Default Empire star Jussie Smollett hospitalised after a racist & homophobic attack.

He was approached by two men who beat him up, tied a noose around his neck and doused him in an unknown chemical. All while yelling out racist and homophobic slurs at him.

The thread title should have "USA" at front as this is a USA person on USA tv and will not be familiar to forum members

America must be a terrifying place to live if you have any sort of difference these days, hopefully they catch the scumbags that did it.

No video evidence. No description of the accused for police to go on. Just his word so far.

If it were a white man claiming the same had happened to him at the hands of black men would you simply trust his word?

Both links say there is no evidence, other than his claims. Not saying it isn't true... it may well be., But two links to the same news story is not evidence.

I mean the police say there’s no evidence but we have to realise that this is America we’re talking about. The police will just about hide anything in favour of a white person over a gay black man. I doubt Jussie would lie about something like this

We need better evidence than your conspiracy theories about America, and your trust in a person you only know from the television.

Firstly, your faith in him is sweet, but you don't know him from Adam.

And yes, I do realise it's America. And the police say there is no evidence. And yes, I agree there are probably a minority of rogue cops who are racist. But you can't condemn the whole country because you've read about some racist cops online. Evidence is evidence. And there is none.
