I give up. You argue every little point as though you have factual evidence about it all.

Stop already. There is something really OFF about this story and the majority of people know that, fangirls aside.

You're reading it wrong. That was 2 AM the previous night, Sunday night. By 2 AM Monday night, it was 15 below with 20 MPH winds. Pretty darn cold to be wandering around with a heavy coat.

I dunno. How do you explain the letter sent days before? Plus the video shows him with a rope around his neck, so there would have had to be some pre-planning.

It was 2AM Tue 1/29 when the incident occur, right? 7 degrees.

Yes, it was 2am on 1/29, a Tuesday. According to Accuweather, the high was 11, low -9 on that day.

I am not even understanding what the discussion is about, it was pretty damn cold out whether -9 or -20.

He said they mentioned the show when they assaulted him. How would they even know who he is? At night. Trump fans would know him from that show? No way. This comes across as being 95% likely to either have been staged by someone he knew and he participated in it or he made the whole thing up and it never happened.
He should be sentenced to picking up trash for a few weeks and then have to take diversity awareness classes.

I have my doubts, something about this story just doesnt add up.I doubt two thugs are going to hang around an upscale part of chicago on a dangerously cold night at 2 am waiting around in the unlikely event that the guy you want to attack is going to show up.A gay meet up or drug deal gone bad is a more likely scenario, the fact that he waited 40 minutes to call the police makes me even more suspect that he need the time to come up with a good story.

He said that? Man, this thing smells worse all the time. What are the odds that racist thugs are going to be wandering around the streets of Chicago at 2 AM with a noose and a bottle of bleach just hoping to run into him? I predict this whole thing unravels by the weekend, and he'll announce that he's been under a great deal of stress and is checking himself into a treatment program.
