Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Tip From Cops, Via Chicago Neighborhood Watch Account: Police Have Identified "Attackers," One of Whom Is a Friend and Fellow Actor of Jussie Smolett's?I don't understand this tip -- are they saying these guys actually attacked Smollet, or that they participated in a staged attack they arranged with Smollet earlier? I'm baffled. I don't know what this means. We also don't know any of this is true; this account says it's just an unconfirmed tip. The neighborhood watch account says police have given them a no-comment on this tip.

Jussie: "On it." Couple days later: Jussie: "Hey, Mr. Manager, stay on the phone, this is gonna be good! Gonna play the race and gay card!" Manager: "Uh, say wut?" Jussie: "Okay, here we go!" Manager: "Oh sh*t!" Jussie: "How was that! Got Maga yelling stuff, whole nine yards!" Manager: "Not what I was talking about and I don't know you any more."

This has been one huge cluster of a Smollette publicity campaign between Smollette and his "manager." However, being complete dumbasses they had no clue about the camera thing. It has now mushroomed and they're scrambling but still excited - no such thing as bad publicity for this pathetic scumbag.

CWBChicago is "Crime in Wrigleyville and Boystown" -- they cover and report on events in those two neighborhoods. From what I gather, there are a large number of gay bars in those areas, and lots of gay bashing from the vibrant yutes of Chicago. That said, Second City Cop cites them for stories the press, police, and politicians don't want covered.
I had to check who they were myself -- if they're reporting this, I give it a bit more credence. Posted by: Rob Crawford at February 14, 2019 05:01 PM (x2bpk) 49

@32: "But, yes, Dem-Dem town, so it won't happen."
It's a wee bit more complicated than that. There's a mayoral election going on this year, and various factions in the political machine have reasons for wanting or not wanting this hoax to implode. My gut says this thing was so fucking clumsy, and the tail of evidence so fucking obvious, that no one will be able to flush it down the unsolved mystery hole.

Um, yeah, those the old nickname Boystown. It's hard to explain just how gay that part of Chicago has been for a very long time without outsiders thinking you're making things up. And it's not just the "yutes" attacking people there. Lots of interracial strife that's kinda sorta intertwined with homophobia, but honestly, some of it's just good, old-fashioned racial disharmony amongst the gays.

Jussie didn't want to show his phone to police
because there are phone calls back and forth at attack time (and in the days before/after) to and from some prominent Chicago dem politicians, perhaps? A plot to smear Trump and boost Empire. It's now a career move to attack a sitting president over a fake hate crime. Posted by: JuJuBee, just generally being shamey at February 14, 2019 05:08 PM (zmIJL) He actually told some CBS hack this morning that he had pictures, videos, and family numbers, etc. on the phone, and WHO KNEW what the po-po might do with that?

Let's get this version clear. 1 - Jussie and a few of his homeys decide to get him some anti-MAGA luv and stage a fake race crime on him. 2 - They do an utterly lame job -- he wanders around for 45 minutes with a "noose" around his neck and doesn't even call the cops. 3 - I have the funny feeling that at this point he's chickening out, calls his manager to say fuck this I'm not that good an actor you call them, so his manager does. 4 - The cops (this is where I'm fuzzy) actually do find something on a security cam and manage to ID -- this is where I get totally fuzzy. They ID two guys who work on Empire who took a Lyft to the scene. How does the timeline work? What-all security cam footage do they have?

Um, yeah, those the old nickname Boystown. It's hard to explain just how gay that part of Chicago has been for a very long time without outsiders thinking you're making things up. And it's not just the "yutes" attacking people there. Lots of interracial strife that's kinda sorta intertwined with homophobia, but honestly, some of it's just good, old-fashioned racial disharmony amongst the gays.

Chicago was arguably the earliest and quickest "big American city" to jump on the CCTV bandwagon. It's not just the city owned cameras, but the network of private property cameras that can and will be easily accessed for major crimes and terrorism investigations. Honestly? I don't think this was a bad Grindr hookup or drug deal gone wrong. I think it was a straight up, lame ass hoax, and these guys both: a) grossly underestimated the strength of the surveillance state throughout most of Chicago; b) overestimated how much the intersectional resistance people would be able to hand wave away any suspicions of a hoax. Say what you will about the Chicago PD, and how racist or politically corrupt they may or may not be, but one things for certain: there are lots of guys and gals who wear the uniform who take it very, very personally when you try to pull one over on them.

How funny if this was, as seems likely, a publicity stunt; but the CPD under pressure to "find those irredeemable villains who attacked our hero" and criticisms that they were not doing enough have found evidence that proves the stunt. Will the friends confess to some sort of a "we wuz just playing a prank on Jussie" excuse and hope to skate? Will they confess to a prank meant to smear MAGA hat wearers/Trump voters and hope to skate cuz of 'good intentions'
Of course if it is either of those possibilities the FNM will run a very short one sentence statement that "the reported attack on Smollet has been determined to be a prank by (name no one ever heard of)" and then never mention the story ever again.

