I am a trendsetter. Always have been.

You commented and it wasn't a very strong comment.

It is their M.O. It has been for a long time. It will never change. The Democrats don't govern on policy. They are reactionary and govern on emotion and rage. They are very angry misguided people. They know how to tap into to the raw angry emotion of others, many of which are uneducated. Those who have an education are mostly in liberal arts and after 8 years of college can not comprehend how the real world works. The real world doesn't run strictly on emotion. The real world runs on logic and fact.

I could see maybe a false statements to police or obstruction of justice (deleting texts or something) charge being more likely than an outright filing a false report unless they have texts from him documenting his role in planning it.

Looks like this will be winding down soon enough (at least on the CPD side) and we won't have to speculate anymore on how it ends.
I'm not sure about that last statement. You'd be surprised how our CPD Sup. Eddie Johnson makes a statement that seems hard to believe, only to read/ hear from cops that it's all b.s. And if the cops made any kind of mistake, what they have won't stick. So the end result may not mean much. We'll see.

I think they're waiting to 1) get more information about who else may be involved, and 2) leave him twisting in the wind over the weekend.

And they may be waiting to get some evidence on the mailed threat. We haven't heard anything about that, which makes me think they have something or they're about to get something, in that regard.

I saw one questionable site that said they are US Citizens but I don't think it's a credible site and I don't have the link. Would like to hear their immigration status.


UPDATE: Just found this...

Police confirmed that the two men, who are U.S. citizens of Nigerian descent, are brothers.

Did Smollet say that his attackers knew who he was?

I had no idea who he is so it doesn't seem likely most people would recognize him.
