Chicago video brutality
The online community seem to have been hit by a fast moving viral video of four African-Americans who went against the back drop of commonsense in torturing their victims while deriving pleasure from his pains and anguish. The video which was released on Facebook showed four Africa-American featuring two males and two females as they brutally descended on their white victims whom had "special needs".
The victim who was beaten and taunted, threatened with a knife and forced to drink from a toilet, was also promised death by her attackers as they pierced deeply a sharp object into his hair until it gushes out blood. From the video, her attackers was heard voicing several racial languages as they threw jabs at the 45th president elect of the United States Donald Trump saying the "F" word to him.
Police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said investigators initially concluded that the 18-year-old man was singled out because he has "special needs", not because he was white. But a later charges resulted from both the suspects' use of racial slurs and their references to the victim's disability. According to police investigation, the incident began on December 31, when the victim and one of the suspects, 18-year-old Jordan Hill, met at a suburban McDonald's to begin what both the victim and his parents believed would be a sleepover.
The parent later discovered their son wasn't coming home hence they declared him missing as was the case since he hadn't reported home. The man's parents reported their son missing on Monday and told authorities they later received text messages from people who claimed to be holding him captive.
It really wasn't clear the motive behind this dastardly act, but according to the Chicago police, the suspects wanted to extort money from the victims parents whom they felt would fall for the bait.
Chicago Cook County prosecutors identified the suspects as Brittany Covington and Tesfaye Cooper, both of Chicago, and Hill, of suburban Carpentersville. All are 18. A fourth suspect was identified as Covington's 24-year-old sister, Tanishia Covington, also of Chicago.
The victim is a suburban Chicago resident described by Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson as having "mental health challenges" "There was never a question whether or not this incident qualified as being investigated as a hate crime," Johnson said. But "we need to base the investigation on facts and not emotion."
In addition to hate crimes, the four were charged with kidnapping, aggravated battery and aggravated unlawful restraint. Three were also charged with burglary.
They were to appear in court on Friday.
Illinois law makes hate crimes "class 4 felonies," which generally call for a sentence of one to three years.
In a swift response to the attacks, president Barrack Obama have out-rightly condemn this reprisal attacks calling it distasteful and irresponsible. In Washington, White House press secretary Josh Earnest said the beating demonstrated "a level of depravity that is an outrage to a lot of Americans".