Posted by: DamnedYankee at February 14, 2019 05:27 PM (37IEG) The sugar interacts with the acidity of the tomatoes. If you buy out of a jar, like Barilla or Ragu, you don't need to add the sugar. Posted by: Mark Andrew Edwards, buy ammo at February 14, 2019 05:30 PM (bcbK If you cook the sauce down long enough the natural sugar comes out and concentrates. Hence you do not need to add sugar if you are making sauce from scratch and doing it slowly on a low fire. No sugar. Posted by: J.J. Sefton at February 14, 2019 05:32 PM (zBaqJ) 290

It makes perfect sense. An unhinged, emotionally labile B-list actor wants to get notoriety, play the victim, and denigrate Trump supporters.
So he first sends a "threatening letter" to himself with cut-out letters that he thinks will look like it came from racist Trump supporters (who happen to follow the career of one Jussie Smolett). Then he brainstorms with some buddies about what these racist Trump supporters, who are now stalking him, would do to him if they were to catch him. Well, they'd certainly beat him, they'd threaten to hang him with a noose they're carrying, they'd threaten to bleach his already light skin (which he just happens to be self-conscious of when around other darker-skin blacks), they'd call him a f-g (since they know exactly who he his, being super famous and all), and they would declare ultra-liberal Chicago "MAGA country" (thinking that Trump supporters commonly use the adjective "MAGA" with things other than a hat). So they wait after the letter arrives for a moment when no one is guaranteed to be on the street, and it comes a week later in the form of 2 AM on the coldest night of the year. They stage the fake attack near his house, and he makes sure his agent is on the phone while it is happening to hear what the "attackers" are saying. The agent might not necessarily have even been in on the hoax to start with. However, he never thinks to lose the sandwich that he went out to buy as a pretense for the "attack".

Well, based on the tip putting the word "attacked" in sneer-quotes/doubt-quotes like that, I'd say what the tip is claiming is that this was a pre-arranged fake attack, and that the "friends" were asked to take part,
If these are all actors then I'm sure there are serious union issues at play. Did Jussie pay his attack actors scale? Did he report the payments to the IRS? There are lots of unresolved legal issues, here. And Jussie should probably try and get some white friends of his to pull off a fake raaaaayyyycistyy!!! attack, next time.

Yep, I think you got it. Another thing he forget - that the police actually aren't always complete idiots, that there really are surveillance cameras in the area, and that your cell phone records will tell a whole hell lot more about what you've been up to than you realize they will. Only someone in the acting biz could be stupid enough to think they could pull this off. Any real street thug could have done 10 times as good a job on it than this.

Again, Chicago may be a one party city, but there's a ton of factions, and this is during a hotly contested mayoral election year. There are plenty of folks who'd love to see this blown wide open if it truly is a hoax. Doubly so, if there's any hint of a coverup that can be used against current superintendents. Don't forget that there's a fair amount of tension between the gay and black communities throughout Chicago.

@413: "Equal amounts of salt and sugar. You won't taste the sweetness at all. It just smoothes out any recipe."
Similarly, acids like lemon juice or vinegar, near the end of cooking, help balances things out. Obviously, not needed in a tomato sauce, but key addition to any soups, stews, chilis, curries, etc., that tend to be a little fatty.

Why do these folks keep doing this?
What purpose do they think it serves? Is it there's not enough actual events so they have to fake them? Or is it just that for certain folks it looks like and easy way to garner publicity? Leftists whose entire social status revolve around their victimhood are constantly vying among their peers for position. They have no compunction about lying to give themselves a boost. But what will make any claim to status REALLY POP is a big splashy police investigation! I honestly think that's all there is to it. Groups of idiots like this are constantly lying to each other as part of their power struggle. Actually physically perpetuating a hate crime fraud after telling a thousand little and big lies like that is a small step.

No kidding, and I think it's kinda cute that Jussie honestly believed the CPD couldn't get a hold of his cell phone call logs and geolocation data without a public warrant. If I've learned anything from Law and Order, then it's knowing there's a huge difference between evidence used for investigation, and evidence necessary for prosecution in court, and those two things are often quite different.

Does our little economics expert not understand that that $3 billion was supposed to be generated from the new tax revenues that the 25,000 new Amazon jobs were going to create in NY? Sandy acts as if there was an extra $3 billion just sitting in NY's little pink piggy bank, and they were going to hand it over to the big bad Amazon wolf -- but yay, now they can use it to buy schoolbooks and hot meals for all the little illegal alien kiddies in NY schools!
