MAGA supporters brutally beat Jussie Smollett

Actor Jussie Smollet, star of the show 'Empire' was brutally attacked outside a Chicago Subway sandwich shop early Monday morning. The two white men beat him up, put his head in a noose, and yelled "This is MAGA country!"

The altercation started when the 36 year old gay black actor - who had just arrived in Chicago from New York - was leaving the sandwich shop around 2 am. Someone yelled out, "Aren't you that f***ot 'Empire' n*****?"

The two white men - wearing ski masks and MAGA hats- approached Smollet and brutally beat him. The actor fought back, but suffered a fractured rib. The two men then put a noose around his neck, poured bleach on him, and then yelled "This is MAGA country!" before leaving him. The actor was taken to Northwestern Memorial where he was treated.

Just eight days ago, an anonymous letter was sent to the actor at FOX Studios in Chicago, with "MAGA" written in the top corner for the return address. The letter says, "You will die black f**." in cut-out letters.

Chicago police are investigating these two incidents as a 'hate crime' and checking the neighborhood for surveillance cameras.

"Given the severity of the allegations, we are taking this investigation very seriously and treating it as a possible hate crime," said Chicago police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi . "Detectives are currently working to gather video, identify potential witnesses and establish an investigative timeline. The victim is fully cooperating."

LMAO. This post didn't age well.

[–] Bubbathegut (17228) 5 years ago

Lol, nope!

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

Au contraire...

It certainly has. It aged well as of 3/26/19 at 11 am CT.

[–] JimmyStrudel (600) 5 years ago

Imagine thinking Jussie is innocent or doing two days of community service and paying $10,000 is a sufficient punishment for staging a fake hate crime and attempting to cause a race war to further their own career. Imagine thinking that Jussie was completely fine with putting two innocent white people in jail is acceptable.

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

Imagine how racist T-rumptards "splodey heads keep explodin'" over this?

[–] JimmyStrudel (600) 5 years ago

Imagine thinking all Trump supporters are racist. Stop watching MSM and go outside.

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

Try again, sport.

I learned T-rumptards are racist by catching a few minutes each day on FOX: Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, FOX & Friends, Jeanine Pirro...they proudly promote white supremacy and proudly show off their racism as though it were a trophy.

A few minutes each day of learning people without white skin is the enemy from these chuckleheads is all I can take before my stomach turns. No wonder T-rumptards are brainwashed.

[–] JimmyStrudel (600) 5 years ago

Yeah sure you do. Liar.

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

Do indeed. There's so much to absorb on MSM these days, I click the remote to FOX for entertainment with all their conspiracy theories being thrown at the audience.

I'm trying to think of my favorite racist moment on FOX, since there are so many...

The classic is when Brian Kilmeade asked Harris Faulkner if she serves Kool Aid at family cookouts, which prompted Faulkner to drop her jaw to the floor on national TV.

Then there's Carlson's remark in November in which he commented about immigrants from the southern border making our country 'dirtier', which prompted every national advertiser (except MyPillow) to flee his show in a record amount of time.

But Jeanine Pirro's racist comment about Rep. Illhan Omar’s from two weeks ago is in the lead to be 'racist of all time'.

What are your favorite racist comments from FOX hosts, Jimmy?

[–] JimmyStrudel (600) 5 years ago

I’m not reading all that

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

Illiteracy is a problem in this country, as you have proven. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Jimmy. It's tough to survive as an illiterate adult.

[–] JimmyStrudel (600) 5 years ago

Won’t read and can’t read are two different things. Now stop obsessing over me you creep.

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

Thoughts and prayers are with you, kid. Illiteracy is a major problem.

lmao, the "two white men" were two Nigerians.

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

Maybe they were white Nigerians...

Police said they are still working with Smollett’s attorneys to schedule a time for that follow-up interview.

Chicago police have said they want to speak to Smollett again, because of “new evidence” learned from interrogating two men once considered potential suspects in the case. Police said Smollett is not considered a suspect, detectives just want to interview him to corroborate the new information they received from the two men who were released.

Has the OP come back and admitted he rushed to judgment yet?

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

No I’m holding out to see how this all plays out. There are many sides to this story , many accusations, many changes. However, the one constant is that Jussie has stuck by the same story for the past three weeks. The CPD and the two Nigerians seem to vary their stories. So I’m going to see how this finishes.

How about you?

[–] PrimeMinisterX (8306) 5 years ago

I'm cool with that. I'd say that's how it should be.

We'll stand by and see how it all shakes out.

[–] not_a_virus.exe (1267) 5 years ago

once it finishes, which should be soon now that hes no longer a victim in his own story according to police, you will come back and admit you were wrong and rushed to judgement right?

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

[deleted]

[–] not_a_virus.exe (1267) 5 years ago

well thats the case with all lefties isnt it? theyll rush to any story that makes trump or his supporters look bad, and then bail like cowards when they realize they shot themselves in the foot. just take a look at the brett kavenaugh case, or the stormy daniels case, have any of them made an honest "oops we were wrong, sorry" since? Of course not. their pride is their biggest failure. they cant even admit they were wrong about trump for christs sake. they'd rather he plunged america into a third world war than admit hes actually good for america.

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

Who knows, by some freak set of circumstances this could flip right back on the other end (however unlikely I feel that turn out will be).

I must give you credit for your psychic abilities.

No they will deflect to something unrelated and try to argue that instead - standard operating procedure.

