Jussie Smollett strikes emotional chord: Attackers won’t win

“The most important thing I can say is ’thank you so much, and I’m OK,” said the “Empire” actor and R&B singer from the stage at the Troubadour in West Hollywood in his first public appearance since he reported to police in Chicago on Tuesday that two masked men had assaulted him and put a rope around his neck while using homophobic and racial slurs.

“I’m not fully healed yet,” said Smollett, who is black and openly gay, “but I’m going to be, and I’m gonna stand strong with y’all.”

The concert had been planned long before the incident, and his family members and others had urged him to postpone it.

But Smollett said he couldn’t do that.

“I had to be here tonight, y’all. I couldn’t let those (expletives) win,” he said to screams and cheers from the packed room of about 400 people. “I will always stand for love. I will only stand for love.”

I guess he was strong enough to hold onto his subway sandwich through the whole “attack” as he was seen holding it when he reached his building.

All this fuss because of an alleged attack on some Hollywood “star”. Ordinary people are attacked all the time, sometimes in their own homes. Muggings, home invasions, robberies, etc. It’s such a big deal when it happens to some “celebrity”....so much more than the ordinary folk.

I’m still waiting for the evidence. I think IF he was attacked, it was from someone he had been with for a brief “interlude”.

He’s attacking Trump supporters by making up stories. Attackers never win.

Where were you, and what time was it?

If you were not exercising situational awareness you were probably in the wrong place at the wrong time. Sadly, that is a fact of life.

Chances are, If you practice situational awareness you will never have to pull your weapon out because things just will not happen where you are at and when you are there.

The article omitted a key statement from Smollett:
"And for my next attack, I'm going to be run over by two rednecks who are driving the General Lee."

just another hate-filled attention whore. I doubt if many of us here had ever heard of this guy, but now we all have. The easiest way to get attention is to stage a “hate-crime” hoax.

From the “Second City Cop” blog:

“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.”

And the AP just keeps holding his beer.
There is no lower life form than a liberal reporter.

Nobody is buying his story. It’s another attention-seeking SJW fake hate crime hoax.

It'll soon be listed here in the Fake Hate Crimes Index.

Unless the cops and media bury it. Natch.

This will never be exposed as a hoax even though I’m betting cops knew immediately it was. The Rat cult leaders in Chicomcago will never allow it, so what’s going to happen is it will be buried under the rug and brought out every now and then by the Rats as “proof” of the evil racism by Trump supporters.

The attackers can’t win if they don’t exist. So very true.

Amazing how all these attackers walk around with MAGA hats and nooses. Seems plausible to me. [/s]
