Chicago (AFP) – Chicago prosecutors filed hate crime and other felony charges Thursday against four people suspected of holding a special needs man captive and assaulting him in a racially charged attack broadcast live on Facebook.
Video of it shows a terrified young white man crouching in the corner of a room as four black attackers taunt and beat him, at times yelling “Fuck Donald Trump” and “Fuck white people.”
The video was posted live on Facebook by one of the alleged perpetrators, and has since spread on the internet.
Police identified the four suspects on Thursday – three of whom were 18 years old and the fourth 25 — as Jordan Hill, Tesfaye Cooper, Brittany Covington and Tanishia Covington.
All four face multiple felony charges, including for kidnapping, battery and hate crimes.
Police did not reveal the identity of the victim.
In the video, the victim appeared to be tied up and had duct tape over his mouth. The two female and two male attackers are seen cutting off parts of the victim’s clothes, hitting him, and cutting some of his hair to the scalp, causing bleeding.
The victim, who was found by police walking near the scene of the attack, was recovering after being released from a hospital, authorities said, describing him as traumatized by the ordeal.
Police said the victim had likely been with the group of attackers for at least 24 hours and as many as 48 hours, and knew one of them from school.

I hope they meet their ugly ends in prison. I hope they get the crap knocked out of them on a regular basis.
An Obama “Beer Summit” just won’t work here.
The hate crime charge will actually turn out to be because the man is disabled, not because he’s White.
The ‘Hate Crime’ statutes are all ridiculous anyhow.
They should be charged, indicted, tried, convicted of Felonious Crimes Against Humanity and then sentenced to eternity in the ‘projects’ of Chi-Town...
They will get probation when they promise to turn their lives around and get that college degree they had always intended to get.
Yeah. But kidnapping charges are heavy duty!
