lying pieces of you know what
Oh FFS…FAKE NEWS! If that’s the only piece of compelling “evidence” you have after four days of nothing, can we just call this a hoax already instead of dragging this out?
I recognized both of the guys in the security image. They work as gate attendants at Soldier Field. One drive’s a red subaru. The other a lime green Audi.
Not a hoax……more like falsifying a crime….that should carry charges
+Stop Bullying Jay and Silent Bob
+Todd Fetty 😁
Cnn tmz biggest fake news outles ever all this for fake news and “starting race war” media is trying and that should sound scary to all! 😠
White house press briefings to
Race and butt war
Damage control by TMZ.
exactly
It was a hoax.
yeah walked her dog in -25. we all know Chicago’s got the most rednecks
🤣😂😁
Fake news! You are literally sowing racial divisiveness with this hoax!
Facts
petoz
Yeah & it’s not a good thing to be doing for that reason alone, but also takes away from actual victims that do really go through this & need to be believed.
Everything feels divisive lately. We’re in rough times.
The LGBTQ community wants this alleged attack to be so true… Hahahaha.
Umm no we don’t! Most of us gays don’t believe the story! We are not idiots
Fake news.. just want to push a political agenda.. furthermore, gays should stay in the closet.
The only part of the story that sounds true, is a gay man trying to get a footlong at 2am.
Hahahahaha
Only if YouTube allowed pic/GIF reactions…
Lol! I’m gay and I find this hilarious!!
😂😂👏🏽
Red necks in Chicago lmao how come I haven’t seen a TV show
He was out at 2:00am looking for a footlong? 😂😂
And the rednecks pulled up in the General Lee.
Come on now! It gets worse every new version. Smells even fishier.
Just admit he’s lying 😩 y’all keep dragging this hoax along as if some real information will eventually pop up, not happening give it up already.
even the white girl is rolling her eyes and she dont believe it.
But he’s not on camera? TMZ is reporting trash the CPD is saying isn’t true
Witness sounds racist calling people red necks
Anthony Jackson how that racist I seen black peoples who red necks
Embarrassing to watch how desperately Harvey SO wants to make this credible.
Yep the struggle over at TMZ is off the charts.
BINGO…..
The person on the right looks like a female & these people don’t look anything like what this “witness” describes.
If this ain’t true, I feel bad for the 2 innocent guys they’ll arrest and put under heavy scrutiny for something they didn’t have no knowledge of.
In Chicago if you walking around with bleach and a noose.. you already know the penalty for a hate crime. Less time to just kill him. 0 chance this is real.
