So the CNN on air personality is now saying it was ok Jussie smollett let innocent individuals be falsely accused and possibly sent to prison. That’s what representing CNN?

Bro, what were you thinking Is this about fame or money?

What an idiot! You would think he had sensible, intelligent advisers around him to tell him that no one, absolutely no one respects a disgusting liar, not even if he’s the one in the WH. Now his credibility & character are questioned. He should not be on TV again.

'allegedly', a word only applied when in reference to a liberal, democrat or any anti Trump 'news' The man was arrested and headlines continue to use 'allegedly' Pathetic

Nothing else to write about? 70k dead from opioids. 40k dead from guns. 35b tons/yr of CO2 causing a climate crisis. $22t national debt rising $1t/yr. But sure, let's focus on a moron who faked a hate crime.

I believe we are all owed an apology...everyone including Donald Chump.

Is it still a hate crime...sounds like he hates him self

It's about time the clown news network finally reported a real story. Wow!!!

I'm so disappointed!! This make me sad especially for real victims of crimes that have to go through the process to find justice!

He should be charged with a hate crime if what they say is true

Good. I hope they ban him from Hollywood for life!

CAN YOU DETECT A PATTERN? 1-- Smollett-MAGA Hoax 2-- Covington-MAGA Hoax 3-- Blasey Ford-Kavanaugh Hoax 4-- Trump-Russia 'Collusion' Hoax The only way Democrats can win is by creating hoaxes to frame Trump and his appointees or supporters as racists, rapists or traitors

CNNPolitics SpeakerPelosi KamalaHarris need to apologize for spreading this fake story! They could’ve gotten someone killed! “Wait for the facts” they say, only after it’s proven false

Bet it pains CNN and ABC to report this.

Christi_Paul cnn offers smollett an anchor position, because he personifies their mission statement.

Filing a false police report or staging a hate crime?

Oops. There it is.

I knew he was full of hot air when he said two MAGA dudes jumped him at 2am in CHICAGO! Really

Where’s the CPD pre-dawn raid🤔

I think this is the story we need right now. Something tonrally the country around. Because at this single moment we can all agree that this guy is an a$$hole.

I’ll take “how to completely destroy my career for 200” Alex.

Why Jussie WHY!!!

Time to boycott like Rosanne🤔

People are desperate to be victims these days and crave attention. It’s pathetic.

Lock him up with MichaelCohen212 in the same cell.

This is just shocking!

That dude was played like a pawn to push the far left agenda and it ruined him. Dems will go to anything length to hurt or President and they don’t care who gets trampled on. Hope they are happy with the end result.

Silly man 👨 oops it should be black

hahaa cnn is burning again ! your sceme blew up in all your faces !

There goes his Empire.

Media in general to be charged with aiding and abetting?

When it first came out he caused so much hate being voiced and now look how KARMA back fired on him.

What's the motive? Exactly..we've convicted a man in nothing but rumors and they said,very sad,he's gay(private)and I've gone to the store in the cold at 3. At this rate no one is going to want to report anything,I think we're gonna learn a lesson from this one

They should charge him with a hate crime.

Hammer him.

LOL!!!!

How can CNN still spin this? How about an apology to all maga supporters?

Goodbye career. Downright dirty what he did to those really going through these attacks. He should be blackballed from acting again for that.

The Lynching of Michael Donald look him up JussieSmollett this man life was taken the same way you described except you're out here playing. rolandsmartin

What he did was wrong, and it hurts those that are actually targeted because of race or sexuality. But MAGA people should not feel vindicated. Many assumed he was telling the truth because we know you people are racist, even if you haven’t come to grips with your racism.

Alternative CNN headline : 'Yet another gay, black man being targeted by the racist Chicago police.'

Who cares? Talk about this gross move, CNN

I believe the Crafty Beaver

A suspect? Does that mean that it might have been someone else? 😂

JailForJussie

Being a GWM, I am now scared of the consequences this will have on our community. Perhaps more hate crimes?

Numerous people have been assaulted by leftists for the crime of wearing a MAGA hat. My companion at the WomensMarchOnDC was afraid to walk with me, because of the extreme hostility and verbal assaults I was receiving over my choice of hat.

The left has gotten so used to lying about everything for so long, they seem surprised when they get in trouble over it.

Not.

