Why did he come back in view still holding his subway and not take the rope off his neck? Just a lot of questions from the start. I think the main reason is because he's a moron. My 8 year old could have pulled off a more convincing stunt. Edited February 24, 2019 by RaoulDuke79 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More than one or two enterprising financiers will take a run at giving him a staring vehicle of some kind just to cash in on the controversy/hype surrounding Smallette. And with Netflix pouring money into activist "shows" (and hiring political activists as producers to make them), he'll have more than enough "safe spaces" where he'll be viewed as a hero even though he lied. Then there's the reality TV circuit... He'll have plenty of work when he gets done with this, barring a prolonged sentence which allows him to completely disappear out of view. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leading up to it it was a story because there was an investigation to figure out what happened, they found it to be a hoax which pretty much ends the story until a court case begins or he starts talking in public again. Until then, what's to report or talk about? The news/media are there to report what is available to them at the time. Nothing appears to have been made up or fabricated by the media in this. They just 'reported' what he told everyone happened. People then took that info and ran with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With these old battleaxe Republican election judges in Will county? No way a dead person and illegal alien is allowed to vote in my Republican collar county precinct. These election judge ladies fought the Battle of the Bulge... Nothing is slipping by them... Especially a Snowflake Democrat trying to vote twice. This is Deplorable Central, blue firewall country. It just didn't bend Trump as much as Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan, & Pennsylvania because the Deplorable country element win out. 6% is NOT a landslide. Gary Johnson plucked off a whopping 4% and Jill Stein, 1.5%. There's your race or it would have been a landslide or if Trump was a decent human being, a dead heat. Hillary barely got 50%, in some of the deepest Blue of Will County (Joliet, etc...). Many people who couldn't vote for Trump went Johnson. It's a dead heat. This considering... Populist Trump ALMOST flipped me towards The Basket©. I never voted for a Republican in my life. Ever. I was that close, but my moral compass, what ever little was left of it for Clinton, prevailed. The results are showing with the mass corruption a businessman brings to politics. My #1 reason not breaking from ranks behind the Blue Firewall was that businessmen in politics bring even more corruption. It's showing. Sorry to get political... You can have last word. That's the situation here. The old stereotype are fun, but simply don't hold. Again, I am Will County, not Cook... There is very little Purple Buffer zone here. I know it's confusing for outsiders...

What would he have done if some poor schmo who was wandering around in the wrong place at the wrong time got charged with this? He will gets what he deserves, if not here and now.....eventually.
