Forgive me, mead, for swinging at this pitch, but I think what mead's saying is that there are real racists in this country who could treat a gay black man the way Smollett says he was treated. If Smollett is lying, then it desperately hurts the next gay black man who actually gets assaulted by homophobic racists. If Smollett is lying, it hurts a lot of actual victims.

IF he’s caught in a lie, he certainly hurts his own cause. Now, what happens if someone was in the wrong place at the wrong time and actually gets arrested for something that may not have happened. What does he do then? There are no winners in this situation, whether it happened or not. 1 Quote

He's promoting awareness and there is nothing more important than promoting awareness. Now, can we get back to the important issues of the day, like getting hysterical over what somebody's wife said about measles? Edited February 15, 2019 by KD in CA Quote
Augie Posted February 15, 2019 Posted February 15, 2019 They used to say no publicity is bad publicity. I don’t think that’s true today. What could make someone think this was a good idea? Quote

I love watching this kind of sh-- go down. Can any of us even begin to fathom the number of leftist politicians and black big-wigs that are attempting to influence the Chicago PD right now?

Investigators can tell from the injuries if they were self-inflicted...they'll inspect the scene for disturbances and other evidence. They'll get reports from the hospital staff. You'd have to be pretty crazy to attempt this. It's obviously a hoax. Not a single part of the story makes sense. "And they were wearing MAGA hats and said MAGA country." Give me a break. Seems a little too perfect doesn't it. He came off so bad in his GMA interview that I almost felt embarrassed watching it. He is lying and it couldn't be more obvious. The police I expect just don't have the evidence to charge him yet. Quote

His world might come crashing down very quickly. We'll see. Quote

They said they don't have evidence that it is a hoax. It's likely they believe it's a hoax, which is why the local news was reporting so, but don't want to have their spokesperson say so unless they have airtight proof. It's a hoax. Quote

Now let's pretend for a second that it was an actual attack. We either have two individuals trying to pass themselves off as insanely racist Trump supporters or Smollett lied about that portion. So either way you have someone trying to frame the MAGA crowd. Of course, this thing will quietly go away and we'll never know get the full story on all of it. 1 Quote
