re: Jussie Smollett Case - All Charges Dropped - Update

This dude's story is so fake. I don't even know who he is, but what are the odds that the alleged racist attackers would watch Empire and even know this guy? And if the dudes would have been crazy enough to attack him and put a noose around his neck, I seriously doubt they would let him even live.

Let me be clear, I think this story stinks. It would not shock me if the manager made up the story of being on the phone with Smollett during the alleged attack to help his client.

Theory 1: he was talking to his manager holding his phone.

How did he not drop his phone or the sandwich?

Now you're bringing in the sandwich... I'm merely speaking of the phone not having to be in his hand for it to be possible to use it. Has it even been confirmed that he did indeed have a sandwich? I saw it mentioned that he had his Subway bag or something.

So, if his phone is secure in a pockect, does that mean it's okay for him to have managed to hold onto or recover the Subway bag?

Personally, I think his having stuff from Subway doesn't exactly help his story of a vicious beating.

Theory 2: maybe he didn’t lose his phone because he had AirPods in.

If he had AirPods in how did his manager hear someone with a ski mask on say “this is MAGA country”?

Firstly, you're still making the assumption that the only hands-free tech he would be using are these AirPods. I will grant that this is all a big IF scenario to show that it is possible to use a phone while it's still in a pocket, but you're limiting the possibilities to support your argument and call me names. As far as we know, it's just as likely that he uses something with a wire or one of those watch things.

Or...he might be one of those assholes that walks around talking with his phone on speaker. I've personally used a phone on speaker in a pocket whenever I've had to be hands free but didn't have other options.

Secondly, are you telling me that it's IMPOSSIBLE for a device with an open mic to pick up someone's, other than the intended user, voice? It's my understanding that these AirPods don't necessarily use noise cancelling software, like you stated earlier. (Though, I could be completely wrong with my assumption that it's hardware.) It's a physical/engineered type of technology dealing with multiple microphones in different locations on the earpiece. There's no way that technology is 100% effective. If it were, Apple wouldn't be touting noise cancelling as a prime feature for the next iteration of AirPod, which will be released this year. (Granted, this reads more like external sound noise cancellation rather than over the mic noise cancellation. So, that's probably a bad argument from me. Though, the system will still use those variously placed microphones to work...so maybe it does help in that it shows the tech isn't 100% effective as it stands.)

I'm not talking probable...I'm talking possible.

And that’s before you consider how in the hell they actually stayed in his ears.

It was cold. Perhaps they could have been tucked in under a hat.

I’m not saying any of this is a smoking gun.

So we agree that his having his phone on him isn't the thing that makes this story a lie? Why the hell have you been arguing with me then? And not only arguing, but responding to one of my posts twice with the same/similar arguments.

you aren’t a very bright one

I'm surprised no one is discussing the police report, to be honest.

New generation AirPods will have noise cancelling for the person with the AirPods in their ears so that they don’t hear surrounding noise.

AirPods and iPhones have always had noise cancelling technology so the person on the other side of the phone doesn’t get a bunch of feedback. This isn’t hard to understand. If you don’t believe me go try it yourself.

Not to mention the fact that he said the perp had a full ski mask on further reducing and distorting sound waves.

But then again he could just turn over his phone records to show he was on the phone when he says.

Why are you reaching so hard?

So anything on the letter he got a week or so prior?

Bogus set-up for this "beat-down" event?

can ya'll trade emails or something? Not sure why you are even arguing about airpods in the first place

tldr

His manager didn’t hear shite on the phone. This story and your “possibilities” are a joke.

Insurance investigators are not the police. When your story starts waffling, or you refuse to cooperate, they will make sure you don't get paid, then dig until they have enough to imprison you for insurance fraud.
