Chicago cops just slapped 4 suspects with multiple charges -- including hate crime -- for kidnapping and torturing the 18-year-old man in that horrific Facebook Live video. Jordan Hill, Tesfaye Cooper, Brittany Covington and Tanishia Covington were charged Thursday with aggravated kidnapping, hate crime, aggravated unlawful restraint and aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. Jordan was additionally charged with robbery and possession of a stolen vehicle. Three of the 4, including Jordan, were also charged with residential burglary. The victim had been missing since Sunday and was found disoriented Wednesday. Cops later identified him as the man in the social media clip in which the suspects shouted "F*** Donald Trump" and "F*** white people" during a 30 minute torture session that included the victim's scalp getting sliced.

Give me a link before mine that has the title that they had been charged with a hate crime. That was the purpose of this thread. I would like to read the thread

Here is the gofundme page for the victim https://www.gofundme.com/lets-show-the-chicago-victim-love

Thanks for posting that. I wanted to make sure there was a way to get financial support to this young man for whatever he may need to help him in the future, and to know that the support would reach him/his family. Here's another link verifying that a GoFundMe community manager has taken over the family coordination/verification process for these donations. https://www.reddit.com/r/UpliftingNews/comments/5m4uuw/call_to_arms_4_lets_show_the_chicago_victim_some/?st=ixktytdy&sh=69ef66eb

If stupidity were a crime, these people would be sentenced to death.

The ‘other crime’ here is the LACK of coverage by the alt-left media...they STILL haven’t learned their lesson.

It's funny. So many responses saying "feed them to sharks" "hang them" "nail them to a cross"... none of which, of course, is going to happen. A few cynical realists point out that jail isn't even that big a punishment for some of them, it is a vibrant part of their "community", it will be a homecoming.

What we talk about less, and is perhaps still a forbidden topic on Free Republic, is both why this is happening, the frequency with which it is happening, and what a solution might be.

Put bluntly America has a black crime problem that appears virtually intractable, and like a crazy uncle in the family, no one likes to talk about it. To do so is to ensure you will be called a 'racist', and perhaps even branded as such.

Any discussion of black crime needs to be realistic and take into account the 'white flight' of the 1960s, 70s, 80s and beyond. Essentially these were caused by rampant black crime, frequent violent street crime, endless property crime, and occasional full scale race riots.

The history of the development of the far flung American suburbs is the story of whites fleeing black crime and disfunction for places with "good schools".

Yet, even here, on Free Republic we are encouraged to pointlessly vent by coming up with the most gruesome punishment for this particular set of black hate criminals and discouraged from discussing the larger epidemic which it is surely part of.

By discouraged I mean forbidden to post from sites like American Renaissance that meticulously (and fairly) catalog black crime and black on white violence.

It is "racist" to discuss reality, so we simply don't.

And because we can't even discuss the problem, we certainly can't talk about practical solutions, something that goes beyond more midnight basketball, or reminding ourselves that "Democrats are the Real Racists", or supporting our favorite GOP candidate for office. Because if we here on FR can't discuss these unfortunate hate facts, it's a certainty that the politicians can not.

So, excuse me for interrupting the punishment-a-thon. It's tiresome and pointless.

I do applaud the trend of FR even allowing these sorts of comments or discussion, that's pretty different from 10 or 15 years ago, when even someone as renowned and gentle as the late Lawrence Auster was persona-non-grata on the site. Today many of his insights would be shared by many Freepers. So there is movement in a positive direction, but still I feel we are strangely constrained and simply re-enacting the same morality play over and over, without making progress in fixing anything.

If I'm still around in 2027 I expect Freepers of that era will still be sounding off about what wicked punishment the latest black gang of criminals deserve for the latest crime they have been caught red-handed doing, and a few more American cities will have completed their Journey to Darkness, as Detroit, Philly, Camden, St Louis and Cleveland have.

Love the sneer on the one in the upper right. Hope he maintains that look while his cellmates break him in.

The hate crime part will be revealed to be because the man is disabled, not because he’s White.

Just saw the faces of the subhumans. Obviously not candidates for admission into the human race. Their reptilian level of mental capacity, their lack of feeling for humans, their self-loathing are painted quite clearly on their faces. I wish them many weeks of pain before they finally can take it no more and become food for dung beetles.

Was the hate crime charge because he is white or a special needs person?

Reporters asked police. Response was basically...both...something like six of one half dozen of the other...

That kid was lucky. He survived the horror of this. Not like the white couple in Knoxville a few years ago. These animals should be dealt with severely and the hate crime charge should be because he’s white, not for being a special needs kid if that’s the case.

I’ve often wondered what characteristics and attributes people would use to describe what a “nigger” is. I know that the offense and hurt caused by using the nigger word is worse than anything imaginable these days. But, really, what does it mean? I’m going to say that these offenders are, in my opinion, niggers. The actions and behavior they exhibited warrant a description no less than what they would find most offensive. So F you niggers (these 4 individuals)!

The fact that this story has posted many multiple times with various titles since early this morning should be enough

Faces of evil.

And yet this White House refuses to call it a hate crime...

Are any of those crimes punishable by impaling on a stake?
