I had no opinion on the possibility this was real or a hoax

Well I had an opinion that formed when I first read the fanciful description of the "assailants*" wearing MAGA hats. Set off my bullsh!t detector immediately.

* another word for "figments" in this instance

Im just gonna call self hoax fake right now.

Only thing missing was a small inconsequential gasoline fire that burned a tiny portion of something before going out.

He claims he was doused with bleach...if he was, there would be bleach spots on his clothing and hair. I guess it was PRECISION dousing that only got his face...And what a funny disguise...masked, all in black, except for the red MAGA hats...they'd be perfectly safe in Chicago just going for a stroll at 2am in minus 50 degree weather...and they RECOGNIZED him from his tv show? MAGA hat guys watch that show, eh? This is Twana Brawley on steroids, and the lamestream media went for it immediately because it fits their agenda.

I seem to recall a black church having the n-word spray-painted on it just before the 2016 election, and afterwards a church member was charged with doing it. Lots of attention to the initial story, and not a peep about what really happened.

Yeah its the MAGA guys you have to watch out for in the urban yutes inner city areas.

How they left him alive, I don’t know.

Did they rob him too? They left his wallet and cash? Hmmm. His face isn’t pummeled into a pancake? Hmmm. They didn’t succeed in killing him if they were so bad and put a rope around his neck? Hmmmm. Cant find tons of video of them before, during and after the incident? Hmmmmm.

This ass needs long jail time.

Yeah I’m looking forward to seeing this one blow up in their faces.

It will be quietly dropped. Nothing will blow up.

For the record, as soon as I saw the word “noose” I knew this was a hoax.

“Noose” ALWAYS means “hoax”.

Maybe they said “this is Marlboro Country” but the Gay Black Actor couldn’t understand them because of their Deplorable Redneck Kentucky Hillbilly Catholic High School accents.

Did the alleged Perps say it unison or did just one of them allegedly say it.

If the Chicago Police Department can't verify the attack, Jussie Smollett not only will be under investigation by the police, but FOX may drop him like a hot potato from Empire in no time flat.

unless he was waving a rainbow flag, how did they know he was a gay?

I wonder what the temperature and wind chill were while this guy was casually wandering around the streets of Chicago at 2 AM on Tuesday?

The details of the case make me doubt it is real.
Black guy assaulted by two whites? Usually it is the inverse, but possible.
AND they carried a noose ... not likely
AND they carried bleach ... unlikely in its own right, doubly unlikely ...
AND they’ve seen Empire ... unlikely but not impossible
AND they recognize the guy while assaulting him ... you’re making this up, using the attack to aid both your activist career and acting career

A domestic dispute also explains why he is outside at 2:00 am. The guy that hit him is still in his house.

“And what will cops do when this is outed as a hoax?”

The Chicago Police Department will be deemed racist by the TDS crazies. Stupid celebrities and the media will push that narrative despite the lack of evidence.

I find it hard to believe this story. It sounds like a really bad script put forth by a really bad actor who just happens to hate Trump and wants to be a hero to the left.

It was 3 degrees at 2 am on Tuesday. The wind chill made it feel like -15 or so. Plus it snowed quite a bit. And in that neighborhood, River North area, almost no fast food joints are open at 2 am.

Most of the bars are closed or closing by then, too.

And this jamoke wants us to believe that there just happened to be two white guys wearing MAGA hats carrying a noose and a gallon of bleach waiting to pounce.

Nope. Not buying it.

There ya go!

Let me rephrase it;

I don’t always go out to assault unknown Hollywood actors but when I do, I always wear a MAGA hat and take my noose and bleach with me!

This has to be real, because whenever I have a noose forcibly put around my neck, I keep it on for at least 45 minutes after the fact.

Rofl... I heard that report today - that he kept the "noose" on while cops were interviewing him. So much WTF.

Sounds like a Grindr hookup gone bad. Here’s a word of advice: Don’t meet up with strange men in a strange city for sex.
