Hate crime, battery charges filed in Facebook Live attack on disabled man

What a bunch of reprehensible fucking animals. I sincerely hope they lock they up and throw away the key. Unfortunately that's unlikely because they'll have their built in excuses for their reprehensible and depraved actions and none of them will involve personal responsibility.

What makes matters worse is the victim was attacked by someone he trusted and thought was a friend. Chances are this young men didn't have too many friends and has faced ridicule before, and to have someone he thought was his friend do this to him is absolutely gut wrenching. It's an attack coupled with betrayal.

The four pieces of shit are the ones with cognitive issues. What is also troubling is the denial that this was racially motivated by authorities, despite the clear evidence. Had the races of the victim and his attackers been reversed, we'd be hearing about this for decades and Sharpton and the MSM would have been all over the place. There'd be rioting and looting.

CBS is up to its old fake news tricks again.

"A CBS Radio News report on the video of four young Chicago people torturing a mentally disabled man falsely implied that the victim was black and his attackers were white, when in fact the opposite was true.

In the brief Thursday morning report - which attracted attention when a listener posted the clip on Reddit Friday - here's how CBS characterized the attack:

'The viral video of a beating and knife attack in Chicago suggests the assault had racial overtones. CBS's Dean Reynolds tells us the victim is described as a mentally-challenged teenager.

In the video he is choked and repeatedly called the n-word. His clothes are slashed and he is terrorized with a knife. His alleged captors repeatedly reference Donald Trump. Police are holding four people in connection with the attack. [Emphasis added]'

The report is technically correct, but widely misleading. By noting the attackers used the n-word during a racially-motivated attack while "referencing" Donald Trump, the clear implication is that the victim was black and his attackers were racist Trump fans.

The n-word was indeed used to refer to the victim, but only in the more neutral sense that is often used in black vernacular. Omitted from the report are details that would corrected that misapprehension. Most obviously, the report could have simply stated the attackers' and victim's races. But it also neglected to clarify that the "reference" to Donald Trump was "F*** Donald Trump," and neglected completely the fact that the attackers yelled "F*** white people."

(To be fair the CBS clip appears to be pulled. I can't find it to verify Mediate's story. But I can't find anybody challenging Mediate yet either.)
