Jussie's attackers: Nigerian brothers

[hondo]

Hard to understand why there hasn't been a thread on this, unless most of you don't want to deal with the fact that it's clear Jussie Smollett faked the whole thing. And this link is from CNN, not Fox News or Breitbart:

Jussie Smollett attack: Two suspects arrested in connection to attack of 'Empire' star - CNN

Let's see ... kid in Houston said to have been shot by white guys ... uhhh, no, black guy.

Covington Catholic kids a bunch of raging racists ... well, not hardly.

I'm not saying there aren't racially-motivated incidents out there. But aren't there enough so that we don't have to fake/exaggerate more?

weird flex but ok

MAGA and rolling gays are clearly popular among Nigerians.

I had never heard of this guy before this incident and I could not care less about him but go ahead and take your Maga Victory lap, Hondo.

 

[PCLoadLetter]

Yeah, I totally would have started a thread but I concluded I simply couldn't cope with the idea that a guy I'd never heard of made up a story.

You got me.

 

[Elliotte Friedman]

This story is bonkers

 

[BadgerBeer]

So the Covington kids aren't racist? Have I completely missed something?

 

[JC]

I think you guys are being unfair to Hondo. He’s talking about the reaction to this incident.

Do you really believe the original reports?

And trust me, I need to shower now that I defended him.

Another example of how Fox News has way too much influence on society.

There are numerous questions about the original story.

Hondo's assertion, however, that Smollett faked the entire attack is based on already refuted reports. That hasn't stopped the crazies on the right, of course, from claiming that it's all a hoax.

Here's the latest:
Chicago police release 2 men questioned in Smollett case

In other words, the investigation is still ongoing.

This isn't really a right-left thing. I mean, other than the fact that the right hates black people.

This guy's story is sketchy as hell. There's pretty much no way this actually happened. I don't know if that means Team MAGA is scoring points in the race war, but Smollett seems to be thoroughly full of ****.

It shouldn't be a right-left thing, but it is. Forums like The_Donald on Reddit have breathlessly shared any item - true or false - that made Smollett look like he was lying. Same with the vocal right wing extremists on Twitter like Jacob Wohl and faux news organizations like Breitbart. These people have an audience, and they're using it to spread an agenda before the case is done being investigated.

Did it happen?

I think this came up on the politics thread and basically every comment was , “sounds sketchy, will wait and see before getting worked up or not.”

Now, as the story continues to unravel, I do wonder if the media will seek responses from those on the left who jumped in head first to condemn trump’s america and tweeted justice for Jussie. That includes at least one person running for President (Harris), one Congresswoman (aoc) and sjws (sharpton and Shaun king).

I’ve followed this story since day one. The traditional media has been very smart on this, for the most part. Chicago PD has handled it extremely well too.

It was in the politics thread.

It seems we are insufficiently woke as to be trolled on the matter.

 

[hondo]

Don’t know why this would be on the Trump thread.

Don’t know why this would be on the Trump thread.

It's the politics thread. And you made this thread about politics in the opening post.

That thread is a catch all too often.

This is its own thing. And it’s turned strange. It was already sad.

No he didn’t.

Kaepernick is its own thread. Has been for a long time. And that’s far more political than this.
