Tickets for Smollett’s show were still available as of Tuesday afternoon, but they sold out within 48 hours of the assault being reported. Though a Friday meet-and-greet with fans was canceled for “security reasons,” there was no enhanced security presence at the show on Saturday aside from a pair of officers from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. Several members of the Troubadour’s security team said the venue had not hired additional security for the event.
Some attendees said they had bought tickets in a show of solidarity but left feeling energized by Smollett’s message and music.
“I don’t watch ‘Empire,’ I hadn’t listened to his music, but I really wanted to support him,” one of them, Chris Katrandjian, said after the show. “The strength he exhibited was not only admirable, it was inspiring.”
Smollett, a vocal critic of President Trump, did not perform his most outwardly political song, “F.U.W.,” which includes lyrics like “Who got the popular vote? Was the whole thing just a joke?”

This guy is a left wing fanatic, plain & simple.
He staged his attack for publicity
and to make Trump & his supporters look bad - plain & simple.
Cannot help but wonder if his idea was inspired in part by the women who made false claims against Justice Kavanaugh.
Morgan Wallen is a piece of garbage.