I'm still trying to figure out why ChristineBlaseyFord hasn't been charged with the same thing.

Very bad judgment. His strategy failed miserably.

This makes me so sad. To make such a stupid decision for the sake of staying relevant.

But hes the gay Tupac lmao

Can't wait to see how CNNPolitics MSNBC ABCPolitics spin this and give it like 8 seconds of airtime.

CharlesMBlow This is an absolutely baffling case. Maybe it makes sense to the people who know him better. What he did was just wrong.

Guilty. Lock him up.

BREAKING JussieSmollett charged with 1 count of felony disorderly conduct for filing false police report, Chicago officials say

Check out foxnewsalert’s Tweet:

If a straight white male did this would the media act differently? If so, why isn’t it happening now? Or maybe, it shows the true liberal colors.. you decide if you dare without the media telling you what to think instead.

CharlesMBlow ALL false claims of heinous crimes stifle the awareness of their existence.

CNN still uses Allegedly... didn’t see you use those qualifiers when you reported the original story

How wrong this is...

Hot. Mess. 🤦🏽‍♀️

Are they going to raid his house with CNN there

I am so disappointed in him. l am pretty sure your character in Empire wasn't worth you taken this kind of measurements.We have enough of racism going on already and you do this.Shame on you.

So let me get this straight, Chicago police lie on a police report = not guilty 16shots Jessie Smollett lies on a police report and it’s a federal crime!?

I had never heard of Jussie Smollett until this incident. 🤔

We’re waiting on your apology CNN

Guess you guys have a camera crew there waiting for SWAT

Lol now he needs jail time, although he might like it ?

He's just been charged with a felony.

Will CNN be there when the FBI storms his apartment with heavy weapons drawn? Oh wait. That won't happen. LOL

How about the police alert CNNnewsroom CNNBusiness CNNPolitics and kick in the door with 20 cops like they did for MrRogerStone RealCandaceO BLEXIT POTUS POTUS44 RealJamesWoods IngrahamAngle CWBChicago Suntimes chicagotribune

Which somehow in the end... he will file a claim against Chicago PD for some BS and settle out of court for millions of dollars 🤔

You'd almost think he actually had a career worth going through this much trouble to save.

He will love jail. Lots of man butt sex there.

A FELONY. CNN is not a credible news network

Ooohhh CNN there must be a mistake... He's and actor and would never do something like this to his fans... GET your expert panelist on it... Call the 'Females of the VIEW'... they have all the Rice-a-Roni hour knowledge.

So sad! He had a bright future! I don't understand why he did this. He's actually hurting so real victims of hate crimes & also hurting the LGBTQ community. Cops could have been dedicating precious time to catching real criminals on the streets of Chicago instead of this😩🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️😱

barbara_jupp Poor man, the only way anyone wood do this, is because the left would believe him without any proof . Just mention the hats and the left just jump in feet first.

love this use of the word 'allegedly.' where did you learn this new, fun, and exciting word?

Hi CNN -he's been charged. How about updating.

He also needs to be charged with a hate crime.

Yes we still want justice for Jussie; whether it’s vindication for him or probation!

I called it from the get go.

Where is the video of the raid ?Come on CNN ?

Or did they just use this as their own defense?

JussieSmollett is

'Hate crime hoax, reported as a hate crime committed by Trump supporters, was a hoax', would be a more accurate description of the article, based on what I just read in it. FakeNews FactsMatter HateHoax

afneil Hilarious. And after all the liberal media piled it on about racism and bigotry. His story was completely unbelievable from day one...!!! Fake news shot themselves the foot AGAIN

I can’t imagine why someone so successful would be boneheaded enough to do this

Why is CNN NOT reporting this Breaking News? SmollettLied

Watching your low-rated tv channel...NO mention of the breaking news of lying Jussie Smollett.

Bye Bye Jussie 👋

If Don Lemon ever had a son...

Sweet sweet Jussie served.

Same energy.

Yeah! Lying about fake attacks and casting yourself as a victim of a conspiracy rather than a perpetrator only works if you’re the President!

Trump wins again 😂 😂

What JussieSmollett did is despicable. As a gay man who has fought for decades for equality, justice and societal acceptance, I think he is a remarkable coward. A coward. And CNN you are complicit. Complicit. GOP LogCabinGOP

This is such a horrible story!

