“Empire” actor Jussie Smollett told Chicago police last month that two men attacked him near his apartment building in Streeterville, slipping a noose around his neck and yelling racial and homophobic slurs. More than three weeks later, authorities said they now believe Smollett was lying and charged him with disorderly conduct, alleging he filed a false police report.
Here are some key moments in the unfolding saga: Jan. 22
— The week before he says he was attacked in Streeterville, Smollett reported receiving an envelope addressed to him at production studios on Chicago’s West Side. The envelope was postmarked in southwest suburban Bedford Park four days earlier, on Jan. 18. The letters “MAGA” were written, in red ink, in the return address section of the envelope. Smollett told police he and the show’s executive producer used gloves to open the envelope. Inside was a threat in cut-out letters: “You will die black (expletive).” There was white powder in the envelope, but it was determined to be crushed acetaminophen — a pain reliever in Tylenol — according to police. Jan. 29
— Smollett reports he was attacked by two men while out getting food from a Subway sandwich shop around 2 a.m. The actor, black and openly gay, said he was walking back to his apartment in the 300 block of East North Water Street when two men walked up, yelled racial and homophobic slurs, declared “This is MAGA country,” hit him and wrapped a noose around his neck.

Before I read this a prediction: no mention of the Kamala anti-lynching law in the “timeline”.

Timeline:
Trump was elected.
Republicans want to put blacks back in chains.
Etc.
Nope, although her name is mentioned as one of those who jumped at the opportunity to condemn the attack, on Jan. 30. The attack happened in the early morning hours of Tuesday, January 29th.
Others early condemners mentioned are congressman Bobby Rush of Chicago and "openly gay TV host Ellen DeGeneres."
Waiting for more news on reparations for poor Jussie
Jussie can rest easy now that his attacker is behind bars.
(I stole that one fair and square)
Just a coincidence they happened at the same time... /sarc
My tagline
The fact that no one from the show made any comments sent up the red flares for me. I hear now even some of his appearances on the show have been reduced and even cut...
Am I mis remembering, or didn’t he sit down with the police to do a suspect sketch? I thought there were pictures published of those sketches and they were white men. Once things started to turn against him, I never saw or heard of them anymore? Was this the case, or am I suffering from the Mandela effect?
Nope!....................
Based on all the grief that our duly elected president has to endure one wonders who actually won in 2016. Why is Hillary still free and living high on the hog?
America has become a very unjust country.
shouldn’t it have started with the letter ?
or an earlier meeting with his “aunt” ?
