He's going to angle this as some sort of victim blaming/shaming I'm sure. Edit: the number of ads on that page makes it almost unable to read. I kept scrolling thinking there was more to the story. Edit again: called it. https://www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/tv/ct-ent-jussie-smollett-abc-interview-20190213-story.html 1 Link to comment
Moiraine Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Remember when that woman in Lincoln claimed she was attacked for being a lesbian, and it turned out she vandalized her own house? Ok I found it: https://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/nebraska-lesbian-claimed-hate-crime-attack-charged-hoax-article-1.1141775 Quote A hate crime reported last month by a lesbian claiming three masked men tied her up in her Nebraska home, carved derogatory slurs into her skin and set fire to her house was allegedly an elaborate hoax, police said Tuesday.

Carving into her own skin? No thank you. Link to comment

She was a pretty good basketball player back in the Sanderford days if I am remembering correctly. She obviously had some pretty severe psychological issues, and it also set back the cause some.

Do you have a link to where there's evidence that the attack was staged? Mosaic theory here, but the two individuals were extras on the show Empire. I highly doubt that two men from Nigeria would be staunch supporters of Trump. However, I now read that they have been released, based on new evidence from the interviews, and this investigation will now turn to a line-up. Seems highly unlikely that Smollett will be able to accurately pick out people from a lineup if he couldn't give a great description from the get-go. Again, don't want to assume, but based off all the facts provided so far this seems more hoax like/ nefarious than an actual event. Link to comment
funhusker Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 I hope they catch the guys that did it. But I also could care less if it is a hoax. Either there is two racist a-holes wandering around Chicago that should be brought to justice (which is sad) or a person felt the need to stage an attack to make it look like some Trump supporters are racist (also sad). Actually, I hope it's staged: that means there is one confirmed idiot instead of two. Link to comment
