Hanford, Calif. (KMPH News) – A shocking and disturbing video that is now making its way across the internet has captured the attention of the Hanford Police Department.

The six minute video shows a karate instructor ordering a student to beat and possibly kill a mentally challenged man.

“It is such a disturbing video and whether it’s real or not that still needs to be confirmed,” said Hanford Police Chief Carlos Mestas.

Chief Mestas says his department is assisting in the investigation of a possible crime committed 25 years ago in the state of Virginia.

“This was a very disturbing beast type of beating,” said Mestas.

The footage was supposedly taken on December 13, 1984 at a karate dojo reportedly owned by Sgt. Bobby Joe Blythe who may now be living in Hanford.

“1984, that’s 25 years ago, so this guy, the owner of the Dojo was 38 or 39 years old. We think that he was possibly in the military at the time hence Quantico Virginia,” said Mestas.

Blythe has not been named a suspect. Attempts by KMPH News to speak with him at his home in Hanford have gone unanswered.

Mestas says he is working with local, state, federal and military investigators on the case. The video known on the internet as the “Jesus taught me” clip captures the fight between a black-belt karate student and a mentally challenged man.

Investigators say although Blythe is not seen personally hurting the victim in the video, he could still face legal troubles.

“He didn’t do anything about it and he had control of it since that was one of his students. You could almost say he was the one that directed it,” said Mestas.

The victim in this case can be heard saying he does not want to fight, just to demonstrate some skilled moves that “Jesus taught him”. Despite his plea, the beating continues.

“Having seen his head get stomped as many times as he did, I would be surprised that he survived it or did not have at least major brain damage,” said Mestas.

What’s more upsetting is no one present in the video tries to help the bloodied man. He is immediately dragged out the back door like it’s no big deal.

There is a huge thread/investigation on this on one of the MMA forums that went on for four years. It was looked into by concerned individuals, law enforcement and the press were called in. The gist of the story is the guy who got beaten was a petty thief/ homeless/ vagrant kind of guy who was at best just a MMA poser and at worst mentally ill. The Instructor heard him talking but instead of ignoring him tricked him into coming into the Dojo where he was made to Spar. He didnt want to fight and even after he was helpless he was beaten and dragged outside. He did not die. He was later seen by cops in the area. He pretty much dropped out of sight. The entire thing was appalling but there's no legal recourse.
