Look at how much attention has been paid to the Smollett - case and how many police offiers Posted: Feb 20th, 2019 - 6:39 am In Reply to: Well, well, well. Little lying Jussie lawyered up - no shock that Pres. Trump hatred
were wasted on a fake crime.
Something important has been lost in the embarrassing saga of Jussie Smollett, the tuna fish sandwich-loving actor and anti-Trump activist, and those muscular Nigerian brothers.
And I suppose it’s easy to lose what’s important with all the panic and intersectional hatred and liberal identity politics gone bad in this Smollett story.
What’s been lost is this:
I’m told that two dozen detectives were assigned to the Smollett case.
Can Chicago afford that, what with all the unsolved murders and shootings in this town?
No.
There were some 18 people killed in Chicago after Smollett began telling his story in late January, that story in which he cast himself as the hero, about having to fight off pro-Trump racists.
Now it turns out that the pro-Trump racists, who he says put a noose around his neck, may actually be his friends, two muscular Nigerian brothers who may or may not have been paid in this deal.
Either way, his story is he fought them off. Even though he had a cellphone in one hand, a tuna sandwich in the other.
Smollett must be a certified badass. His sandwich survived.
But two dozen detectives assigned to check out his story that he was a victim of a politically inspired pro-Trump hate crime, a story that is unraveling by the second?
Even in Chicago, a city known for its unending violence and political corruption, assigning two dozen detectives seems a bit overdone.
I could go with a lower number — say 20 detectives — given to me by someone who knows.
But that’s still high given all the homicides that are never solved.
Chicago has an abysmal homicide clearance rate of about 17 percent. Chicago’s detective ranks have been decimated by attrition and idiotic shortsighted political management. There aren’t enough detectives...