What have we become - real people from all sides of the political spectrum suffering real injustice and this person who has no self respect or sense of justice pulls this crap.

Hope he goes to jail!

So unbelievably sad. Does nothing but hurt people who are gay or people of color who already are hesitant to file hate crime reports. He must be so messed up and he should be ashamed. 😢👎🏻

Thank you CNN for not hiding this story.

I'm hoping this isn't true. This damages so many things in so many ways. What kind of mind thinks this crap up. What was the point?

I told folks on Twitter this fool was lying and folks got mad Dude's story sounded like and turned out to be a low budget bullshit skit. This fooled fucked over a lot of people who supported him. Life is real and there are real victims in life, LIFE IS NOT A BULLSHIT TV SKIT!

Clinto News Network bought into without checking any sources or finding any evidence. They just enjoy turning Americams against each other. We can be better than this.

Sen. Booker

What’s JussieSmollett modus operandi🤷🏿‍♂️ Just doesn’t make sense

So you’re saying the bad actor is the Bad Actor? Hey Smollett , still have that rope? cause you done hung yo self hollywood empire

Let’s wait untill all the evidence is in before we jump to conclusions like the liberals have done. Accusation stunk from the beginning but let’s wait a couple of days.

McClain_on_NFL We knew this several days ago yet it’s breaking news to cnn.

And fox stands by committing a felony. Why not, gets their race based show some race based press. Pathetic people involved in this all around.

Put this mufucca in jail!

Jussie...say it ain't so!

If that is true, it is pretty sad that celebs needs so much attention that they could get this low.

This is messy

CharlesMBlow This whole story is sad, maddening, horrible..😳

I hope they nail him and prosecute to the fullest extent of the law. He taxed an already short handed division and the only reason 20 detectives were assigned to the case is because of his star power.

kathygriffin Alyssa_Milano KamalaHarris CoryBooker am very interested to hear your response

OMG, its true?........... cannot believe it

JussieSmollett asshole

Where is donlemon the bigot on this one.

Awesome! What a loser!

afneil We need to believe Jussie so that all the other people who haven't been attacked will have the cocurage to come forward.

Ya think?

Prosecute to the Max!!!

afneil seemed like a Clown act - literally ; and does nothing to help the cause he was presumably hoping to high light

you promoted his story without investigating. Why? Because it met your agenda of portraying any, and all Trump supporters as racists. You are culpable in this crime.

What he did was also a hate crime

Because of Jussie, he exposed how liberal blacks are the real racists trying to start a race war. Lol all those liberal Hollywood actor, actresses, athletes and other dumb A’s that quickly believed him without real evidence except “they yelled MAGA” LOL. Trump2020 confirmed!

So I wonder how that noose feels around his neck now🤣🤣🤣🤣

TRUMP AND HIS SUPPORTERS WIN AGAIN!!

he is mentally ill and will face consequences for his actions. the media and politicians that took advantage of his mental illness for their gain will not face any consequences

BrandiKruse Emmy award lock.

Hope you’re gonna pay for his lawyer, KamalaHarris

afneil Suprise suprise.

jesseismesse

Why on earth do people suddenly believe Chicago PD (!) rather than a victim? Ah yes, because he‘s black n gay...would we dare doubt a woman?

Walmart will hire him as a greeter...

And for what? To elevate himself, his popularity. Charge him not only for reporting a fake crime, but charge him with 'hate crime.' Gays and blacks are continuously being abused and by doing this doesn't help.

McClain_on_NFL

LOCK HIM UP

HelterSkelter It wasn't just a police report It's a hate crime, and its purpose is obvious on many levels. JussieSmollett Heres your boy...

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha, ha ha ha ha!!!! LOL MAGA TRUMP2020

What on earth would motivate a successful actor to do such an egregious thing? The damage he has caused to real victims of racism and homophobia! And all the trust and outpouring of love he's betrayed. What is wrong with him?

Hope he gets arrested

This is a federal case that means the police are in violation of the (Supremacy Clause art 6 of the constitution) , that states federal law cannot be superceded!

No one has even talked about the fact that this dirtbag was willing to have innocent people go to jail for his hoax. Can you imagine if there were 2 guys leaving a bar that night in the area? Liberals have no soul - it’s always a means to an end no matter what.

