I didn’t even bother to post about this obvious hoax because it was so blatantly obvious. And the Chicago police obviously knew it from the start, they just didn’t want to deal with another stupid riot based on a false narrative:
Chicago police confirmed Thursday that detectives are talking to two persons of interest in connection with the alleged attack on “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett. Multiple sources have told ABC7 Eyewitness News that police are investigating whether Smollett and the two men staged the attack allegedly because Smollett was being written off of “Empire.”
A source familiar with the investigation told the ABC7 I-Team that Smollett failed to appear for an interview with detectives earlier Thursday.
Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson contacted ABC7 to say they are continuing to treat Smollett as a victim and the investigation remains ongoing.
A society that rewards victimhood is always going to produce victims, even if the victims have to take the trouble to victimize themselves.
