In Mass this morning, I was shocked they had altered the lyrics to Joy to the World (...let men their songs employ) and Hark! The Herald Angels Sing (...born that man no more may die) to more "inclusive" lyrics. "Let us our songs employ" and "born that we no more may die" both sounded absolutely embarrassingly terrible in context.

That's what you get for not going to the EF or to Divine Liturgy.

Graphic video... not really worth watching, but the crux is that a group of Black Lives Matter supporters kidnapped a white guy and tortured him. They livestreamed the torture and forced the guy to say stuff like "fuck Trump" and "fuck white people." This is getting basically zero coverage on any mainstream source right now... whereas fake narratives like "hands up, don't shoot" for Michael Brown got wall to wall coverage. Not politically correct to talk about a black-on-white hate crime.

On top of that the guy who was kidnapped was also mentally handicapped. Sickening

It's gaining traction. The msm is still fact finding but they're confident race and politics had nothing to do with the crime.

Can anyone imagine the collective outrage of a bunch of white guys kidnapped a mentally handicapped black person, tortured them, and forced them to say "fuck Obama" and "fuck black people"?

Lax, your video was deleted. Did it seem genuine and real? Or could it have been faked?

Sounds incredibly fucked up.

I've watched the video elsewhere. It certainly appears real and the Chicago PD has arrested the four perpetrators. This is some sick, evil stuff in so many different ways.

Main street media needs to die in a fire if this doesn't get some serious air time. If the roles/races were reversed, this thing would be everywhere. Media needs to step up, quit pushing narratives and just deliver unbiased reporting.

CNN is finally giving it some air. The idea that black people can't commit a hate crime is insane to me. Denying that black people can be racist or hateful in their acts is the most racist part of our law that I can think of. I hope these people get the max punishment.

I saw it from another source that has since been deleted. It's 100% authentic and the most fucked up thing I've ever seen. They skinned this mentally disabled white man's head down to the bone in one spot and ashed their blunts in it.

According to Youtube it was deleted/removed for the policy on Spam, Deceptive Practices, and Scams...... why would they delete the video if it is real?

I would guess that if enough people report that it's fake, Youtube will take it down. A better question is if it's fake, why haven't the 4 accused been released?

Chicago's finest community organizers (communist agitators) would have mobilized a group of protesters (street rats) to peacefully protest (riot and loot) in the streets they haven't contributed a dime to pave or maintain.

Don Lemon and Anderson Cooper would have been air lifted to the scene for another hard hitting story on racism while every other so-called journalist moderated a panel of mouth breathers eagerly waiting for their chance to lecture "white America" for the actions of four whites.

Roughly three days after the story breaks, the msm would completely disregard the victim and crime and focus their attention on systemic racism and the rise of white nationalism.

Close?

Lol this train of thought could be applied to any situation.

"I don't think Dylan Roof was evil...just bad home training"

Yes, it's real. Shows the power of narratives and political correctness. Hours and hours of dedicated time to hate crime hoaxes... and then obvious racially motivated kidnap and torture == all kinds of excuses and explanations.

If races were reversed, there would be riots and this would be world wide news. But can you imagine if white people rioted? They'd call them all racist. Think of the irony.

Just read the 4 are being charged with a hate crime.

Hate crime, kidnapping charges filed against 4 in torture of teen in Facebook Live video | abc7chicago.com

In a press conference Thursday afternoon, Chicago police detectives laid out the timeline of events that led up to a man being tied up, kicked, beaten, yelled at, slashed and forced to drink toilet water - all of which was streamed live on Facebook.

Police said they don't know the motive behind the apparent torture or the suspects' decision to film it. At one point, the teens, who are black, told the victim, who is white, to say he loves black people.

Police said they investigated the attack as a hate crime and the state's attorney agreed it met those standards by approving the charges.
Aggravated kidnapping is also a Class X felony which, to my understanding, means that the state will not let up on the punishment. The victim being mentally handicapped may also play a role in making the punishment even more severe.

The screwed up new info in this story I just read is that one of the kidnappers was supposed to be the victim's friend. The victim was dropped off by his parents had met up with him for a sleep over of sorts. Instead they slept in a stolen van (stolen before the victim met up with his kidnapper) for a couple days until the day of the incident. Just absolutely beyond messed up.

I read they also text the victim's parents basically saying "we have him now."

With everything coming out, we still have dipshits like Shaun King more angry the "white supremacist" hashtag "BLMkidnapping" is being used, instead of anger that people could do such a horrible thing.

Good news. They deserve the longest sentence possible.



This makes me wonder how generally reasonable people (in this case, victim's parents) don't become unpacified and deliver street justice that dwarfs the original incident.

That dad has more reserve than I do. It would be IMPOSSIBLE for me to trust a justice system that has already mocked the crime more or less (CPD downplaying it, etc.)

Every decent person in the country, black, white, lib, conservative, old or young, should condemn the hell out of this and the 4 who did it. Any of the talking heads who try to excuse it should be fired immediately. Unfortunately, it won't happen that way.

That's some excellent parenting right there. They must all be proud of their kids.

In spite of everything, I'm a bit surprised at least some media outlets have reported on it, and I'm glad they were able to apprehend the suspects. It's a bit disconcerting that the whole thing was being downplayed for awhile, and people/Youtube were treating it as a hoax or false. That was just absurd. I feel for the victim, but I'm glad justice is going to be served.

I saw online that one of the accused's grandmothers said "That's not my granddaughter, I'm confused, she's a good kid, she'd never do something like this." Queue the Bobbah Bowden "Dey good kids."

I think that type of response is one of shock and disbelief not of denial. Most anyone would say that about a family member. I don't think anyone can morally defend the actions of these four young adults. It's inexcusable.
