As of Tuesday evening, police said they had yet to find surveillance video that showed the crime. "Thus far, no video of the alleged assailants or a vehicle has been discovered but we are continuing to broaden our search," Chicago Police Department spokesperson Anthony Guglielmi said on Twitter.

My favorite detail so far:

But his manager eventually called at 2:42 a.m., about 40 minutes after the attack. When officers showed up at the apartment, the rope was still around Smollett’s neck, said Guglielmi, who described the rope as a “thin, light rope.” Guglielmi said the rope didn’t necessarily resemble a noose

Apparently there are racist and homophobic ghosts.

"So far, in a place so far with a high number of private surveillance cameras, they cannot find any images of the two alleged attackers. After combing through hundreds of hours of videos, the only image of Smollett police obtained from security cameras was inside the Subway sandwich shop near the location of the reported crime — and he was standing alone."

The only time I've ever given a shit about the nuances of f*male anatomy is when I was doing a hard guro/vore RP where I needed to remember how to spell the parts of her reproductive system that my character was eating.

I'm pretty sure it was the MAGA kid

Mike Pence was seen in the area.

Beer-daddy was there too. Baitin'.

He can’t keep getting away with it!

With Ben Shapiro on the controls

Omg. See I KNEW he was evil. I just had a woman’s intuition about him. How much will this country suffer at his hands. 😥😰😓

As a trans-woman, that smirk induced a feeling of deep unsettlement within me. I felt the years of oppression my former womyn faced at the hands of the patriarchy, all embodied in that smirk.

no it was sam hyde

He can't keep getting away with it

Idk man, has anyone seen Sam Hyde lately? Could totally be him and the hacker known as 4chan

After all, it was you and me.

I do crazy things when I black out

Hit him with his eye lasers just like that indian fellow.

“This is MAGA country,”

Chicago

I am not from burgerland but isn't that a little bit weird, isn't chicago something like 99% diverse ?

I think the crime rates in that city make it obvious that it is.

Upboated :)

Inshallah, Chiraq has fallen to our forces. This surely is a sign that Allah is pleased with our efforts. The diversification will continue until moral improves

negros are a less powerful, but still terrible, manifestation of the mayos

That’s like saying light is a manifestation of dark. Total non sequitur

You think means racism doesn't exist?

"Chicago" generally refers to a big goddamn area that includes a bunch of stupidly affluent suburbs as well as some of the worst ghettos in the country.

Basically, it's an American city.

Not where this crime happened, it's north of the loop, the loops is where business happens and blackos are all kept on the south side of the loop.

the loops is where business happens

lmao you sound like a low-level drug dealer

(Can I have some drugs?)

Chicago is so left that we don't even run Republican candidates for most things. We have 20 something mayoral candidates and not a single one of them is on the right.

we only have record of them shouting racial and homophobic slurs at him

MAGA sounds like the new N word.

Hands up don't MAGA

I'm gonna say the n word

Naga

maga plzz....

we only have record of them shouting racial and homophobic slurs at him

It's going to be two black guys isn't it?

Two letters

No u

Nigge🅱️

Don’t be niggardly

I imagine they probably called him the first one. I mean the dude doesn't look like a pineapple at all so the second one wouldn't make any sense.

"jacob-i mean thomas. make sure to kick this goy, i mean, this uh, nigger faggot again. MAGA!"

"yes abraham-i mean louis. MAGA!"

Updated at 7:30 p.m.: Chicago PD now tell me via email that "in the initial reports there was no mention of MAGA," but "when detectives follow[ed] up with him later in the day, he recalled the offender[s] making those comments and detectives completed a supplemental report." It would appear that earlier statements by the police were erroneous. I have changed the headline of this article to reflect new information, and await a statement from Smollett himself.

More like brace yourself for the retraction of the retraction

And then the retraction of said retracted retraction

Hahahah. Now let's see how reddit decides to completely ignore this little piece of the story.

Eh, the Chicago PD already retracted the retraction. MAGA country back on the menu.

Now they will care about the first retraction lol

Everybody has now something to care about. Equality.

Fucks sake.

get owned by gamergate bitch

uh... excuse me. Gamergate only rapes and kills femoids and game journalists.

somehow this all seems a bit...contrived

Cops can only find the "victim" on one CCTV feed. They can't find the "attackers" on any video. I'm suspicious.
