Jussie Smollett Updates Part Five - (I Know What You Did This Winter!)

Link to part four.

by Anonymousreply 602February 17, 2019 8:05 PM

Chicago (CNN)Two law enforcement sources with knowledge of the investigation told CNN that Chicago Police believe Jussie Smollett paid two men to orchestrate the assault.

The brothers, who were arrested Wednesday, were released without charges Friday after Chicago police cited the discovery of "new evidence."

The sources told CNN that the two men are now cooperating fully with law enforcement.

Smollett told authorities he was attacked early January 29 by two men who were "yelling out racial and homophobic slurs." He said one attacker put a rope around his neck and poured an unknown chemical substance on him.

The sources told CNN that there are records that show the two brothers purchased the rope found around Smollett's neck at an Ace Hardware store in Chicago.

Smollett gave his first detailed account of what he says was a hate crime against him, and the aftermath, in an interview with "Good Morning America" that aired Thursday. During the interview he expressed frustration at not being believed.

"It feels like if I had said it was a Muslim or a Mexican or someone black I feel like the doubters would have supported me a lot much more," Smollett said. "And that says a lot about the place where we are as a country right now."

CNN's attempts to reach both Smollett's representative and attorney Saturday were unsuccessful.

Racism and homophobia exist but they don’t exist in the way these “attacks” that make national news claim. In fact making national news should probably be the first clue that it will prove to be a hoax. The level of horror that gets them on the news is the level that rarely exists in real life.

The real life racism is seen in prison sentencing, it’s in the “he looks scary,” it’s in the not letting their kids play with your kids. The homophobia shows up when management suddenly decides “we’re not going to have spouses/partners at the holiday dinner anymore.”

It’s real and it exists but it isn’t scrawling the N word on the neighbors garage, etc. The news needs to step back and think before publishing because running these over the top, soap style stories does give the impression that bigotry doesn’t exist anymore and it’s always a lie.

Okay, racists and homophobes don't hang out on the streets of Chicago on a night when the temperature is well below zero and almost nobody is out and about, on the off chance that they might run into a gay black man to attack. And they don't carry ropes and bottles of bleach around with them everywhere they go, just in case the opportunity to commit a hate crime presents itself. This much is true. But it is not true that nobody in real life ever gets gay bashed or beaten up for being the "wrong' color or even has epithets written on their house or car or business.

[quote]JUSSIE SMOLLETT COULD GET 3 YEARS IN PRISON FOR FILING A FALSE REPORT TO POLICE

[quote]Filing a false report to police in the State of Illinois is considered an act of disorderly conduct, which is a Class 4 felony.

[quote]That means that anyone found guilty could face between one and three years in prison.

[quote]By law, the crime of disorderly conduct is committed in Illinois by anyone who 'transmits or causes to be transmitted in any manner to any peace officer, public officer or public employee a report to the effect that an offense will be committed, is being committed, or has been committed, knowing at the time of the transmission that there is no reasonable ground for believing that the offense will be committed, is being committed, or has been committed.'

[quote]Last week, a central Illinois man was sentenced to three years in state prison after he pleaded guilty to fabricating an Amber alert.

[quote]On December 15, Mitchell Dutz, 18, told police that three black men stole his car with a 13-month-old infant inside.

[quote]Dutz used a social media photo of a child he did not know to claim that there was a kidnapping, according to Peoria Journal Star.

[quote]But police rescinded the Amber alert after it became clear that it was a hoax.

[quote]Dutz pleaded guilty to motor-vehicle burglary and disorderly conduct.

[quote]Last month, a Chicago woman was charged with a felony after she allegedly made a 911 call that turned out to be a 'swatting' incident.

[quote]Keesha S. Ingram, 41, allegedly called police before dawn on December 11 to report that a man was threatening to shoot his wife in their home in Warren Township.

[quote]Sheriff's deputies responded to the call. They arrived at the scene and set up a perimeter around the house.

[quote]After making contact with the residents inside, the deputies determined there was no incident to warrant an arrest, according to the Daily Herald.

[quote]Authorities then determined that they were dealing with a 'swatting' incident whereby a person falsely reports an ongoing crime at a particular address in order to harass the individual who lives there.

[quote]An investigation led back to Ingram, who is alleged to have known one of the people who lived in the Warren Township home.

[quote]Investigators believe Ingram made the swatting call out of revenge against the victim, whom she accused of not paying her money that was owed to her.

[quote]Ingram is still on the loose and is wanted for arrest, according to Patch.

I would make sure that for those three or four months, Jussie was putting in 8 hours per day, 6 days per week of hard community service. And I would make it the most difficult. Tending to crack babies, working in the burn unit at the city hospital, working with Alzheimer patients, picking up trash on the side of the road. I would make sure he came into contact sometimes with Trump supporters so he could maybe understand that many of them were genuinely scared of their future, and wrongheadedly though Trump was the solution*. I would make it as hard of community service as possible, but make sure there was also the possibility of him learning something from it.

3. Restitution. I'd want him to have to pay back a percentage of the money wasted by the Chicago PD and the FBI because of his foolish endeavor. Any maybe make him pay $10,000 to a charity that helps ACTUAL victims of hate crimes, and provides hate crime education.

