You realize how stupid your assertion is, no?
No. He was out walking for a reason. To get jumped. Subway was part of the ruse. It was the only place open and serving food within walking distance at 2:00 am. It was all part of the plan.

How is that a stupid assertion?

I'll have to agree to disagree on this one.

I think he's going to have to pay the piper when it's comes to the CPD and FBI in some kind of way.

There has been ample opportunity for the cops and feds to drop it. They haven't. And I think that speaks volumes.

You are what you think. If you think of yourself as a victim, you will be one. My husband hates being put into the 'people of color' at his workplace. He rightfully feels that label is degrading, as all people are people. We Republicans will continue to refuse Democrats' divisive tactics.
I love that a gay Asian guy is against the whole identity politics thing. I wished more people would wake up or be "woke" on the inherent wrongness of the idea of judging people by their whatever race is.

I mean it's fundamentally not what we should be doing. We should be judging people on their own individual merits, yeah, we can acknowledge race if we need to but let's get past all of this stuff.

i agree, but only because of the post office aspect. if it weren't for that, they'd have dropped it like a hot potato.

I've actually thought this as well - after re-watching his GMA interview.

When Jussie took the police to where the "attack" happened, there was a camera right above - the CPD told Jussie that it was facing the wrong way though. On that I call bullcrap .... I think CPD knew right away that something was off and didn't show all their cards.

I do think the "attack" happened. I mean, in a stage-fighting fake sort of way.

Not to mention the USPS.

He's gonna go down for this.

The MSM has turned on him too.

But honestly, I'm not so sure.

I don't think he's going to do hard time, but I don't think this is going away anytime soon - especially when the moron used the US Mail. Those investigators don't play.

What I'm more dismayed about, and yet, not surprised in the slightest, is that there haven't been (more) calls to boycott Empire and fire Jussie. I mean, the SWJ's called for Roseanne's head on a platter in about .03 seconds.
I HATE saying this because people LOVE to condemn Democrats for the sins of the liberals, but I will. Liberals are the most intolerant group in our country. You're not going to see the same level of outrage from the right or from moderates. It's always the same damn group causing all the problems and making big issues out of nothing.

The slogan of liberals should be Make America Hate Again.

Shouldn’t he be suspended without pay at this point? There seems to be enough there that he is a detriment to the show and a public relations nightmare at the very least. He lawyered up to the max, so he seems to know he’s in for a world of hurt. Lefties eat their own nicely when they hurt the narrative.

Three special classes. He's black, gay, and half-Jewish.
