Facebook Video Shows Teens Slapping, Taunting Older Man On CTA Train
cbslocal Chicago ^ | 12-11-2104

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.

WBBM’s 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.

It’s 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 didn’t 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 didn’t take part in slapping the man.

“I don’t know why they did what they did,” he tells WBBM. “I just recorded it because it was funny.”

The CTA doesn’t 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.”

Even caught on video they give the same excuse: "we din't do nuffin!"

Exactly why cams on cops is a hopeless exercise. The defendants, and their lawyers, will just argue the video was "tampered with." People like this have zero respect for the truth.

Those children were on their way to the science museum to complete their AP Chemistry research paper, and were totally fearing for their lives by this cracka racist KKK Nazi that radiated the smug slave owner white privilege aura that set off a trigger in this fine lads that caused them to assume a justifiable defense posture that helped them avoid a lynching!

Justice for....these guys! Burn this b*tch down!!!!

To the Afreakin American: Just keep exposing your culture of bile to the nation, the knockout game, Ferguson, NYC, beating old vets to death and other random crimes of excessive violence. It won’t be much longer when even the ignorant liberal establishment will run out, or just tire, of making excuses for you and you’ll be left with no more artificial support.

Whatever was in it for them, you’re quickly taking away, they’re leaving you. The nation at large grows weary of you, your baseless excuses for failure and your culture of depravity. All you’ve proven is your love of self and everything wrong, along with your absolute inability to take care of yourselves without help. Even with help it’s not enough - see “Somalia.”

Perhaps soon we can quietly execute proper societal countermeasures. The media won’t dig you out of the hole. Everyone sees through your manufactured, morally destitute, intellectually vacant excuses and the Nielson ratings you generate will feed your own backlash.

To the evolutionist, you’re the embodiment of speechless neanderthal throwbacks; to the Christian, the embodiment of evil. Like a demanding child that never sleeps, you drain us on every level, You stand against anything good for the sake of opposition and it is dawning on the masses that there is no solution to, or for, you - save one. Good luck.

It’s a good film but for just an ordinary guy getting a bellyful, I like “Falling Down”. Is there any one of us who can’t identify with Bill Foster (Michael Douglas)?

Two young black thugs and a senior citizen. Not likely the senior citizen was using racial slurs. That would have been really foolish of him.

"I sincere wish the man was armed, and would have shot these punks in the face. Repeatedly."

If he had of defended himself and shot these "unarmed teens," he would be in jail now with thousands of "peaceful protesters" outside the jail burning, looting, and demanding his immediate execution. Eric Holder would be in town investigating a Civil Rights violation, Barack Hussein would be on TV crying, "If I had sons," and Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson would be creating more "Tax Free" wealth.

No, the old man did right by avoiding offending the "Entitled Race." /heavy sarcasm

There is no getting around certain large and troubling implications of black-white differences. The implications seem most troubling when you turn from the average differences and focus instead on the differences at the extreme -- when you contrast the two overlapping bell-shaped distribution curves and look at the proportions in each group scoring above and below certain levels. If you tell yourself that the top professional and managerial jobs in this country require an IQ of at least 115 or thereabouts, then you also have to tell yourself that only about 2.5 percent of blacks appear able to compete for those jobs. The comparable figure for whites would be about 16 percent. Total black population with IQs over 115: 800,000. Comparable figure for whites: about 30 million. If blacks had the same IQ distribution as whites, the black total would be over 5 million.

IQ DistributionThe data are even more depressing on the downside. An IQ in the 70-75 range, which many psychologists would label "borderline retarded," implies a life that is guaranteed to be short of opportunities. Very few students in that range will absorb much of what elementary schools teach, and virtually none will graduate from high school; few will succeed in finding and keeping good jobs. None will be admitted into the armed forces (required by law to screen out the lowest ten percent of the distribution). The bad news is that a substantial minority -- apparently more than one in five -- of American blacks have IQs below 75. Around one in twenty whites are below 75.

The black-white gap is 15 points when measured on the Wechsler tests, 18 on the Stanford-Binet. Both tests are, of course, normed so as to produce an average of 100, but the white average is a bit higher. On the Wechsler metric, whites and blacks average 102 and 87, respectively. On both tests, the gap between the races is almost exactly 1 SD (standard deviation). The gap of 1 SD has been observed since the earliest days of intelligence testing.

There are also significant black-white differences in the structure of mental abilities. The test-score patterns show that the two groups are good at different things. On average, whites do better on all the subtests, but their margin of superiority varies considerably from one subtest to another. Or look at it this way: If you took a sample of black and white children, all of whom had scored around 100 on the WISC-R -- that is, the black kids in the sample were above the black average -- you would expect to find significant black-white differences on six of the thirteen subtests. The average black kid would do better on Arithmetic and Digit Span; the average white kid would do better on Comprehension, Block Design, Object Assembly, and Mazes ...

These subtest differences have one common theme, and its name is g. The tests on which the gap is greatest are those with the most g-loading -- which means, in general, those that call most heavily on reasoning and problem-solving abilities. The June 1985 issue of The Behavioral and Brain Sciences carries a long report by Arthur Jensen analyzing eleven sizable studies of black-white IQ differences. The underlying data had been collected by different researchers at different times (but none before 1970). All the studies had several things in common: All were based on large population samples, all measured a broad range of mental abilities, and all included black-white breakdowns of their various subtests.

In all eleven studies, Jensen found consistently strong positive correlations between the size of the black-white gap on subtests and the extent to which the subtests called on g ... The correlation coefficient, after appropriate adjustments, appears to be well above .60.

In other words, the black-white IQ gap is in large measure a reflection of differences in reasoning and problem-solving ability.

This was not exactly news in 1985. Long before Jensen set out to quantify the "g effect" in black-white differences, it was generally well known that the differences were greatest in measures of abstract reasoning, not so great in measures of verbal skill, smallest of all in memory and rote learning.

Excerpted from A Question of Intelligence: The IQ Debate in America (New York: Birch Lane, 1992), 150-153.

I was watching the Wendy Williams show this morning with Chris Rock as guest. He said he liked being famous and rich because he gets treated like he’s “white.” I wonder if the white man on the subway feels like he’s getting special treatment for his race?

Yes, and futhermore he owes these feral punks reparations because his white racist forefathers wrote the Constitution, the document that enshrined his white privilege.

The article shows how the street savage “minds” work.
“he was saying some racial slurs” excusing their criminal behavior with lies.
“I just recorded it because it was funny.” Enjoying the suffering of a fellow human being, that they caused.
They know they will get away with their crime due to the protective pigmentation that they enjoy.
