You know how often this type of thing happened all the time back before Twitter?

Social media has its good sides too.

Ol juicey boy finished fam. Time to gas light the twit bots.

If the guy on the right is white, I'll donate $50 to the SPLC.

That's some old-school Jackson 5 era body posture. Dude is basically in the beginning step of choreography from "Uptown Funk".

Poor Jussie he's so misunderstood.

Oops

This story will take time to unfold.

https://abc13.com/sources-smollett-staged-attack-with-help-of-others-allegedly-being-written-off-empire/5138497/

"Multiple sources have told ABC7 Eyewitness News that police are investigating whether Smollett and the two men staged the attack allegedly because Smollett was being written off of "Empire."

A source familiar with the investigation told the ABC7 I-Team that Smollett failed to appear for an interview with detectives earlier Thursday.

A source briefed on the Smollett investigation confirmed to ABC News that Chicago police are questioning the two persons of interest -- one of whom has appeared on "Empire."

The law enforcement official also told ABC News that the homes of the persons of interest were raided Wednesday night. Police removed shoes, electronic devices and other items they believe could help them they determine if the two people played any role in the assault from those homes.

Chicago police said they "cannot confirm any of those reports." No charges have been filed.

Earlier, police said the two persons of interest are not suspects and have not been charged. Investigators are only talking with them at this time. The two were picked up Wednesday night at O'Hare International Airport, police said."

"3:30 PM PT -- Police raided the home of the 2 men who cops picked up at the O'Hare Airport Wednesday night ... this according to WBBM TV reporter Charlie De Mar, who says he spoke to the family of the 2 men. Both men are Nigerian and were extras on "Empire." Based on what the cops have already said, it appears these are the same men who were captured on the surveillance video."

It's time to write Jussie out of a free society for two years minimum.

And to think this news is released on the same day as his bs interview with Robin Roberts. It all seems like a fictional tv episode.

Police needed juice to bury himself a little deeper into his hole. Remember what they are dealing with. Black. Gay. Chicago. CPD has to play this hand just right.

Some hilarious responses to this.

Story is now the headline on drudge.

Idk if CNN has access to Twitter, but Erin Burnett is now devoting an entire segment to Trump's physical. He's obese now and he is taking more cholesterol medicine. Hard hitting journalism from Ms Burnett

---

Erin was sane on CNBC.

CNN drives newsreaders crazy?

Was it a staged hit, or did this dudes two gay lovers have a lovers spat? Did this dude come up with his TDS story to protect them? They were leaving the country, probably not because they staged something.

Sine poena nulla lex.

So many people on Twitter screeching "omg I hope this isn't true!"

Which of course translates directly to "I hope he actually was beaten up by white Trump supporters for being a gay black man!"

---

They miss the fact that ABC, CBS, etc. would not dare report this until they had all confirmed it from multiple, independent sources.

He should double down and fake his suicide - then Trump will be blamed for creating the environment that led to faking hate crimes and killing yourself because of the toxic environment that doesn't support how you feel about the way things are.

edit - better???
