Jussie's attackers: Nigerian brothers

If it turns out the letter was faked and part of it too, I wonder if the Feds might consider throwing in some mail fraud charges.

 

As soon as they claimed one of the attackers said, “this is MAGA country” I knew it was bullshit and said so to several people.

 

The noose and bleach did it for me. Like he got attacked by a goddamn prop comic. Gallagher and Carrot Top assaulted him.

 

In minus-30 degree weather, to boot. Can you even bend a rope or pour bleach in such conditions?

 

Bleach freezes around -4 degrees. Of course, these rocket scientists could have been indoors or kept it heated until they decided to "attack."

 

I thought it froze around 18-19 degrees.

 

You would think something so simple would be an easy Google search away, but it brings up several different answers. I think it depends on the concentration. You might be right that 18-19 degrees is it. I see one page that says that for household bleach.
Another one I saw was an MSDS sheet for bleach that said -20 Celsius (-4 Fahrenheit). That's the one I went with to be safe, since it was lower, but it might also be for a more industrial strength concentration of bleach.

 

Plus, it’s hard as hell to follow because it is so large being the catch all thread, combined with tawdry posts that are downright awful.

 

ABC and Robin Roberts and trying to do serious damage control after the softball interview last week:

As Smollett Story Unravels, ABC Defends Robin Roberts' Softball Interview on GMA

And just to prove that some people have zero shame, Al Fucking Sharpton, of all people, is saying Smollet should face consequences for filing a false report:

Is he fucking kidding us?

 

So this exonerates the students? Anyone can do an investigation. Let's be smarter than just accepting the conclusion, what was the substance of the investigation?
This is totally one-sided investigation. Neither the student at the heart of the controversy, you know the one who is staring directly at the peaceful Native American drummer, nor the drummer was interviewed.
The Diocese had every motivation to issue this report, what would you expect when you're staring at potential liability? This is nothing but a advocacy report.

Does every defense expert report exonerate the defendant? That's what we have here.

The key student says he was a "peacemaker"; does a peacemaker stare directly at one party? Is he doing anything to retrain the students? One of my fav quotes from someone I cannot recall was "don't insult my intelligence"; well this position does.

Back to Smollet, there's a huge leap going on where two people are released and its already a hoax? I urge everyone to look up "Vallejo Kidnapping"; the initial story looked pretty fishy and the police chief came out on camera and said it was a hoax, well turned out it was for real. What's the rush to reach a conclusion?

 

The GMA interview bugged me in part because so much of it centered on countering disbelievers in his story. The interview was a kind of "the fact that people don't believe me underlines why there's such a problem" riff.

 

You're going to cling with all your life to Smollet's lies, aren't you.
And numerous other outlets examined the video in the Covington Catholic case and concluded the initial narrative was way off course.
