I had no opinion on the possibility this was real or a hoax until the Chicago police stated they cannot find video evidence in hundreds of hours of video.
You figure they’d know WHERE to look, geographically, because Smollett would have told them.... and WHEN to look, timewise.
They cannot find it? Either a blind spot or it’s a hoax.
Even if the attack were not caught, there should be video of him on the street...
The entire allegation sounds like something some screenwriter cooked up... because the idea that just 2 random folks in ski masks just happened to have a rope and some bleach and just decided to start shouting epitaphs at someone at 2AM and then beat them up etc just doesn’t add up, and then shout Trump Slogans after?
That sounds like what left wing nutters think that people act like.. not how people actually act.
It is possible the attack did happen, and they were left wing red flags trying to look like they were right wingers... but if that had been the case they would have been damn sure it was all on camera.
This thing doesn’t pass the smell test, never did... odds are its another Tawana Brawley...
BUT< since it fits the desired left wing narrative, we’ll make sure its on every front page, even though it doesn’t seem very credible...
Clearly the guy got beat up somehow, but the odds his beating went down like he claims, sure seems very low probability.
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.
