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.

*Viewer Discretion Advised*


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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