On behalf of the city of Chicago

Ha ha, too funny

HEY CNN WHY DID MUELLER TIP YOU OFF? HOW WAS IT THAT YOU WERE JUST MAGICALLY AT Rogerstone HOUSE? HOW DID YOU GET THERE SO DAMN FAST? OH THAT'S RIGHT I FORGOT MY OWN QUESTION. MUELLER, THE WALKING FBI CLOWN, HE'S GOD RIGHT?

Shame!

He should be charged with a hate crime no more of this stupidity

Will CNN be making a statement on their own behaviour in the reporting of this?

What a psychopath 🤬

if true, then F him. LGBTQ who aren't rich and powerful like him have enough REAL problems with biogtry without him giving homophobes more ammo/hatred.

Sharp guy.

This is sad this will be a dark stain on the entire Black community for years to come.

Oh my .so is that like the police filing a false reports Hmmmm

If he sought notoriety; he got it...

...whoops.

Jussie Smollett Diss Song

Think this young man needs help - hope he seeks it out!

Fanfriggingtastic! Thank you Chicago PD! This nonsense can’t be allowed.

I hope there are greater charges than just the report although that is bad enough.

Lol breaking news. You're like 3 hours late to the show. That's okay though..at least you got it right

Know this was tough for you CNN. Wrong again!

Beautiful

The face of racism in America in 2019.

I see a future in celebrity boxing vs Dustin Diamond aka Screech

Temporary insanity

Idiot

So now they will send 29 agents to arrest him just like Roger Stone and make sure cnn is there! Right?

But donlemon told us differently! He knows him personally. 😂😂

Just own it Jussie and move on!

Wow, what took you so long CNN?

😖😖👎👎

Chicago police investigating a black-on-black crime is breaking news indeed! Two of the fake assailants were black. Usually this kind of crime goes in the unsolved file. I guess media attention motivated Chicago police to investigate this false report.

So stupid.

And where are all the people/celebrities who jumped to conclusions? Are they going to apologize? Are they going to say they messed up? NOPE! They’re going to put the blame on other people EXCEPT JussieSmollett. What he did was not ok at all 😠

My Nigerian brothers has put this guy in a hot seat lol.

Give him the maximum sentence

Wait for all the facts you CNN cretins. Putin owns trump? Whaaat.

What if it turns out he also sent himself the letter to the set of Empire? Could he be looking at a federal crime as well since the mail was involved?

You guys must be really, really, super depressed today. Did you get served with your Covington lawsuit yet? Have a blessed day.

lmao what a bozo ! what was he thinking

The memes are the funniest

ryan_the_great *sigh*

LOLOLOL

Well, maybe he'll find some new friends along the way....... JussieSmollett

Let me get this straight. Liberal media pushed this hoax out to the public and now you want to report on it?

Trash

These people live lies...tellin' em cant be too far fetched...everybody settin brothers up for failure...

CNN owes MAGA supporters a huge apology. More proof CNN is biased and they suck

Jussie wants to drop the soap, that's all

Jussie learned a valuable lesson here. When you claim a hate crime, don't file it with the police. Just take photos & upload them to social media. That way, no one can prove you wrong & you won't be charged if you're caught in a lie. I'm surprised his dad never taught him that...

afneil and in a similar vein you have the first of the CovingtonKid lawsuits ($250m+ afgainst the Washington Post)

Prison, where people REALLY get assaulted.

Annnddd this is the kind of stuff thats going to get trump re elected. Call trump a racist and that hes dividing and destroying this country, yet you have to hire 2 Nigerian men to fake a hate crime...

This is a false hate crime and he should have to do 10 years in jail.

Aren’t ongoing investigations like this supposed to be confidential?

Lock him up for inciting hate crime

Such a damn shame!

CharlesMBlow Weird and sad!...and also why?

Bad publicity is not always good publicity.

blackLIESmatter!

Really? Come on man

I hope he didn't do this. It would be tragic in many ways.

Lock him up!

And so many still saying ‘poor jussie’ Hollywood and cnn🤷‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

The MAGA part of it was just too much, especially for Chicago of all places.

You need to CHARGE this full of himself P.O.S.

REALLY DUDE?!

Lol

Can I get a Tawana Brawley?

