Hoaxes & Hoagies: Part 5 of the gay Tupac saga
Here are some updates on the on-going investigation:
• "Police have dismissed the claims of a woman who lives in Smollett’s building who reported seeing “rednecks” with rope in the area 90 minutes before the purported attack."
• The two “potential persons of interest” seen in surveillance images released by Chicago police last week “are two bums,” according to a second source who is familiar with the investigation. “Downtown demanded that we put out something, so we issued the photos,” the source said. “They weren’t happy.”
• A source close to the investigation revealed that the purported threat letter against Smollett that was received days before the alleged attack was mailed from Chicago’s southwest suburbs. The envelope was addressed to Smollett at the Empire production offices in Chicago and had “MAGA” scrawled in the return address space. A white powder in the letter is believed to be Tylenol, according to other media reports. The investigation into the letter’s origins is being quietly conducted by the FBI.
• After a vigorous performance Saturday night at an LA club, Smollett said that—against his lawyer’s wishes—he wanted to straighten some things out about his story. Contrary to the original TMZ report that Smollett “fractured a rib,” the singer said after performing on Saturday that his rib had only been “bruised.” He also stated that, despite the same TMZ report, he was never hospitalized—merely treated and released. Smollett failed to make those clarifications in an earlier list of clarifications released to TMZ. He then declared himself “the gay Tupac” and performed his encore.

Jussie expected this to only be a thing where he got attention from his friends/coworkers. His friend thwarted that when he made Jussie go to the hospital and file a police report. Now Jussie is in a world of shit because this NEVER HAPPENED.

You made an error in one of your bullet points. Smollet did not say that his ribs were bruised; he said that he was bruised and his ribs were okay. Please check his lawyerspeak and correct that. And read more carefully please.

r31 Mayor Rahm would never allow Jussie to be charged. It was Rahm who demanded that the police release the image of the two pedestrians, as if those pedestrians were even in the area within 15 minutes of the "crime".
And Rahm's brother Ari "Gold" Emmanuel is the biggest agent in Hollywood. This is DNC/Hollywood politics, and police work and criminal justice have nothing to do with it:
"Would you like to know what detectives are telling us? It never happened. CPD is wasting hundreds of man hours to solve a Grindr date gone bad. The "victim" is refusing all forms of cooperation, his "ear witness" isn't cooperating, the Hollywood press is running with a non-existent narrative. The "persons of interest" are all but unidentifiable and left the area 20 minutes before the "attack," not to mention the anonymous witness who saw a "hillbilly looking" character that not a single camera in a one mile radius has a picture of. And that's just from a couple of people working the case."

r57, I think his point was you don't have to believe Jussie's version of the events. But automatically assuming it was a hook-up gone wrong is probably an incorrect assessment of what happened based on the fact that Jussie is in an LTR, and if he was on apps we would know by now. He also says the black community needs to stop victim shaming ie R Kelly victims.
You can agree with all of that, and still think Jussie is not being truthful.

Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson today said that Smollett is still being treated as the victim in the case. However, Smollett will be held responsible if the investigation reveals that he made a false report, according to Johnson. (Rafer Weigel, Fox Chicago)
Additionally, police were said to be preparing for possible interrogations, but they did not say of whom. (Matt Finn, Fox News)
Rope: Investigators had been working to identify the source of the rope that Smollett said was tied around his neck in a noose during the attack. The FBI has extensive scientific resources and product samples that frequently allow its technicians to identify the manufacturer of rope and cord evidence.
In a simplified example, technicians could determine that the rope is made by “ABC Rope Company.” Investigators might contact ABC and learn that the particular variety recovered from Smollett is sold as a plain-label product through Walgreens stores. Investigators then ask Walgreens for records of transactions in which the rope was sold. The last step would be to identify the more promising purchases and to review surveillance video and financial records of those transactions.
A source close to the case said Monday that investigators were visiting retail stores, which may indicate that the search for video and transaction records is underway.

If that's the real first report at R1, I'm more confused than ever. The main aggressor wore a mask but the 2nd one didn't. Was the 2nd one white? The report mentions he was battered about the face with their hands but no mention of his ribs. There's no mention of injuries, no blood. I've never seen a first report and don't know what it usually covers.
If you wanted to attack someone with your hands, wouldn't you use your fists? Are you going to slap someone? Whoever these alleged attackers were they weren't very strong or they weren't trying to hurt him. I can do more damage to myself tripping over my animals.

R134, not to pick on YOU, but there are several kinds of “clothesline”. When i was a kid, we had a thick multi-strand braided white cotton kind. There was also a thick (and rough!) yellow plastic version. And my grandma had one of those standing ones in her yard that looked like an umbrella, kind of. That one had a stretchy-green tubing kind. She’d get PISSED when we tried to hang from it because it would get stretched out. I’ve also seen the blue and white thin braided plastic kind in Chinatown.

Might be unimportant, but in the police report it says the clothesline wasn't used as a weapon.

Assuming that the attack happened, I suspect the clothesline was intended to be symbolic rather than to cause physical harm. And I don't think Jussie claimed that they used the rope as a weapon.
The story is more bizarre by the day.

So per the Twitter feed above, the CPD are combing the usual stores for a CCTV of Smollett buying clothesline. That is how they solve half the murders featured on shows like 48 Hours and Dateline. They see tapes of the perps buying tarp, lime and a saw at the local Home Depot.
There is no question now that the investigation has shifted to discovering proof of his false report. I guess I was wrong about thinking that the CPD would allow the story to die with dignity in order to protect the mentally ill Jussie.
Apparently Chicago citizens are furious and demanding proper resolution.

He’s a race baiting piece of shit. I doubt any of this has to do with mental illness, but I have a feeling that’s the card that will be played to excuse his racist behavior.

R138 I was thinking the same thing. Now I’m wondering what store sells a clothesline type string/rope that is also open at 2 in the morning. The cops reported it looked like it came right out of the package, brand new.

They can probably get his credit card records without his cooperation. You'd think, though, that he'd be smart enough to pay cash if he did this.

The way many types of clothesline is packaged also looks rather “noose-like”.

That's true he may have paid cash for the rope, but CC records would show them stores he has frequented recently.
I'd check video footage of those first.

Not to mention the surveillance cameras that are now in every store, even if he paid cash he’d at least show up on camera holding a package of rope/string.

I used to think this was real, but it seems impossible to me that there's not a single video of the attack or seconds before or after. This is insane. Who gets beat up and won't let go of the sandwich? I'm starting to think this was a hook up gone wrong. Since the mayor of Chicago is the brother of the most powerful man in Hollywood this will be shrugged off if the police finds out the hoax.

Here’s what’s probably going to happen. The police will be told not to release the fact that this is a hoax until the story dies down, in the hope that by then, the “fact” that this was a real hate crime will be so embedded in people’s mind the truth barely makes a dent in the preferred/convenient narrative of Jussies political supporters, the mayor of Chicago and his Hollywood bro.
The end.

Mayoral primary is a little over two weeks away. A lot will depend on who polling says will be in the final 2. If the machine is worried that it won't be Periwickle, Daley, or Mendoza, they might reveal video that Jussie made it up to depress turnout among under 40s. If they're ok, they'll wait until after the primary to minimize unpredictability.

It's going on two weeks now, and the cops haven't even thrown JS a bone by confirming publicly that bleach was found on his clothing.
Has there been a statement that the contents of the Hot Sauce will be tested and compared to what was found on his clothing?
One statement just says the CPD isn't sure what the bottle has to do with anything.
And oh yeah, JS submitted an altered phone record. nothing suspicious about that.....
