Latest News Headlines: (CBS) A video posted on Facebook is generating hundreds of responses, and it shows at least two young men on a CTA Blue Line train, slapping an older man and taunting him.
WBBMs Steve Miller has spoken with one of those young men about why he did it.
The video goes on for more than two minutes. It shows at least two young men, both African American, slapping an older man on top of his head.
And then they appear to tease him.
Its been shared dozens of times on Facebook, but originally was posted by a young man who says he shot the video and was apparently part of the group that mistreated the older man.
WBBM emailed the young videographer, and he called back.
We didnt do nothing. We got on the train and he was saying some racial slurs, he says.
The young man calls himself A-T-L. He says he didnt take part in slapping the man.
I dont know why they did what they did, he tells WBBM. I just recorded it because it was funny.
The CTA doesnt find it funny.
Though this crime apparently was not reported, because neither CTA nor Chicago Police have a report of the incident, we are pulling additional video to share with police as part of a now-open investigation, the agency said. We encourage members of the public who witness a crime to report it immediately, especially if they have evidence such as a video. Incidents like this are rare on the CTA.
Awesome & Excellent Post!
Thanks, sometimes passion and a huge thirst for justice takes over.
haha! So painful to read, yet so true.
Those who disagree with anything you so eloquently said in that post, don’t care nor want justice.
You should write books!
....or are blind liberals, or Pajama Boy, or A.A.
Thanks, I am actually writing a novel, a mystery thriller. I hope I can finish it and fill the vacuum left by Vince Flynn:-0
“....or are blind liberals, or Pajama Boy, or A.A.”
Exactly!

You have the talent for it, not too many people do—but I can tell from that post you DO HAVE IT! Good luck & God Bless on that venture!
I wouldn't take MARTA even with a gun.
Young men, African American? No way. Their behavior indicates that there is another word that more correctly describes them. But it would get me suspended or banned.
Funny, they're "two young men" when they're smacking people and laughing it up.
Soon as someone properly plugs these thugs, they'll be "just little boys who din't do nuffin".
I wonder if the victim had a gun... oh wait Chicago is a gun free zone..
