Plus the far wall looks to be a beauty aisle as well. I've never been in a convenience store that has three full aisles and end caps for makeup. Plus it looks like there's a hot pink bag on the end of the counter.

Did the police never say the name of the store they bought it from? I mean they got the tape, they know the exact store.

yronic heroism posted:The odds sound way against them ever getting a conviction and Smollett could simply not afford to admit guilt because it would end his career. There’s nothing that says the DA has to take a losing case to trial. How do you know it wasn't two white guys? When the news broke the rumors were that it was cops. Until the cops suddenly started leaking info like a broken faucet. Which magically stopped as soon as the FBI got involved.

We could just as easily call the attacks on them racist and anti-immigrant to boot.

I’m comfortable saying that makes him look guilty as hell even if it’s not 99% absolute proof. The check that was supposed to be their motive for participating in faking a hate crime is a "sideshow"? Why the gently caress did they do it then? He faked a hate crime to get a salary hike? Are you for real? Wow what a surprise that a hillbot is a cop-fellating shitbag

TheScott2K posted:Should have resigned the minute her name hit the papers. The fact that Bill Clinton chose to press forward with the lie and doom the political system to a year+ of hashing that out was, on its own, grounds for impeachment and removal. Imagine how slightly less terrible the world would be if Gore had run as an incumbent. That's one of those retro-spectroscope things, at the time it was obvious that the GOP was willing to do anything to take Clinton down and destroy the Democratic party, remember that poo poo didn't start with the blue dress and Monica, it's started with Whitewater and was primarily motivated by the GOP still being pissed that their presidents were getting impeached and investigated for all of their criming and desperately wanted to prove that the Democrats were just as bad, the problem for them was that for one the Democrats weren't just as bad and for two the Democrats who were bad were smart enough not to leave evidence laying around. Going after him regarding his affair with Monica was their final hail Mary play and essentially the Democrats chose to push back on it because if Clinton resigned over it then every president into perpetuity would be attacked over trivial nonsense. I mean it's easy looking back from 2019 that Bill resigning over his affair and Gore being able to run as a popular incumbent would have given us a better timeline than what eventually occurred but that's just conjecture, It's not like Clinton or the Democrats were unpopular in 2000 it's just came down to the fact that W's brother was basically able to hand him the electoral votes he needed to win and the public was largely "eh we've had 8 years of Democrats, let's give the GOP a swing" which could easily have happened if Bill had resigned in fact if he had resigned it would have been demotivating to the Democratic electorate and we could have easily had the same outcome. The thing is that they could have made sure that Monica was treated decently and not only would it not have hurt them, it would have actually been good optics and the fact that they didn't shows the flaw in the Centrist 3rd way bullshit, their never ending willingness to sacrifice others for the "greater good".

I can't even find rope at Target, and I have a huge one near me. I hope lots of the white people(reminder I am white) who were readily accepting that a famous actor somehow decided to hatch an ill-thought out plan to get a small raise on a show he's a lead on, and still can't let it go, realize they think that way because of racism.

VitalSigns posted:If I faked a hate crime and got caught but the police hosed up so bad that it would all go away if I forfeited $10,000 I would absolutely take it. This ignores the contradictions of the pro-Smollett argument ITT. If you believe that the case was buried because once it sees the light of day it shows CPD obviously framed the poo poo out of him, then going to trial only helps him because it vindicates him publicly and supports his criticisms of CPD.

yronic heroism posted:he claims it was two white guys (false) THAT IS NOT HOW MEMORY WORKS Most of what you remember about things is not an accurate retelling of only what you witnessed. Not some, most. Jussie would not actually clearly remember the details of their appearance. If two guys jumped him, and beat him up while screaming at him: His brain would immediately try to construct a narrative to explain what was happening to him. It's even possible that he could "make up" the reasons before and after. They may have never actually said "Welcome to MAGA country" - they could have said something that sounded similar. Or he could be jumbling multiple sentences in his head. OR they could have been saying something like that, and then his memory would literally remember them as two white dudes because it would fill in the gaps because he knows only white people say things like that. We all do this, all the time, and it doesn't make us liars. It just means that unless extreme care is taken - "What exactly did they say, word for word? Could you tell they were white because you could see their faces? What are the reasons you have for believing this was a random assault, etc etc." - memory should be treated extremely carefully and suspiciously. The human brain is EXTREMELY good at taking our memories and literally rewriting portions of them to fit to our expected narrative. That doesn't mean that they aren't real memories, it just means that memory is terrible.

I don't know if I subscribe to the full "cops set him up" theory but I don't see how your post makes any sense at all. In the hypothetical scenario where the cops set up Smollett to go to jail he should gamble on going to jail to expose them on the hopes that the clearly corrupt system doesn't fail?

His whole deal was saying that "sexual relations" meant intercourse, not mouth stuff, so he was technically not lying Not sure if I believe him, but Bill was really into being a pedantic rear end in a top hat about exact wordings of things so it doesn't entirely strain credulity that his original testimony was leaning on the "I'm not touching you, I'm touching your shirt" of arguments
