"The video, which was posted on Facebook on Tuesday using the social network's "Live" feature, was taken by a woman who appeared to be in her teens or early 20s and featured a group beating a man who was bound and gagged. At one point in the video, the victim is slapped repeatedly and is seen bleeding from his scalp.
Throughout the video, people can be heard saying "F*** Donald Trump" and "F*** white people," among other things. At one point, the woman taking the video laughs at how her sister had commented telling her to stop beating the man.
FOX 32 Chicago shared a short clip of the stream to their Facebook page. The full video, which will not be shared here, was posted on Reddit and YouTube."
Comment: As Joe Quinn explained on the latest Behind the Headlines, this public sentiment in the UK, particularly in rural England, was fundamental to people's decision to vote in favour of Brexit. Decades of the 'war on terror' and subsequent rising waves of immigration to Europe from war zones had the effect of making people wish to 'close the borders to foreigners'. In large part, they're right to be concerned. But the polarization involved is potentially very dangerous. No matter how you slice it, it comes back to the idiots in charge who first thought they'd be able to destroy the Middle East without any repercussions, then take in all the "refugees", again, without any consequences. Now they've created another giant mess with Brexit. What are the chances they fix it? Not very good, judging by their track record.
