unbillievable

There's a bit of time crunch if there were three of them. I guess they could have all been on the phone talking to each other, but unless they all lived in the same area, it would leave very little time before the manager called the cops. We also have to assume the manager was ready to go out at 2AM in the polar vortex. Also, that would mean that the Choreographer was staying at Jussie's apartment, or they live in the same building. Initial reports were that Jussie went to a friend's apartment, but they end up at his place when the cops show up? There is no information on where they all live and how long it would take for them to meet up. All of this would have to occur in 20-30minutes for the timeline to add up. Remember, they're supposed to be having in-depth, heart-wrenching, emotional breakdown level talks during this period. As it stands, they had enough time to holla, "WAZZZ-UP", eat the sandwich, then call the cops. The footage they were talking about were of the two homeless people. This part of the article follows the media's narrative from earlier where the two "person's of interest" were considered suspects. The reporter is taking his previous article and just updating information; but kept his assumption that they were looking to arrest the two blurs. The alternative interpretation would be that the "journalist" is implying that some video evidence of the incident has been found pointing to other suspects, but that would qualify as spreading #fakenews.

10 years to completely demolish and rebuild every structure in the country... ...as someone with knowledge in this field, I can only think of one way of doing it on time: deploy nukes.

https://people.com/tv/jussie-smollett-friend-speaks-out-apparent-hate-crime/ The Manager, speaks out. "I said let’s call the cops, let’s go to the hospital..." ...the actor returned to his apartment afterward and called his manager, who quickly made his way to Smollett’s home. “The manager goes to the apartment, and they agree to call police. The manager called us at 2:40 a.m...” Jussie calls the Manager/Choreographer/Creative Director to his apartment at 2AM in the morning, where Gatson spends 30 minutes convincing Jussie to call the cops, while wearing a noose around his neck. Possibly twirling it on his finger like a phone cord. ? It took me awhile to figure out that the manager and choreographer were the same guy. Also not sure if the manager was already at the apartment (from the article) or he came over(also from article.) It's also interesting to read that the police have acquired footage that could lead to the arrest of the two homeless blurs that weren't anywhere near Jussie (from article). ?

prosthetics-for-all will have you covered!

The more I read about the Green New Deal, the better it sounds. It's a list a 2nd grader would make if you asked them what the world would be like when they grow up. I would like to add: Flying cars Hover boards! A replicator in every kitchen A Unicorn in every back yard. light sabers for guns program!

Two feet rise.? I guess climatology doesn't include studying physics.

It's a redundant adjective. Like specifying Pork bacon because Turkey bacon exists somewhere in the universe. Everyone calls it just "bacon" except some subset of deranged loons who insist we clarify that it's made from pig. My favorite food to grill is beef burgers!

The best explanation I heard was that it was a couple of maids doing laundry at 2AM to avoid the crowds. They hit him with tide w/ bleach and smacked him with their bags of laundry, which is why he only had a scratch on his cheek.. The noose was actually a drawstring from one of the bags, that broke, and he didn't notice it around his neck until the cops pointed it out. The old ladies thought the frozen sandwhich was a gun, and being black, they though he was going to mug them. (racists). Jussie was so embarassed, that he made up the rest. The reason the women didn't show up on camera, is because they have keys to the service entrance in the alley.

I guess, when someone gets repeatedly beaten, it's perfectly normal to just dance it off, after a few days recovery. Personally, I would take a few weeks to let my bruised face heal, and let the broken ribs reset, before going on stage to entertain people. Although, I might be persuaded to go out for a subway sandwich.

I just can't help watch this train-wreck. This is a man that was jumped by two men, and beaten bad enough for them to slip a noose around his neck. (but not lose hold of his sandwich.) ...and he's still healing. While dancin'!?

It's murder +. They give more severe sentences. Like super-sizing. Kill someone = 20yrs Kill someone while wearing MAGA hat = death penalty.

"Unconfirmed sources suggest that the scratch on Jussie's face was caused by the actor being hit by frozen cubes of Bleach". ? I think, i'm done with reading articles on this story. It's too ridiculous at this point. More an SNL skit (or chapelle show). The media is still pushing the assault (instead of hoax) narrative, but the reader comments are almost exclusively calling him a liar.

Isn't all of that covered under Hate Crime laws? Even if it's redundant, I guess it's a harmless way to make some folks feel better. Like Obama's equal pay act.

I wonder how the law is worded. Does it say "straw" or "cylindrical sucking device."

So Jussie has worked with Kamala Harris to push an Anti-Lynchin' law (didn't know it was legal) the past year. A day after the attack, Harris pushes the Bill for a vote in Congress.

Sell the common cards as part of a complete set. Otherwise, keep them and hope so many people think they're worthless, that they become rare from people throwing them away.

-I was not a witness to these events, but know the people involved. A few years ago, two people got caught having sex in the bathroom at work. Normally, this would result in just a reprimand on your employee file, (and ridicule from co-workers), which makes it difficult to move up to management in the future. The woman filed a sexual harassment complaint to HR. The guy gets fired, and everyone has to watch a video. She gets off with no reprimand. She's moved up a little bit since, but the fact that everyone still knows her as the bathroom-sex-girl isn't helping her chances to advance very much. Another woman, decades ago, got caught giving a ****** in the parking lot. She is currently a supervisor close to retirement. (The first thing I heard about her was her nickname) Bathroom-sex-girl is positioning herself to take over BJ's job when she retires, as safety supervisor. ?

I've found that the most popular collectibles are usually the items that existed during the childhood of the current retired population. You've got a large population with disposable money with nothing to do but remember the good ol' days.

My older brother once told me that only guys who suck **** use straws. My group of friends never used them; took the tops off and drank soda like real men.

https://www.fox5ny.com/news/bay-area-chef-apologizes-after-tweet-banning-maga-hats-from-restaurant Chef apologizes for not being clear in his tweets. He's banning everyone that doesn't agree with him. The MAGA hat just makes it obvious from the start.

Update: from Jussie Smollett. He never said they wore MAGA Hats, only that they yelled "MAGA country." Says his story never changed, he merely added more details to it. He didn't remove the noose to preserve the evidence. He didn't refuse to hand over his cell phone. The police informally asked and he didn't feel comfortable letting it go, so he didn't. Call records were never discussed. Police state they will not seek a warrant for the phone or records at this time as Jussie is not a suspect. He wants to bring to the public's attention that what happened to him occurs every single day around the country. There are roaving bands of MAGA thugs harassing gays and minorities. Many of them smirking.

What we know so far: (bits and pieces from several articles.)? -2)Jussie's concert has sold 20% of seating 1 week before incident -1)Threatening letters and crushed asparin are mailed to Empire studio. -experts believe that the letter was either pasted together by a 4yr-old, or someone who watches too much television. 1)Smollett decides to go out for food in Chicago.

Edit: it's JUssie, not Jessie! Edit2: updated with latest

The person's of interest are not suspects. They are being considered potential witnesses since they happen to be close to the area. The police could not find any video evidence and have moved on to finding people that might have been close enough to see/hear/suspect something. This has HOAX written all over it. This is something a lefty would think a conservative would say when telling Republican ghost stories inside their bubble. I'm surprised they didn't yell "build the wall!"

I knew it was fake the second the article said that he was still wearing the noose around his neck when the police (eventually) arrived to take a report .
