lamestream media at its worst.. I can't believe that anyone would fall for their lies and deceit  >:(

I am getting to the stage where I dont believe anything that comes out of America.. from either side or any branch of the media....the country has lost all credibility as far as I am concerned   and I feel sympathy for those on this forum who believe only the side they want to believe... ::) ::)

Its a good thing when we have call outs like that one.

(as long as its not fake)

Thanks for providing your evidence that this was truly not a racial attack, Mechanic.

Cheers.

This is almost as good a fraud as CNN regularly perpetrates.  To be fair, they don't do it all the time for a political agenda, sometimes they just do things for shock value/dramatization. 

The corporate news in the US is no longer journalism; it's low-intelligence infotainment.

As someone earlier mentioned, it's difficult to trust anyone; it's why I don't watch US news channels, and my newsreading begins with a survey of Reuters and then perusals of sources differing opinions on whatever subject that day grabs my interest.  Small city independent newspapers most often provide the most reliable information.

For this story on the "torturers" -- I factchecked Mechanic by going to the Bangor Daily News, in Bangor ME.  Yep, I had to go several states away to get a trustworthy story.

What's really tragic, is the disabled young man was a "friend" of theirs, lured on false pretenses.
Chicago torture shown on Facebook

CHICAGO — Four African-Americans accused of attacking an 18-year-old white man with special needs while making anti-white racial taunts in an assault broadcast on Facebook were ordered held without bail by a Chicago judge Friday.

Jordan Hill, Tesfaye Cooper and sisters Brittany and Tanishia Covington were each charged with aggravated kidnapping, hate crime, aggravated unlawful restraint, and aggravated battery with a deadly weapon Thursday. Tanishia Covington was aged 24, while her sister and the two men were 18.

Judge Maria Kuriakos Ciesil ordered all four held without bail Friday at a Chicago bond court, according to the Circuit Court of Cook County Clerk’s Office.

“I’m looking at each of you and wondering where was the sense of decency that each of you should have had?” Judge Ciesil said, according to the Chicago Tribune. “I don’t see it.”

The four are accused of kidnapping and torturing the man, who had planned to spend the New Year’s holiday with Hill. The man knew Hill from school. A portion of the ordeal was broadcast on Facebook Live, drawing widespread shock and condemnation.

By Jan. 2, the victim’s mother had grown concerned after not hearing from her son. She was able to contact Hill through social media, and she asked for her son to be returned. This angered Hill, assistant state’s attorney Erin Antonietti told members of the media outside the court Friday.

The victim is schizophrenic and suffers from attention deficit disorder, Antonietti said.

She said Hill took the victim to an apartment where he was bound, gagged, beaten and stabbed with a knife while his assailants streamed the incident online. They also shouted obscenities about President-elect Donald Trump and “white people.”

ANNNNNND then....
I discovered something else sick.

Apparently these people tried to extort $300 from his mother to have him returned, as they were torturing him.  And then they dumped him outside to freeze.

"The victim is screaming 'no' in fear when a male walks over to him with a knife and states, 'Should I shank his ass?'" Antonietti said, quoting a statement that she had read earlier in court.

During the attack, Hill contacted the victim's mother and demanded $300 in exchange for her son, Antonietti said.

Police located the victim on Tuesday after neighbors complained about noise coming from the apartment. He was disoriented and wearing shorts in freezing weather, police said. The four are scheduled to appear next in court on Jan. 27.

disgusting behaviour...

these people are animals...

and whats worse, is the silence from people like Meryl Streep..

she's made herself "Champion" for the Handicapped people hasn't she??

why is she so quiet on this issue while doing a political stunt at the Globes when she "thought" Trump made "FUN" of a handicapped person??
