在对种族歧视、性别歧视和暴力说Zero Tolerance的学校及其所有的公共场所,这起参与者自己录制的殴打、抢劫案在YouTube上发出后不仅在美国引起公愤,在包括中国等几个其他国家也引起不同反响。美国网民迅速人肉了打人的匪徒,芝加哥警察逮捕了这七名看上去十分冷血的少年,其中一名是个女孩儿。
现在还不确定这个暴力事件与种族歧视有关,但面对这样的事件,我们无法装瞎。尤其是青少年的父母们,他们在哺育培养孩子的同时最关心的还是孩子们的安全。
暴力就是暴力,也许法律上对暴力的“等级”有所区分,但它们的实质是一样的。网络可以传播暴力,我们就可以用它来人肉罪犯和人渣!

7 teens, including a girl, arrested in brutal beating of Chicago
boy
纽约每日新闻
Chicago police have charged seven teens, including one girl, in
the ruthless gang beating of a 17-year-old boy that was captured in
a sickening YouTube video.
Only one of the teens was identified. Seventeen-year-old Raymond
Palomino — who appears to be the only one the video not wearing a
ski mask — was charged as an adult with robbery and aggravated
battery, according to the Chicago Tribune.
Two 16-year-olds and three 15-year-olds, which includes the
girl, were charged as juveniles with robbery and aggravated
battery. Their names were not released.
Windy City police said the beating happened in a snowy alley
Sunday at around 4:00 p.m. in the working-class neighborhood of
Bridgeport, on the city's South Side.
The 17-year-old victim, who is Asian, is a senior at Curie High
School, the Tribune said, but hasn't been identified.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel described the video and its graphic crime as
“not tolerable.”
“It does not represent what this city’s values are and the good
people of this city,” he said during a press conference, according
to NBC 5 in Chicago.
The graphic video captured the mob laughing maniacally as they
mercilessly pummel and stomp the defenseless boy's head while
heckling him with racial slurs.
"A random little kid. F--- his a-- up," one of the punks sneers,
as another pounds the victim in the head with a Nike sneaker swiped
from his own backpack.
At one point, the ringleader of the mob, dressed in a gray
sweatshirt and black ski mask, stands the boy up and threatens to
kill him.
"Am I speaking Chinese to you, n-----?" the ringleader
screams.
Another boy — who appears to be Palomino — demands the victim's
backpack.
When he refuses, the mob resumes the attack, tearing at his
clothes and jacket, punching him in the face and slamming him on
the ground.
Blood pours from the boy's nose and mouth as he begs to be let
go.
Finally, after nearly four minutes, the boy manages to break
free and runs away.
The video ends with his attackers pursuing him down the
alley.
Cops don't believe the attack was racially motivated.
Along with the shoes, the gang took the teen's wallet and $180
in cash.
The teen was treated at Mercy Hospital and Medical Center for a
split lip, bruises and cuts and later released, cops said.
Palomino was expected to appear in court on Wednesday, while the
others were turned over to juvenile authorities.
