Watch this video. I find it despicable that six kids would beat this one kid almost to the point of death. Notice how hard and how often he's kicked in the head. That could have caused severe permanent brain injury. And these assholes think they're so tough when it's 6 against 1.

Send them to jail. As a libertarian, I've never felt more in support of hate crime laws in my life. Though I don't necessarily support the idea behind hate crime legislation because I'm worried it may come with unintended consequences, I do find the idea of mandatory prison sentences very appealing in this case.
 
From the Washington Post National.
CHICAGO — Six teenagers were being questioned by Chicago police Tuesday after a video was posted online showing the brutal beating of a 17-year-old by unknown assailants who can be heard repeating racial slurs and making derogatory comments about speaking Chinese.

On the video, several attackers — many with sweat shirt hoods over their heads and some wearing masks — are seen repeatedly kicking and punching the victim to the snow-covered ground Sunday afternoon on the city’s South Side. Authorities said the victim is of Asian descent, but despite the epithets, police said the beating did not appear racially motivated.

We can only hope these 6 "tuffs" get to spend some time in Cook County Juvenile Detetion Center. Am certain with their superior fighting skills they will have no problem......

Chicago police question teens over filmed beating; activists call it racially motivated - The Washington Post
 
This is the most disgusting thing I have ever seen- physically and morally. These kids should be sent to prison. Either that or i'd love to see the **** beat out of them as a punishment. I suppose thats not the American way though... Lol

Hello? Hello? Is there something wrong with this picture? WTF???
 
I'm speechless. This is beyond disgusting. If there is any justice, when they are caught they will receive the maximum possible jail time. I sincerely hope that they are tried as adults. It would be grand if the trail gets a lot of media attention. What creates that kind of hate?
 
Did you watch the other vids after this one? I saw one..two hispanic guys saying that is Effed UP. I agree with them. They said the asian guy was really tough cuz he was not knocked out...or the others beating on him were really weak which is why they had to have 7 instead of one on one. In short...even others that age say that is just WRONG.
 
This is the reason handguns were invented.

They don't call them "equalizers" fer nuthin'
 
That is one of the most deplorable acts of brutality and cowardice that I have ever seen in my life. There are no words to describe what should be done to this ruthless rat pack of dickless thugs.

Absolutely send them to jail. But not for being racially insensitive, send them to jail for ganging up on and brutally beating someone.
 
Not only should the six beating the guy get lengthy sentences, but so should the guy filming. He may not have laid a hand (or foot) on the kid, but he certainly wasn't just an innocent bystander afraid for his life if he interfered. The one kid handed him a pair of gloves to hold then went back to the beating. That's just messed up.

I'm sorry, but this just really makes me think of the Jena 6 case. I have to wonder about how those who viewed the Jena 6 as being charged "harshly" feel about these 6 beaters, who seem to be white and possibly other races, beating on an Asian kid? (Personally, I seriously hope these guys are charged with attempted murder, since it was 6 on 1.)

I still don't think that hate crime legislation is necessary. This sort of assault is not OK in any circumstance. They should go to jail though, I hope they catch the ones responsible.
 
The one that kept saying the N word...he sounded asian himself.
 
That was kinda hard to watch. I got beat down like that by six guys when I was 13. They tried to cap the beating by carving me up with a hawkbill knife; I broke loose and ran, possibly the only thing that kept me alive that day. Bad memories.

The thing is, on a scale of brutality that wasn't even close to the worst. I've seen far and away worse when I was in LE. The evil that ordinary-looking people are capable of never fails to amaze.


And some people wonder why I carry a gun and keep a suspicious eye on my fellow man. :roll:
 
To bad there was noone around to find the closest piece of metal or thick wood and start swinging away until they dispersed. This is why you at least keep a pocket knife on you and when they let their guard down you start wide slashing at neck level. Score a hit on 2 necks and I garentee you they will start running. People that get caught fighting more than 1 on 1 need to be kicked in balls hundreds of times.

I guess the Orange Country (at least thats where I heard it) myth of asian people falling over in 1 hit to the head is unfounded.

I'm not sure if this is even a hate crime. Just looks like a bunch of kids who think they're the ****.

We call each other that when our black friends aren't around. But for anyone wondering about the race of the perpetrators - yes it was a bunch of asian kids beating up a Chinese man. That's probably why the authorities said that it wasn't racially motivated.

I kept waiting for somebody to Kung Fu somebody. 8 Asian people and not ONE of them knows Karate? NOT ONE? What are the odds?
 
sorry to disappoint, not all of us have the Bruce Lee genes.

What about the Chow Yun Fat genes?

I heard on the radio that all seven involved have been arrested -- one is being charged as an adult. Rock on, Chicago LEO's!

I don't know which would be worst, placed in Chicago jail or in Cook County Juvenile Detention Center. Either way these punks are in for a real eye opener.

I find it dispicable myself, but hate crime laws won't change the behavior of humans who act like animals, nor will prison. Prison would likely make it even worse. What actually needs to happen is the perps need to be beat half to death, just as they did to the Chinese guy. They need to really understand what they did by experiencing it themselves.

Sadly, this sort of behavior is becoming all too common in our society. Sadly, it's because many humans can't behave themselves in an atmosphere of freedom without becoming feral.
 
If he had a gun and killed one of them would that be considered legal?
