That's the problem with virtue signalling. Now we get to see if they're just as quick to condemn him for fanning hate and wasting valuable resources.
-
@antipodean if it had been real, would it be virtue signalling, if it was real it does seem like something that should be condemned

but it wasn't, was it?
-
@antipodean no, but at the time of those posts there was no suggestion someone would be so conniving to plan something like that, and so people have made a comment condemning something everyone though had actually happened, which i wouldn't consider virtue signalling
Good he's been found out though and punished accordingly

I'd counter it is virtue signalling. He was high profile and as such that was the sole reason Biden gave a flying fuck. An opportunity presented itself for the old fluffybunny to demonstrate he likes the gays and blacks a couple of months out from announcing his candidacy.
If Jussie wasn't on TV you'd have never seen it. Let's see if the President is as quick to condemn. I won't hold my breath.

@antipodean I would say there was loads of press because he was on TV and they have responded to that, if they hadn't im sure they would have been asked. seem like a damned if you do damned if you dont situation except this is two years later when a whole lot of unknown and unimaginable facts have surfaced
seem more like something that should be on one of those reddit lists about tweets that didnt age well like those posting on new years how good 2020 was going to be

there was no suggestion
This is not true. Not even close

@duluth there was suspicion immediately after he went to the cops? i dont remember hearing anything until the investigated which took several days
just googling and it says they didn't raid the house of the guys he paid until 2 weeks after these tweets

The cops didn't believe his story from day one, because it was lunacy. He was still wearing the "noose" when the police arrived to his apartment, but he had apparantly eaten the subway sandwich he'd gone out for in sub antarctic weather at 2am (and that's just the start)
Guy is getting what he deserved, same with the virtue signallers that couldn't wait to tweet about it.

@kiwiwomble said in Jussie "MAGA Country" Smollett:
@kirwan i agree he's getting what he deserves
And the people that jumped to conclusions on such a stupid story deserve to be mocked, and those holding office should be apologising. But they won't.
People's lives get ruined by these online mobs, they shouldn't be part of them. Certainly shouldn't be without knowing the facts.

Ummmm - because they were not in the country?
"Investigators learned that these two men were returning to Chicago on Feb. 13 from Nigeria and moved in."
That was two weeks and one day after the Fantasy Attack. Police knew who they were well before that. You will find that reported in the papers, and the rest of it.
The police were sceptical within 24 hours of the complaint, the dogs were barking and you, kiwiwomble, maintain - "... they didn't know he was lying when they posted did they?"- the small p president and his offsider knew nothing of that?
You could put donkeys in charge and they would know better than these dopes to keep their traps shut! One should not be surprised - degenerate li'l joe did the same to Kyle Rittenhouse.
Jan 29 Smollett reports Fantasy Attack to police, described as "reluctant", won't hand over his mobile phone to assist them.
Jan 31 Just two days later ... Smollett and his family start releasing statements and appearing on ABC News to address "frustrations and deep concern with certain inaccuracies and misrepresentations that have been spread". Simultaneously Harris and Biden's statements are made.Don Lemon spots an opportunity and states he was in daily contact "during the early parts of the ... investigation". Smollett testified last week that Lemon had then - in the first few days of Feb 2019 - warned him that the police did not believe him.
Feb 13 Police arrest brothers returning from Nigeria on arrival at airport.
Feb 14 Smollett is called in and re-interviewed by Chicago police.
Feb 15 Police release the Nigerians without charge.
Feb 21: Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson calls a press conference, commences with "I wish the families of gun violence got this much attention." and gives Our Juicy both barrels for being a grubby little turd. -

As I have said the stuff I read, which seems to be less in depth than some of you, didn’t suggest they were sceptical within 24 hours, but if they were and I just didn’t see it reported then fair play
He wasn’t President then though so I don’t know how much he would have had access to ongoing police investigations, especially within 24 hours, just seems more likely a reactive text to all the press
