On October 23, 2015 three white high school football players attacked a mentally ill black teammate. They lured him into the locker room, before pretending to offer him a hug.  Then they held him down and put a wire hanger in his ass.  One of them kicked the wire hanger several times, forcing it further into the kid's body.  They allegedly yelled racial several racial slurs to him during this attack. One of the attackers, John R.K. Howard plead guilty and avoided jail time.  He instead will get 2-3 years probation and 300 hours of community service.  The other attackers are Tanner Ward, and an unidentified person who was 16 at the time of the attack.

Recently a story in Chicago has gathered a lot of attention.  A mentally ill white man was kidnapped and tortured by a group for 4 black people.  Three of them are 18 years old.  Those 18 year olds are Jordan Hill, Tesfaye Cooper, and Brittany Covington.  The other person involved is Brittany's older sister Tanishia Covington.  The victim was held for 2 days.  He was forced to say "fuck Trump" and "fuck white people", among other things.  Part of the incident was recorded on Facebook Live by Brittany.  The victim was forced to drink toilet water, had his head cut to the point that some white meat was visible, had cigarette ashes dumped into that same scar like it was an ash tray, and was hit several times.  During the incident the blacks shouted "fuck Trump", and "fuck white people".  The victim had his arms and legs tied up, and had something covering his mouth.  All of those things are on the video, so it's going to be hard to spin that narrative in court.

So taking away the races of victim and perpetrators, which one would you expect to get worse punishment in a court of law.  The answer should be the second.  For one that is a case of kidnapping, which in itself is a crime.  The victim was kidnapped and held for 2 days, which hasn't been talked about much.  Then there is the torture which is captured on video, which is enough in itself to result in serious punishment.  I also have to wonder about what wasn't captured on video.  The man was held against his will for 2 days, and only a small minority of that time was captured on the video.   That hasn't stopped people from equating the two events.  Shaun King brought up the wire hanger attack when talking about why he won't speak up against the assault.   That is a big reason why people are once again talking about the wire hanger attack.  It's as if people like Shaun King, don't want to condemn the kidnappers, but want to speak on the incident  so they play the victim card and mention some shit they feel white people did wrong.  How hard is it to condemn the kidnappers.  What they did was horrible, and should be treated as such.  Or at least some of these people should just come out and say "fuck white people", instead of hiding their racism by pretending that they are freedom fighters.

Update-The unnamed person was 16 at the time of the attack, and I said he was 17 before I corrected it
