FOX 32 NEWS - Chicago investigators are questioning four African-Americans after a Facebook Live video shows a group of people torturing a white mentally disabled man while someone yelled "F*** Trump!" and "F*** white people!"

Chicago police were made aware of the video Tuesday afternoon. A young African American woman streamed the video live on Facebook showing at least four people holding the young white man hostage.

"The video is reprehensible," said police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi.

"It's sickening. You know it makes you wonder what would make individuals treat somebody like that," Police Supt. Eddie Johnson added.

We have only 15 days and counting of Obozo. They can’t get to court that fast. It will be under Trump.

Cannot be a hate crime - the perps are not white.

The media is responsible for this campaign of hate. This one is worse and more unhinged than the one launched against W Bush. It’s very much like the ‘2 minutes of hate’ in Orwell’s “1984” only now it’s 24/7.

First off, the head of the Cook County Chief of Police should be fired for obstruction of justice in not calling the acts a hate crime and asking for the Cook County DA’s office to bring HATE CRIMES charges against these 4.

Secondly, public videos of the arrest, arraignment, trial, conviction and sentencing for these four should be taken and Facebook should be ordered to post it on the SAME account the original streamed videos were posted.

The court needs to make an example of these people. There will be copycats; Stupid people will do anything online for fame. The only way to maybe keep it to a minimum is if these people are slammed hard, something like 10 years in prison.

They’re not going to get any time and I doubt that they will even be charged. The police are already saying “they’re young people, and sometimes young people do stupid things.”

I kid you not. I couldn’t believe it when I read these words out of a police dept. spokesman, but there you are.

A mentally disabled person who has had to trust in people to survive can be easily manipulated by those willing to use his trust as a weapon against him.

I can see exactly how they would do it. “Hi...how are you? You hungry? Why don’t you come with us and have some lunch, friend?”

I can visualize that.

Sad, overwhelmingly sad. These people should be hanged.

The "people" who did these things do not consider them crimes, and they do not consider themselves criminals. They think they are foot soldiers in Baraq Obama's Race War.

Obama is just like Charles Manson, although Obama seems to have gotten more people killed and injured in his race war.

I read the story. The police don’t think it was politically motivated.

I always like to switch the roles as a litmus test, and when you do it in this case, the absurdity of the double standard is appalling.

Four white people kidnap a mentally handicapped black man, tie him up, cover his mouth with duct tape, cut his scalp, force him to drink toilet water, beat him, all while chanting “F**k Obama!”, after which a white chief of police says it was not politically or racially motivated, just young people trying to get attention.

How appalling does that sound???? If the roles were reversed, this would be the major story of the entire year, and the year is only a few days old. We would see it on the evening news, night after night, for the next five years.
