***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.

My opinion also. It was in the category of a miracle that they did that much. Watch for the sky to fall.

After Trump takes office in a few weeks, he can order an federal investigation into the violation of this man’s civil rights by these savages.

Individuals with a disability are a protected class.

I hope each one of them winds up in a Jail pod with only Aryan Brotherhood racists to keep them company.

“Police don’t “rule” anything.”

The Cops/prosecutor rule on the charges.

What are the odds on them receiving a presidential pardon?

Apparently the Chicago police are also mentally challenged, since at first, they could not determine that this was a hate crime. DUH!!

Click the link. Hate crimes are federal. Where are the feds? If this is truly a hate crime case, where is the FBI.
I am not falling for this Chicago PD bull@$@ charges. I bet these 4 walk.

Good......now a precedent has been set. The rest of us can start to turn the tide against these mentally ill thugs that have been allowed to run the conversation in this country for way too long.

I’ve read several articles with headlines calling the victim a “Trump supporter.” Is it because he is white? What is the evidence?

All the folks here who think this is a hate crime because it is black on white crime - think again.

They’re being charged with a hate crime because the victim had mental disabilities.

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

And thank God for it.
