Jussie Smollett appears to have picked the wrong location for his "hate crime" to be caught on video, if we compare his Good Morning America interview to the latest reports about the two Nigerian men who say the actor-singer paid them to stage an assault.
*************
The most important dot to connect to all of the above, though, comes from Smollett himself, who told Good Morning America (GMA) last week that he suspected a surveillance camera caught the whole incident.
Speaking to GMA's Robin Roberts, Smollett said, "And I looked up and I saw there was a camera directly on the light post that is in the intersection. So I'm like, 'there it is!'... And then the detective told me that the camera inside of the casing was facing north, so they didn't have it, and that was disappointing."
That detail appears to stick in his craw. Later in the interview, unprompted, he brings it up again: "The camera facing north, how is that my issue?"
If these brothers are telling the truth that the attack was pre-planned, Smollett may have arranged for it to take place in a location where he assumed it would be recorded.
And one can imagine, had there been surveillance footage of the attack, the investigation would have proceeded very, very differently.
Once police had the footage, it would leak. Once cable and network news had the footage, it would loop endlessly. The fact that the two brothers are black wouldn't matter. CBS Chicago reports that a black face mask was found in their apartment. Smollett told police the attackers wore face masks. With those face masks, the organized left (the media, Democrats, celebrities) were allowed to assume his racist attackers were white.

He made up this story to boost his career. I want to know why he hasn’t been arrested! Oops! forgot! black and gay. That’s why. There is no justice in this country, but there is black privilege and gay privilege.
some body in the PD made the call to send out 25 people.
“An actor thats too stupid to get the right camera angle, thats rich.”
LOL, hadn’t thought about that. He’s used to knowing when the camera is pointed at him. You can’t tell that about security cameras when they are in the dark plastic bubble.
He failed at his directorial debut, too. “Stand by. Quiet on the set. Take One. ACTION!” Heh, heh...oops, camera pointed the wrong way.
He was so wicked on so many levels.
One of which is any black man who really is the victim of any racist attack is less and less believed. I known I believe these claims much less now. Although I am sure it still happens.
And I know white people are being targeted for being white as well.
. Just like women with their crap rape charges make it much harder for real rape victims. There are real rape victims who are absolutely ruined by their attackers. And they are revictimized by the phony rape allegations of others.
And of course he has just further polarized people which is so nasty.
Word around the campfire is that Jussie-Jackass was being written out of his TV show and had no prospects. So what do you do? Pull a Kapernick so that it’s a hate-crime if your entertainment-industry gig fires you, regardless how bad you suck. This guy is a Class A moron, even by Hollywood standards.
Ping!
That would be ‘Fry Mumia’.
All this time I was thinking there was an unplanned attack first, and then a story made up after the fact so that he could deflect from the guy who attacked him and point the blame somewhere else. This is looking so premeditated now, he definitely needs to see jail time for a premeditated hoax.
The following tweet is an example of what Smollett has been tweeting about Trump nonstop for years now:Shut the hell up you bitch ass nigga. You will continue to run this country further into the ground and risk lives every time you breathe. Youre not the president. Just a dumpster full of hate. FOH. [acronym for (Get the) fuck outta here.] Sick to my stomach that literal shit currently represents America to the world.
Dont ask, dont tell, is my philosophy.
I have that t-shirt.
It would have been great if we had surveillance video of mean old Jussie fightin off those Nigerian monsters! Only Hollywood could have done better!
It wouldn't have changed the police investigation, as this "crime" was set up in a very amateurish way.
Surveillance cameras, phone records, and bank records solved this case pretty quick. Remember, the police were already waiting for the brothers at the airport. This was solved weeks ago.
Maybe they could re-enact it.
It federalizes all crimes against any protected class.
I’m still trying to understand why a Subway would be open at 2 am in sub-zero weather.
I really hope that his acting gig is over and he has to get a real job, it would be the best life-lesson for him.
Time will tell but the cops might just be getting their ducks in a row to charge him. Two weeks ago, I would’ve bet anything that WHEN this gets proven to be a scam, he’ll get the standard “he still did good because he raised awareness” pass from the media and the cops would be more than happy to let this PR nightmare go away. But after the crap that has been slung my Hollywood and member of Congress, not to mention how much time they’ve had to waste on the this garbage case, it looks like they want to send a message to not pull this kind of fake crap in their town. I hope so, this jerk loser is just begging to be made an example of.
