So let me get this straight.

A couple days ago, it was so implausible that a real attack would not be caught on camera that the lack of video was damning proof no attack happened.

But it's not so implausible that a fake attack that they were trying to get on video was not captured.

Really baseline logic here. Which is less plausible, that a real attack could not be captured where if there was planning, not being captured on video would be a goal?

OR

That a fake attack where video capture was the major goal would somehow accidentally end up being uncaptured?

Should have been pretty obvious I was kidding.
 
In other words, they might have the 'incident' fully on camera, known the truth, and let Smollett tighten the noose himself...

Just because the police said nothing was caught on camera, does not mean, nothing was caught on camera. Do you see what they might have done here?

They said the attack wasn't caught on camera. They didn't say they didn't see anything interesting.

I'm saying that the majority of posters in this thread started with the conclusion and are doing gymnastics to twist any facts to fit it.

The majority of posts in this thread are "These facts are unlikely if it was a real attack"

But the majority of posters are using wildly and obviously inconsistent and self contradictory standards for what is unlikely.

That's what you always get on discussion boards, though.

Low signal, high noise.

What is likely is that Jussie knew these clowns and it had nothing to do with racial prejudice and certainly nothing to do with MAGA COUNTRY.

Just African-African on African-American violence, I reckon.

Shame.

No. A lot of posters find the whole thing pretty implausible out of the gate. In particular, Smollett being videoed from the Subway to the condo, but not a fleeting clip of these attackers to be seen on the deserted streets. One snippet of people running away, and it would be a whole different ballgame.

Sure, the police can even be totally wrong.

I'm speculating that they weren't wrong. That they just withheld that they had video of the attack, so they could drag some contradictory info out of Smollett.
 
How about the cops lied about missing 60 seconds? Camera shows the three meeting, the two Nigerians handing Smollett the noose, sprinkling some bleach, Smollett cooperating with a 'massage' to the face?

As I said at the beginning, the police effectively stated that if there was no video of the men entering and leaving then there was no attack.

I assume this is still the case.
 
Perhaps you missed this post.

Well, the first time I ever heard the word MAGA was when I used to peruse the forums where people would try and bait the Nigerian scammers and send them on wild goose chases. In Nigeria, apparently, “maga” loosely translates to “sucker.” Thus, victims of the Nigerian scams were berated as magas.

So yeah! It could very well be that a Nigerian yelled this out ... but I’m not sure who the maga is in this case...

They really DO use magas.

So he never said the attacker was white then? Your previous post was incorrect.

His good morning America quote "if I had said it was a Mexican or a black man..." is probably the best example.

To be fair he could have meant Chinese, Indian, or any number of other races. But it's kinda obvious he was talking about white folks.
 
I knew this story was a hoax and that it would conclude amusingly, but the particulars of how the hoax was done are proving to be even more in line with my worldview and even more amusing than I had expected.

Delightful.
