    How so? Especially considering that most of the thug rats aren't employed.

    In Facebook torture, victim’s eyes terrify most.

    There’s a lot to unpack from Chicago’s latest racial outrage, the Facebook Torture Case, and it’s ugly, so let’s get to it.

    You know the news. Four African-Americans were charged Thursday with hate crimes in the alleged kidnapping and torture of a bound, white and mentally disabled young man.

    Police said they beat him, forced him to drink toilet water, jabbed at him with a knife and cut his scalp, shouting “F—white people!” and “F— [Donald] Trump!” and laughing while smoking blunts and streaming it all live on Facebook.

    I watched some, not all of that video, the way they brutalized that young man, the terror in his eyes, hearing their laughter. And I realized these were human beings, amusing themselves with the pain of a mentally disabled man. There are many words for this, but irredeemable is the one that comes to mind.

    http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/...cebook-torture-kass-0106-20170105-column.html

    There are other elements of this heater case that should be acknowledged, like the politics of this thing. It’s crawling with politics now.

    It’s partly a racial thing so let’s talk race. If the races were reversed, and a mentally disabled black kid were tortured by white barbarians, the political left would be screaming that over-the-top political rhetoric from the right had trickled down and encouraged the brutes. You can argue with me about this, but that won’t change it.

    Yet it’s the other way now, isn’t it? And the political right is arguing that anti-Trump rants from the left — including casting white males as the political enemy — have given license to this kind of thing. The two sides will slap-fight each other over this on social media, in anonymous and hateful comments under online news stories, and they’ll slap each other in the journals.

    And this is how we craft political weapons from human misery.

    But there is another kind of politics at work here, as well, the politics of Chicago musical chairs. From the moment the torture video went viral, picked up by the cable news networks and replayed, over and over, and as talking heads debated whether “evil” was the appropriate word, Chicago politicians hunkered down.

    You weren’t in the meetings and neither was I, but you can envision them huddling in three distinct groups: One group with Mayor Rahm Emanuel and his people; another with new Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx and hers; and a third with Eddie Johnson with his white shirt supervisors and detectives. And in each one, there must have been some staffers, staring at their phones, wondering if this heater case would burn their boss when the music stopped.

    Foxx seemed to never miss a camera during the Laquan McDonald controversy. When that video finally surfaced after the mayoral election, showing the white cop shooting a black kid 16 times, Foxx won her election.

    She was all over the news then, but for this case, she was rather reserved, though her office pressed the charges.

    And Emanuel, hoping to rehabilitate himself with black voters after the way he handled the McDonald fiasco, waited until the water was warm.

    Most of it was left to Johnson, and he made sure to hit his main political talking point early in his Thursday news conference, as the charges were read and national news was made.

    Why are Democrat-run cities such cesspits of political violence and political incompetence?

    Being able to name the toilet doesn't make the product any more than raw sewage.

    So you consider those pictured the cream of the crop in society? Or do you see them for the inbred hicks they truly are?

    And you know they are inbred just how? Besides if they're gainfully employed ( likely) then that puts them miles ahead of the inner city crowd.

    And how many of those goobers do you think are actually employed? Ever sat in a food stamp office and observed the clientele? Especially in the Deep South. As a former DHS caseworker, I did for a decade, in Texas, and the lobby looked awfully Aryan on a daily basis.

    Could be if these thugs were at work being productive members of society they wouldn't have time or inclination to terrorize and this attack is just what this is, Domestic terrorism. Isn't it the left's go to argument that if these people had jobs they wouldn't be out doing crime?

    That is because nobody tries to justify the White guy killing the cop.

    Moreover, nobody holds protests and nobody riots when a cop kills a White guy who is trying to grab the cop's gun.

    Nobody riots when a cop kills a White guy who is aiming a gun at him.

    Nobody protests when a White guy is beaten or put in a sleeper hold while resisting arrest.

    Of course not!

    What I think people want is for the Democrats and other leftists to recognize that this is exactly what it looks like when for years people are not just told that Black lives matter, but also that people who say "All lives matter" had better apologize for saying it.

    Of course the result is that these sadistic little @ssh#les thought that this poor White kid's life does not matter.

    What did you expect to happen?

    What I think people want is for the Democrats and other leftists to recognize that this is exactly what ANYONE should expect when people criticize those who say "All lives Matter," and then defend those who boo the statement "All lives Matter."

