And this...
Quote:
One of the attackers also wrapped a rope around Smollett's neck before the duo fled.
The Chicago Sun-Times, citing a police spokesman, said that Smollett went to an apartment after the attack, and his manager called the police. When officers arrived, a "thin, light rope" was still around Smollett's neck, said the spokesman.
So, for whatever reason the 'attackers' 'fled'. And then the following happened:
1. He went to an apartment.
2. He spoke to his manager.
3. His manager called the police.
4. He waited for the police to arrive.
5. When the police arrived, after however long, he still had a "thin, light rope" around his neck.
Who on earth would do that? No one on earth would leave a rope around their neck after an attack. The first thing you would do is take that off. But he supposedly kept it on for what, 30 minutes? An hour? However long it took for the cops to arrive.
