Hate crimes are real... Jussie Smollett just made it harder on real victims

He is a complete ass for staging his attack.

People are attacked every day because of their race, gender, or orientation.

He has made it harder for every one of those REAL victims.


Arrest and convict him and give him the max sentence. That's what he deserves.

CHICAGO -- Chicago police confirmed Thursday that detectives are talking to two persons of interest in connection with the alleged attack on "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett.

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."

... written off.

Somethings wrong with this report,

If these "sources" are coming from the historically racist ass'd CPD I don't blame him for not giving them his phone

Here's what's being reported on Variety

The Chicago Police Department pushed back on the reporting, saying the notion that the attack was a hoax was “unconfirmed by case detectives.


Of course FAUX News isn't going to do a like time in kind retraction, they're assholes