Wow, no kidding! Where are those in the media, Hollywood celebrities, and other (insert adjective) individuals that sit behind their walls and security now. Including our propaganda morning talk show now that yelled Justice? JussieSmollett media So very sad!

Racist

Filing is misspelled on your website also

Career = OVER

He’s a racist. Can you imagine if a white person did this?

Now can everyone that revved the engine of division when it first came out apologize for following fake news?

Former actor

Some people need to start apologizing!

A lot of ppl are in 45s pocket 😂

Well well CNN how will you spin this? How will you blame Trump, conservatives, Republicans, supporters of the President?! Jussie Smollett is a perfect example of how toxic libs have become! He was willing to start a race war to make Trump supporters look bad. Libs=Mental Illness

RobinRoberts

He was a suspect the night it happened. He’s a piece of shit. All the manpower he has wasted. Taxpayers money. Prosecute to fullest extent.

Yea! CNN Welcome back to journalism! You can always have recognition and accolades if you report the facts and then, wait to report the facts. I grew up with James Earl Jones saying 'This is CNN'. You can return to your former glory. You can do it--the little engine that could.

Actor considered a suspect for filing false hate crime report.

.JussieSmollett was easy to catch b/c investigators can usually spot someone lying about something like this & Jussie is a terrible liar. MiaFarrow & RealDylanFarrow are terrible liars; minimal scrutiny+facts+2 siblings+2 investigative teams confirm. RonanFarrow is a predator

🤡🤡🤡

CharlesMBlow

Jussie Smollett is a suspect in felony investigation for allegedly filing false report.

How about charging him with a hatecrime he was obviously targeting a racial group. JussieSmollett liar b

FAKE

So disappointed. He was talented, smart, and good looking. I didn’t think he would do something this stupid. He can now kiss his career and popularity goodbye. What was he thinking? ☹️

You still have time to try & pin this on the Republican Party don’t let yourself & your sycophant followers down.

People who file false reports need to be punished not only for their lies but also for usurping law enforcement resources.

afneil No shit

plot twist: this was all done for him to get caught cause he wants to be in prison being treated like a human pin cushion

This is shocking.....!😮

pettymoroccan shti 8ad 7mar!

Dude, why? U ruined your life and the lives of all victims of future racial, sexual, and political attacks.

Allegedly. LOL. We all know he did it. Duh!

Not surprised

LOL 'Allegedly'......

Ya no deben hacer esas practicas ya basta

👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

Jussie could hire Houdini as a lawyer and he couldn’t get him out of this mess! It’s sad all the time and manpower wasted on this case. Real victims in Chicago need the police to work on their cases and not this non sense

Sesh sesh sesh! Read this!! 😱😱 Sesh_mila

Scumbag

this story was ridiculous from day one and cnn jumped on it with both feet...all you had to hear was maga hats and it was a five alarm fire in your newsroom.

no one would have been out in -60 weather without being paid .

I’m really angry. For real victims, for marginalized communities, and for our country as a whole, this event will just be a catalyst that will further divide. This is NOT mental illness either. So I hope he does not victimize that community by trying to justify HIS actions.

The Sopranos, S06E04, The Fleshy Part of the Thigh.

Can't wait for the SNL skit (never gonna happen)

Duh, you might send a spokesman to the celebrity libs that rejoiced in his special production and stunt work....and tell them that this was a hoax. It would've been a good joke had he, and YOU, stated it as thus. RealJamesWoods

This is homophobic, a gay man was assaulted by 2 big gay black heterosexuals, for being black. They are also known trump supporters. We need to get a gofundme going to cover jussie skillets legal fees.

NOTHING ALLEGED ABOUT IT cnn! He is an 'official suspect for filing a false police report' GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT OR STOP PRETENDING TO BE A SOURCE OF THEM. You jackasses have had it WRONG ALL ALONG. Time to be ACCOUNTABLE for this. SmollettHateHoax

I knew from the beginning something was 'off' about this whole story, my skepticism paid off! The benefit of the doubt ALWAYS PAYS OFF.

TMZ said that the crime is only a max 3 years in prison....seriously?! Only 3 years? I realize non celebs have done plenty of hoaxes but he had this platform and abused it...smh

He has set his own communities back by his own actions...allegedly

Now..i wonder if Kamala is scared.🤔 I'm sure he will claim he is mentally ill bc of realDonaldTrump FakeHateCrimes

Haaahaha!! How bad do you have to hate Trump to pull a stunt like that

afneil And inciting hate?

