Police sources: New evidence suggests Jussie Smollett orchestrated attack
CNN ^ | February 16, 2019 | Ryan Young and Brad Parks

(VIDEO AT SOURCE)

Chicago (CNN)Two law enforcement sources with knowledge of the investigation told CNN that Chicago Police believe Jussie Smollett paid two men to orchestrate the assault.

The brothers, who were arrested Wednesday, were released without charges Friday after Chicago police cited the discovery of "new evidence." The sources told CNN that the two men are now cooperating fully with law enforcement.

Smollett told authorities he was attacked early January 29 by two men who were "yelling out racial and homophobic slurs." He said one attacker put a rope around his neck and poured an unknown chemical substance on him.

....

"It feels like if I had said it was a Muslim or a Mexican or someone black I feel like the doubters would have supported me a lot much more," Smollett said. "And that says a lot about the place where we are as a country right now."

I like it when gif's don't jerk at the end to start over.

I liked this one so much, I decided to morph it to appear rather seamless.

Anyone is free to use it if they like it.

"As one writer said earlier this week, the demand for racism and homophobia in this country greatly exceeds the supply."

Yep, nobody was faking hate crimes in Nazi Germany, and millions of "people of color" weren't trying to sneak in.

faking a crime, making a false report, lying to the police or in court, withholding evidence, including by cops, DAs and judges, should have 1 penalty. You do the sentence the accused would have done if convicted up to an including the death penalty.

If you can’t get CNN to lie for you, you’re under the bus.

For a lying lib, getting thrown overboard by CNN is equivalent to a jury conviction. You know it's gotta be true.

Still, while CNN is ditching this pervert, it will still never acknowledge its complicity at the beginning. And will NEVER issue a correction or apology for its bias.

In my view, faking a hate crime IS a hate crime because it is intended to generate hate towards the presumed perpetrators of the fake crime, in this case, Trump supporters.

Good points. It seems, from Mr. Smollett’s twitter commentary and other public statements, that he was trying as hard as he could to get conservative or pro-Trump persons interested in hating him ... and it didn’t work. Regardless of any feelings anyone might have about black people, homosexuals, or just this particularly guy who happens to be both, nobody could be bothered.

If nobody but yourself is willing to “victimize” you, do you even exist?

Doesn’t look like Harris and Booker can point to Smollett as picture perfect icon for the passage of their Anti Lynching Legislation two days ago.

Sheila Jackson Lee: the only thing that could make Jussie more beautiful is four feet of fake braids circled atop his head.

Kamala Harris and Cory Booker can’t use Smollett as their icon for passage of their sponsored Federal Anti Lynching Legislation. Wonder if they’ll mention it as a Senatorial Accomplishment now?
