ABC, NBC Skip White Chicago Man Being Tortured Live on Facebook by Four African-Americans
2017-01-05
h/t Instapundit
On the Wednesday network evening newscasts, ABC’s World News Tonight and NBC Nightly News failed to inform their viewers of an incredibly disturbing alleged beating in Chicago of a developmentally challenged white man by four African-American suspects that was streamed live on Facebook.

The torturing session saw the man (who previously had been reported missing) being bound with tape and bloodied from cuts to his scalp as the suspects laughed at him and shouted "fuck Trump" and "fuck white people."

In hatred and racial polarity:
Trump's millions of crackas
Run wild and attack us...
And where is the black Colin Flaherty?"

#17  JohnQC, I'd like to see hate crime charges to settle once and for all that blacks can be racist as well.

#16  I hear the chicago police are not calling it a hate crime but more like 'just kids being kids'

After a LOT of questioning by local news (and possible 'outside' coercion), the Chicago PD leadership finally came out this afternoon and acknowledged that it was a 'Hate Crime' (and they REALLY squirmed in saying that), but the words 'racial' and 'torturing the disabled' were only used as 'possible motives'.

Being f*cked up little sh*ts that need to be publicly stocked, pilloried and whipped in Daley Plaza was never mentioned.

#11  Throw the book at them. There are sufficient criminal laws in place to put these animals away for a long time without complicating things with PC-motivated "hate" crime charges. The authorities don't need to "hair up the butter" here. This crime(s) is symptomatic of a larger crime problem in Chicago which has cultural roots.

#10  NPR was reporting the story just before 11:00 a.m. ET, including that the miscreants are black, the mentally disabled victim white, and it was streamed in Facebook. So once again the alternative media win. Apparently the miscreants were charged with hate crimes and battery.

#9  I don't know which is more sickening - the act itself or the media and left covering it up.

The cover up which legitimatizes & encourages acts like this.

#8  ABC is now reporting it but omitting references to the perp's race or the racial shouting. they also strongly imply that the victim is to blame for 'going with them willingly' despite he being mentally challenged.

I hear the chicago police are not calling it a hate crime but more like 'just kids being kids'.

#7  Real torture is a watching ABC and NBC

I finally screamed enough that Mrs. Uluque switched to CBS but I'm not sure they're any better. Maybe they're a little less egregious but, still, it's what they don't say that worries me.

#5  Authorities are apparently having a difficult time figuring out whether or not to throw in hate charges.

#3  So there are racists between Blacks too? I can't believe it.

#2  the NYTimes covers the story even giving the racial stuff aend noting the victim's mental condition

here

This should give the TV stations a chance to alter their reporting.
