An Open Letter to the Four Chicago Kidnappers

You utterly repulse me.

An Open Letter to the Four Chicago Kidnappers
Daily Wire

To the four teens who kidnapped a teen with a mental disability in Chicago on Jan. 4, you utterly disgust me. I can’t find the words to express how completely repulsed with you. There must be something seriously wrong with someone to allow them to physically and emotionally abuse someone who can’t fight back. When I found out, I was speechless. There must be some serious hatred in your heart to make you ever do that to someone. It was not a stupid mistake, as Chicago Commander Kevin Duffin calls it. It was a hate crime, and you should be held to your actions 100 percent.

He was mentally disabled.

If you can sleep with yourselves at night, then you must be way sicker than many. You tortured, cut, screamed at and isolated an innocent teen with a mental disability. You made him feel worthless and terrified for his life. He was humiliated and tortured for the whole world to see.

For the WHOLE WORLD to see.

You went on Facebook live and recorded yourselves doing something so heinous. It went viral. Sending a message? Maybe, but I think you’re just that stupid. First of all, you’re displaying that pain to the world of this poor teen and humiliating him and his family. Secondly, you are essentially turning yourselves in. Anything you put on Facebook can be traced to you by the cops, which is how they found you guys so that you can rot in prison.

Not only have you ruined your own reputation, but you’re adding to the black stereotype.

A race doesn’t make someone bad. White people aren’t bad, Middle Eastern people aren’t bad and black people aren’t bad. It is a single person’s actions that create how that single person is as a human. But racism is still alive and by targeting a white man with disabilities and screaming “f*** white people,” this causes those racist people’s thoughts and feelings against a certain race to be reinforced. It makes black people look bad and take some of the white population’s thoughts and feelings travel back to the 60s.

This is horrible and was beneficial to no one. It didn’t send a message. No one will get on board. Violence solves nothing. Black Lives Matter will not support you. Anti-Trump supporters will not support you. I'm glad you were denied bail and, you should stay in prison for a very long time.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
