Jussie Smollett attacked: Empire star assaulted in Chicago in suspected hate crime

Well, I think I'm smarter than you. I have expressed no opinions about this. Like Hank, I have no idea what's going on here. But some of you made up your minds early, and are now obsessed with proving you're right. I simply find that obsession interesting.
If(and it’s still a big if), the whole story is fabricated and these two didn’t actually assault anyone, there would be nothing to charge them with.
Smollett is the one making the claims.
How do you know anyone has made up their minds? Have I made up my mind?
Please let me know so I can properly calibrate my level of outrage.
Lots of info in here I hadn’t heard before including the letter that was mailed to him from MAGA.

I said this earlier and it seems to have disappeared, so I’ll say it again.
Between this thread and the Phillips thread, you look completely ridiculous. But I’m guessing you’re to much of a pompous ass to realize it.
I hate Trump because I hate what he has done to the country and the vile person that he is. I don’t hate his supporters. I do think they are stupid, rich and only care about getting richer, or racist. It’s the only reason I can think of for anyone to still stand behind this clown.
Oh he’s ruffled the feathers of a few hosts at CNN for sure but what’s he done to the country?
The most interesting item in that link was that one of the brothers owns a SINGLE SHARE of Berkshire Hathaway. How does that even happen?
Class A shares do. I doubt this dude had a Class A share worth $300K, since the article describes them as struggling and having student loans, and making less that $200.00 per month. I'm guessing it's a class B share with costs a couple of hundred bucks, give or take.
You must be thinking of someone else. I expressed skepticism in my very first post. I’ve thought the story was fishy all along.
Did he delete a few of his posts? I am sure he did, as I remember one specifically where he called someone an a$$, and my last post about him adding extra surliness to his daily righteous indignation also seems to be gone. That is hilarious!
I have no idea who did it, but someone removed my original post concerning goats ridiculous double standard between the Smollett case and the Philips incident.
Did somebody else come along and moderate a post that was part of chain of post/quotes? Dubya tee eff, there was nothing in there that came close to needing to be moderated. This isn't new, I have had this happen before where posts have disappeared
Well, Goat had a post where he called someone an a$$ and it seems to be gone, so I figured maybe he either had a change of heart and deleted it, or I suppose another with mod powers could do it. And I noticed your post was gone, as was my reply to one of your posts.
Most mods when they delete a post also delete replies. Probably our posts were deleted because we were responding to 1978.
I certainly don't regret calling him an ass.
I didn’t curse or threaten anyone. I just highlighted your hypocrisy, which I repeated not 30 minutes later. That post, to my knowledge, hasn’t been removed.
Very odd.
Also, being labeled an ass by you is a point of pride for me.
Dude, he’s a buffoon. I respected Bush, Obama, etc, regardless of disagreements with policy. There is absolutely nothing to respect about Donald Trump. He’s a horrible human being. And he contradicts himself via his own freaking tweets. He’s a moron.
Yep that’s it he’s ruffles feathers at CNN. Hate crimes up dramatically, deficient ballooning in record numbers, US has lost the respect of nearly all of its allies, LGBTQ and women are under attack, children are bullying others in Trump’s name, children see the example Trump sets and thinks it’s ok to act like that, children have been separated from their families and lost, he listens to no one and is concerned about nothing but himself, he has convinced his base not to believe anyone but him, even thought his documented lies are now nearing 9,000. I could continue. But it appears you enjoy being the type of person Ann Coulter is talking about. I guess you know more than his closest advisors, who call him a moron and an idiot with the intelligence of a kindergartner. Who would have thought a reality star who was known to be corrupt would have issues trying to be a leader?
Good for you. Its a non-event for me, but I'm glad it brings joy to someone. I like being a positive force in the world.I didn’t curse or threaten anyone. I just highlighted your hypocrisy, which I repeated not 30 minutes later. That post, to my knowledge, hasn’t been removed.
Very odd.

So are you denying it happening or is this an attempt at humor by a hate mongering Trumpster?
Well, a CNN news story just popped up on MSN.com's main page. .

From the article...
As I posted initially in this thread, I wanted to believe him but what I didn't say was that simultaneously, I didn't want to believe him. Not because of any malice towards him, but I both wanted to believe that he wouldn't lie about something so serious and didn't want to believe something like this attack would happen (even though I know in my heart of hearts it could). If he orchestrated this, and it's looking an awful lot like he did, there are no winners in this. We all lose. He loses his reputation, likely his career and his dignity. True victims of prejudice and bigotry lose, as this act will be the first thing that comes to mind in the eyes of many the next time a something like this is reported. And regardless of the what or why of it, "IF" he did indeed fabricate this whole ordeal, I actually worry for him strictly from one human being to another. I cannot imagine what would drive him to do something so foolish, so ridiculous, so reckless. Whatever pressures or triggers that drove him to it are still there, only now amplified exponentially by the world knowing he lied. I truly worry for his physical and mental well being. I hope he has a strong support system around him. Thinking about this makes makes me feel ill (fecking empathy).

Uhh, that’s from 2017 and it was the 3rd year in a row hate crimes rose in this country.
Does that mean we can blame 15 and 16 on Obama?
Neat!
I do not believe this will ruin his career. In Hollyweird, he will be viewed as a victim and a hero regardless.
So what should his punishment be?
