The attack on Jussie Smollett seems...sketchy. I hate to say I have questions. He was attacked on Lower Water Street in Chicago. This is part of the system of multilevel streets. There are a lot of high-end hotels in the area with their loading docks and waste disposal at the lower level. He was right by the plazas of the Chicago Tribune, NBC Tower, the University of Chicago's Booth School of Business, and a super high-end Apple Store up at street level.

Cabs and savvy drivers use the lower streets to get around fast. While there are usually a lot of homeless people sleeping down there, it's not much for pedestrian traffic and people don't mill around down there. There are probably also a zillion cameras.

What else bothers me---The attackers had rope and bleach. At 2am. Just walking around Lower Water Street. And supposedly they yelled "This is MAGA country" during the attack. Delusional thinking in one of the Bluest cities in America.

The more I think about it, I'm wondering WHY was he down there in the first place? You have to take stairs down there and then climb back up. Pedestrians use the street above!

I really do hate to say I think something seems odd. Last news report I read there was maybe some security footage. We'll see.
