A woman who live-streamed herself and a trio of friends abusing a mentally disabled man and taunting him with racial insults was sentenced to probation Friday after spending nearly a year behind bars.
Brittany Covington, 19, had been held at the Cook County Jail without bond since January, when she and co-defendants Tesfaye Cooper, Jordan Hill and her 24-year-old sister Tanishia Covington were arrested on kidnapping and hate-crime charges.
The plea deal prosecutors made with Brittany Covington makes her the first of the four to be released, though she will remain on probation for four years and is barred from contact with Cooper and Hill.
Brittany Covington narrated Facebook Live video of the others tormenting the 18-year-old white man in the West Side apartment she shared with her sister.
The victim, a Crystal Lake man who had been classmates with Hill at a west suburban alternative high school, appears terror-stricken as he was taunted with racially-tinged insults — including calling him a supporter of then-President-elect Donald Trump. Hill and Cooper allegedly cut his clothing with a knife, punched and kicked him. In one Facebook video, the man was forced to drink water from a toilet bowl.

The whole point of a “hate crime” is ridiculous.
Feral scum.
That would have made sense.
1 year time served plus 4 probation for vandalism and bacon in a mosque would be mostly appropriate.
and 15 years plus 15 probation for the black girl torturing the disabled white guy, that would be appropriate.
the whole point of hate crime laws is to make a black people more mad at white people and vote democrat.
Which one is Jordon?
The one who actually MADE it to 'high school'??
Option E.
Saw this crap in California years ago. Then these little shites end up hurting people on the inside and the social workers do their magic reports and theuy’re housed back in the world with all sorts of welfare and flowers. It was sickening/disturbing then and have no words but “evil” now.
“There was no other purpose for it.”
How could you be wrong on that? “Hate” crime is THOUGHT crime! What counts is not the actual deed but the motivation behind it. If they could punish white people for thinking negative thoughts ALONE then white people would be going to prison without actually DOING anything. They can’t YET get away with sending us to jail for thinking without doing. They do however go so far as to TELL US WHAT WE ARE THINKING and even twisting what we say to pretend that our words are in sync with what they claim we are thinking.
Exactly. That’s the one.
You are spot on.
