The people using this horrible incident to jump up and down and say "look look black people can be racist too" are disgustingly transparent, they care for the victim as little as the perpetrators do.
I think what's transparent is when people try to be inflammatory but fail miserably.

It just shows that black people can be racist as well.

Can we expect a white riot any time soon?

Bit of looting maybe?

No?

No. Maybe not.

The news story/police don't seem to be treating it as racism though. More bullying/torture/kidnapping of a vulnerable person.

I haven't watched whole video, was there any reference to his colour?
It wouldn't be racism if some from another race bullied or tortured another unless they made reference to his race.
BBC has picked up on it now. They're reporting it as more of a 'kidnap' on live Facebook than a race crime. Chicago police department say the incident wasn't caused by race or political motivation.

The girl's Facebook account is as classy as you'd believe. First picture is of her having sex.

When you next see anyone talking about the internet and fake news.....remember this case.

A group of people broadcasted this thinking there wouldn't even be any repercussions. Like how is it normal to have that kind of mentality?

The BBC have reported that investigators are seeking to determine whether or not it is sincere or just a stupid ranting and raving.

"They're young adults, and they make stupid decisions," he said, and, in reference to the language used, investigators would seek to "determine whether or not this is sincere or just stupid ranting and raving", he said.

That's one of the shocking aspects of this. They broadcast it on Facebook Live and thought people would think it would be a good thing. Really that should be seen as the chilling aspect to this if the attack itself wasn't bad enough as it is.
They actually thought that their actions would be validated. For their minds to think that at all must tell you about the climate they exist in where they confidently felt that this would be the case.

She got angry when someone in the comments said 'You're going to jail'. How could you be so stupid thinking nothing would come of streaming that live?

Did they really describe it as 'stupid ranting and raving'?
They're making it sound like it's just the sort of dumb thing kids get up to. Like it was a prank or something.

"They're young adults, and they make stupid decisions," he said, and, in reference to the language used, investigators would seek to "determine whether or not this is sincere or just stupid ranting and raving", he said.
How can they describe this as merely a 'stupid decision'?
That completely undermines the nature of the malicious intent.
I think 'evil decision' would be a bit closer to the truth.

A vulnerable man is kidnapped, tortured, degraded and subjected to racist abuse broadcast live on the internet.
The police say they aren't sure how if a hate crime has taken place and that it might just be stupid people ranting and raving.
America sure is one ****ed up place.

Radio 4 news just now definitely made a point of mentioning the racial angle. They didn't appear to be trying to hide it at all.

A shocking video shows a white man bound, gagged and bloody as a gang of racist black thugs force him to say “f**k Donald Trump” and “f**k white people”.
The video was uploaded by a facebook user called Brittany Herring.

Will this racist story make it into mainstream media?
If the BBC counts as mainstream then yes.

I've seen you post some agenda driven old pony in the past, but you have excelled yourself here. Well done you. 😊 👍

I've not watched the video but it sounds horrific. I was looking at an arice on Facebook earlier,strangely most of the American white folk were outraged, the American black folk were saying it was being blown out of proportion.

They certainly do have some deep rooted racial issues on both sides. I don't see it getting better any time soon

I watched it and got more angry than I thought I would. These oxygen thief animal waste of organs racist scum bags should be thrown inside for life for this vile hate crime. I doubt it though, just kids apparently according to the Chicago police

It's being shared under #BLMKidnapping. Absolutely horrific video. Reading about what they did, it seems like they were acting like depraved animals towards a vulnerable person.

Thank God they were stupid enough to record the evidence.

The longer they spend in prison the better.

This would be front page news it was white on black violence. As it is, it is largely being ignored and the perpetrators will get a derisory sentence if any. They should get life meaning life, ie no possibility of parole whatsoever.

What a disgusting act of inhumanity, that poor man - I hope he's recovering. Hopefully these people will receive the punishment they deserve.

Also can I say, what a dreadful website that OP is linked to - yes, there are racist black people but my god are there some racist white people in the comment section beneath that video. I've never read such nasty comments - makes the Daily Mail look like good.

This is despicable and a racist hate crime.
That all depends on how the local law defines a 'hate crime'.

Angry people say nasty horrible things, I'm not sure how you can tell skin colour of those commenting though?