    What I think people want is for the Democrats and other leftists to recognize that this kind of racist cruelty is exactly what ANYONE could predict when US government officials including the President publicly support racist movements like Black Lives Matter.

    What I think people want is for the Democrats and other leftists to recognize that this is exactly what ANYONE should expect when people think that it is okay to defend people who publicly tell White People (or anyone else) to get to the back of the crowd at protest events simply because of their race.

    This is also what happens when Republican wussies publicly apologize for saying that all lives matter.

    What I think people want is for the leftists and Democrats to finally admit that a shamefully large amount of American racism, bigotry, and intolerance is perpetrated, justified, perpetuated and institutionalized by the left.

    I talk from history, which when one group is constantly accusing another group of something as abhorrent as physically harming the other group the outcome is not going to be a good one. It's the Hatfield's and McCoy's all over again.

    We live in a time now that doesn't have the ugliness of 70 years ago. No one is lynching anyone, so now it sparks violence by just the words people use. There are idiots on both sides of this issue, but I make no excuse whatsoever about the POS Dylan Roof's and these 4. Their actions deserve a bullet to the head as far as I'm concerned, and trying to understand that behavior is futile.

    Reality is what it is. Your belief and/or participation is entirely optional.

    Give me a forum member's statement that has justified someone black killing a cop.

    Did Amadou Diallo try and grab the cop's gun?

    Did Walter Scoot try and grab the officer's gun?



    When did black folks riot over that?

    There is no need to, because the cop is usually brought to the Bar of Justice for his actions.


    What I think is you don't have a clue, get out in the real world and talk to some folks and stop listening to Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity all day.

    So are you saying racism and discrimination in this country is a thing of the past.

    Racism is not in your face as it was 70yrs ago, it is more subtle in today's society.

    I am not going to make an excuse for these 4 cowards either. I agree they need a bullet to their heads, but not before they are made to suffer for awhile.

    It's hardly reality and strictly anecdotal if not outright fantasy on your part. Just because you say it, doesn't make it so.

    Why you keep saying, "what people want... " followed by "leftists, Democrats" like leftists aren't people?

    Furthermore, there were MANY defending cops who killed folks.

    I hear ya, but my problem with the left on this issue is they use the loss of Hillary to paint anyone who voted for Trump as "Racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic, you name it." And the lemming left regurgitate that and actually believe it.

    All what you just wrote describes the thinly skinned oversensitive blacks like yourself. It has gotten so bad the police don't want to patrol black neighborhoods like Chicago, so now they are just eating each other, and murdering innocent people. When a person is a POS, it doesn't matter what their skin color is. I am all for body cameras for police, because i have witnessed time after time when I lived in the city how, "in your face" blacks get when they are pulled over for speeding.

    Michael Brown made this environment as toxic as it is, and he was one of those POS people I describe, but it didn't stop the race baiters to spread the lie that he is some innocent 18 year old. 3 investigations, and the police officer was exonerated, but it ruined his life. There are bad cops, but for the most part, this outrage coming from people like you pick the wrong one's to be outraged about.

    Thanks for saying it. My experience is that almost all people are of good will and kind intentions.

    I think the most basic difference between conservatives and liberals (on the American spectrum) is that conservatives want people to have equality of opportunity (and want strict meritocracy), whereas liberals want equality of outcome (and therefore want to circumvent or diminish meritocracy.)

    Republicans tend to want individuals to have more freedom, including the freedom to fail and be independently poor, but thoroughly adult. Democrats tend to want individuals to have more security, and the government interference that necessarily comes with that security, and which results in the infantilization of those cared for by the government.

    This is a gross generalization about a continuum of belief, but it demonstrates a lot about how divergent values (freedom vice security) lead to such different political policies, attitudes, and beliefs.

    I do not think leftists have evil intentions, but intent is immaterial in the face of the havoc caused by self-righteous meddling. (Remember that Hitler and Stalin were both leftists.)

    I do not think any of us on the right have evil intentions, but I do recognize that leaving people to sink or swim on their own means that a lot of very nice, but very weak people will suffer, which is an ugly and unhappy reality.

    Unless, of course, what I have said is, in fact, the unvarnished truth. Your inability to accept truth is a reflection of your own ideological rigidity, and does not affect said truth one iota. Any time you want to debate the finer points of SNAP, TANF, and/or Medicaid/CHIP eligibility in Texas, however, just let me know. I'll use small words and try not to confuse you with too much jargon... [​IMG]
