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.

Something very off about this whole deal. He's talking in the video, doesn't look like he's bad off at all. The staple - he said he found it between his teeth coming up from his gums once he woke up. This story stinks.

One DECENT person could NOT watch this attack.

Really. Lot lighter sentences for love crimes.

The whole video would not load for me...did he describe his attackers at all? There is no description in the article...strange indeed. I need to hear from witnesses...and why are the Lansing cops incommunicado?

No it means that the perps were no white Christian males and therefore could not be blamed on T Party activism,

Muslims for sure. Religion of peace.

The party was muslims and they wanted to get the Joo kicked out of the party. So call some friends to come over and do the deed.

Were there actually twenty people or did he say there were twenty people. This story just seems to have a non believable sense to it!!

I’m thinkin’ there was a whole lot of alcohol involved in whatever actually happened. This story may change a lot in the next few days.

This doesn’t pass my whiff test. We aren’t even close to the truth yet.

"They were making Nazi and Hitler symbols and they said they were part of the KKK," he said. That's all that was caught in the video. And he described his injury somewhat. The police, from best I can tell, weren't involved at the time of the incident. That is to say, he went to the hospital but didn't call the police, as best I can tell. Very weird.

If this had been a minority of color it would have been all over the national news. This is a very sick generation coming up

Look at the video compared to the graduation picture below it. This kid’s entire lower face is swollen.

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?

A bunch of underage kids getting drunk at a house party who don't want to get busted by the cops.

A bunch of underage kids who grew up coddled and likely never experienced having their ass whipped or even having seen a bad ass whipping. My guess is that they were scared crapless.........

My initial thought is that the assailants are anarchists with a nazi leaning but I suspect they are just wannabe punks with a 12 pack of beer in their belly, cruising the area looking for a party to crash and somebody to beat up. I also don't believe for a second that they are members of the student community but rather locals with an axe to grind..........

Yep...strange place for a busted jaw from a punch, I believe. Is there an ENT man/woman around?

Nobody took photos or video? 20 people just watched? I’m sorry but I don’t believe this.

After watching the video, I take back my previous assessment. Underage drinking was involved and admitted to, so I suspect the kid got punched out for whatever reason and had to come up with a bogus story to tell his parents.

As for the broken jaw, that sometimes happens when you get punched out........

And the staple? It certainly wasn't imbedded by a stapler, most likely it ended up there due to him doing something stupid like eating an object on a dare that happened to have a staple embedded in it.......
