Chicago Police hint Jussie Smollett's story a hoax

The Jussie Smollett story seems to be quietly dying, but it shouldn't. New updates by Chicago police are giving way to the claims that Smollett's story has been a hoax all along.

Police had asked to see Smollett's phone or his phone records immediately to verify his and his manager's account that they were on the phone with each other at the time of the attack. Smollett refused, saying he could not be without his phone for the length of time it would take for investigators to download his call log. Two weeks afterwards, on Tuesday, Smollett finally offered police a PDF file of his call log, which was heavily redacted. Police refused to use it as evidence, saying the computer file could easily have been edited and they need the information to come directly from the carrier instead. Jussie Smollett has still not complied with their request.

The most compelling development is the video surveillance of Smollett's steps that evening. Police have gathered and raked through hundreds of hours of footage and narrowed down that the attack supposedly happened in a 60-second time frame that happened to be off all cameras. No other persons are seen entering or leaving the same frames in that period of time. The "persons of interest" police have asked the public to help identify are seen sitting on a bench across the street at the time the assault is claimed to have happened.

Hope they come right out and announce it to be a hoax and stick it right up Robin Roberts a—.

And yet your screen name is ALL CAPS?

“”WE have grammar conventions”” - maybe where you come from but I don’t believe it’s a high priority for the rest of us here in the USA!

The grammar conventions allow for a few words in all-caps —e.g. headlines. I make an exception for Freerepublic, where most posters have something useful or interesting to say; but, on most sites, I just skip over comments displaying “creative” grammar. They are almost never worth the extra effort to decipher.

If you’re writing to a few friends, almost anything goes. When you’re posting to (potentially) thousands; you need to be more considerate of your readers.

Sigh it's not a high priority for the rest of the US - and that's why 99% of articles, written by a 'professional' journalist, and proofread by a 'professional' editor, still have grammatical and spelling errors. Stupid autocorrects and typos are one thing (only somewhat acceptable-ish in texts or internet postings), but bad grammar and spelling is a big reason/consequence of why society in general is going to the shitter. Poor writing isn't something to be proud of, it's something to sigh sadly at and then likely ignore whatever that person said, because if you aren't smart enough to write/speak properly, you're probably not smart enough to be worth listening to.
