A post was made on an online community site that revealed a group of students at a college dorm was beating up a disabled classmate. The post was made by the victim's father's friend and quickly gained traction online.

Once investigations were launched, it was found that five students had harassed the disabled student in various ways, for example locking him in his dorm for 4 days, tying his hands back and taping them onto a plastic hanger before beating him, pulling his penis, preventing him from going to the bathroom, forcing him to stay awake by making him sit a certain way, shoving a wet rag in his mouth and taping him from head to toe before beating him with a clothes hanger, etc.

The reason for the abuse was claimed to be because "he didn't pay back the money he owed". The victim had apparently borrowed some money and the students offered to beat him for the amount he had borrowed.

The school is denying some specific parts of the abuse like the students stealing his card and is also claiming that the victim is not disabled.

1. [+3,790, -32] They seriously beat him because he owed them money? Those students don't deserve a college education at all. Expel them and show them just how scary the law can be with a prison sentence so that this doesn't happen again.

2. [+3,266, -29] What's the point of graduating college when you're not even a human being

3. [+2,784, -193] Jeez... college isn't what it used to be.

4. [+1,805, -39] I have a hard time believing that a disabled kid borrowed money from them. And his parents are union head members, surely they could've paid them off???

5. [+431, -2] These kids need to be expelled

6. [+418, -3] The kids who bullied in junior and high school don't change just because they're in college now. They'll act the same in college or in the army..

7. [+206, -4] Why'd they even bother going to college if they couldn't grow out of their iljin ways ㅋㅋ

8. [+162, -8] Why is the school investigating this when it should be the police's job?

1. [+249, -7] Please reveal the faces and names of the kids so that it can set an example for the rest of them.

2. [+220, -2] You would think that at college age, you would've matured enough to grow out of the bullying from junior and high school.. looks like there are plenty of people who aren't quite the adults that college students are expected to be.

3. [+194, -3] Please release the college name and the names of the kids...

4. [+147, -17] Seoul University - group of students caught cheating, professor sexually harassed a student. Korea University - group raped a female classmate. Other colleges - various cases of assault. In the end, it's not the college that matters, it's the fact that none of these kids were raised on any proper morals.

5. [+118, -2] These trashy kids honestly thought they had any right to beat another student because what? They were a few bucks short on buying their chicken? I hope they get locked up for four days and get beat by 5 people exactly like they did to him.
