Jussie said in the interview this morning he was positive those two were the attackers. And now it comes out that the two people just so happen to be walking around the same part of Chicago as the attack at 2 in the morning in negative temps and just so happen to be a coworker of Jussie’s....? Not buying it. Cops I think knew this from the get go and letting him dig his own grave.

You would think the first thing he would mention would be that they were black?

Doesn't quite line up with what everyone here stereotypes as MAGA.

I’d just like to let everyone know that yes, it’s true, I called this from the start.

What a wonderful Valentine’s Day present from Jussie

There is a reason I never weighed in on this incident specifically. That reason is now becoming apparent.

They need to make a movie about this. Now that Jussie’s gonna be out of a job maybe he can star in it.

If what's in that link is true, then he staged it so that his character wouldn't be written off "Empire." So what he basically did was set back civil rights and empower a-holes everywhere in order to advance his personal career.

Nice going, asswipe.

Making a false police report is a felony. So bye-bye to more than just your career.

Here's what's fucked up. Dipshits will over-use this anecdote as an excuse not to believe people in the future, ignoring all the actual hate crimes happening with far greater frequency than the fraudulent acts. It's the same shit mentality that fears women false reporting sexual assault and overweights it against how often such allegations are true.

Those who lack empathy win again, and we all lose.

Hopefully they try to recoupe the cost of the investigation from him too, which will be significant.

I wonder if this will be reported on the major networks lol.

Yes, they're going to use it to proclaim they're all hoaxes. We'll be hearing about this for 20+ years. Seriously.

This asshat needs to rot in jail for the disservice he has done to African Americans and gays everywhere.

This was from his interview earlier today


“For me, the main thing was the idea that I somehow switched up my story, you know? And that somehow maybe I added a little extra trinket, you know, of the MAGA thing,” Smollett said. “I didn't need to add anything like that. They called me a f----, they called me a n----. There’s no which way you cut it. I don't need some MAGA hat as the cherry on top of some racist sundae.”

He decided to start talking about the attack to try to clear up the lies. “I have to acknowledge the lies, and the hate. And it feels like if I had said it was a Muslim, or a Mexican, or someone black, I feel like the doubters would have supported me much more. A lot more,” he said. “And that says a lot about the place that we are in our country right now.”

Looks like Chicago police have publicly disputed the claims they have any evidence the attack was staged.

Chicago police on Thursday say they "have no evidence" to support reports they are investigating whether actor Jussie Smollett fabricated the story about his alleged assault in Chicago last month.

Chicago police spokesman said reports the attack was a hoax are "unconfirmed by case detectives" following multiple reports by Chicago news media.

"Media reports [about] the Empire incident being a hoax are unconfirmed by case detectives. Supt Eddie Johnson has contacted @ABC7Chicago to state on the record that we have no evidence to support their reporting and their supposed CPD sources are uninformed and inaccurate," police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi tweeted Thursday night.

https://www.newsweek.com/cory-booker-jussie-smollett-modern-day-lynching-1310186

Democratic Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey said the attack against Empire actor Jussie Smollett was an attempt at “modern-day lynching.” Booker asked Congress to pass an Anti-Lynching bill, which would make lynching a federal hate crime. Both Smollett and his character from Empire identify as gay.

“The vicious attack on actor Jussie Smollett was an attempted modern-day lynching. I'm glad he's safe,” Booker said. “To those in Congress who don't feel the urgency to pass our Anti-Lynching bill designating lynching as a federal hate crime– I urge you to pay attention.”


To be honest I didn’t even realize lynching was legal. See, Jussie started a conversation.

Fox states that he was not being written off the show

"20th Century Fox Television and Fox Entertainment added: “The idea that Jussie Smollett has been, or would be, written off of EMPIRE is patently ridiculous. He remains a core player on this very successful series and we continue to stand behind him.”

EDIT:
An up to date news report that presents a pertinent fact is 'boring' to you? ROFLMAO

Were talking about a complete dumbfuck vs. professionals that do investigations for a living....

Are we really surprised? When you're told to be a victim I'm sure you think it's easy. I just say some people called me a f** and a n***** and I walk around with a noose, it's as easy as pie, right? This is expected, and I called it from Post# 7
