fact that a lot of people get significant gain from such claims in various ways and don't get caught. When someone gets caught it's mostly an idiot who doesn't think things out. I would say among all reasons, a more popular one is political motivation, spray-paint cars and walls with white supremacy crap and tag it "Power to Trump", all done at the hands of a left-wing activist to "show how racist Trumps base is". (I mention this because a black guy actually got caught doing this, little did he know he was being recorded by a street camera) * The thing is, how much of this comes from people who don't get caught. If the guy were simply white, you wouldn't have been able to tell it was a hoax.

Weeks before charges against “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett were dropped, the Chicago Police Department was reportedly told by Cook County prosecutors to end the criminal investigation into allegations Smollett orchestrated a hate crime hoax, newly released documents show.

The directive was among the more than 400 pages of case reports, arrest files and supplementary files pertaining to the Smollett criminal investigation made public Thursday after a March ruling by Cook County Judge Steven Watkins.

Among the redacted reports, were notes from two detectives who said the Cook County State's Attorney's Office informed them on Feb. 28 -- just one week after Smollett turned himself in -- they could “no longer investigate the crime.”

There is a story here that hasn't been told and it all centers on "Why lie about being a crime victim"?
Were others involved in the plan or was this just Smollett's idea in the first place?

obviously a vast conspiracy launched by the DNC. Or by the reptoids. Or by the Rothchildes.

Prosecutors struggled over how to describe their reasoning for dropping all charges against actor Jussie Smollett. In an email sent to prosecutors by Smollett’s lawyer the day before the charges were dropped March 26, the lawyer, Patricia Holmes, suggested they say Smollett is a “dedicated citizen of Chicago who volunteers and contributes regularly in the Chicago area community," the New York Times reported.

Foxx had recused herself from the case, citing false rumors that she was related to Smollett. Previous explanations suggested she recused over contact she had with Smollett family members during the investigation.... she was told by an ethics officer that she “had to do it.”

According to the Times story, the state's attorney's office and the defense lawyer traded a series of emails in which they tried to neutralize the language so Smollett would neither be depicted as innocent or guilty of staging the alleged attack, and also tried to scale back his depiction as a contributor to the community.

In March, Foxx's office said she hadn't "formally" recused herself and had used the term in a "colloquial" sense rather than a legal sense.

So if I am reading this right. The head prosecutor was told by the departments ethics officer that she had to recuse herself from the case. [The exact reason why may not be known.] Then the prosecutor claimed [in the media] she was recused from the decision making process. But when the contrary facts started to come to light, she changed her story and claimed she didn't really recuse herself, she only meant it in a "colloquial" sense. That is a lot of double speak.

and the saga continues on and on ..............

Jussie Smollett hit back at a social media user who compared his alleged hate crime hoax to a 12-year-old girl who recently admitted she made up a story about how her dreadlocks were cut off by her white schoolmates.

Journalist Derrick Jackson posted a comment on Instagram that read, "Jussie really is a trendsetter," insinuating that the young girl, Amari Allen, took a page from Smollett's alleged book of lies.

She claimed three white boys cut her hair while on the playground at the Immanuel Christian School in Springfield, Va., but later confessed the incident didn't really happen after security footage couldn't corroborate her story.

In January, Smollett told police he was attacked by two masked men as he was walking home from a Chicago Subway sandwich shop at approximately 2 a.m. The openly gay actor alleged that the masked men beat him, taunted him with homophobic and racial slurs and yelled, "This is MAGA country."

In February, police determined that Smollett's masked assailants were brothers Abel and Ola Osundairo, who trained Smollett and worked with him on "Empire." Authorities also identified the brothers as those on surveillance video purchasing the rope that was reportedly hung around Jussie's neck during the alleged attack.

It was determined by police in late March that the former "Empire" star staged the racist hate crime he endured while shooting the show in Chicago.

Smollett was charged with filing a false police report, but those charges were dropped by Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx a few weeks later.

After Allen [12-year-old girl] admitted the truth, her family issued an apology but says that she has been a victim of bullying at the school.

“To those young boys and their parents, we sincerely apologize for the pain and anxiety these allegations have caused,” the family said in a statement. “To the administrators and families of Immanuel Christian School, we are sorry for the damage this incident has done to trust within the school family and the undue scorn it has brought to the school.”

When I was in 7th grade, some boy said I stabbed him with a plastic fork and it got stuck in his neck. I actually believed I did it because I had been told in the past I do things I am not aware of and have no memory of it. Then I find out in my freshman year it never happened and he only made it up to sound cool.

My mom told me if she had known about that story, she would have told me it didn't happen and I would have been arrested for assault and charged and gone to juvi hall.
