IL - Actor Jussie Smollett allegedly attacked in hate crime Jan 2019 #3 *SMOLLETT ARRESTED*

[kimlynn]

He hasn't been found guilty yet but if it were true that he was attacked by two guys yelling Maga Country wouldn't it just be two racist guys and have nothing to do with supporters of MAGA.

‘Empire’ actor Jussie Smollett now ‘classified as a suspect’ in a criminal probe following attack claims, Chicago police say

I just re-watched the JS GMA interview and I feel like he had lots of his lines rehearsed. Some of the lines were cringe-worthy, but he did a decent on lots of it. In case anyone wants to watch

I am guessing the suspect will look alot worse at his court appearance today than at his Jan 29th hospital stint; this time from GENUINE stress, fear, and non- crocadillian tears ....a new day is dawning for him .

Also wondering about the hot sauce bottle with the bleach in it. Had to be planted after the fact.

I just awoke, was nice to rest my eyes a bit from the Jussie victim thread when the mods were switiching its title . But I woke up with this thought.... so just how would one hang a rope from a palm tree?! I suppose a stealth cherry-picker lift could do a drive-by, or a lasso from a crane....

The absurdity of this case put my brain in comic relief mode during my REMS.

I’m sorry, but where is the link saying he was arrested?

He hasn't been arrested yet but he will be soon.

That link doesn’t justify the “*SMOLLETTT ARRESTED*” title of this thread.

Wow, he is a hypocrite. He does have a beautiful voice though.

I’ll be very disappointed if this turns out to be a staged thing. What could the motive possibly be?

There’s a ton of possibilities, and unless he told the brothers, he’s likely the only one who knows.

Personally, I think this was about getting his name out there, and furthering his career.

Very sad if true. It’d be just sowing more divisiveness in this country in a time when we already have too much.

BBM. I agree. To use an old school term, it was a publicity stunt. And the stunt went wildly awry.
