IL - Gay black actor beaten, bleached, attackers shout "This is MAGA country!"

[phill4paul]

Is it just me or are "they" actually getting skittish on this one?

That's not anywhere near the bombast and bullshit I'd expect hear from that idiot broad if she thought for one second some actual white raycississ did this.

No, it's not just you. Their responses seem....measured.

 

[specsaregood]

lol, cops post photo of people of interest.

after reviewing hours of video from dozens of cameras, that was the best they could come up with.
basically the only people near the area he claims he was attacked at 2am on a Monday morning in the middle of a snowstorm.

MAGA Country? I only know of the glorious Kekistan!

[MelissaWV]

Kind of his manager to be on the phone with the victim at 2am, hear him being attacked, yet not call the police for him?

 

[Wooden Indian]

It's too much, but at least they paired it back a hair from the original story.

From The AP-
War Hero Transexual Black Immigrant with Down Syndrome Attacked while solving World Hunger:

Witnesses on Twitter confirm the MAGA attack was perpetrated by Ghost of Adolf Hitler. Additional sources close to the situation and employed by Buzzfeed also confirm that Trump, in posession of Adolf's skull, used White Power Sorcery to raise him from the depths of South Carolina itself.

Impeachment proceedings are being demanded by all sensible people everywhere and have only been discouraged by Nazi Homophobic Cisgender Christians that everyone hates.

A woman who lives in Jussie Smollett's apartment building told cops she saw a suspicious man -- whom she said looked like a "redneck" -- loitering just outside the entrance to the building an hour and a half before Jussie says he was attacked.

The woman -- who asked us not to use her name -- tells TMZ, she walked out of the building at 12:30 AM Tuesday to take her dogs out and saw the man near the door, pacing between the parking garage and entrance, looking agitated and smoking a cigarette. She says, "He looked out of place." He was a white man with scruff on his face wearing a blue winter beanie, a blue zip-up sweatshirt with a hood and blue jeans that were too short, exposing "thick, grey hunting socks" with camel-colored dress shoes.

She says she noticed what looked like a rope, or a clothesline, protruding from the bottom of his sweatshirt, made of white and blue material.

She says he was staring at another man about 300 feet away, who was standing near another entrance to the building.

She says she got "creeped out" by the man, and after 5 minutes she retreated back into the building.

I know many a 'redneck,' none dress as she describes. Sounds like a metro-sexual Paul Bunyon wanna be.

The city with the most cameras in the country.... and no video of it the attack or after effects.

Clearly, more cameras are needed ...

The actor who claimed that he was the subject of an attack at the hands of supporters of President Donald J. Trump due to his race and sexual orientation is not cooperating with police to help them verify those facts.
“Chicago police CONFIRM Jussie Smollett and his music manager, Brandon Moore, told detectives they were on the phone when Smollett was being attacked,” according to Rob Elgas of ABC. “However, detectives are unable to ‘independently verify’ the call occurred because Smollett refused to turn over his phone.”

Many agree that Smollett would want to use any evidence at his disposal to prove that he was not fabricating his claims, especially since he is outwardly anti-Trump, which would provide a motive for him to fake such an attack.

Man admits to faking hate crime in Malden

https://www.bostonherald.com/2016/11/18/man-admits-to-faking-hate-crime-in-malden/

By BRIAN DOWLING |
PUBLISHED: November 18, 2016 at 12:00 am | UPDATED: November 17, 2018 at 12:00 am

In the latest case of a faked hate crime, a 20-year-old man has admitted he made it up when he told Malden cops he was harassed by two men proclaiming it’s “Trump country now.”

The man, whose name police have not released, had filed a complaint saying when he got off an MBTA bus near Broadway Square in Malden at 10 p.m. Tuesday, at least two white men approached him.

The men used a racial slur, made a reference to lynching and warned him this is Donald “Trump country now,” according to the report he gave police. He was able to get away from the men and hid before calling police, officials said.

Investigators prioritized resources for the suspected “hate crime” incident and re-interviewed the alleged victim.

“As a result, it has been determined that the story was completely fabricated,” Malden police Chief Kevin Molis said in a statement. “The alleged victim admitted that he had made up the entire story,” saying he wanted to “raise awareness about things that are going on around the country.”

Police informed the man of the legal consequences of filing a false police report and warned him of the potential damaging impact that they had on the local community.

Malden Mayor Gary Christenson said, “When I heard the story was fabricated, we were not surprised at all.”

Christenson said he was told about the incident in an email at 12:30 a.m. Wednesday and he reached out to Molis, who was working on it by 2:30 a.m.

“Our community reacted quickly, and 24 to 48 hours later, here we are feeling better about who we are and why we are one of the most diverse cities in the state,” Christenson said. “Residents like ours who are letting us know when they hear or see something like this, that is important to how a city like ours moves forward.”

News reports of claims of harassment and hateful graffiti by Trump supporters have abounded since the Nov. 8 election, but a number of high-profile cases have fallen apart. In Lafayette, La., a Muslim woman will be charged with filing a false report after she admitted to making up a story about two men — one in a Trump hat — robbing her of her wallet and her hijab head scarf. In Santa Monica, Calif., police said they could find no evidence an alleged beating of a gay man by Trump supporters had taken place.

Can't they find out if that phone call happened without him turning over his phone? Or is that just on TV?

I suspect they would need a warrant.

I'm still confused by what is even being alleged with that, "This is MAGA country," quote.

Does anybody actually say that acronym out lout as a word like that and expect strangers to understand? How is it even pronounced? Is it like mah-guh?

All I know is I sure hope these evil-doers are caught, just as you said, SuperMan.

Does anyone with a TV and stuff know: is this getting top-line coverage? Are they talking about it a lot?

[h=3]"Making Gains"[/h] Pardon our laughter, but no Special Ed, no we aren't:

• Chicago police Superintendent Eddie Johnson said Friday detectives are "making gains" in their investigation of a report that "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett was attacked by two men who yelled slurs and put a noose around his neck in Streeterville early this week.
  
  "We are making gains in the investigation and hopefully we’ll bring it to a successful resolution soon," Johnson told reporters at the Shakespeare District police station on the Northwest Side.
  
  He did not provide details. "I don’t like to comment too much on it out of respect for the victim, as well as I don’t want to compromise the detectives’ investigation.’’

Well, that's just bullshit. Would you like to know what detectives are telling us?

• It never happened. CPD is wasting hundreds of man hours to solve a Grindr date gone bad. The "victim" is refusing all forms of cooperation, his "ear witness" isn't cooperating, the Hollywood press is running with a non-existent narrative. The "persons of interest" are all but unidentifiable and left the area 20 minutes before the "attack," not to mention the anonymous witness who saw a "hillbilly looking" character that not a single camera in a one mile radius has a picture of.

And that's just from a couple of people working the case.
