Black Lives Matter Chicago
about 2 years ago

What happened to the young man who was held captive and tortured is terrible and we condemn the violence that was perpetrated against him. We've stated time and time again, that we're against all types of harm and violence perpetrated and we've never condoned it. So this is absolutely perplexing and twisted that people are associating this atrocity with this organization and movement.

The other thing is they were all arrested and will probably be convicted to the fullest ex...tent of the law. These teens will be punished for what they did because that is what the system does.

There won't be a restorative justice process, they won't be able to make amends and redress the harm they caused. They won't be able to work towards recompense and repair the harm they committed. Nope the system will ensure the cycle of violence continues. We don't consider this justice for the victim.

But you all don't care. You want to sensationalize this and use it as a justification to generalize and criticize. If you really cared about the victim then you'd be advocating for their care and treatment for trauma. That's what we want. We want centers for healing and mental health care. However, some people are more concerned with attacking us and they don't see how demented that is.

We want restoration, healing and justice, take your hate and sadistic intentions somewhere else...
