Jussie Smollett Documentary

[Bigbrog]

Anyone watch this yet?  I watched it last night...super bizarre.   I was left thinking that he is one of the most delusional human beings in the world who has lied so often and for so long he actually believes his lies.  It also doesn't help that he had enablers along the way enabling the behavior. 

Also, as what documentaries can do, they did an admirable job trying to spin and create "controversy" based on selective editing of content and framing of "evidence", but it didn't work.  The over-the-top framing of "Chicago Police Bad!" got to be a little much (yes, I know there has been corruption in the past)...but to say the police faked/altered all the evidence and that a jury of their peers and a judge still agreed Jussie was guilty of faking the assault is telling.  And even the Supreme Court ruling had nothing to do with him not being guilty but rather a technicality of a previous "plea agreement".

Overall, it is terrible that he did what he did as it puts into question people who actually were assaulted.

I saw the trailer for it. I might have to watch it.  There’s nothing like a good documentary about the race card.

Saw it but haven't watched yet.  Bit concerned they would manage which facts they include to sway the doc in preferred direction.  I'll prob get to it eventually.

Have any watched the Maxwell doc?

You have valid concerns about the Smollett doc.

I have not...on the watch list.  Any good?

Yes it was good well done with statements from people that use to be friends of her's as well as victims.
