Update: Chicago police say race was not a motive behind attack shown on Facebook Live
FROM WIRE REPORTS 20 min ago (23)
Update at 7:45 a.m.
Chicago police say they don't believe a man beaten in an assault broadcast live on Facebook was targeted because he was white.
Police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said Thursday morning that charges are expected soon against four black suspects. Guglielmi says the suspects made "terrible racist statements" during the attack, but that investigators believe the victim was targeted because he has special needs, not because of his race.
Guglielmi says it's possible the suspects were trying to extort something from the victim's family.

NOT A HATE CRIME.
"Although they are adults, they're 18. Kids make stupid decisions -- I shouldn't call them kids; they're legally adults, but they're young adults, and they make stupid decisions," Duffin said."
So in other words, Obama's kids 'Acted Stupidly' and nothing more.
Nothing to see here move along.....
Good! I now feel better about all this. /s
So they just as easily could have kidnapped and tortured a special needs black kid?
What an outrage!
Our “Just-Us” system is a joke. God will have the last say on the fools from the DA down to the donut eating cops claiming “no hate crime”.
As hard as it is in this case, you have to keep in mind who the real victims are. /fake
Agree,
Would not want anybody getting Hurt.
As long as they’re convicted of kidnapping, assault on an at-risk youth, public exploitation, and incitement to commit violence, I’m fine as long as the sentence is appropriate.
Pretty soon Muslims will be allowed to behead us in the street and get away with it.
The leader of the thugs Barky needs to speak up but I know he is busy acquiring new medals. Puke.
No mention of the political angle either, even though the kid was apparently initially targeted for wearing something showing support for Trump, was tortured for supporting Trump, and was forced to say things that were anti-Trump. Just “bad decisions”, not part of any larger pattern of anti-Trump violence.
This is what things are like on “Democrat”: thugs excused for their behavior because they are the “correct” color/political persuasion/group.
...So they just as easily could have kidnapped and tortured a special needs black kid?...
They surely would have accused him of being an Obama supporter as they savagely attacked him. Trying out for ISIS?
The system is corrupt. Time to bring it down. Resistance at all levels is called for.
ASTONISHING clarity.
These investigators are morons who have to make pretzel twists out of the facts to back up their assertion.
Oh, yeah I can see the victim getting justice for this hate crime against him. sarc..

Is that a woman?? S/he needs a shave.
I have never liked hate crime legislation I have always felt that it does not mater what the motivation of a crime was but anyone viewing this can tell that if he had been more like those who were torturing him he would of been treated differently. the way the cops are handling this shows why hate crime laws should not exist. that reason is people are not being treated the same under the law.
Pure Blacklash, Blackwash.
It’s well past time for the general public to demand an end to this kind of crap.
The double standard is absolutely sickening.
