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.

... and do you know how hard it is to call for a cab with your lips stapled shut????
It is a university town of less than 50,000 people and most of the local population are German/English/Irish by background.
By this time tomorrow, the two attackers will be ex-military Liberty University graduates and Tea Party/NRA members volunteering for Romney who once worked at Chick-Fil-A and worshipped at a nearby Catholic Church and once lived next door to Sarah Palin and dated her cousins.
I am only dreading the “see, other schools in this conference are bad too!” finger pointing coming from Penn State.
Apparently from his twitter:
“I’d really appreciate a retweet. @thegame @myfabolouslife I got my jaw fractured by 2 kids as a hate crime and they stapled inside my mouth.
@myfabolouslife I feel like Frank Lucahhhh, except I’m further uptown in the Heights smoking hookahhhh (NIIICCCEEE).”
He was at a late night party somewhere and says after the attack they threw him out of the house. The people in the house say police told them not to comment.
Also, from another article he says the attackers stated they were “part of the ku klux klan”.
Possibility: Something happened but he made up part of this story
Something about this story does not ring true.
“About 20 people reportedly watched as the men proceeded to staple Zachary Tennen’s mouth shut at the lips and gums. “
AND... these college kids are the future of our nation.
The “20 witnesses” are what the victim reported. The police only said that they had uncovered “some witnesses” and were going to be taking statements from them. It will be interesting to see what these witnesses say and whether they cooroborate the victim.
You might assume that, but since they don’t identity the race of the perpetrators, I’d bet that they are not white. If they were white, the media would definitely report that.
Good thing they did. Otherwise, how would they be able to staple his broken jaw ?
Interesting.
Thanks.
Too bad cell phones don't have a camera built in, or they could have recorded the incident.
Just a daily KOS/CAIR meeting. Someone pointed out the kid’s yellow star.
I have a feeling that it will get a whole lot worse, but it will still be slowly as usual.
That is Dearborn...lol. Wrong city.
20 people stood around and WATCHED!?
Right THERE is a MOST SERIOUS PROBLEM !!!!!!
What the HELL was wrong with them?! For goodness’ sakes!
Pray for America....
” If they were white, the media would definitely report that.”
My belief as well.
There is a lot missing here.
