The best I can tell, Chicago PD just want to bring Jussie into the station for a big group hug.

Quote

Smollett is due in court in Chicago at 1:30 p.m. Thursday. Chicago police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said CPD detectives will make contact with Smollett's legal team to "negotiate a reasonable surrender for his arrest."

Smollett is not in custody at this time. Guglielmi told ABC News police are not actively looking for the actor because "this is not a violent crime," but said "the longer this goes, the more we have to do what we have to do."

Guglielmi told ABC News police do not know where Smollett is, and "his attorneys have not shared where he is at this point."

"I know this can be difficult emotionally, and we hope he doesn't do anything terrible. We want to make this as diplomatic as possible. In the end, this is only a class 4 felony. He will get through this and we want to make it as easy as possible for him to do it. But again, it is about accountability," Guglielmi told ABC News. “I guess what I’m trying to get across is, please please pretty please let’s not have race riots over this.”

For anyone wondering, that last bit wasn’t actually a quote, KSU-W is just being a dweeb. He probably thinks that false assault claimer Jussie Smollet deserves the same treatment from the CPD as treasonist Roger Stone got from the FBI.

ksu-dub, for this thread being exactly in your wheelhouse you've handled it just, you know, not the best.

Nothing super weird at all about contacting reporters directly, sd. Everybody does it.

Listen it's not that weird so everyone should just shut up about it -- at least not if someone says that KU's football attendance has averaged <20k over the last 5 years

Caught some of the police news conference on the way into work. It was kind of shocking how personally upset the superintendent was.

I didn't hear it but I'd be pretty pissed off as well if I were him.

Apparently Smollett was unhappy with his salary. Very weird way to ask for a raise.

I've always carried an irrational dislike for the show because it sounds like it should be a tv version of the film classic, Empire Records, but it's not.

Somehow, I think this is the most amazing part of the entire story

He’s both a terrible human being and terrible at doing crimes.

Which is a lousy combination, because terrible human beings are the most predisposed to doing crimes, i would think. You can be terrible at one or the other, but it's very unlucky to be terrible at both.

I think he's clearly mentally ill, but calling him a terrible human being sets a pretty low bar for what makes someone a terrible human. JMO

Nope. This plus the previous awful at crime attempt to frame his brother clearly qualifies him.

What makes you say he's mentally ill, Dr. Rusty? He came across as pretty coherent in his interviews - though he lied a lot.

To the extent anyone can be a terrible human being (outside of terrorists, murderers, violent/sexual criminals), I think this episode is a pretty good example. I mean, in addition to orchestrating a fake hate crime, he went to the station to ID suspects, and when he got there and saw it was his accomplices, he didn't ID them. Impliedly, if it was two guys with MAGA tattoos, he would've sent them up the river.

You can't be coherent and still be mentally ill?

IMO if all this is true and he thought he would get a higher salary on Empire from this, he's insane

There's just nothing to suggest to me that he's anything other than a liar, a bad person, and also really stupid.

Maybe he has some mental illness or delusion or something, but doing morally repugnant crap for dumb reasons isn't necessarily evidence of mental illness. I think it's evidence of being a stupid bad person.
