| Possible hoax? |
His injuries are real. This isn’t a hoax. But I don’t think it was random either. He was targeted. |
| Something smells here. |
| So it was 2am, they wore ski masks and gloves, and yet he knew that they were white? Somehow his attackers knew that he will visit a Subway at 2 am, and came prepared with rope and bleach. What is the point of bleach, if he is fully clothed and outside? Were they trying to bleach his coat? They tied a rope around his neck and then ran away? He walked himself to the hospital, and was released in good condition. None of it makes any sense. Maybe it was staged by TMZ? |
| Fake. Makes no sense at all. Nothing about this story is logical. My guess is he was in on it. Chicago is MAGA country? Please. |
Honestly I hate to be a cynic but I agree. We’ve had so many stories like this turn out to be false lately that it’s hard to believe without learning more. |
So is Shaun King. |
| His career has stalled. Possible PR move? |
You know you can still see some skin through a ski mask,sometimes,right? Also the bleach and rope were used as racist symbols. If you need further explanation, they used to through bleach on AA skin bc dark skin was “less than” and the rope, well you know what lynching is right? |
So, his attackers were out and about in arctic cold weather toting bleach and a rope.... If Smollett was dressed for the frigid cold weather, how did his attackers recognize him? It was supposedly a very dark area. But, he was still able to see some skin? Sure. You do know that no area cameras have captured any images of the attachers, right? |
| Was the rope still around his neck when he got to the hospital? |
| I call bs to this staged attack. |
I read that was the case. But you know how that goes. What's true one minute is false the next. |
| I think the reports of them being white was media rumor. I saw a report today that said he didn't see the subjects well enough to know their race. |
It obviously was not random since he was threatened. |
