Black people can't be racist, that white retarded boy was in a position of power and thus deserved everything that happened to him because on dead native Americans in the past.

BS!!! When you kidnap a person tie them up and torture them you are as bad as Roof. What will happen next time? Maybe the next one won't be so lucky.

But you're a nice guy and I think you take it personally when people go overboard with their criticism. Forget the racists that threads like this bring out - you're never going to get rid of them, just like I can't get rid of the black racists here. You and I don't respect these people anyway, so who cares what they post? I don't.

You want to control the dialogue and you can't do that. So what are your choices? Either work on not taking things personally and ignore the racists, or stay out of threads like this knowing some of the posts will be from the racists.

Your third choice is continue to try and stop people from posting - and that hasn't worked, so why expend the time and energy?
I know there are Black people who call this crap out. I call this out simply because this is about right and wrong. I denounce stupidity in general.

About the racists, we can't control the dialogue. However, we can watch out for violations of TOS.

I've been reading your thoughtful posts for years and I just lost all respect for you. Being an e-snitch & trying to censure people who's opinions you don't like, no matter how ignorant, is cowardly.

Also add in the young man was special needs. Yet, someone claimed they were strong black men.....really not sure how anyone gets "strong' when picking on weaker people!

You can enjoy hunting, fishing, and being with your family without being a redneck. Like I said, being a rural dweller doesn't constitute redneck. I know people who are rural dwellers themselves who don't fit the traits of a redneck.
So you are diverting away from these thugs who hate white people and Trump, torturing a white person, using this article to justify their behavior?

Actually, said person was commenting on the way those thugs talk. I offered an analysis of it.

Those thugs must have wanted to go to prison pretty badly to have this streamed.
Tribune reporting it was 2 girls and 2 guys involved in the beating.

Something does not feel right about the story or perhaps it's the reporting or too many missing pieces of this puzzle. The victim is reportedly mentally impaired and goes off with a friend to a distant suburb and meets up with others and they steal a car and drive to the city. The victim ends up in an apartment getting a smack down while it's live streamed to facebook.

The victim is subsequently found wandering the streets. He was taken to a hospital and released. No doubt more will be revealed.

Does it surprise anyone that the girl taping this had a court date less than two weeks ago for something else? Some people just can not be fixed.

Agreed. Something doesn't smell right here. Could be a hoax of some sort, imo.
