So it’s more like string.
The two men were just walking around with a short length of rope? And a bottle of bleach? At 2AM? In extremely cold weather? Because — you know — they might just bump into someone they could lynch.
Instead of this ridiculous ‘clue-finding’ to prove a crime that didn’t occur, why aren’t the police using their time efficiently to snuff out the claim itself?
If you or I walked into the local cop shop with as little evidence and corroboration as has been presented to date, we’d be sent out the door with little more than ‘have a nice day.’
I think they're trying to signal to Smollett that they know he's lying and they're giving him a chance to confess and claim that a mental breakdown caused by Trump forced him to make the story up and highlight a problem that is actually very real but made up in his specific circumstances. And he still lives in fear that the invented story could become all too real in the days ahead. Then MSNBC can put together a special where they show how the lie actually was good for the country because it brought attention to something that could happen, probably very soon, because Trump and MAGA hats.
Detectives have identified local stores where clothes line is sold and are reviewing surveillance video from those stores? That sounds like a tall order (appropriate for this tall tale).
I’ve been carrying this rope in this bleach around for you jussie Smollett just waiting to run into you.
Then again Ramhbo is the mayor so who knows...
Looks like a planned hoax to me.
One word:
RAHM..................................
The Chicago PD is stretching this out while they put the finishing touches on a sham story to get them and this clown off the hook!
The FIB is ‘investigating’ that part..........So far they have been traced to a Post Office in SW Chicago, a notorious Redneck stronghold.................
As their spokesman said last week:
“They are getting all their ducks in a row.”
THEY KNOW...........................
Theyre not gonna do anything to him. Its a RAT town and ol Rahm doesnt want to get Blacks all riled up by arresting the liar!
Why do they have to ‘narrow down’ the type of rope used? Didn’t anyone save the original rope?
Are they also looking at store video from PHL and other places Jussie may have visited?
They are probably using all the tools of science, desperately hoping to find some white people to charge.
...but but but...he’s a star...and gay star...and black gay star...and a liar
At this point, police have not found anything that conclusively proves Smollett was indeed attacked.
The police are in a bind. They strongly suspect this is a hate crime hoax but to say so will result in blacks and gays attacking them for not believing Jussie, not taking his claims seriously, and not performing a legitimate investigation.
So their goal is to stretch out the investigation hoping the longer it goes on the more likely Jussie will either trip himself up or confess. Hence these ridiculous news drops. 'The rope is similar to clothesline'.
I doubt he'll confess even if the police produce video tracking every step back from Subways showing no one attacking him or even approaching him.
At 2AM
In Downtown Chicago
on the coldest night of the year.
About 10 years ago another fake hate crime (with 3 alleged perps) was busted when the ‘victim’ was caught on video buying the zip ties she was ‘restrained’ with.
