Jussie Smollett Brothers Caught On Camera Buying Masks, Gloves for 'Attack'
TMZ ^ | 2/20/2019 1:55 PM PST | Staff

Posted on 02/20/2019 2:16:38 PM PST by Red Badger

The brothers who say Jussie Smollett hired them to stage the alleged attack were caught on surveillance camera buying a bunch of items they used during the incident.

The video -- first posted by CBS2 in Chicago -- shows Ola and Abel Osundairo at the checkout counter as they pile up the items, which include ski masks, gloves, bandanas, sunglasses and red hats.

EXCLUSIVE:

I tracked down surveillance of the Osundairo's buying supplies before "attack"

Sources say Jussie Smollet told brothers what to buy.

Countless phone calls placed for this.

At one point Abel pulls his hoodie over his head, perhaps attempting to hide his face, but he'd already been seen clearly on the video.

CBS2 says the brothers bought these items the day before the "attack" on Jussie.

The items are interesting ... we know Jussie said his attackers were wearing ski masks, and we also know police seized red hats when they raided the brothers' home in Chicago. The surveillance image police had released last month appears to show Abel and Ola with their faces still concealed under the ski masks.

As we first reported, the brothers were at court Tuesday, ready to testify for the grand jury -- but were called off at the last minute because Jussie's attorneys are going to speak to police.

We're told they will go before the grand jury when it finally convenes.

He'll beat the State rap and get off with a good talking to and a small fine.

He's also going to federal prison, on federal charges, for the fake anthrax attack.

One would find it ironic if it turns out to be the federal pen out about 40 miles west of Oklahoma City... what he would consider MAGA country, AKA "White Hillbilly" country. (Misnomer alert: No hills west of Oklahoma City, but don't tell Jussie that.)

As I understand it, the caps weren’t truly MAGA - just meant to look like one on grainy security video. Just like the guys in ski masks weren’t supposed to be African American.

Fake noose.

They probably planned to glue magazine letters on the hat spelling MAGA

Those red hats are going to be Smollett's Bruno Magli's.

Those two are the blackest white dudes I’ve ever seen.

No problem. They were self-identifying as whites that day.

if they were buying the gear the day before the attack, wouldn’t it suggest Jussie concocted the hoax while in NY that day? and shouldn’t Zachary Quinto have gone public with his suspicions about the attack being similar to the plot instead of defending Smollett?

18 Feb: Daily Caller: Report Says Smollett Auditioned For Play With Plot Nearly Identical To Alleged ‘Attack’
by William Davis
•In the play, the lead character is called a ‘f****t’ and ‘n****r’ by his teammates, slurs that Smollett later said were screamed by his alleged attackers
•He went from the reading to the airport so he could return to Chicago to film the final episodes of the fourth season of Empire, but his flight was delayed
•Sources tell DailyMail.com that investigators believe that Smollett then used Instagram to alert his alleged attackers as to his location via stories he posted
•His last story that night was posted when he landed in Chicago, and soon after he went out in 10 degree weather to get a sandwich at 2am from Subway

The day before “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett was allegedly attacked in a homophobic, racist hate crime, he apparently auditioned for a play with a nearly identical plot, according to a report (LINK) from The Daily Mail.

The report states that Smollett had been in New York City auditioning for a role in a reboot of the 2003 Tony Award-winning play “Take Me Out,” a story about a gay, biracial baseball player victimized by racism and homophobia...

Two readings were done by the actors in attendance, which included Zachary Quinto, on the morning and afternoon of January 28.
Quinto would later speak out about the attack on Smollett, saying: ‘I was absolutely enraged by the injustice and the senselessness of such violence. but i was also vividly reminded that we MUST continue our fight for equality and acceptance at every turn in this country and in this world”...

If he’s not indicted, arrested and prosecuted then the nation will see the corruption in bold beautiful color on their 65 inch HDTVs...........................

If he's not convicted, the TV only needs to be black and white.

Hmmm... funny that the stupid, overpaid MSM reporters couldn’t be bothered doing this kind of work.

This is the tragedy of our age. That the “free press” has become a Goebbels Propaganda Unit.

What could be worse than that in a free society?

Well, many things, I guess... loss of the Bill of Rights... many other things... still, this is pretty f*ing bad.

It Is Not a Closet. It Is a Cage.

I think your answer is in POST #67. Jussie was 'competing' for a part in a new play.

Hate to break it to you, but the nation has been watching the corruption for a long, long time, since the days of B/W tube TVs.

Ho hum. Too bad it was a hoax, eh, Zachary?

Shillman Fellow Daniel Greenfield explains why lefties fell for the Smollett hoax:
“The left is a 'victimhood' cult. Lefties feed off pain, and 'fetishizes' suffering as a commodity .....in exchange for political power.”

==================================

Moreover, feasting on racism, bigotry, homophobia, makes the left "feel good" about themselves.

Particularly in Hollywood's environs where self-hatred is huge......due to the repeated acts of self-immolation
they are compelled to engage in, to compete for a good part.

GET YOUR INDUSTRIAL STRENGTH BARF BAG READY-—YOU’RE GONNA NEED IT

Hoaxer Smollett came out as gay during a televised interview with Ellen DeGeneres in March 2015.

In a 2016 interview with Out magazine, Smollett clarified his sexual orientation by stating “If I had to label myself, I would label myself as a gay man.” However, he stated his belief that openness to love is more important than gender, revealing that “If I fall in love down the road with a woman, I’m going to love that woman.”

As a boy, Smollett had some romantic interest in girls. When Smollett’s gay character Jamal Lyon from Empire engaged in a tryst with a female character, Smollett defended the plot development by stating that he and Empire creator Lee Daniels were trying to create a conversation about sexual fluidity in the gay community.

Daniels has stated that “Jussie and I both share the same feeling that, yes, even though we are gay, we’re sexual human beings. And we do occasionally want to sleep with a woman.” Daniels stated that “We’re showing life on Empire”, in that both he and Smollett were incorporating their own sexual fluidity as gay men into Empire.

This crap that Smollett pulled is what starts race wars and gives “protesters” the go ahead to demolish Walmarts and other local businesses. Twenty years in the Iron Bar Hotel sounds just about right to me. Local businesses should also bring lawsuits against the idiot for endangering their businesses.
