quote:

Ex-Superintendent Eddie Johnson told NewsNationNow's "Morning in America" that Smollett left his home around 2 a.m. on the day he claimed to be attacked to buy the sandwich.

"OK, that’s fine," Johnson said, adding that morning was one of the coldest in Chicago that year and hardly anyone was on the street. "He comes back and gets attacked in a hate crime, supposed hate crime, and during all this scuffle – they poured bleach on him and all of this – when he got up and went into his apartment building he still had that Subway sandwich with him. That doesn’t happen."


quote:

"This guy had the sandwich in his hand, never been touched. So that was a real tip and a clue to us that something was amiss."


quote:

Johnson added that Smollett was suspiciously "nonchalant" about removing a noose the supposed attackers had placed around his neck once he got back to his apartment, the video showed, which he said also gave him pause.


quote:

"I don’t think there are many Black people in America that would have a noose around their neck, and wouldn’t immediately take it off," Johnson, who is Black, told the Chicago station.

The key should be that there is about a 0% chance racist Trump voters are out at 2 AM in 0 degree weather looking to mess with a black dude

First time a Subway sandwich has ever been good for something.

Include the fact that there is about a 0% chance that a racist Trump supporter would even know who Juicy is or had even heard of the show Empire.

Eating Subway does show questionable decision making skills.

If he had ribs, there would be no question that he held onto them.

I remember when the story first came out and he said his attackers said something like “This is Maga country”

I knew right then and there it was all fake. Nobody would say that shite.

Leftist black people truly think white peoples give a rats arse about their skin color. They’d be sorely disappointed if they could ever understand how little white people care about their melanin.

The 2am-going-to-get-a-sandwich part never bothered me. I work nights, and even on my off days, I sort of remain on a night schedule and find myself up at 2 am hungry. I can see a celebrity with crazy sleep schedules also being up at that time hungry.

However, I'd like to know when Subway started staying open until 2am. All those bitches close around 9pm in the Greater New Orleans area. A 2am quick-bite option would come in handy for me.

When was the last time you heard of two racist fricks with bad intentions chase down a black dude to do something to him … when the guy wasn’t doing something they thought was suspicious?

We don’t live in the country they say we do.

I’m glad that tipped him off and Smollett was clearly lying.

But … couldn’t be have dropped the sandwich during the attack and after picking himself up, grabbed the sandwich to bring it home? People in shock do all kinds of things.

It just seems weird that that is what tipped them off. Smollet could have just claimed to be in shock.

I’m glad Smollett got caught lying. What he did was terrible. I’m just surprised THAT was the clue.
