It's not just "we'll wait and see", is it, if you're actively making it clear that you think it didn't happen. I'm afraid I have to agree that the motivations of several people here seem a bit sinister. If you think there's room for doubt, fair enough say so and then wait for the story to actually unfold... don't say "we should wait for the facts" and then vomit out a load of theories about it being a lie :umm2:.
It's very telling.

can the member please correct it as it is factually incorrect?

No video of attack and i am sourcing the BBC here "No arrests have been made, and police have not found surveillance video of the attack, though they found footage of Jussie walking home with the rope around his neck." bbc WEBSITE
They don't care that the thread title is wrong, the truth is not important to them, in fact, truth and reality is an insult to them, it hurts their feelings.

Self awareness is an important thing to possess, Alf.

You can't accuse anyone of denying the truth or reality when you've spent the entire thread denying what's in front of you in favour of conspiracy theories in your mind.

members seem to expect some form of consistency from posters or that makes them invalid? Reality check, no-one needs to be consistent. Also, really, even if i don't agree with someones viewpoint, they are perfectly entitled to express an opinion without being personally attacked.

Ahhh, they must have access to the full police reports, medical reports and evidence found already then and have come to that conclusion after legal training or being a police office trained to get to the bottom of reported crimes. Silly me for not reading the comments and just posting an article

SherzyK 05-02-2019 12:37 PM
He must have beaten himself up surely! :oh:

The video is most beneficial for Jussie Smollett, that way it will prove him to be telling the truth and it will also give the police a better idea who they're looking for. What you do and don't like is not important here.

If this was the response on the Daily Mail site, then it can be taken as near enough concrete proof that we should, indeed, believe his story.

So it seems two men have been arrested.

Quote:
CHICAGO (WTHR/AP) — New developments in the investigation of an alleged attack on actor Jussie Smollett. TMZ reports police have arrested two men from Nigeria who had worked as extras on the "Empire" show that Smollett stars in.

According to TMZ, the brothers' home was raided on Thursday with police removing potential evidence.

The brothers were originally picked up by police on Wednesday night at an airport in Chicago, TMZ reports.

Chicago police said Thursday night that local media reports that the attack against "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett was a hoax are unconfirmed.

Producers of the television drama also disputed media reports that Smollett's character, Jamal Lyon, was being written off the show, calling the idea "patently ridiculous."

"(Smollett) remains a core player on this very successful series and we continue to stand behind him," 20th Century Fox Television and Fox Entertainment said in a statement late Thursday.

Smollett has said he was attacked while out getting food at a Subway restaurant.

The singer and actor said the attackers yelled "this is MAGA country," referencing President Donald Trump's "Make America Great Again" slogan.

Smollett said he didn't want to call police at first, but that his friend and creative director, Frank Gatson, called on his behalf. Smollett said he didn't remove a rope from around his neck before police arrived "because I wanted them to see."

He also said he didn't initially want to give police his cellphone because the device contained private content and phone numbers.

Smollett later gave detectives heavily redacted phone records that police have said are insufficient for a criminal investigation.
Well I'm eating my words, this really sounds like a non-orchestrated racist attack to me.

They were released without charge.

The alleged victim would have had a hard time explaining how he mistook two Nigerian bodybuilders for white "hillbillies" calling him a ****** and declaring Chicago to be "MAGA country."

SherzyK 16-02-2019 12:27 PM
I like how the only thing pinpointed was the MAGA chants and the race of the two attackers. You were skeptic the attack happened and there’s your proof.

Oliver_W 16-02-2019 12:37 PM
Jussie has reportedly since hired a defence lawyer, who represents "individuals and corporations in high profile federal criminal and regulatory cases"

I wonder what possible reason the "victim of a hate crime" would need such a lawyer for...

Police say the 2 men are the same ones who were captured on surveillance video around the time of the incident.

Jussie told Robin Roberts this week, he's positive the 2 men on the surveillance video are the same 2 men who attacked him.

Assuming this isn't mis-reporting, this sounds very much like the "attackers" were Smollett's Nigerian co-workers, with whom he had a friendly relationship (discussed health and fitness with them on-set, according to one report). It's getting very interesting now.

Just remember that I was branded "a bigot" for using critical thinking on this.

Yes Shocking

Crimson Dynamo 16-02-2019 03:07 PM
so the 2 Nigerians were released by police now

Smollett confirmed that they 2 on the vid were the 2 that attacked him

Police confirm that the 2 on the vid are the 2 Nigerians

SMollet said initially they were both white MAGA copped rednecks?

have I got that right?

Is “critical thinking” the new way of saying “ignoring the facts to suit your own viewpoint” :umm2:

The fact that the attack happened

Jussie Smollett is a lying, race-baiting arse. Nothing happened, he made it up.

Oliver_W 16-02-2019 04:04 PM
ANYWAY.

We still don't what really happened, if anything. I think the most likely event was some random hobo shoved him over in passing, and everything else was him embellishing.
