3:30 PM PT -- Police raided the home of the 2 men who cops picked up at the O'Hare Airport Wednesday night ... this according to WBBM TV reporter Charlie De Mar, who says he spoke to the family of the 2 men. Both men are Nigerian and were extras on "Empire." Based on what the cops have already said, it appears these are the same men who were captured on the surveillance video.
According to the report, police seized 5 bottles of bleach, a red hat, 2 laptops and other items.
The family said the 2 men left for Nigeria the day of the alleged attack. This is consistent with what law enforcement sources previously told TMZ ... that the men left for Nigeria and returned Wednesday night, and the police tracked their travels and were waiting for them when they landed in Chicago.
By the way ... when we broke the story about the various details of the alleged attack, our Jussie sources said the actor identified the 2 men as white. We do not know the skin color of the 2 men from Nigeria.
Important to note ... the red hat may be a red herring, because Jussie never said the men were wearing MAGA hats ... rather, he says they screamed "MAGA country."
2:50 PM PT -- Chicago PD has confirmed ... the 2 men taken in for questioning are the same men in the surveillance video screen grab. The PD confirms transportation records, along with interviews with Jussie and other witnesses, led to the ID of the 2 men.
They appear to be strapping lads. I wonder why Jussie liked them?
Dirty Harry movie. Did you see the first one?................
OH yeah, I remember reading that it was confirmed to have been bleach that was used in the ass-ault. But not the freezes at 19 degree kind. Oh, maybe I didn’t see that any place. Juicy ‘the liar’ small-effete.
Yep. Planted, after the fact, when the narrative was falling apart.
More evidence tampering and obstruction charges..................
I hope the police never raid my laundry room.
“We do not know the skin color of the 2 men from Nigeria.”
.....
please, i have rope and bleach too.
Do you live in Chicago? Are you a friend of Jussie?...................
Yes, but it was at least twenty years ago.
Is TMZ now The Onion?
Do you remember the plot?
The serial killer hired a thug to beat him up so he cold claim Harry did it...................
They may now be The NYT West......................
No, I didn’t remember the plot. But anyway, Mr. Smollett wasn’t actually beaten up: he had barely a mark on him. Maybe he imagined that the little scrape on his face was a believable result of a beating by two large, “hate-filled” men.
haha. i still think it was a grindr date gone bad and he lied to cover his butt w/ a boyfriend.
and they did not even hit him hard enough!
Says red hat, not MAGA hat.
The original story, when this little faggot first started his hoax, involved a MAGA hat ...
Maybe they own a pool? I often have that much bleach in my shed during pool season.
Just so happen I have 10 gallons at my house. Prepper here
