    Default 'Empire' actor Jussie Smollett turns self in

    Chicago police spokesman: 'Empire' actor Jussie Smollett turns self in on accusation of making false police report

    Chicago police say "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett has turned himself in to face a charge of making a false police report when he said he was attacked in downtown Chicago by two men who hurled racist and anti-gay slurs and looped a rope around his neck.

    Police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi tells The Associated Press that Smollett turned himself in early Thursday at central booking. Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson plans to hold a morning news conference and Smollett is expected to appear in court later in the day.

    The 36-year-old actor was charged Wednesday.

    The charge could bring up to three years in prison. It could also force the actor, who's black and gay, to pay for the cost of the investigation into his report of a Jan. 29 beating.
    SEDITION: incitement of resistance to or insurrection against lawful authority.

    While Empire actor Jussie Smollett has been having a tough week so far, there appears to be a silver lining: cable news channel CNN has offered Smollett a job as an investigative reporter and on-air anchor after witnessing his skills at fabricating a story entirely out of thin air.

    CNN producers were reportedly impressed throughout the ongoing saga of Smollett’s apparent hoax attack on himself. They realized early on the facts didn’t add up but were fascinated with how well the actor kept the narrative going.
    An HR rep quickly reached out to Smollett to see if he’d be interested in taking on a position at the news organization after news broke that the entire thing was probably fabricated.

    Sorry ... The FBI was a little busy yesterday ... maybe you can call your local Police if you're afraid.

    BTW, you're now worried about Blacks and Gays ... ? When did that start?

    LOL... 'Why would I be "afraid"?
    When did that start? Do you mean "Officially"?

    What do you mean names?

    You think events like this happen in a vacuum? That the next time an attack takes place somewhere in the country the victim might not get the benefit of the doubt because of this event?

    Tell me something, Gezeenius, do you think this helps, or hurts actual victims? I see you still haven't grown a brain.

    He has nothing in common with Trump. Based on what you lefties says, Trump likes pussy and Smollett sucks dicks. See, nothing.

    Should Smollett face the same punishment as the white perpetrators would have faced had it happened the way he said?

    This was an attempt to sow discord and was a false narrative. It was meant to falsely portray a supposed Trump supporter as a racist and homophobic and was meant to divide this country. It was dangerous and should be met with the the maximum penalty.
