"Mark Geragos has LOST every high profile case he has defended, perhaps Smollett should find a different attorney!!!s
Nothing's definitive but rumour has it Geragos(all white) team for Kaepernick won big 80 million in his suite against the NFL for "discrimination"

Empire star Jussie Smollett might as well save some big money and publicly apologize to Chicagoans for allegedly orchestrating a hoax that squandered the citys resources.
While hes at it, he should also apologize to the real victims of hate crimes, and to Trump supporters for depicting them as racists and homophobes.

I was thinking his character should be lynched in a faked racist attack gone wrong...

Why are they even requesting extra security? Are they implying they are getting death threats from “Trump supporters” or something?
To: Thank You Rush
Yes, IIRC, he was and yes, Geragos IS an “ambulance” and fame chaser.
To: RedMonqey
What? A black attorney not good enough for you either, Mr Smollett? There's a scene in Bonfire Of The Vanities (the book, not the movie) where an African-American guy is in jail, and asks for a public defender. Some time later, a young African-American lawyer shows up, tells him he's there to represent him.
The defendant takes one look at him and says "I want a Jew."

"They arent,Fox is."
You'd think that Fox would have their own private security, instead of having to tap the local PD's.

There always is security when T.V. shows and movies film in Chicago and NYC and I suspect everywhere else such things are filmed.
It also completely disrupts places where they do this, which is WHY most filming is usually done late at night or very early in the morning; though there have been many examples of when that was not done as well.
When the movie THE BLUES BROTHERS was filmed in and around Chicago, it was done as I stated above.
When FERRIS BUELLER'S DAY OFF was filmed in Chicago, the night scene with the car going into Lake Michigan, that was done VERY late at night at a Yacht Club off Lake Shore Drive on the North side.
To: mass55th
They mentioned traffic control——I think public streets may be involved,but this type of thing is done all of the time.

(Snicker, snicker) Yep!
I've heard that if you need a lawyer, there's nobody better than a Jew. He knows where to stick the knife in and TURN it.
Probably racist... sexist... homophobic... to say this but I don't care anymore. I just don't care.

Nope...local police are ALWAYS present when a movie or a T.V. series if filmed in Chicago and NYC, as well.
To: nopardons
From the article:
“And they also volunteered to pay the security costs from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. that day.

Exactly right. Something the Fox network would do.
Maybe Fox was involved in this hoax from the get go.
To: nopardons

Perhaps you're thinking of Risky Business., in which a Porsche 928 turns into a U-Boat.
