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.”

To these feral animals, looking at them cockeyed is shouting a racial slur. Or looking at them at all. Or looking away from them. Or being in the same car with them. Or breathing the same air.

That’s just the way “teens” are. They can’t tolerate all that disrespectin’.

Get the picture?

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?

I’m noticing that the comments on the cbs site seem to be disabled for this story. Too bad...they would have been epic.

They need to stop calling them ‘teens’. It evokes an image that is betrayed by the video.

In light of the Feinstein report, is this now considered “torture”?

Yeah, and just like the Democrats on Capital Hill who said the Tea Party spit on them, these guys fall back on the old racial slurs canard.

Time to bitch slap these mother -——— into the 21st Century.

To his credit, that Black man is doing his best to help find out who did it. That shows class.

It’s time the people with class take back over and put an end to this nonsense.

As I understand it, it was filmed by another passenger, not the perps. Nice of him to help out.

I was on the Red LIne one time and this old black woman called out some idiots in a similar incident. Amazingly, they stopped and left the train.

It's not a lethal assault, just bullying, but I don't particularly care.

The thugs need to meet a Charles Bronson or Bernhard Goetz type. Decent people should be safe and should not be molested. Thugs should be removed from society.

With a polar bear?

“I just recorded it because it was funny.”

Obviously, these kids were raised in one of Hillery's villages.
