“Empire" actor Jussie Smollett was attacked in the early morning hours on Tuesday in what Chicago police are calling a possible hate crime.

Smollett was attacked by two people "yelling out racial and homophobic slurs" and "poured an unknown chemical substance on the victim," police said.

According to police, one of Smollett's alleged attackers also put a rope around his neck. Both fled the scene.

Smollett took himself to Northwestern Hospital and "is in good condition," police told CNN.

Later Tuesday, CNN's Don Lemon spoke to Smollett and a mutual friend who was at the hospital with the actor. Smollett confirmed the incident took place.

He was shaken and angry that an attack like this could happen. Smollett told CNN he fought back at the attackers.

"Given the severity of the allegations, we are taking this investigation very seriously and treating it as a possible hate crime," the police statement said.

Smollett has starred on Fox's "Empire" since 2015. He plays Jamal, a successful singer in the musical Lyon family. Like his character, Smollett identifies as gay.

"We are deeply saddened and outraged to learn that a member of our 'Empire' family, Jussie Smollett, was viciously attacked last night," a representative of 20th Century Fox Television and Fox Entertainment said in a statement to CNN. "We send our love to Jussie, who is resilient and strong, and we will work with law enforcement to bring these perpetrators to justice. The entire studio, network and production stands united in the face of any despicable act of violence and hate -- and especially against one of our own."

A representative for GLAAD told CNN the organization has reached out Smollett to offer assistance and support.

"Jussie is a true champion for LGBTQ people and is beloved by the community and allies around the world," a GLAAD spokesperson said in a statement.

Welp most of my faith in the justice system has went from minimal to absolute zero. I'm starting to believe the elderly near where I live used to talk about the good old days (Vigilante justice) days, extreme or not, I understand why now.

I dunno. I think I just lost all my faith in the DNC and will never vote blue again.

Look at that diverse crowd.

Son of Jesse Jackson? Can you imagine admitting that in public?

Jesse Jackson is another race-baiting hoaxing piece of shit, so him and Jussie are on the same page:

Someone really needs to kneecap that mofo. What a horrendous asshole. He's thumbing his nose at police and society at large, knowing that he's untouchable because Obama gave him an 'get out of jail free' card, and because of his black privilege.

Kim Foxx cleans Jussie Smollett up, the Chicago Way

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel calls out the Cook County state's attorney's office for its decision to drop charges against actor Jussie Smollett.

Because when I think "community service for lawbreakers" the first place my mind goes is "working with children" and definitely not "picking up trash on the side of the road, perhaps risking being struck by a semi passing at 65 MPH".

Speaking of Jesse Jackson, there was that conspiracy theorist, the late Steve Cokely, who had once suspected then Jesse Jackson played a part in MLK assassination.

FBI is investigating

CHICAGO (WLS) -- The FBI is reviewing the circumstances surrounding the dismissal of criminal charges against "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett, two law enforcement officials confirmed.

All 16 felony disorderly conduct counts against Smollett for allegedly lying to police were dropped Tuesday in exchange for community service and forfeiture of his $10,000 bond payment. A hearing Wednesday to expunge his criminal record has been delayed.

Question for the lawfags here - if these charges were found to be fraudulently dismissed, does double jeopardy still apply, or can he still be locked away for these crimes?

Two law enforcement officials briefed on the matter tell @ABC the FBI is reviewing circumstances surrounding dismissal of criminal charges against Jussie Smollett. ABC News is told this is not an investigation. It is a "review" or "inquiry".

'not an investigation', so basically 'we are pussies and are owned by obama'.

None of this is normal—even for Crook County where I was an Assistant State’s Attorney. Educated guess: this hoax implicated someone very important who had pull with the State’s Attorney, and who very badly did not want to be implicated.

Spoiler: hound it

Since he was never tried, the charges can be reinstated easily.

Naw, it's not about being owned by Obama. It's about protecting the establishment and not rocking the boat.

If a DNC darling gets smacked down, then there will be a revenge smackdown against an RNC darling, and on and on.

 

[pwnest injun]

LMAO if the reason they have to cover the whole thing up is that the original coverup was handled so poorly that it would get actual important people in trouble.

The worst hate hoax topped off with the worst coverup.

Naw, it's not about being owned by Obama. It's about protecting the establishment and not rocking the boat.

Its in the interest of the establishment to stoke racial tensions so that poor people of different races don't realize their commonality. It's against their interests to get people so pissed off that they start acting outside of the system's authority. It's a real balancing act.

CWBChicago researchers today located eight recent cases that align closely with Smollett’s. Like Smollett, each of these individuals had no prior adult criminal charges in Cook County. The alleged incidents took place in Chicago and were handled by Chicago police. Each defendant was charged with only one crime: a single felony count of disorderly conduct-filing a false police report (720 ILCS 5.0/26-1-A-4). Smollett was charged with sixteen counts under the same statute.

The prosecutor who took over the Smollett case when Foxx stepped aside, Joe Magats, said Tuesday that the resolution Smollett enjoys “is available to all defendants; it's not something out of privilege; it's not something out of clout."

Yeah, that really just looks like Jussie inexplicably got an infinitely better deal than anyone else with a similar case in the recent past. This story was already interesting to follow, but after seeing all the charges just get dropped in the blink of an eye for no discernible reason, I'm very interested in where it goes from here.

They aren't even really similar. He had 16 felony counts, the rest had one. I wonder if Kim Foxx is going to sleep soundly tonight.

She will sleep fine in a nest made from Soros's cash. No one from Chicago has a conscience.

They can vacate the sentence and recharge him.

Pre-pleas like this aren't unheard of, but 16 hours for this kind of crime is rediculous. The fix was absolutely in.

If a DNC darling gets smacked down, then there will be a revenge smackdown against an RNC darling, and on and on.

I figured it was more a matter of someone saying "Prosecuting a Gay POC in Dem Country is problematic, more-so if he's convicted. Make this go away." or "Drop this or else I'll have BLM/etc. protesting the whole time the case is ongoing. And, I can't guarantee they won't riot in response to a conviction."

Given how much site content relates to the Oppression Olympics and the idea that those seen as oppressed and unprivileged can do no wrong, it's not surprising - yet horrifying - to see a prosecuting attorney with SJW leanings opt for meaningless, feel-good "restorative justice" here even if she wasn't being pressured behind the scenes (by back channels as lolcow Brianna Wu would say) to make this go away ASAP with no negative consequences for Jussie.

As someone might have said earlier in the thread, anyone claiming white or male privilege needs to be reminded about the green privilege ? enjoyed by Jussie so far. One hopes the Feds haven't abandoned the mail case if there's enough credible evidence to continue to pursue it.
