Four Chicago teens in custody after livestreaming kidnap and torture of disabled person

[quote]Four people are in custody after a disturbing live-streamed video of a duct-taped man allegedly being tortured on Chicago’s West Side.
In the video, the victim’s clothes were cut, he was peppered with cigarette ashes, and then his hair cut with a knife until his scalp bled.
Several people can be seen laughing and eating as the attack is going on.
The incident took place Tuesday in an apartment on the 3400 block of West Lexington on Chicago’s West Side, a police spokesperson said.
The victim, who has special needs, was a high-risk missing person from northwest suburban Crystal Lake.
Police say he traveled to Carol Stream to meet a friend. They ended up in a stolen car, driven to the West Side, where the attack took place.
Four people are now in custody, police said.[/quote]

Another video surfaced that appears to reveal a political and racial motivation:

This is the same guy being forced to drink toilet water he's beat by the same black people. He's also forced to say "Fuck Trump".[/QUOTE]
[quote]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.
Video from Chicago media outlets appears to show someone off-camera using profanities about "white people" and President-elect Donald Trump. Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson said Wednesday that the victim has mental health challenges, and he called the video "sickening."
Guglielmi said police are working with prosecutors "to build the strongest case."[/quote]

Stories like this honestly are utterly terrifying to us Trump Supporters.
Shows the utter disgusting nature of what polarization and refusal to communicate as civilized adults can do.
People like this are enemies to democracy and should be locked up a long time.
Comments are just as bad and edgy as hell.
lock them up and throw away the key

imagine how scary it must be to be a non-trump-supporter
you're missing the point if you think they did this because of politics
People ask me why I support the death penalty.
This. This shit right here.

It won't, It only ever gets counted as a hate crime when white people do it

From one of the arrested, there was a second video.
Warning Disturbing.

Kinda sad that a random person can be punished for the election results of someone they may not even been involved in. I really hope these people can come to terms with reality over the course of their incarceration.
[QUOTE=Judas;51624049]imagine how scary it must be to be a non-trump-supporter[/QUOTE]
It's scary on both sides.
Though I have noticed a lot of the non-trump cases to turn out to be hoaxes at the moment.
They're so casual about it. Fucking scary.

they did this because they're violent people that take pleasure in harming others, like many others throughout the world that use religion and politics as their excuse
if not for the election it would have been something else they branded it with
Are we sure this isn't every day footage of Detroit?

Ofcourse, it takes a shitty person to do a shitty thing.
[quote]you're missing the point if you think they did this because of politics[/quote]
But are you really going to say that politics and Trump hate had nothing to do with it?

yes, unless you think they had any rational way of deciding that this disabled man was a trump supporter
This was clearly politically/racially motivated. There's no ifs/ands or buts about it.
These people need to be imprisoned and then sent to an institution.
[QUOTE=bitches;51624126]yes, unless you think they had any rational way of deciding that this disabled man was a trump supporter[/QUOTE]
How convenient to you that this isn't a Trump hate crime unless we confirmed the disabled person is a Trump Supporter.
I don't think the people cutting him cared to ask that though.
Looks like electing a racist, bigoted, xenophobic demagogue didn't sit too well with minorities. Who would have thought? Not that these clowns are justified in any way, shape, or form. This guy probably didn't even vote for Trump.

how is it hard to tell the difference between 'politically motivated actions' and 'literal west side gang fuckwits making a 'fuck trump' joke to their facebook friends while being piece of shit human beings to a random white dude'

Reminds me of when the guys beat the shit out of and killed [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Vincent_Chin]Vincent Chin[/url] for being Japanese when he was actually of Chinese descent (and got away with it).
honestly it's kind of gross how many attacks there are against trump supporters that are handwaved as "well they're just kinda fucked up people anyway, this has [I]nothing[/I] to do with politics" while the video is captioned as such and everyone involved is screaming as such
like yeah it takes a messed up person to do messed up things, and yeah they probably would have done it in another situation, but does that really take away any of the impact of their politically motivated hate?
i don't browse SH enough to know for sure, but i'm fairly sure those dozens of fake "trump supporters attack minority/gay/women" news stories weren't even entertained with this notion of "they're just fucked up people it's nothing politically motivated."
[QUOTE=bitches;51624140]how convenient that you're ignoring the fact that baseless assumptions as motive for violence are not real motives[/QUOTE]
"Motive for violence." sounds like the bigger baseless assumption here
So just a couple of Droogs out for some ultra-violence lovely chap?
I'm sorry, but this is utter delusional justifying and something that is never applied on the flipside when Trump Supporters are the ones on the attack.

this is a disgusting way to look at the video, even if you follow it up by saying that it's not justified. if you're watching this video, and this is the take away you get from it, for shame.

can you propose any means by which these criminals determined that the disabled man was a trump supporter?
if not, then there is no reason to believe that they honestly believed their excuse and as such it is not the real motive

trying to change the subject to one of supposed hypocrisy is evading the argument
