IL - Actor Jussie Smollett allegedly attacked in hate crime being black & gay Jan 2019 #2*ARRESTS*

[Snoods]

I've just watched the GMA interview. What a load of self-aggrandizing BS. I had chuckle when Jussie boasted, "He [the attacker] punches me right in the face, so I punched his *advertiser censored* back." Then at the end of the interview, Jussie goes into a "be a fighter like me!" diatribe. Wow, instant street cred for Jussie.. NOT. Silly man.

He’s such a fool. It’s surreal at this point; every day something new, cringe-y and more bizarre comes to light about him.

He is a hateful, self-aggrandizing (perfect word @mister happy), narcissistic liar who doesn’t care a lick about who he hurts, inconveniences and steam rolls over as long as it benefits Jussie and his cons. His self-imposed hero role is laughable at best.

Now that made my day. I laughed so hard when they yelled out maga country. Too damn funny!!!

In their heavy Nigerian accents. That parody is hilarious.

Twitter also has some memes and comments that are laugh out loud funny.

So, who is the victim here?

The buff Osundairo brothers, budding actor-models who have worked on “Empire,” considered backing out of the planned attack, sources close to the investigation told CBS’ Chicago affiliate.

The pair took a ride share near the location of the assault on North Water Street and appeared nervous in the car’s surveillance camera in the hours before it happened, sources said.

Abimbola and Olabinjo, who got there before Smollett, were also seen sitting on a bench. The actor arrived a short time later.

Hoax
Fake News
Hate Crime

Jmo- All three apply.

Should be a major crime when someone fakes an attack to cause division in a country.

So, who is the victim here?

The REAL victims who can't get their DNA tests ran because the labs are too backed up, or there too many crimes to have the detectives work the case. You know, the one we never hear about.

The attack wasn't caught on cameras or cctv, correct? If that is true why hire people to beat you up? If he is lying he made his story so complicated, with hats a noose and some chemical thrown at him. He could antagonized a MAGA hat wearing person in a bar and started a real fight with a real a-hole. The guys he supposedly hired, what were they thinking?

Since Jussie pointed out the camera himself, he must have thought it was recording the incident. But unbeknownst to him the camera was pointing north.

The camera in the area of the alleged attack has the round dark cover, can’t see which way the camera is facing. Jmo he wanted it on cctv but it didn’t work out.
...

He also claimed he took a second round of police officers to the scene of the incident. “I went down where it happened and I walked them through exactly what happened,” Smollett said. “And I looked them up and saw there is a camera directly on the light post that is in the intersection. So I’m like, ‘There it is.’ … And [later] the detective told me the camera inside of the casing was facing north, so they didn’t have it.”

I think the main point was to get “beaten up” without really getting hurt. The friends he hired to do this weren’t going to mess up that pretty face, ya know.

One thing I just thought about, there are so many people who have issues with the "state of our country", yet, here is a black man, who had to pay folks to beat him up for a fake hate crime.

If things were so terrible, he wouldn't have needed to set up anything. I don't know where people come up with this stuff.

The guys were probably thinking "yay, 4k". JS apparently was thinking it would be filmed by the camera he staged (allegedly ) his crime scene performance beneath. The camera was filming in a different direction than he assumed. Bet he's kicking himself for not springing for a bigger crew.

You pay people so it doesn't leave you dead or needing plastic surgery. The two brothers could have gotten killed if a cop had been in the area.

Because if he antagonized a fight with a real a-hole he wouldn't be the poor innocent victim.

Or maybe it did record everything... Just saying. The CPD have been pretty clever about this whole thing.

The way they continuously said that the attack was not caught on camera makes me think it was actually caught on camera but looked so suspicious to them (CPD) that they wanted to hold this close to the vest and let JS think it was not recorded to give them time to track down the brothers and also to let JS get caught up in more lies.

Pretty sure they were on to his scheme from the get go!

That would be another interesting twist!

Two brothers released without charges after being identified last week as “possible suspects” in the alleged attack on actor Jussie Smollett met with detectives and prosecutors at the Leighton Criminal Court Building on Tuesday, authorities said, as investigators continue to look into whether the “Empire” cast member staged the incident.

Their attorney, Gloria Schmidt, declined to comment as she left the courthouse at about 3:40 p.m. Tuesday.

There are plenty of racists a-holes around, you don't have to do much but exist to antagonize them. I meant make a comment about their hat, or the wall and if they get enraged and hit you, that's on them.

I guess he didn’t want to take that risk. It’s like people using an accelerator to burn down their house, then making an insurance claim. It’s not that fires don’t happen but they make sure they happen and that they don’t get hurt.

NOW: Fmr. S.A. Anita Alvarez on Kim Foxx:
“Maybe I should have just recused myself from the difficult cases that came across my desk when I was State’s Attorney. I was under the impression that when the voters elected me and I took my oath of office, it meant I had to do my job.” Brad Edwards on Twitter

It really is worth rewatching the GMA interview again. This time I caught that he said “I will never be the man that this did not happen to”

No Jussie, you will ALWAYS be the man this did not happen to.
