I think he was set up! Seems like a good fall guy for Trump and his goons.

They will probably try to implement hoax hate crimes laws and use them to persecute minorities.

Me and some of my portland antifa friends are trying to raise some funds for his defense team. Where is Johnny Cochran when you need him?

I thought it was pretty suspect when I read he left the rope on his neck till the police arrived. Who does that?

Sick theory! Any thoughts on how this False Flag Operation might fit into Trump's overarching master plan to discredit black actors that few people have even vaguely heard of?

No one knew? Jussie is arguably one of the strongest lgtbq+ leaders in the black community. This is EXACTLY who the trumpians would target!

Btw if I came out and said this any time before now. I would have had +rep and the rest of the bloviating thought police all over me as bad as the time I dared question if clock boy knew he was pretending to bring a bomb to class.

I think this story is very much a wait and see at the moment - until the Police or Jussie make a further statement it's all just speculation.

The whole story is a bit fishy but there are really only 2 scenarios

A. It really happened
or
B. It was a hoax.

If trumpians targeted him then it's option A. I can't see how it could be "setup" by pro-Trump supporters - can you explain how that would work?

Yes, I'll explain. It's likely the Nigerians are FBI or CIA operatives that are working with higher ups in the executive branch to foment dissent. They typiclly use foreign covers so they can be easily deported and no one will question it.

The trump administration paid them to get on the show, befriend jussie, and then betray him in a "hoax" attack. Basically, they lied to the police to frame jussie for Trump's other motives. Those motives are to discredit people of color nd lgbtq+ community. I think Ellen Page might be next.

Also if you think this is a conspiracy theory the FBI did this in the 60's by following and surveillining left wing activists.

For sure. Trump is very detail-oriented like that. And a false flag on some actor most people have never heard of is diabolically unsuspected.

Pull the hair out of your eyes.

The internet encourages this behaviour where bubbles form in which everyone shares the same view and then people start thinking they're part of an important movement. That's how you get pizzagate and Q and it's how you get people thinking that something called a Jussie Smollett is a plausible target for a CIA black op.

Trump can barely speak. He is literally a senile incoherent mess. If he gets through a full day without ****ting his pants it's a win. He ain't orchastrating anything.

You guys realize the Senate just passed an anti lynching bill? They are trying to kill it with a "hoax" lynching. Follow the signs.

This poster I've never seen before makes interesting points that shake my faith in perceived reality.

Lest we focus on one small inconsequential tree and lose track of the gigantic forest.

Ex *clap* act *clap* ly *clap*

turtle, you’re joking, right?

have you read the part about how the cops slow played jussie on the phone records?

in his first report, smollet said he was on phone w manager at time of attack. cops asked for his phone. he refused. The cops got the phone records from the cell company on their own but they were still asking Jussie for the phone. Jussie eventually agreed to give them a homemade spreadsheet of all his calls that week. HE LEFT OFF THE CALLS to/from the guys! so the cops had their starting point right away.

also these guys (at least one of them) were extras on Empire jussie was friends with them. followed them on instagram. there are vids of them hanging in jussies apt bldg

He's not joking - he's doing his part to keep focus on this tiny meaningless winning issue for the right (either wittingly or unwittingly) - while Trump robs the coffers and destroys the country.

It passed the Senate 100-0 and will pass the House also when they vote on it. But a "hoax" lynching will somehow kill it off - wat?

Who is "They" in the "they are trying to kill it" - the Deepstate?

Is lynching currently legal that we need an anti lynching bill? I can believe it about you guys.

Not even Trump is that dumb.

What "cause" is this of which you speak?

Uhhh I have exactly zero posts on this site about jussie and whoever the **** "clock boy" is

You should think about me less, it's super weird

I think this was the last person charged with lynching.



Not kidding.

Doesn't help that there seems to be 2 definitions of lynching.

The article microbet linked to - lynching is the legal term associated with trying to free a prisoner from police custody - who knew? - but the Senate bill is about the other one - premeditated extrajudicial killing by a group (the rope around the neck one).

Is it a double lynching if a group tries to free a prisoner by means of a rope around the neck?
