I have questions.
TMZ has the initial story.
We’re later told the attackers were wearing ski masks and MAGA hats. That doesn’t even sound logistically practical.
And, in this hate crime of opportunity, in the freezing cold, in Chicago, of all places, the attackers had a noose and bleach at the ready?
Mainstream reporters are already sharing the story, and using it to criticize America, though the details are unconfirmed.
Sources directly connected to Jussie tell TMZ, the actor arrived in Chicago from New York late Monday, and at around 2 AM he was hungry and went to a Subway. We're told when he walked out, someone yelled, "Aren't you that f***ot 'Empire' n*****?" The 2 men -- both white and wearing ski masks -- viciously attacked Jussie as he fought back, but they beat him badly and fractured a rib. They put a rope around his neck, poured bleach on him and as they left they yelled, "This is MAGA country."

I know I make it a point to carry around a spare bottle of Clorox.

JFC. Confirming that they are looking into it is not the same as confirming it happened, or happened as described.

The Chicago PD is just being politically correct by investigating it as a hate crime? Police usually don’t release statements and start investigations on things made up out of thin air. Something happened. Don’t know what yet.

Something happened. Don’t know what yet. He went to the ER on his own. No word yet on whitnesses or video corroboration. If he truly has a broken rib, then “something” likely did happen. Doesn’t mean it was a random attack on the street by ski mask wearing MAGA men, in the freezing cold, at 2:00AM. Could even be a domestic violence incident. Who knows, but the story, as told does not add up. And, yes, given the claim, and high profile nature of the alleged victim, of course they are investigating, and likely put out the statement based on media inquiries.

I haven’t seen the address yet, but for a Subway to be open at 2:00AM, it would have to be in a busy area, where I would expect there will be video.

Except your last paragraph. They released a pretty specific statement.

It's pretty clear he was attacked though, right? You can't really break your own rib.
