So.....this is the noose?

It's hard to believe that they used the entire 50 foot roll of clothesline with most of it still in the factory coil.

I had imagined a much shorter length with an actual hangman's knot. The original leaked reports said that it was brand new clothesline and pristine straight from the package. It was also said to be tied more like a Windsor knot.

But now seeing this, it's more ridiculous than anything. This rope is like the poison powder letter. Both are a satire of an actual threat.

Like an "armed robbery" using a pointed index finger and the thumb sticking up. What's that? The hammer and the barrel, stupid!

that they were trying to do exactly what I stated they would try. that's all. seemed pretty self explanatory since I highlighted the sentence that confirms it. not sure what you're getting at.

I don't think it's clear they were trying what you said they would try.

It seems like the writers were thinking about it, and then the showrunner said it wasn't going to happen.

Giving them the benefit of the doubt, I'm thinking they had a thought " a noose isn't really a weapon is it? Maybe we need to make it look like a....tactical noose? Like something a grand wizard would carry around for combat lynchings."

Okay, sure.

I was thinking of something more along the lines of a formal strategy by the producers. "We're going to try to keep him on, but if there's too much backlash, we'll go with plan B."

Very different from, "yeah the writers have been kicking around some ideas, but the truth is it's never gonna happen."

The entire right side of the picture has dozens of hangman's knots!!!111!! kinda sorta
 
Allegedly the person who made the 911 call worked for Smollett.

Previously I had been thinking that maybe Condo Guy ruined the entire thing by calling the cops instead of just commiserating with Smollett.

But there's an alternate hypothesis, that Smollett wanted Condo Guy to make the 911 call so that Smollett himself wouldn't be on the hook for filing a false police report. "I never called 911! My assistant friend? Yeah, I guess he must have misunderstood what was going on."
 
Came across this write-up:
The Most Shocking Revelations From the Unsealed Jussie Smollett Court Docs

Among other things, the hot sauce bottle was apparently one of the props.

• The police note that Smollett had changed his story about what allegedly happened on the night of January 29. According to notes dated February 14, Smollett described one alleged attacker as “pale” and wearing a mask. Previously, he told police that the attacker was white. When Smollett was shown photos of two brothers police had picked up for the attack, Abimbola and Olabinjo Osundairo, Smollett denied that they were the attackers because they were “black as sin.”

• The brothers testified that they left the clothes they wore during the alleged attack in Nigeria, their native country, which they both traveled to soon after the incident. They also said they filled an empty bottle of El Yucateco hot sauce with bleach and used clothesline for rope during the alleged attack. Smollett had initially told investigators that the attackers tied a noose around his neck and poured bleach on him while shouting racist and homophobic slurs and championing “MAGA country.”

Nothing particularly "shocking" though. It does confirm that he originally said that at least one of the attackers was white, and also that he didn't believe that the Osundairo brothers could be the attackers because of the color of their skin. (Surely there's nobody left who still believes him, right?)

Black as sin....

Who other than my racist uncle ( everyone's racist uncle) uses that phrase?

We have a racist talking guy who falsely charges 2 black guys, and gives right wing racists a great new talking point. With how things went in Boston, maybe he can get a job as the head of a white pride March.

The prosecutor waived prosecution in lieu of community service and time served (I think).

This raises obvious questions about what he was serving for, if no crime had been proven. I guess the community service is he worked a book promotion event for an ally?

I don't believe that there was any mandatory community service as part of the deal. The only thing he forfeited was part of his bail money, I believe. If it was, it was "community service" only in the loosest sense of the word. Not the kind of community service that some people get "sentenced" to and hence mandatory (like picking up garbage under supervision).
