Well, if he says this all took place in that area of Chicago, there should be some camera that caught something. He should be able to pinpoint an exact place and time you'd think. Look for cameras pointed at that area.

It seems that police probably already have these details and have found nothing...hmmmmm

Again, not even the FBI will do anything if it turns out to be a fake.

What he gains from this is pity and notoriety. He's going to get more money out of this from name recognition, airtime/facetime and may even become a spokesperson for certain groups/products/etc.

100% correct. Once its proven to be a hoax, it'll be brushed under the rug until someone wants to drag it out as an example of "racism in America".

Hell, look at Ferguson. The "hands up, don't shoot" mantra is still being shouted despite the fact that Obama's own DOJ completely disproved it by using the testimony of witnesses. But, here we are, pretending it's still true.

Like you said, no LEO org will pursue charges against him because no one wants to be crucified for rightly punishing a black guy for "starting a conversation"

So was he lying about his whereabouts when this took place? Let's get some cell phone pings and see where he really was.

Well that's pretty fricked up if true. Similar to the chick from north Louisiana a few years back that blamed the Klan for an attack on her house. People who make up situations like this don't help anyone whatsoever.

I feel bad for anyone believing this

quote:


When officers showed up at the apartment, the rope was still around Smollett’s neck, said Guglielmi, who described the rope as a “thin, light rope.” Guglielmi said the rope didn’t necessarily resemble a noose.

Smollett was not able to identify the race of either alleged assailant:

Smollett initially told police his attackers were two men wearing ski masks and all black clothing. In a follow-up interview in the morning, Smollett told detectives the men also yelled “this is MAGA country” after they attacked him, according to Guglielmi. Smollett didn’t provide any other description of the men, including their race.

And police don’t have enough information to put out a description of the attackers:

Police also haven’t found any video showing the attackers in the surrounding areas or any witnesses to the attack. Guglielmi said police didn’t have enough information as of Tuesday night to put out a description of the attackers.

It's usually either someone looking for attention, trying to cover up something, or both

Can someone explain this a little more. I haven't read about this story at all.

He called the police and left a rope on his neck?

Don't need to read through ten pages to know this is fake.

I completely agree. But it happens often. People lie about their run-ins with police... being racially profiled... attacked. And when it turns out not to be true, nothing happens. There are tons of examples of this.

Exactly. I agree with you that typically lying to the FBI is a huge deal. But we've seen law enforcement back off in situations like this choosing rather for the situation to blow away rather than take action and "go after" someone who already claims to be a victim. It's an optics decision apparently.

AOC and Maxine Waters are behind this all the way on Twitter. When proven false, they'll drop it like a hot skillet and will face NOTHING over it.

Meanwhile, he'll still be considered a victim and will be praised for bringing attention to an issue- even though he made it up.

When you get pantsed, you've got 2 options - pull up your pants or pull up your shirt

I have no doubt those two will pull up their shirts

Morals: White men killing a black girl is wrong and we should all be outraged. This is proof of Americas racism that we've been shouting for years.

Facts: Two black men killed a black girl... and now I don't feel like talking about it.
