4 in custody after mentally disabled man tied up, tortured on Facebook Live
Quote: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.
Throughout the video, the victim is repeatedly kicked and hit, his scalp is cut, all while he is tied up with his mouth taped shut.
At one point, the victim is held at knife point and told to curse President-elect Donald Trump. The group also forces the victim to drink water from a toilet.
The reddit thread I found it on (yes LP, I found it on reddit, hope that's not a problem):

There are links to the video in question out there but I won't post them directly here as I'll probably get told off.
Wondering if anyone has seen this story and what they think about it. Has anyone seen it on TV or is it not being treated as a major news story over there?
Would we all agree this is a close and shut "hate crime" that these utter cunts should be locked up for?
Oh gosh. Awful.
To answer your question Nap, this is the first I'm hearing of this. I haven't watched the news yet, but so far there's been nothing at all on my facebook feed or on my trending feed about this. Which is where I usually first find out about big things happening.
Something tells me if this was 4 white men from small town Texas torturing a black disabled man while saying "F*ck black people" and "Go Trump", it would be much bigger news and there would be 0 question that this was a hate crime and a race issue.
...But, ya know. Double standards and all that.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
