The story has all fallen apart for Mr. Smollett. He should just give up the charade and admit this was all a publicity-seeking hoax.

It looks to me that only the truth was lynched.

Bedford Park: 55 Hillary 45 Trump. The area just west of Bedford Park chose Trump over Hillary. Many areas of Chicago's SW suburbs went for Trump. See map in this link.

Based on earlier reporting, the subway was reported to be at 511 north mc clurg street.

That's why it fell off my radar that the initial article mentioned 'as he was leaving Subway'. All reports I read after that said something else. But now that's what's in the police report?

I think there's a reason Smollett and hs manager aren't in a hurry to clarify what really happened - it's because the more confusion there is, the more credible they think they'll be in claiming there was a misunderstanding of the real events.

And if they used their teeth, (that's a new one), where's the bite marks on him? This sounds more like a hook up gone bad than some random "racist Trump supporters".

Give me a break.

Nothing happened to this idiot.
Yeah, what a hero! He seems to be a victim of his ego.

If someone sent me a letter saying I was going to die with a stick figure graphic that had a gun pointing at what was supposed to be me, I would hire security and I sure as hell wouldn't be out in Chicago at 2am.

The police report doesn't say anything about it happening as he was leaving Subway. The police report states it occurred "as he was walking to his residence". The police report also says "victim showed R/O's where the incident occurred"

Don't get too hung up on the demographics of Bedford Park. Mail is no longer postmarked in the post office it goes to first. If I mail something out of my suburb, or the surrounding suburbs, it's postmarked Palatine, IL. That's where the mail goes to be postmarked and sorted, etc. So the letter was mailed in the southern suburbs of Chicago, around Midway airport.
