BREAKING: Hate crime, battery charges filed against four black suspects accused in beating of white man streamed live on Facebook.— The Associated Press (@AP) January 5, 2017

***Original Post***

Chicago police have determined that the kidnapping and torture of a Donald Trump supporter, which was aired on Facebook live, falls under the category of a hate crime. Four African-American teenagers were arrested after the shocking footage surfaced. In the video, the suspects are seen beating and gagging the suspect, while shouting expletives at him.

A Fox News analyst noted on Thursday that the teens could face up to 30 years in prison.

Their victim had special needs and was a high-risk missing person.

They never would have been charged if it were not for all the social media attention to this incident.

In most articles, the 18-year old savages are called “teens” while the special needs victim, also 18, is referred to as a “man.”

No double standards here!

Police don’t “rule” anything.

They may recommend charges and investigate as such.

I bet the second video influenced the hate crime charge.

Well, they’re his sons, so he’ll need to keep silent about it.

I’d wager you won’t hear him mention it at all.

Take a moment and review these comments in response. EVERYONE of these people who responded should also be brougt up on hate crime charges IMHO. Talk about a swamp that needs draining.

Kidnapping with bodily harm and torture.

They’ll be back on the street in a couple of weeks after performing community service.

CNN twisted themselves into knots this morning, obfuscating, hiding facts, saying it wasn’t a hate crime and trying to blame Trump. Now it will go down the memory chute since it doesn’t fit their narrative.

Can’t they also be charged with kidnapping? I know that’s a federal crime, so I hope the DOJ will add that sometime after January 20. But aren’t there also state laws relating to kidnapping?

But first, they'll be invited to the Obama going away party or a beer summit where the Obamas will make whites drink from the toilet.
