It didn’t happen. It is a manufactured event to paint the picture of Racist and/or Anti Gay Conservatives.

I don’t believe it for one second that this happened.

It’s so hard to believe, that these guys were out on a bitter cold night, with rope and bleach, on the off-chance they would encounter an actor they hate, so they could attack him.

They won’t find any video because this was done by secret, MAGA, Ninjas, who spend years perfecting their skills in a monastery in Nepal.

"They allegedly shouted, "This is MAGA country," along with other racist and anti-gay slurs."

Ok, this is the first suspicious thing that happened. He's in Chicago, no one in their right minds thinks Chicago is MAGA country...

Chicago police won't demand "Empire" star Jussie Smollett hand over his cellphone to detectives investigating the alleged assault on him by two men hurling racial and homophobic slurs, the department's superintendent said Friday.

"The allegations as reported to us are horrendous," Eddie T. Johnson told NBC Chicago.

Johnson said the department wouldn't require Smollett to hand over the cellphone, which police said Thursday he refused to do. Requests for comment made Thursday to Smollett's representatives were not returned.

"He’s a victim. We don’t treat him like a criminal," Johnson said, adding that the actor has "been very cooperative with us."

Sounds like the fix is in.

My understanding is that the “rope” was more like a cord or clothesline. Maybe he got tangled up in the blinds at Subway?

The only place this happened is in the sick and twisted mind of this blatant liar.

thanks to a fellow Freeper the 2 subways in the area were NOT open then. One closed at 11 and the other at 12.
If he was in a Subway there would be video.

If he was at the one that closed at 12 where was the guy from say 12:30 to the time of the alleged attack? Walking Around sub zero Chicago streets?

How idiotic is it to think dudes would be lurking on sub zero streets with bleach( which would have been frozen) and clothesline >

Why did he ask that the Police cams be turned off?

If he really was on the phone why refuse to let police look at the phone?
Why did his story change to include the MAGA claim
?
There is only 1 minute gap is the cameras coverage

But as has been mentioned truth will not come out, from the police in a Dem controlled city.

This guy has shot himself in the foot. His ignorance and hate has ended his career. He’s done.

If he had bleach poured on him as he said, should not his clothes or hair have white splotches in them from the bleach?

It sure can ruin a pair of jeans or a shirt real fast.

This actor should be charged with filing a false complaint.

With all of the video cameras around today the police were unable to find any evidence.

Something stinks here.

You can’t walk down the street in any major city without being observed on some video camera system.

The detectives must have timed how long it would take for a person to walk from the point he went off one camera to the point he was seen on the next camera. I’d love to see the results

I looked at Google Maps and all the Subways anywhere near his hotel all closed at midnight or earlier. There is one 24 hour subway in a gas station but it is a good walking distance away and the wrong direction from his hotel relative to where the “assault” occurred.

There is a Subway .14 miles from the given address and it is open 24 hours.

That’s when I called b.s. Chicago MAGA country! That was the only place Trump had to cancel his rally.
