I've offered to make up the 25 cents.

One more reason why Barkley is a national treasure.

If you don't get the Liam Neeson bit, google it...

I have a friend who is a well known "golf pro" and "instructor" in the Chicagoland area.
He is a staunch Republican and is proud of it.
He posted something on social media about Jussie Smollett.
A different "golf pro" from the Chicagoland area who clearly states where he works on his profile responded - "Put the noose back on his neck".
I'm going to out him. His name is Jeff Mowery.
To him his post is probably nothing more that just another sentence from his brain to his keyboard - and it makes me wonder what he says out loud to people.
Perfect example of why I say too often - There are too many sick fucks in this world.

So...Gutter, Chikn, Mjl, anyone else from Chicago:

Explain yourselves!

Not sure how to explain this most recent turn of events. Just flat out odd.

Appears CPD fucked this thing up brilliantly.

CPD reportedly holding its own press conference in 15 minutes...

So I guess you can pay a $10K fine, do some community service and have 16 felonies waived.

Got it.

Apparently CPD is pissed.

What am I missing?

[DCHawk1]

What am I missing?

All charges dropped. CPD reportedly furious with Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx.

[NewtonHawk11]

What am I missing?

All charges of him lying to police have been dropped. Every single one.

"After reviewing all of the facts and circumstances of the case, including Mr. Smollett's volunteer service in the community and agreement to forfeit his bond to the City of Chicago, we believe this outcome is a just disposition and appropriate resolution to this case," the Cook County State's Attorney's Office said in a statement

[jhawks99]

Wow, that was sudden.

[Shirley]

Wow, that was sudden.

More evidence that Lobster is right.

All charges dropped. CPD reportedly furious with Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx.

"The stunning decision to drop the 16 counts of disorderly conduct was presumably made without the input of State’s Attorney Kim Foxx, who recused herself from the case last month after revealing she’d had contact with Smollett’s representatives early on in the investigation.

Foxx declined to provide details at the time. Communications later released to the Tribune, however, showed Foxx had asked Chicago police Superintendent Eddie Johnson to turn over the investigation to the FBI after she was approached by a politically connected lawyer about the case."

I'd tell you that there's a board specifically for this kind of thing, but I know you really can't help yourself.
