Is it possible he's not involved but some others he knew staged this whole thing? It would explain a lot of things. But why would people he knows deliberately attack him allowing him to believe he was the victim of a homophobic racist attack?

Sorry but I had to laugh at this. Imagine a Southerner out in subzero weather with just a sweatshirt????
......and cut-offs and flip-flops looking for the Harry Carey statue outside Wrigley Field.......LOL !

Police won't demand 'Empire' actor Jussie Smollett turn over cellphone

Headline reads that Chicago Police will not demand that his cell phone be turned over. Even though it's clear that to have the audio of the "attack" would be beneficial in capturing these "attackers".

Ellen Page blames Mike Pence for Jussie Smollett attack: ‘He has hurt LGBTQ people’

Teary eyed actress Ellen Page went on television last night and blamed Vice President Mike Pence for the attack on the "star"/victim.

The “Flatliners” star then attempted to link Mr. Pence’s record on gay rights to the reported attack against Mr. Smollett.
“Connect the dots,” she said. “This is what happens. If you are in a position of power and you hate people and you want to cause suffering to them, you go through the trouble, you spend your career trying to cause suffering, what do you think is going to happen?”

Well, that didn't take long.

Jussie said he didn't want to report the attack.

He also said he kept the rope around his neck for evidence for when he reported the attack.

Imagine you were an attacker, and you decided to attack your co-worker, who you work with every day.
Do you not think that they way you walk, talk, and general aroma would not arouse suspicion in the victim? That the victim wouldn't get that "hey, I know you" or "something is so familiar about that guy"...
This alleged victim only gave the vaguest description which fit the parameters of about half of the men in the City of Chicago.

.@fox32news has learned from @Chicago_Police that the 2 persons of interests they are talking to were an extra on #Empire and his close friend. They were picked up at the airport and are the ones in surveillance video.

Well, Jussie did say he's positive the two men in the footage are his attackers.....so I guess he knows this because he knows them. I wonder why he didn't tell LE he knew his attackers?

I wonder why he didn't tell CPD his friends were lurking around outside of the building?

Huh. Well, so much for racism being a motive for this attack.

Wait,what?? One of the men in the videos is from the show Empire?? One of the men that had on a ski mask and also a MAGA hat?? My head is spinning. I believed this man 100% when it first came out. I don't understand this whole story.

There was no MAGA hat. That was a whisper-down-the-lane error in media reporting. They shouted "This is MAGA country!" (Which apparently Jussie thinks is a racist statement)

Doubt it. This will disappear from sight faster than the publicity agency can blink. Just wait.

This morning on GMA:

Says he doesn't know how he'll heal if the attackers aren't found "lets just hope that they are, lets not go there yet". Talks about that they could attack someone else. He still wants to believe in justice
