Chicago needs to worry about the killings and shootings of those little kids today’s do some work!

I still can't believe he's walking around freely. If there is justice he will pay and pay with time in jail.

Funny, that's what Capone said, too.

You lied, you pay!

Jail time!!! Boycott Empires

He's lucky he's not going to jail.

I guess others who have done this need to be free of charges also

Don't back down Chicago. If you are the city with the 'broad shoulders', time to prove against this huckster.

Smollett committed a hate crime and the evidence is plain to everyone

Lock him up!!!

The rich has one set of rules and the not so rich another.

Sorry America this whole mess is BS for the taxpayers who would already be in prison(or worse) if they had tried this rahm!!!

jeffreycortese Call the FBI and say you want to report a hate crime. Then sit down with an FBI Agent and make a detailed statement about what happened. If you won’t, then it’s easy to conclude you’re lying, and know that giving such a statement would land you in jail.

What a true SCUMBAG!! Smollett and his lawyer, BOTH

Who pays for his lies ( the taxpayers. liars belong be in the dog house.

Don’t do the crime if you can’t pay the fine, jackass!

Not surprised of Obama back yard law...😂😂😂

Leave us alone with this.

Wasn't Geragos part of a scam with Avenatti?

Oh f— that fine the hell out of him

We need those officers to protest against 45 for what he has done. It's a white color crime did by person of color.

Sick of this story, he’s now famous, everyone knows who Jussie Smollett is, he’s famous now. 🙄

Be careful he might fake another beating.

He should pay for his lies

Somebody can beat him up now and nobody will believe him anyway! So get to it!!🤣

In other words, pay the lawyers to fight a losing battle than pay the city.

Oh I hope they do bring it on. Unseal those charges and evidence!! Smollet is crazy!

Lock that MFer up!

Awesome! He'll lose in discovery!

They want blood, but selective outrage hard to reconcile w/o mentioning race CPD--without Chi suing for billable hrs/or even publishing a name--swept under rug a white Chicago woman's hoax this March But Smollett being fined $10,000 is biggest whitewash?

Agree.

Unseal all documents and put all evidence before a federal judge to make a determination.

I know Chicago is broke but sue this A hole. I would be interested to hear what the new black mayor says about the hate crime he committed and waste of Chicago resources.

I hope that Chicago can get their money for services wasted on this arrognant, nasty self- Absorded young man. And we all protest watching Empire if they bring Jussie back. The less we see that Smug Lying face the better.

Why isn't Geragos in jail? Two peas in a pod!

Eleven minutes and counting, right JussieSmollett

Chicago had their chance to prove this was a hoax and dropped all charges. They have no case to recoup the money now.

hatehoax moderndaylynching

reinstate the charges and see how quickly he pays up

Who's got the popcorn?

i have an idea, beat the $130,000 in fines out of that lying piece of craps hyde. he wanted to stage an assault on himself? let's make it a reality
