Re: [W:371]Empire' star Jussie Smollett attacked in possible hate crime
What I'm finding remarkable is how whatever happened in that 60 seconds that Smollett can't be seen on video, when he re-emerges with a rope around his neck, happened right there. Right there where no one can find surveillance video.
Unless police have found video and aren't releasing details.

You'd think Democrats never heard of the word, "allegedly".

I'm sure Nancy will be tweeting about how she prays that racial hoax crimes will end because no one should be attacked for whom they voted for and the color of their white skin.

Re: Empire' star Jussie Smollett attacked in possible hate crime
Why do people like you always resort to what "White, straight, Christians" need to realize?
Maybe you ought to rethink things before posting this kind of :bs in the future...

Re: Empire' star Jussie Smollett attacked in possible hate crime
This intended as a response to the thread, not necessarily to ludin, nor to change the subject: Guys/gals, what's the big deal here? Racial attacks exist. Attacks on gays exist. Trump's rhetoric has had racial overtones. People file police reports. People file false police reports. There are laws against the latter. Enforce them if necessary. Some people are perceptive, some paranoid about racial or homophobic actions or words. Some people deny such things exist. Politicians on both sides shoot from the hip when someone reports a crime and the police arrest suspects.
Is it impossible for us to accept that all of these things can be true?

Re: Empire' star Jussie Smollett attacked in possible hate crime
I have to see something more concrete first. Like any text or communications that took place between Smollett and these brothers or proof that money had changed hands between the them. If they can prove that were such interactions then that would be more compelling. But the use of the word "suggests" would seem to 'suggest' that they aren't there yet. Making an accusation is one thing. Proving it is another. For one thing what would be the motive of creating a hoax as far as Smollett would be concerned. How would that benefit him exactly? Seeing as though he's pretty successful already. And if i were those guys and had done that attack that might exactly be the sort of thing I might claim in my defense. Let's see what the Chicago police can actually come with for additional proof.

What delicious irony. You piled on with the O/P without even knowing the facts of this case, and you think you know what thread you're in. :lamo :doh

Yes, they are! They are born with the original sin of "privilege". Especially those toothless meth heads in Appalachia. They were just born into privilege.
