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

Police sources: New evidence suggests Jussie Smollett orchestrated attack

By Ryan Young and Brad Parks
February 16, 2019

Two law enforcement sources with knowledge of the investigation told CNN that Chicago Police believe Jussie Smollett paid two men to orchestrate the assault.

The brothers, who were arrested Wednesday, were released without charges Friday after Chicago police cited the discovery of "new evidence." The sources told CNN that the two men are now cooperating fully with law enforcement.

Smollett told authorities he was attacked early January 29 by two men who were "yelling out racial and homophobic slurs." He said one attacker put a rope around his neck and poured an unknown chemical substance on him.

The sources told CNN that there are records that show the two brothers purchased the rope found around Smollett's neck at an Ace Hardware store in Chicago.

According to Fox32 Chicago's Rafer Weigel, Chicago PD detectives were able to link the two Nigerian brothers to the purchase of the rope found around Smollett's neck, and they may have been paid to perform the alleged attack. "The brothers agreed to cooperate with police who are investigating whether Smollett made up the story after police threatened to charge them with battery. The brothers attorney said both brothers knew Smollett," tweeted Weigel, adding "There are unconfirmed reports that Smollett paid the two brothers to perform the alleged scheme."

Weigel added that Chicago PD continues to consider Smollett a "victim" in the case. We're sure his super-connected high-profile lawyer has nothing to do with this.
.@Chicago_Police say even after the Nigerian brothers release and despite “new evidence” from their interrogation #JussieSmollett is still being called a “victim” in this case. #Chicago #CPD

Chicago PD reportedly reached out to Smollett's legal team "and expressed interest" in talking with the "Empire" star again.

If you needed any further indication that the walls are closing in on Jussie Smollett, CNN has now gone full-bore against the Empire star, with a panel of guests denouncing what what many suspected all along; it appears that Smollett staged a hate crime hoax.

A lot of Democrats in Hollywood owe MAGA voters an apology. It had a lot of them chastising me for not buying Jussie’s story. Those of us who were skeptical were right. Now @CNN reports Jussie paid the two Nigerian brothers to stage the attack. pic.twitter.com/RIrnKUFEoF

After the Covington MAGA hat disaster, one might think Democrats would wait before rushing to judgement. One would be wrong.
There is no such thing as “racially charged.”

This attack was not “possibly” homophobic. It was a racist and homophobic attack.

The racist, homophobic attack on @JussieSmollett is an affront to our humanity. No one should be attacked for who they are or whom they love. I pray that Jussie has a speedy recovery & that justice is served. May we all commit to ending this hate once & for all.

.@JussieSmollett is one of the kindest, most gentle human beings I know. I’m praying for his quick recovery.

This was an attempted modern day lynching. No one should have to fear for their life because of their sexuality or color of their skin. We must confront this hate.

Care to revise?
A minor note - Chicago PD has corrected the information regarding the bleach bottle, telling Fox News that it came from the former suspects' apartment, not Smollett's.

Revise what? Haven't you heard? Truth is irrelevant.

The only thing that matters is that "people had thought something like that was possible" ...

Smollett reportedly directed at least one of the Nigerian brothers to purchase the rope (at the Crafty Beaver hardware store) and hats. They were also paid $3,500 each prior to leaving for Nigeria and promised $500 each upon their return, according to CBS Chicago's Charlie De Mar.

It appears that Jussie Smollett tried to manufacture a hate crime to make Trump supporters look bad and most of the media not only uncritically accepted his lies as facts for weeks, but attacked those who questioned the validity of his false story.

CNN is all in on the Jussie Smollett news... but they keep forgetting the part where he claimed attackers were Trump supporters��

From the comments at another web site:

Son of Snake Plissken - 2 hours ago

Noose still on, Sandwich in hand
He thought the nation was at his command

Did a concert, sang a song
But He lied, all along

The MAGA for which he cried, in Chi
Just really some Nigerian guys

Supporters at first were powerful and plenty
Now they'll hide and there won't be any

No retractions will be made
The story will now move to the shade

He has proven , he is not so smart
His story has completely fallen apart

The jig is up for Smollett
And he is left to eat some shit

He will walk with the gay black card
But his lawyers will hit his wallet hard

From the article:

Meanwhile, what am I going to say if Smollett’s alleged attackers turn out to be black?

“What idiots. The real Trump supporters are going to have a heyday.”

Fodder?

Heyday?

The Bolsheviks and Jacobins are two pins away from crying havoc and spilling blood, and it will be some asshole like this with a fake "hate" crime that will push them over the edge.

Fuck everybody involved with this.

From 'get-go' the article....

Early on, one of my readers made an annoying dig about the frantic search for the attackers of “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett:

“What are you going to say when the attackers turn out to be black?” he asked, taunting me.

Lol. Damned straight. We smell racial hatred dividing rats in it for personal gain at every turn.

Dems like to use the term "dog-whistle" disparagingly. Well, they seem to have a problem with "Wolf cries." And well, "that dog don't hunt."

On that note... Should those guilty of claiming fake "hate" crimes be charged and prosecuted under hate crime legislation? I would say so, since the motivation is much the same.

Yes, I know most of us here are against "hate crime" legislation. But pretend you aren't and argue the pro/con of the above question.

All false accusations should be punished with the punishment the accused would have gotten.

That has always been my opinion too.

An alternative would be to treat the punishment the accused would have gotten as the crime it would have been (kidnapping, murder etc.) and give the accuser the punishment due those crimes.
