What I thought was interesting was the police, when they raided the Nigerians apartment, seized several items (yes the bleach, big deal) but also a book of stamps. If you recall, the racist hate letter sent to Jussie had two stamps attached. If they can link those stamps to the letter now they have a premeditated act and if it's all a hoax they should sing like canaries. I guess we'll find out.

"New evidence"
Comfesion? By Jussie?

It will end like the Jazmine Barnes case did.

I see a few scenarios. First could be pre-planned staged deal by all 3 and they have communication to prove it. 2nd could be some homo horseplay where Jussie got hurt a bit, then decides to take the opportunity to create this false attack scenario. I tend to think that is the case because it was planned out so poorly. But again, they likely have communication. Since Jussie is the one that filed the report, he's the one on the *****

I keep going back to the letter, I think it's very likely at this point Jussie mailed it to himself or I think even more likely the two Nigerians mailed it to him and Jussie was in on it.

However, the letter didn't have the desired effect and wasn't widely reported, maybe only locally, but didn't move the needle at all like Jussie thought would occur. I bet this really angered him, not only as a TDS fueled idiot but also played against his narcissistic tendencies as a "celebrity."

Once over a week passes and the media still hasn't picked up on the letter Jussie coordinates the attack with his two workout buddies.

They actually pick the perfect night to do this attack as there literally is nobody around to witness the attack and could potentially thwart their plans.

That incident report says nothing about MAGA nor does it allege that the perps were white. In fact, you could read that and surmise that he has been telling the truth all along. Maybe the black guys did jump him for some reason and yell homophobic slurs.

Where did the "MAGA Country" stuff come from? Did he allege it was said after the fact?

---

His publicist told TMZ, so the police (upon hearing this new detail) setup a 2nd interview the next day, where he validated what his publicist said.

---

So can we get a stipulation that this point is a settled matter now?

Can we at least do that?

I don't know what you are asking. What is settled... TMZ, his publicist, the 2nd interview, being on the phone with publicist, or what?

Here's a thought, and it would be so delicious if true, we know he's friends with Kamala Harris. What if she pressured her black gay celebrity friend and fellow activist into doing this...of course she would deny it and would be Jussie's word against her's but that would just be fantastic. It would definitely kick this story up a notch.

---

If that's true, we are going to have to coin a new term for the Kamala version of "Arkanacide".

Kamala is a pretty clear front runner for the Dems in 2020. There's no way they would let something like this stop them.

ETA: Of course this is all wild theory at this point. I have no reason to believe it's even remotely true.

That the "This is MAGA Country" stuff did, indeed, come from Smollett himself in subsequent interviews with police and not from [Insert Right Wing Boogey Man / SPLC Slanderee here].

Quote:

---

In a follow-up interview with authorities, police said Smollett told them that his attackers reportedly yelled out the "Make America Great Again" abbreviation, "MAGA."

"In the initial reports there was no mention of MAGA," the statement read. "When detectives [followed] up with him later in the day, he recalled the offenders making those comments and detectives completed a supplemental report."

---

From the beginning the CPD has been going over video footage covering a sizable time interval. If only there was a way to get an exact timestamp of when the attack occurred then they could use it to find and/or eliminate from suspicion any subjects on video.

And of course there was....and still is:

Quote:

---

The victim and his manager reported that they were talking on their cell phones to each other but CPD has been unable to independently verify this because they refused to turn over their cell phones,

[snip]

Brandon Z. Moore, Smollett's music manager, said he heard some of the attack while on the phone with Smollett, according to Variety.

"I heard that clearly," Moore said. "I heard the scuffle and I heard the racial slur."

---

Question: Why would they be describing it as a racial slur when it came from another Black guy?

Cory Booker and Kamala Harris are correct in one sense: In 21st Century America, this is a modern day lynching. And that is real progress.
