I would also like people to do an experiment for me and tell me the truth. I tried to use google and just typed in country singer killed by teens, and it showed nothing related to what I was looking for. It had something about a country singer killed by coyotes, but that was NOT what I was searching for. I go to duck duck go, and typed the same exact thing, country singer killed by teens, and it had everything I was looking for on the first page. Please do this little research and let me know what your results are. If yours is like mine, where google is playing games, then I'd like to know, why are they doing this? What is their goal in hiding this stuff from the public?
The story did not come up when I googled 'Country singer killed by teens' but when I used bing, several articles appeared.

I don't use google - I use bing.

Never heard of such a thing.
Will future criminals apply this method down the road?
Sorry officers, you can't have my phone until I erase pertinent and
personal information that might lead to my arrest and conviction.
I have no dog in this fight as the saying goes, never heard of the dude, don't watch the show, couldn't care less about him being a gay black man, nothing in me wants to see anyone get hurt, but like we said things aren't lining up here.

I happened to be born at night, just not last night.

One word sums this up.
Staged.

Yeah, at this point I think we can basically rule out a MAGA hate crime. We are either looking at a crime by an associated party or a flat out hoax.

I was hoping his attackers would be brought to justice soon.



As the story unfolded I started asking myself questions.
In a city with cameras no recordings of the actual attack were uncovered?
Perpetrators wearing masks?
Jussie suffering minimal bruising?
Jussie released from hospital almost immediately?
It became less believable as more was reported by the media.

The icing on the cake for me was Jussie turning over a redacted phone history
to authorities rather than the entirety with the excuse to protect personal information.

If this turns out to be an elaborated staged attack to which I now
believe was a political scheme to attack and smear the Republican Party
then I hope that he will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
Filing a false police report is no laughing matter.


What is your opinion?
Curious minds would like to know.
I was willing to give the guy the benefit of the doubt. I at first doubted the whole thing about the attackers being MAGA supporters, but I did think he was at least attacked because of a drug deal gone bad, or perhaps a hook up went wrong. As the story unfolded, I was leaning towards that he's probably been let go from Empire and his manager might have concocted the whole thing to bring some publicity to his client. But when Smollet refused to give his phone over (which in reality, the police didn't even have to ask for his phone when they could just get a subpoena to retrieve his phone records from the company) it made the whole thing coming from Smollet seem fishy. I kept my mouth shut for the most part, go ahead, check my postings on this and you can see I was giving the guy a benefit until certain things just didn't seem right. Now, I definitely think it's a hoax, and he should be charged for falsifying reports, because his lies could have gotten somebody hurt for real. We have a lot of angry people out there having their heads filled with hate thanks to very manipulative music, talk shows and community leaders like Louis Farrakhan who are brainwashing people into justifying their hatred with violence. We seen what Maxine Waters and her commanding her followers to harass and terrorize Trump supporters where ever they are when they haven't done anything to anyone. I can just imagine what could happen when punks like Jussie Smollet are used as patsies by the likes of Farrakhan who would love nothing more than to see a race war break out.

If I were an assault victim (I mean a real one) I would not want to give the police my phone either. I would want them looking for the perps.