When you see that guy that calls himself gay Tupac arrive in your prison

What an idiot. Did he REALLY think he was going to get away with committing a crime like this Only the Clinton’s get away with this kind of sh*t. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

He needs therapy.

If this turn out to be true, how sad for real victims of racial abuse!

This TDS is real.

Knew it from the get go. Just didn’t add up.

So at this point do we still want justice for jussie? Lol

New it from the get! Nothing added up. Nothing jived. I just wanna know why? Why do something like this Pisses me off because its gonna take away the believability of REAL victims of REAL hate crimes. No reason to create fake hate crimes. Theres plenty on a daily basis. Smh.

Oh how the tables have turned

No apology from CNN yet. for there false statements of the attack.

Wait until the Feds charge him w/ terroristic threats, and a hate crime...very sad, but he should suffer very serious consequences

He is a racist and a liar. I hope he goes to jail,

smh, what a fool

You get the point!

Atleast he brought awareness to hate crime in America - Don Lemon tonight

lol, love it! JussieSmollett what a putz! how about all those big mouths who jumped in to say how outraged they were. this guy is the worst of the worst. terrible for all his people: blacks, gays and idiotic actors. also, just a terrible commentary on humans right now pathetic

Wowwww

Good. Throw him in jail.

False case , lock him up

Sorry, CNN. I know this must be a horrible day for you. Every line of bull you've peddled since the election just suffered the worst of trouncings. Your entire narrative is on fire, and that must burn.

And there it is

Next year in prison! 😂😂😂

Good, they better use him as an example. Nobody should fake anything, you just dont play with stuff like that.

Jussie right now

Is he a Republican?, Looks like everything that come out of their mouth is either LIES OR CONSPIRACY THEORY

Web

Well can’t wait to see how you spin this to be Trumps fault !

I’ve been following every detail of the story, and I still don’t understand why, or what his intention was… None of it makes any sense.

“The face of all the people in the black and LGBT+ communities.” Really, man? Like life isn’t already hard enough belonging to one/both as it is with the current shitstorm in the WH?

Criminal

Will Very Fake News CNN eat crow?

Oh shit

What a bum!

Busted!! Tried to start a race war, a sexual orientation war, and a political war to further his career...

Hate-Monger...!!!!

*POUNCES*

Everything that’s wrong in this world.

For everyone at the mercy of the media who feels like there's hardly any truth served for your eyes to see and your ears to hear. Consider this your moon landing. On to the next one. ✊🏽

No integrity - now he’s gonna get it

I figured it would come to this. If I would Jussie Smollett, he should admit to what happened and speak to the police. Someone who would go to these lengths has issues, and putting him in jail will not help the situation.

Good. I hope they throw the book at that piece of garbage.

This is white peoples fault, clearly.

He’s hurting the same people he says he’s defending. What’s the motive?

Be serious!

Oh shit, that's illegal?

Cookie, the Black and LGBT community, and the rest of America

See ya! 🤣

I don’t trust these sources BUT if he did in fact lie about the assault and staged it, he must tell the truth and apologize immediately. SMH, still don’t understand why he would risk losing everything and do this but c’est la vie!

LiberalismIsAMentalDisease

JussieSmollett u famous NOW

Pls make it make sense!!!!!😱🙆🏾‍♀️ How? You had your whole life ahead of you. You were already almost the most awesome human! Howwww? Why Help me understand JussieSmollett 💔

i wonder if he kept the rope. i know what he can do with it. SmolletHoax

Idiot.

What a fool. Ruining it for actual victims. Put him away.

Hahahahahahahhahahahahahah

Nig

Sad, why?

I knew it was fake from day 1

3rd tweet telling ppl that love Jussie to hold an intervention.

Hard to believe

What a waste of police resources

Jessie Smollett need to pay back all the money wasted on him and more. Fakeing hate crimes should be just as bad as the crime itself.

CNN are you Freaking out yet?

😬

Over paid bum

🤣😂 what made this dummy think he could fake something like that?

This is crazy. Why would someone pay others to beat him up? I honestly don’t know why? Does he single handedly want to start a race war?

Congrats!
