Cops are probably pretty good at ferreting out stories like this. People fake hate crimes all the time. This was so over the top that even a junior detective should have been smelling rat as he took the report. Dietrich and Wojo would have figured it out right off!



I figured it out at "2 white guys walking around the streets of Chicago at 1am with a noose in their hands".

He is not too smart since I hear he paid his accomplices 35k to beat him up. He could have had 2 white guys beat his ass for free and made this all real.

It was $3500, not $35K. They would have
done it for $350 probably.

Cops take police reports for a living. After
the first few hundred, they can spot a
phony almost every time. There's a
certain way people talk when filing, and
if this person is different, they smell a rat.

To top it off, Smollett wrote the brothers
a check, so the cops have a paper trail.
I'm wondering just how bright Smollett
is. Fox said a few days ago they were
standing by his story and he would be
back next season. Today they're saying,
yeah, probably not gonna happen.

I don't watch the office. From what I have seen, it's just a bit too corny for me. More cornball slapstick and less witt. I hear it's really good so perhaps the things I have seen were bad samples. I'll give it a try and watch the first episode sometime soon.

The WP should be allowed to quote Nathan Phillips and the kids and anyone else no matter how inflammatory or even if it is wrong. That doesn't make them anything.

Whether they did more than that is the issue and pushed agenda and caused harm is the issue. (I think) (not a lawyer) (I may be wrong)

Not sure? He's done absolutely nothing
racist. The problem on the Left is, the
kid was innocent. And now they're seething
that not only were they wrong about him,
he's going to end up fabulously wealthy
because of the media's jump to judgement.
They just can't stand it.

Even if he only gets 10% of the amounts
they're suing for, he'll be set for life 10
times over. All for doing the right thing.

I'm glad it was a fabricated story. If the way he told it was actually what had happened, I believe it could have led to a lot of violence. I think his punishment should fit the crime he conjured up, and add to the sentence a few years because it was a "hate crime", trying to stir up racial conflict.

Smollet tried to have the attack done
where it would caught on some

If there had been video, there might
have been violence in the streets

There is a picture from 2012 showing some of the students in blackface. I doubt that this one was in it.

Yes, racists probably do attend his school.

Yes, racists probably attend many schools.

Yes, there are some racists in America.

Just not as many as some of you would like to think.

The word "racist" is too often used as a crutch to label a group of people who may have a different opinion on an issue.

Finding one "racist" in a crowd and labeling the whole crowd as such is similar to thinking all people who are way to the left are part of Antifa. It allows one to ignorantly place a label on people, but it doesn't make that label correct or make the people who apply them look very smart.

I bet there is someone who is racist at almost every sporting event rooting for a particular team to succeed. That does not make everyone rooting for that team racist.

I guess it is widely known among those who have nothing better to do than calling names.

it is an easy way out and helps build ignorance by allowing people to use it as their argument instead of actually working on issues that are out there.
