Twitter Users React To Twisted Jussie’s Story

Social media has been finding it hard to keep up with the twists and turns of Jussie Smollett‘s alleged attack.

Speaking last week on ‘Good Morning America’, Smollett said:

“At first, it was like, ‘Listen, if I tell the truth, then that’s it, because it’s the truth,’ ” Smollett said.

“Then it became a thing of, like, ‘Oh, how can you doubt that, like how do you not believe that. It’s the truth.’ And then it became a thing of, like, ‘Oh, it’s not necessarily that you don’t believe that this is the truth, you don’t even want to see the truth.’ ”

But following the arrest and subsequent release of two Nigerian men, the investigation has taken a sharp twist and now it is being reported that Jussie Smollett could have paid the two men to attack him (allegedly.)

Despite the inconsistencies, I can’t blindly believe Chicago PD. The department that covered up shooting Laquan McDonald over a dozen times? That operated an off-site torture facility? That one? I’ll wait. Whatever the outcome, this won’t stop me from believing others. It can’t.

I’m not sure if this Jussie Smollett case is a hoax or not and I pray that it isn’t, but I can’t help wishing this same energy was put into Ferguson Activist Darren Seals murder when he was found shot in the head and burned in his Jeep Wrangler on 9/6/2016. #WhoKilledDarrenSeals pic.twitter.com/7CWcHouLcf
