CHICAGO — Six teenagers were being questioned by Chicago police Tuesday after a video was posted online showing the brutal beating of a 17-year-old by unknown assailants who can be heard repeating racial slurs and making derogatory comments about speaking Chinese.
On the video, several attackers — many with sweat shirt hoods over their heads and some wearing masks — are seen repeatedly kicking and punching the victim to the snow-covered ground Sunday afternoon on the city’s South Side. Authorities said the victim is of Asian descent, but despite the epithets, police said the beating did not appear racially motivated.

Send them to jail. As a libertarian, I've never felt more in support of hate crime laws in my life. Though I don't necessarily support the idea behind hate crime legislation because I'm worried it may come with unintended consequences, I do find the idea of mandatory prison sentences very appealing in this case.
Watch this video. I find it despicable that six kids would beat this one kid almost to the point of death. Notice how hard and how often he's kicked in the head. That could have caused severe permanent brain injury. And these assholes think they're so tough when it's 6 against 1.

The one that kept saying the N word...he sounded asian himself.
We call each other that when our black friends aren't around. But for anyone wondering about the race of the perpetrators - yes it was a bunch of asian kids beating up a Chinese man.
I kept waiting for somebody to Kung Fu somebody. 8 Asian people and not ONE of them knows Karate? NOT ONE? What are the odds?
sorry to disappoint, not all of us have the Bruce Lee genes.
I heard on the radio that all seven involved have been arrested -- one is being charged as an adult. Rock on, Chicago LEO's!
