This hoax had all the hallmarks of the standard and commonplace fake hate hoax we’ve become accustomed to. So on today’s show, I’ll again do the obligatory ‘at some point the media and public have to start being skeptical of these cases, right?’ segment.
On Saturday, Chicago police revealed that the focus of the investigation had “shifted.” CNN crime and justice reporter Shimon Prokupecz reported that authorities now believe that Smollett actually paid two men to fake the attack, both of whom were now cooperating with law enforcement.
According to law enforcement officials who spoke with TMZ, a grand jury will hear the case next week to examine its credibility. The police sources also provided details on why Smollett’s claims seemingly lacked credibility.
“The sources say there were red flags from the get-go,” TMZ reported. “Cops were extremely suspicious when Jussie took them out to the area where he said he was attacked and pointed to an obscure camera saying how happy he was that the attack was on video. Turns out the camera was pointing in the wrong direction. Cops thought it was weird he knew the location of that camera.”
Most of these end up being hoaxes and this story doesn’t add up.
The Chicago Police Department is not sparing any expense to find the alleged perpetrators. Chicago Police Department spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said, “We are starting to search stores to see if any of this kind of rope was purchased in the area.” The FBI is reportedly also involved. Video footage of the area is being viewed for evidence. Guglielmi said investigators would go “painstakingly” through footage to reconstruct what Smollett said happened. Two individuals have been found on video in the area about at the same time as Smollett’s alleged attack. The video is worthless for identification purposes. For some reason, authorities are interested in whether these people are “homeless or otherwise.” It has recently been reported that Smollett was on camera for all but about 60 seconds of his trip. This would make it almost impossible for the attack to take place.
Smollett said, “I am working with authorities and have been 100% factual and consistent on every level.” Smollett did not tell police in his first interview that his attackers yelled, “This is MAGA country.” Smollett’s manager, Brandon Z. Moore, said that he was on the phone with him when the incident happened and that he heard the attackers shouting, “This is MAGA country!” On Friday, the head of the police department, Superintendent Eddie Johnson, said Smollett had been “very cooperative and we have no reason at this point to think he’s not being genuine with us.” The Chicago Police Department issued a statement claiming, “The victim is fully cooperating with investigators.” Yet Smollett refused to surrender his phone in order to verify that he was talking to his manager during the attack.
A week after the attack the police superintendent was beginning to show signs of skepticism. He reported that Smollett was still being considered a victim, but if investigators found that he had made a false report, he would be held accountable.
Let’s not forget that he’s admitted his rib was broken too. I’m still wondering if this was some domestic situation he spun into a fake hate crime … if it turns out to not be true.
You should already know the whole Covington situation was a manufactured lie. A lie perpetrated by the media and activists, including the fraud, Nathan Phillips.
This video is a complete timeline debunking the situation by the lawyer of Nick Sandmann.
It’s 14 minutes and worth every second. Especially if you still know someone peddling the lie.
Note: This is not the same radio station that got attention for banning it.
Sometimes the crowd is full of stupid. But sometimes the crowd is full of wisdom. A Bay Area radio station’s decision to lift the ban on the popular Christmas song “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” due to an audience poll is an example of the latter.
According to CBS News, San Francisco’s KOIT radio station will be returning the allegedly controversial “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” to the airwaves this season after audiences overwhelmingly expressed disapproval of the ban.
The ban occurred last week when KOIT Program Director Brian Figula announced the station would be shelving the song while asking listeners for feedback. In the end, “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” won the day.
A biological man is suing to force women at spas to wax their genitals because they identify as a woman.
Several spas have declined to perform a Brazilian wax on this transgender individual because they still have male private parts.
I completely support this person’s quest. Society can’t have it both ways. If you are going to require biological males be allowed to use female locker room showers and bathrooms, you must also force women to wax their privates.
