Two 20-year-old men were arrested yesterday in Michigan after physically assaulting a disabled man and videotaping it, then posting the video to the 23-year-old victim’s Facebook page.
Authorities say that the two men – eventually identified as Nikey Dashone Walker and Shadeed Dontae Bey – stole a cellphone from a suburban Detroit man with cerebral palsy, beat him, recorded the assault on his cellphone, then promptly posted it to the victim’s Facebook page as well as their own.
WARNING: video is graphic.

The disturbing attack happened on Sunday morning.
Both men have criminal histories, and were arraigned Tuesday on charges of home invasion, unarmed robbery and aggravated assault. Bond was set at $25,000 each and the two men are due back in court next Tuesday, December 8th.
Not only does this attack make you the scum of the Earth, but videotaping it and flaunting it around makes you just plain stupid. Firstly, why the f*ck are you proud of this? Cerebral Palsy is a brain disorder that affects movement, posture, and muscle coordination. Why would you target someone with that? Why would you target ANYONE in the first place?
And secondly, why would you EVER make physical proof of the crime and post it to the Internet?! What part of that sounds like a good idea?!
Here’s hoping you guys get exactly what you deserve.
