Edit: NVM, your link above provides the answer. It says he was seen by a doc at the hospital at 4:20am.
Ok, so - he was walking around at 2am, getting his Subway. He got attacked at some point, he says. He then walked home, sat there for 40 something minutes before his manager called him. So we're looking at about 3am by that time. His manger convinces him to call the police. He does so. It takes a minute for the police to get there. They listen to his story, they write a report, if they still do this, Jussie should have written down his own report of what happened, and then after being advised to go to the hospital, he was taken there.
We've got to be looking at another hour at least.
So now he's at the hospital, and he's seen by a doctor at 420am.
So 2 hours and 20 minutes from the time he said he was walking around by himself getting a sandwich to being seen by a doctor. In the middle of that is the alleged attack, the walk home, the sitting at home for 42 minutes, the call from the manager, the call to police, the police arriving, the police listening to the story, the police having him write down what he his story is, advising him to go to the hospital, someone took him there (who?), arriving, checking in, being seen.
All of that happened in 2 hours and 20 minutes.
In that 2 hours and 20 minutes, was this a known story by then?
Okay, slight correction...it was OEMC that was notified at 4:20am.
News Affairs notified at 6:05am.
So, this was not known until 6am Chicago time.
My question is this:
How did Don "This Is A Modern Day Lynching" Lemon, who was not friends with Jussie at the time, (they had "mutual friends"), know to contact Jussie by phone while he was in the hospital being treated for his minor injuries?
...the CNN anchor spoke about calling the "Empire" star immediately after he heard about the incident, where Smollett was allegedly beaten up in a racist and homophobic attack in Chicago...
..."My initial reaction was sadness," Lemon told the table. "I wasn't shocked. I didn't like that it happened to him. I called him because we have mutual friends."
"I talked to Jussie for a minute and he said, 'I gotta go, the doctors here' and it just made me sad," he continued. "Everyone talks about, 'Well, this happened and that happened.' My concern is for him."
Really. Who notified Don Lemon? Why at that hour before the news affairs was even notified?
I am predicting Smollett suicides himself before the cops get to him.
Why would you even make a statement like that? Regardless of how you feel about the situation, that's a pretty insensitive thing to even think, and I wouldn't wish or predict for anyone to do something like that.