[–] Padeen (6459) 5 years ago

Indicted for Felony by a Grand Jury. I think the facts are out, doggie, so how about that admitting to that rushing to judgement thing?

[–] Galilguy (2332) 5 years ago

Doggiedick WRONG as usual!!!

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

“Today, all criminal charges against Jussie Smollett were dropped and his record has been wiped clean of the filing of this tragic complaint against him,” his legal team said in a statement to Variety. “Jussie was attacked by two people he was unable to identify on January 29th. He was a victim who was vilified and made to appear as a perpetrator..."

[–] Padeen (6459) 5 years ago

I know, I heard earlier today. I really hope your not chalking this up as a political victory, because this is a huge slap in the face to the Chicago Police Department and the citizens of Chicago. Both the Police Chief and Mayor are livid and calling it a "whitewash of justice."

If he's innocent, which I don't think anyone with half a brain cell could agree upon with a straight face, its strange he agreed to forfeit his 10 grand bond.

I'm sure more will come out in the coming days and we can only hope the feds can find his DNA on the letter he supposedly mailed to himself.

[–] LordBAElish (2015) 5 years ago

How can this be a political win? Its a big time loss for Doggie and the left. Fake news story that they boasted about and Jussie made the whole thing up

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

Not sure how all 16 charges being dropped and Smollett being exonerated is a 'big time loss' for anyone (but you). I guess justice works only for T-rump this week and not Smollett because your head is exploding?

[–] LordBAElish (2015) 5 years ago

I don't really care that he got bailed out because of his privilege. Its a big L for you because he believe he was actually attacked, which was proved to be a hoax.

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

No hoax proven.

Jussie has been cleared and vindicated. You have lost.

Try again.

[–] LordBAElish (2015) 5 years ago

He was never attacked in the first place, so yes it is a hoax.

Try again

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

He maintains his innocence - just like T-rump does.

Your turn.

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

Not political - just a win (a big win) for Jussie, who has maintained his innocence all along.

[–] Padeen (6459) 5 years ago

I wouldn't call this a win. Prosecutors are saying he still lied and the only reason they aren't following through, is because it wasn't a violent crime and he already did community service. The Mayor is strongly hinting at corruption as well. There are emails and texts that have leaked today showing Jussie's family, who have connections in high places, asked State Attorney Kim Foxx for help.

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

Then let's call it what T-rump is calling his own "win" - COMPLETE EXONERATION and VINDICATION.

Of course, we don't have the 'transparency' to see the emails and texts T-rump and his team sent to the Department of Justice, do we ? They're keeping that hidden.

[–] Padeen (6459) 5 years ago

See, you are turning this political. Everything is about Trump with you.

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

I'm talking about two high-profile cases that concluded in a similar fashion this week.

One is concerning a politician, one is concerning a Hollywood actor.

Do you want me to change the current occupation of T-rump to make you happy?

[–] Padeen (6459) 5 years ago

Wanna talk about politics? Ok. I didn't vote for the guy, nor do I want to see him reelected, but watching hateful liberals squirming right now because they didn't get their impeachment dream from the Mueller Report is great entertainment. Instead of obsessing about collusion which never happened, how about focusing on the issues and putting together some comprehensive plans on how to run this country properly? If the Democrats have any chance at winning in 2020, they need to stop with the fucking smear tactics and present us with a winnable candidate and realistic ideas. If they keep doing what they're doing, it will be 4 more years of Trump.

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

I don't want to talk about politics, nor am I talking about politics.

Once again: I'm talking about two high-profile cases that concluded in a similar fashion this week.

Not sure - nor do I have any interest - why you want to make this political. But have at it, if it makes you feel good. Let it all out...maybe your life will be better. Who knows, who cares?

[–] Padeen (6459) 5 years ago

"Maybe you life will be better." HAHAHA this coming from the dude who spends half his life in the Trump Forum on Moviechat. Must be SO fulfilling! You sir, are the one who needs to get a life.

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

I have one, thank you. One which allows me flexible time, and is very fulfilling. Don't need yours, so keep it to yourself and work on making it better.

[–] Padeen (6459) 5 years ago

Starting post, after post, after post, after post about Trump doesn't sound very fulfilling. I would definitely use my time more wisely. There's no logical reason to get your panties in a twist over something that is out of your control.

[–] JimmyStrudel (600) 5 years ago

Fair enough. I’m going with my gut feeling that because the police took it to a grand jury and came out in public condemning Jussie so harshly is because they’ve found a mountain of evidence against Jussie that the public isn’t aware of yet. I predict he gets probation at worst, a PR rehab stint citing mental illness of some sort maybe for drugs who knows. Buuuut Jussie seems like the deranged type to double down and never admit guilt so this could possibly go to a trial. If he’s found guilty there then he will definitely go to jail.

[–] corey (726) 5 years ago

Turns out its all just a fairy tale

This forum and thread went dead fast.

[–] richmeng (47) 5 years ago

How much hate did you have for Obama? Trump does more for blacks than any president, does more for America than most presidents, and IS YOUR president, not just the one of "fans". Do you support your country and the leader that was elected? I even did under Obama. Don't get infected with TDS.

[–] Bubbathegut (17228) 5 years ago

I support America and I don't care what anyone thinks.

[–] TheUltimateHippo (2250) 5 years ago

Turns out he fabricated the whole thing and is looking at serious jail time. Next time wait for the facts to come in before making an ass of yourself kiddo

[–] Bubbathegut (17228) 5 years ago

Its hilarious that all the supporters of Jussie have vanished.
