MSU Student Knocked Unconscious, Mouth Stapled Shut In Alleged Hate Crime
CBS Detroit ^ | August. 28, 2012

EAST LANSING (WWJ) - A Michigan State University student is recovering after he was beaten up and had his mouth stapled shut during what investigators are categorizing as a brutal hate crime.

Zachary Tennen, a 19-year-old sophomore in MSU’s journalism program, said he was at a house party on the 500 block of Spartan Avenue early Sunday morning when two men approached him and asked if he was Jewish. When he responded “Yes,” the two men raised their arms into a Nazi salute and said “Heil Hitler” before knocking him unconscious, according to Tennen’s mother, Tina.

About 20 people reportedly watched as the men proceeded to staple Zachary Tennen’s mouth shut at the lips and gums. His jaw was broken in two places during the attack.

I am sickened by the description of this event the 20 soulless people standing silently by and watching this happen. How can even one decent person remain silent?

As opposed to a "I Like You As A Friend" Crime.

No idea what’s behind this incident, but it sounds like a really weird incident, or was reported oddly.

Why was he attacked? Why were there 20 people there? Why did they kick him out of a house after the attack? Did people help him or not? Why would attackers even have a stapler? Don’t think I’ve heard that one before.

He has a broken jaw, so something happened.

About 20 people reportedly watched as the men proceeded to staple Zachary Tennen’s mouth shut at the lips and gums. His jaw was broken in two places during the attack.

And then the crowd of 20 intervened and beat the attackers to a pulp. Oh wait, no, they just stood there then later kicked Tennen out of the house.

What the *$&# ?!?!

This does not have the usual hallmarks of a hoax - multiple potential independent witnesses, injuries that are very difficult to inflict on yourself.

There is something strange here. Twenty people witnessed this and not one dialed 911 on his cell phone? What kind of people wouldn’t call the police when this happened?

Doesn’t Detroit have a large butt-sniffing muslime population?

If so, perhaps these 20 people were mostly muslime.

If you are a muslime you can’t help a “Jooooo.”

I am curious about the ethnic breakdown of the 20 people and the criminals that did the deed.

The police say others helped him to the hospital, contrary to his quoted statement.

Also from the article:

“They knocked me down really hard … and I assumed someone would help me,” Zachary Tennen said in a statement. “But after some guys at the house basically kicked me out, I had to get a cab.”

What house is he talking about that kicked him out? Maybe bad reporting or more to this story.

My girlfriend had her mouth wired shut one time, she had to carry a pair of wire cutters with her in case she got sick and had to throw up.

Hope they catch the SOBs, they can continue their studies from a jail cell for a nice long time.

The world-wide rise of anti-Semitism is a sure sign of demonic powers rising. Things are close to getting a whole lot worse, very quickly.

Thank the Lord for gun-free campuses. This is a savage act, and if there were truly 20 people watching it unfold, it’s much more disgusting.

Just saw the report was in the Detroit Free Press and the incident was in East Lansing. Regardless, I am still curious as to the description of the criminals and the 20-witnesses. . .no description provided of either. . .odd.

Since this was reported as a “hate crime”, we’ll have to assume that the perps were white.

If they were any other “race”, it could not have been a hate crime.
