half of them are now suddenly doing the "We need to wait for all the facts before passing judgment" thing. The other half are claiming this is a setup by racist Chicago PD
I blame Russian influence inside the NRA and plastic straws. So...Trumps fault.
Trump's fault? What am I? Chopped liver?

Hawkmoon - Never underestimate another person's capacity for stupidity. Any time you think someone can't possibly be that dumb ... they'll prove you wrong.
Viking - The problem with the modern world is that there aren't really any predators eating stupid people.
“I still maintain that,” Sharpton said. “And if it is that Smollett and these gentlemen did in some way perpetuate something that is not true, they ought to face accountability to the maximum.”
Sharpton himself has escaped consequences for the role he played in one of the most famous rape and race hoaxes in modern American history.In 1987, teenager Tawana Brawley claimed she was raped by a group of white men who wrote racial slurs on her body, smeared her with feces and wrapped her in a plastic bag. Sharpton jumped to her defense, and the case not only inflamed racial tensions in the U.S., but also launched his career as a prominent race-baiter.As for Sharpton, he was also ordered to pay $65,000 in defamation damages, but the money was paid back by his supporters, after he refused to pay for years.So, in summary: How has Sharpton “faced accountability” for his actions in perpetrating a race and rape hoax? He has his own show on MSNBC, is still asked for comment on issues of race, and had his friends pay off the debts he accrued from perpetrating a hoax.
The two brothers involved in the Jussie Smollett attack told police that Smollett was behind creating a racist letter that was sent to the actor on the set of his show, “Empire,” according to two sources with first-hand knowledge of the investigation.And when that letter did not get a “bigger reaction,” Smollett orchestrated the attack a week later with the two men–Ola and Abel Osundairo, sources said. Also Tuesday, sources said the two brothers were seen on a ride share video camera before being dropped off near the location of the attack.
So apparently, because he's "a consummate professional" on set, 20th Century Fox has no plans to remove him from Empire because of any problems in his personal life.

It is absolutely *essential* that we believe Jussie Smollett. If we don’t, other people who haven’t been attacked might not have the courage to come forward.#IBelieveJussie — Titania McGrath (@TitaniaMcGrath) February 20, 2019

From a quick scroll through her tweets, I'm pretty sure Mz. Mcgrath's is a parody account. But it's getting harder to be sure.
