Yesterday , four teenswere apprehendedin Chicago on charges of stamp battery . While in police detainment , they were determined to be the same assailants depicted in a Facebook Live video which has since been uploaded ( and deleted ) unnumberable times on other platforms , wherein the same adolescentsfilmed themselvestorturing a vernal man with mental disabilities . You might have seen something about it on Twitter associated with the hashtag # blmkidnapping .

The half - hour video is deeply disconcerting and was pulled from Facebook on account of its glorification of condemnable acts . Over those 30 minutes , the victim is beat , cut , and forced to drink pee from a toilette . “ Fuck Trump ” and “ fuck white the great unwashed ” are pick up as the kidnappers — all smutty — attack their prisoner , a white human beings . And there ’s the hitch .
Anyone with a tag end of empathy can agree it ’s a flagitious routine , and determination as to whether the kidnapping and subsequent attacks were racially or politically motivated are currently being investigated by constabulary . But how exactly are these teens tied to the Black Lives subject movement ? The short response is : they ’re not .
Not one legitimate news program source linked the attack to BLM for the simple reason that no grounds of such a connection exists . Nor did I discover the movement being call forth at any gunpoint during the 30 - second video , which I watch in its entireness . An decision maker of Centipede Central — a democratic Trump supporter chatroom — was able-bodied to discover the Facebook Sir Frederick Handley Page of Brittany Herring , the young woman who filmed the act . Her public Emily Price Post , which stretch out back to September 2015 , have no point of reference to BLM either .

So how did we get from a turn one’s stomach but isolated criminal case to an bill of indictment of Black Lives Matter ? It appears this campaign of disinformation began with none other than Mike Cernovich , the nootropic - pop mouthbreather who wasrecently exposedas a “ massive cuck ” by his own alt - right brethren . Hisblog postdoes nothing to rootage title that the attackers were in any way tie in with Black Lives Matter . ( The position also require reviewer to help oneself fund “ honest news media ” through Cernovich ’s Patreon page . )
Chicago hate criminal offence law . This is intelligibly a hate crime . Why have Chicago law refused to tag it that?#BLMKidnappingpic.twitter.com/1sCB580JW5

( take down though that Watson , despite drawing the connection explicitly in his tweet , does not mention BLM at all in theInfowars web log posthe wrote on the snatch . )
We can all tally that snatch and straining are wrong . But the logical bound from “ pitch-dark people suffer a white guy ” to “ Black Lives Matter are terrorist ” is bizarre and groundless — spurred on by a unmarried tweet from a guy be intimate to make whoreson up , and an hearing glad to fertilize into a fantasy version of the earthly concern where all black masses are criminals . Race - baiting and outright Trygve Halvden Lie are the business organisation manakin for many straw man in the alt - right , and soon , in all likeliness most of them will pretend they never said any of this .
Update 1/5/17 4:18pm EST : According to CNNthe four individuals responsible have been level with a hate offense , felony exasperate kidnapping , exacerbate unlawful restraint and exacerbate battery .
4chan ’s /pol/ was prompt to celebrate as only they can . Gizmodo wishes a speedy recovery to the victim .
