Cops have napped the two Nigerians responsible for the attack. Black on black violence, what a shocker. Jussie better also do some jail time for lying about who his attacker were.

Any updates on the rednecks with MAGA hats yet?

Liberals would rather lie and accuse innocent white people of hate crimes than admit there’s a black on black violence and homophobia problem in the black community.

But why ignore any moral integrity and jump on the fake news bandwagon. Risk your credibility. Why is hating Trump more important than that?
Giving someone the benefit of the doubt is not evil. All of the facts were not in. She was demonstrating compassion to someone who claimed to be victimized. Give her a break.

But even if it is black on black crime, Smallett should still be mad and tweet about it and let himself be interviewed. This shouldn't change anything......right??
Let's see.

lol..their lawyer appears to have spent more time talking to the media than her clients. This case is turning from a b-list soap opera to a cohen brothers movie.

Liberals will never pass up the chance to play the victim in America. If that means making a false police report about the description of your attacker then so be it.

Liberals ate this story up like a buffet and now the chickens have come home to roost.

Smollett would be behind bars already if he filed a false police report. I don't know what alternate reality you guys think he lives in. This is a true story and CPD has been eerily quiet. Why? Because what Jussie said happened is closer to the truth than all these rumors you all are getting from people who aren't even in Chicago.

There is no doubt that Roberts and other black reporters would have pushed further with the questioning if this had been a white guy and the questions were out there about this being a hoax.

Blacks say they want a color blind society but many times wind up using (either purposely or subconsciously) their race/color as an exclusive, separatist type of thing to support each other & stick together even when the odds are members of their race are lying or guilty.

Yeah, journalists can out right accuse a reported victim of creating a hoax. Especially since there isn't direct evidence of him lying, just lots of unconfirmed reports of aspects that don't add up.

Plus, there was a lot of chatter on social media that her body language suggested she didn't buy what she was hearing..for what that's worth.

If CPD comes out and says it was a false police report will you believe CPD?

Well it may very well turn out they attacked him without his knowledge, but do you believe this could still be a genuine MAGA hate crime by unkown Trump supporters?
