Politicians use Jussie Smollett, while a 1-year-old boy shot in the head is set aside (Chicago)
Chicago Tribune ^ | 2/20/2019 | John Kass

omething important has been lost in the embarrassing saga of Jussie Smollett, the tuna fish sandwich-loving actor and anti-Trump activist, and those muscular Nigerian brothers.

And I suppose it’s easy to lose what’s important with all the panic and intersectional hatred and liberal identity politics gone bad in this Smollett story.

What’s been lost is this:

I’m told that two dozen detectives were assigned to the Smollett case.

Can Chicago afford that, what with all the unsolved murders and shootings in this town?

No.

There were some 18 people killed in Chicago after Smollett began telling his story in late January, that story in which he cast himself as the hero, about having to fight off pro-Trump racists.

Now it turns out that the pro-Trump racists, who he says put a noose around his neck, may actually be his friends, two muscular Nigerian brothers who may or may not have been paid in this deal.

Either way, his story is he fought them off. Even though he had a cellphone in one hand, a tuna sandwich in the other.

Smollett must be a certified badass. His sandwich survived.

But two dozen detectives assigned to check out his story that he was a victim of a politically inspired pro-Trump hate crime, a story that is unraveling by the second?

Even in Chicago, a city known for its unending violence and political corruption, assigning two dozen detectives seems a bit overdone.

I could go with a lower number — say 20 detectives — given to me by someone who knows.

But that’s still high given all the homicides that are never solved.

Chicago has an abysmal homicide clearance rate of about 17 percent. Chicago’s detective ranks have been decimated by attrition and idiotic shortsighted political management. There aren’t enough detectives. That’s

I saw Dr. Wilfred Reilly on Tucker Carlson last night and ordered his new book, “Hate Crime Hoax,” this a.m. which will be released on Feb. 26. Dr. Reilly is Assistant Professor of Political Sciences College of Public Service and Leadership Studies at Kentucky State College in Frankfort, KY. He is African American and is a wealth of information on Hate Crime Hoax's. We need to hear from people like him who understand what the left is trying to do to our nation and it's sovereignty. America is in desperate need of comprehending how the super rich are trying to victimize themselves while they rob the weak in America in their quest to own all the money, all the property and all the bodies in this nation through the use of force (socialism). They want their task to be like taking candy from a baby and, unfortunately, the ignorance which abounds in this population of the price paid for American freedom, what it is through the justice of our Constitution, and what would replace it, through the fake promise that the government is Santa Claus, had better be realized and fast. Once we become Venezuela and having to dine on our pets, there will be no turning back.

“Why would a witness cooperate if the prosecutors won’t prosecute?”

Snitches get stitches.

Oh sure, who doesn’t get a mad urge for a tuna fish sandwich in the middle of the night.
