There's no way they can stand by that in light of new information
You mean to tell me, he may have lied? Someone would do that? Lie for attention about volitile subjects?
I feel bad for everyone that was openly skeptical about the situation if it turns out he lied.

Why? One fake or questionable "backwards b" hardly erases the actual shit that happens to people every day and the actual stuff our president does and says.
No, that isn't the point. The point is faking attacks like this (especially when you are a celebrity) only furthers the divide. You said it, shit like this happens every day so why are you faking something? This just draws attention away from the actual problem.
Things like that are just going to increase the flood of "I told you so" and "I knew something was off" posts that pop up after something like this.
Yea, but this one will blow up and you know it as well if this turns out to be true.
The right doesn't care what Trump does and his presidency is clearly protecting and shielding him so far from all the shit that has surfaced. Trump has done so much shit that it has become normalized it seems. Any other president or Dem president would've been gone imho.
Edit: what Doomsayer said as well.
It isn't necessarily faked. The two guys could have done it to him without his knowledge. Although how would they have known he'd leave his room at 2:00am? From the start, this was a weird occurrence.
Bruh, If these fools really spun some Empire cast drama as a racist and homophobic Maga attack...
If this incident was faked or some onset drama gone too far, we will never hear the end of it from racist assholes.
I would say you're right but TMZ is running with this as well minus the conspiracy like someone mentioned earlier.
So is WGN in Chicago. Hardly a right wing conspiracy site.
And CPD (per TMZ) is billing them as persons of interest not suspects.
The site that was linked on the last page is what people are reacting to...and they're reacting to the conspiracy part from the suspect blog.
CWBChicago is a site that has leaked a ton of stuff that has proved to be accurate before. But it's basically run by cops themselves. It's likely at least a working theory of theirs if it's on their site. So it's a lot better than your basic blog and provides ton of inside info you wont see anywhere, but may be prone to biases. The TMZ corroborating some info is interesting. We will see where it goes.
I used to live in his building. I just cant seen what he says happening around there, personally.

Nothing suspect about anonymous Chicago police worried about crime reporting. Nothing at all
So they tracked these two guys to the exact location Jussie was at using ride service records and then noted they immediately flew out of town after the attack . And then were waiting for them upon their return. That's good police work.
The police didn't buy Jussie's story from the start. They were on the case of the false report from the moment he walked out of the station after reporting an assault. We'll see if the instincts of the police were correct soon enough.
If it was staged then that's an incredibly shitty thing to do considering the context of race relations in America at present...
I only just heard about this on GMA today, but the only way I can see Jussie's story still being credible is if the Nigerians are white, or don't have a noticable accent.
Reporting from verified news outlets...not blogs.
Literally a talk show radio host
The point still stand thoughs. It's always best to wait until more news comes out before blaming the victim.
Like now you can call Jussie a total and utter trash for creating this whole mess while giving more ammo to the racists and bigots.
Story didn't make any sense when it was being reported that he was seen on surveillance video entering his building after the attack STILL HOLDING THE SUBWAY SANDWICH!
I'm sorry but if I have my $5 foot long and I'm getting jumped and the shit beaten out of me I'm not grabbing that trashed ass sandwich and taking it home with me.
