I didn’t click but I’m guessing it was that scene from “I’m gonna get you Sucka” where Chris rock asks how much to buy just one rib. that movie had so many quotable lines, my friends and I still quite it all the time. Winky ... dinky ... dog.

Yes, it is weird that we have people that automatically disbelieve an attack on a black man while simultaneously calling for the resignation of a governor, over racism, who is demonstrably not currently racist.

Hmm... not me either, since I openly stated there was no indication of racism in the latter case.

Who are these 'people'..? Maybe the same as the 'people' who want to deny children food and healthcare so that they live a miserable life then die. I'm still unsure who those are too.

The one time he bent forward slightly was followed by him clutching his ribs. The rest of it he remained pretty straight upright.

He wasn't clutching his rib, he was cupping his heart to demonstrate his Gay Black Love.

Are we to automatically believe him? We’re not to question elements of his narrative which don’t add up? Based on what we know, I find his account implausible. You don’t?

Well it’s the culture we’ve created for ourselves isn’t it. People have developed the need to be perpetually offended and if they can’t find it on the surface then it’s perfectly fine to dredge up the skeletons.

Personally, I don’t give a **** what the man did 30 years ago. But since he’s been outed he’s been given ample opportunity to own it and apologize. The manner in which he’s behaved since is why he needs to go.
 
The two “potential persons of interest” seen in surveillance images released by Chicago police last week “are two bums,” according to a second source who is familiar with the investigation. “Downtown demanded that we put out something, so we issued the photos,” the source said. “They weren’t happy.”

Sounds about right.

Police have dismissed the claims of a woman who lives in Smollett’s building who reported seeing “rednecks” with rope in the area 90 minutes before the purported attack.

Has that been mentioned in this thread? The neighbour who saw two men loitering outside Smollett's apartment earlier, and one of them had a... (dum dum dum!).. noose hanging from his pants!?

You have to wonder just how much more **** can be heaped on this story without the authorities dismissing it as the nonsense it clearly is.
 
I wonder how many resources Chicago PD would dedicate if I got minor injuries on the street? Is this the normal thing?

It was a bad comparison. He should have compared himself to Jesus, a big gay Jesus, taking upon his bruised back the hate crimes of the world, his rib bearing the mark of a MAGA-shouting Longinus, a clothesline of thorns draped around his neck, mincing for mankind with the bouquet of Gay Black Love exuding from his martyr's pores to quench the fetor of bigots' bleach.
 
I know who really beat him up in that camera blind spot and I know why we can’t find him on any footage.

It was Bigotfoot.
 
We will find out.

Smollett should be producing a mea culpa any minute now.

The phone call claim is part of why I lean a little towards believing Smollett (I'm at about 60/40).

Clearly if a claim of a phone call is made phone records will be investigated and I find it unlikely but not impossible that two people would put their credibility and future prospects on the line for such an easily discoverable lie with no clear upside.

If there conclusively was no call I'd be fairly convinced the attack claim was a lie.

But here's what I think is more likely to happen. There will be a few events that allow for some ambiguity and further bickering.

1) We might get some anonymous source posting on social media that the police found no such call.

2) We may get confirmation of a call but detractors will stretch the available evidence and the meanings of words beyond reasonable interpretation to claim that the call doesn't fit the proper time window.

3) If they really can't argue about the existence of the call, they'll say it proves nothing and was probably Smollett and his manager planning the hoax. Even though they've been talking about the call logs as missing evidence this whole time they'll persist in saying "no evidence" if the logs turn up.

4) The police may find the logs but not make them public, which detractors will take as evidence that no call exists and police are corruptly protecting Smollett.

5) More anonymous tweets etc. will be trotted out as evidence about the case.

There is a picture of him taken from a hospital bed, isn't there?

Apparently he was being 'assessed'. Come on, don't pretend you've never gone to hospital, laid down on a bed and taken a selfie after receiving a one cm graze to the cheek.