*Just FYI I hate Trump with the burning passion of 1,000 suns, but I myself work toward understanding the mind of the people who voted for him. I struggle with it, but I think we all should try to understand each other. I don't know, this is a hard one for me.

R129, common sense suggests he had something to do with it. The language used was similar to what he said his attackers shouted. Plus, how very odd -- someone who can't even write two consecutive L's without writing one of them backwards is still able to correctly spell the name "Smollett," which most people talking about this online seem to struggle with.

There's really nothing that wrong with most of those tweets. People read/hear that a gay, black minor celebrity—who has no previous history of lying/batshit behavior—was attacked by Trumptards yelling racial and homophobic slurs. That sounds plausible enough if you don't stop to examine the details of the story. So, they believe him and they express support and outrage, as any decent person would in response to a legit attack of that nature. Their only mistake is believing that a hoax attack was legit.

If they were a point the finger at specific individuals who'd been falsely accused, then maybe i could work up some outrage at how they hadn't looked closely enough at the cockamamie story before piling on the poor, innocent accused people. But that is not what happened.

Smollett’s career is over. What he needs to worry about now is being charged with a felony and staying out of jail, a likely result of his actions. The collapse of his mainstream music and acting careers are the very least of his worries right now. He’s not some hardened street rapper whose career will get a boost from being inside.

And despite the illogical beliefs of some DLers, one asshole's hoax does not render all hate crimes fraudulent. Basically, their involvement with Smollet is about the same as a zillion other people's, including Trump: they generously gave an alleged victim the benefit of the doubt at first, and kindly tweeted their support.

He has the best lawyers and will not go to jail (I assume no prior offenses)-- definitely a plea deal will be reached, and I agree that at some point mental illness will be used as the defense (I wouldn't' be surprised if they coined a new term based on Dump's presidency and how it causes all kinds of anxiety and fear-- seriously!).

And I think Jussie's is the kind of disorder that will compel him to argue that he was justified by some greater social good in doing this. Still, this isn't the kind of mental illness that doesn't appreciate the seriousness of the action--he knew what he was doing and there have to be consequences.

R516, if nothing else, this incident will draw attention to the fact that there is not an epidemic of real lynchings in the USA. Kamala Harris' anti-lynching bill seems like a solution in search of a problem. When was the last time you read a news story about a black man found hanging from a tree?

This will affect Kamala because Jussie is her friend.

Once again, the diva worship on here is blinding people. Kamala is Hillary 2.0. We need to nominate Warren or Biden to fight against Trump.

This Jussie fiasco will be brought up by Trump next year to troll Kamala or Booker. Jussie ruined it for them.

R518 Yes and no. What 99% of commentators here overlooked (due to his race and sexual orientation) is the fact that he got fucked up, like many child actors are, by growing up in a sitcom family instead of a real one. His bizarre attention-seeking behavior is much like Amanda Bynes, Corey Feldman, Britney Spears, et al. It’s typical “child actor meltdown” but racists and homophobes ignore that, of course.

After two weeks of accepting Smollett's kooky conspiracy claims at face value, and attacking anyone who showed a shred of healthy skepticism, CNN is accusing the victims of Smollett's hate crime of "weaponizing" the story.

Careful - the Hollywood Media types don't really want the public to delve into the ritual sexual assault of children that has always been a deep dark dirty secret at the core of their industry. The execs at MGM even expected Shirley Temple to suck their dicks once she turned thirteen.

Oh, for crying out loud. Has Corey Feldman infiltrated this thread? R518 makes a reasonable point, and instantly r525 raises the specter of Hollywood Confidential--kiddly diddle edition.

Smollett is suffering from some form of mental disorder. The proof is in the pudding: normal, reasonably squared-away people do not do things like this. Something has to be off in your hard wiring to make this not only seem like a rational response but then to act on it. This is textbook disordered thinking.

You don't have to sympathize, and it doesn't excuse the results of his actions. But to say "he's evil"--full stop--is pretty dim.

by Anonymousreply 530February 17, 2019 5:30 PM

R525 Even without sex abuse, it’s harmful to put kids to work as kids and babies (yes - even a Smollett baby worked on their TV series - the whole brood did), blurring the lines of reality at such a young age. They grow up with an audience of millions watching. It’s weird. The show Bojack Horseman nails this pathology.

He is clearly fucked up, but I don't see this as a "typical child actor meltdown". First of all, he's 36 freaking years old and he's just now melting down? Second of all, there was a high degree of planning involved here - poorly executed, but planned, nevertheless. I think it is a mix of narcissism and other personality disorders with a hefty helping of Munchausen syndrome.

This was career suicide and I don’t see a way back in after it for Jussie. He should now focus all his attention on staying out of prison (the federal mail fraud charges could be the real worry for him). If he is still denying this on a Twitter (or even still maintaining a social media presence while being under active CPD and FBI investigations), he’s a bigger idiot than I had previously thought.

She has a lot of social media spats regarding bisexual portrayals on TV shows and movies.
