He declined medical attention for him. Media refer to incident as a “brutal attack.” -Smollett told police officers to turn off body cams when they took first report. 8:54 PM - 29 Jan 2019 The first two and the fourth are not unusual in an assault. (Nor is the third...but that's not evidentiary.) Again: I'll judge when the facts are in, of which there are currently none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard he was resting comfortably in the hospital. I think a wait and see attitude is appropriate here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Quote CWBChicago @CWBChicago FollowFollow @CWBChicago A consideration regarding the "potential persons of interest" being sought by police in connection with reported hate crime incident in Streeterville: The men are walking *away* from the attack scene 15-30 minutes *before* the incident, per police timing of events. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Man Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 (edited) The media is slinking away from the Jussie Smollett hoax having done its damage. Quote Yashar Ali ?Verified account @yashar 7m7 minutes ago Confirmed with two Chicago PD sources that Jussie Smollett and his manager refused a request to turn over phone records to show Smollett's manager was on the phone with Jussie when the attack took place. Its not clear if Chicago PD will move to obtain records independently ADDED: New video of one of the 'assailants' found ! .

B-Man Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 LIKE FISH, MEDIA ROTS FROM THE HEAD: David Reaboi writes this in The Federalist today: “As media companies have found their resources shrink, they found it more profitable to jettison some of the work from highly paid, more experienced reporters and editors in favor of increasingly ideological woke clickbait generated from young staffers, listicles, and fulsome explorations of things like the ‘internet culture’ beat. The importance of agitating for political priorities and enforcing new cultural standards blinded many in the industry to the reality of their failing business model.” The rest of the post is here and well worth your attention. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
