Horrific hit-and-run crash that flung three men into the air and killed them was 'sparked by argument at Chicago gay bar' - but cops say it's too early to call it a hate crime

Chicago police said on Monday they believe a hit-and-run which killed three men was an intentional attack on the crowd outside a gay bar - but that it is too early to judge whether it was a hate crime.

The three young black men - Donald Huey, 25; Jaylen Ausley, 23; and Devonta Vivetter, 27 - were hurled into the air when a sedan smashed into them at high speed in the early hours of Sunday, outside a well-known gay bar in the South Side.

A fourth man was left injured in the crash, which happened as a large group was standing in the road, seemingly arguing.

Brendan Deenihan, chief of detectives, said on Monday the crash is not thought to be an accident, but it wasn't yet concluded that it was related to their race or sexuality.

'It appears to be intentional,' said Deenihan.

'We don't have any evidence to support that somebody was trying to harm these individuals based because of their race, religion, etc.

'That can change once we get more witnesses and a suspect in.'

Deenihan said the car was recovered four blocks from the scene, but the driver remains on the run.

'You can't charge a car with a crime, obviously,' he said, appealing for the public's help.

'We need to know who the driver was.

Fighting in the middle of the street. The video would have been much funnier set to Benny Hill music.

“you can’t charge a car with a crime, he said” is the money quote here...

these people need to get their heads out of their asses and apply the same logic to guns...

No doubt. The cops probably found nooses, a gallon bottle of bleach, and half eaten subway sandwiches. Did I miss anything? πŸ€­πŸ˜†πŸ§

“You can’t charge a car with a crime, obviously...”

_______’__

Dude’s “obviously” behind the times.

If the driver was of the same “persuasion” as those who frequent this establishment, then yes, we will, at least in effect, blame the car.

Did it involve “Man’s Country” / “Boystown”

At least three sodomites dead who were involved in relationships with Obama in November/December 2007.

AND numerous RICO “High Crimes”, felonies, multiple instances of bribery, laundering, massive prolonged coverup, dozens of high profile politicians judges involve including Beau Biden, etc...
