795 PEOPLE WERE “SHOT & KILLED” IN CHICAGO IN 2016

…One of the four that bound & attacked a mentally diminished young white man.

 

The four attackers posted a “sickening video” on Facebook.

 

The new president-elect has brought the idea of Social Media to a head with his constant use of Twitter and his teams use of Facebook and Instagram.  But this really came full circle when four very stupid young blacks from one of the “hoods” in Chicago posted a “sickening attack video” on Facebook.

 

The latest chapter of this posting is that all four of these young individuals, 2 women (sisters) and two men have been charged with a long list of charges including “hate crimes”.  Three of them are only 18 years old, and one of the sisters is 24.

 

The video footage quickly went viral online. In the shaky video, a terrified young white man who was found to have diminished mental capacity, was wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt and is seen crouching in a corner.  His wrists and neck were bound with orange bands, his mouth taped shut. Authorities have said the assault went on for up to five hours and the Chicago police found the victim, an unidentified 18-year-old from Crystal Lake, Chicago, wandering the streets “in distress”.

 

The story is that the young man had gone to school with some of the attackers and he initially went along willingly with the four blacks.  The police have said the four had stolen a van and took the young man with them to the apartment where he was attacked.

 

One of the young women filmed the attack as the two young men slashed the sleeves of his shirt with knives and then took turns punching him, slapping him and stomping on his head. At one point, one man can be seen cutting the victim’s hair and scalp with a knife, and the victim is later shown bleeding from his injuries.

 

While the victim can be seen cowering with his back to the wall, another voice can be heard repeatedly shouting, “F‑‑‑ Donald Trump” and “F‑‑‑ white people.” Yes all four attackers are black, while the victim is white.

 

Now this was no short one or two minute Facebook video.  The video ran a full 28 minutes.  In the video the group laughs, jokes and listens to music as the victim sits motionless on the floor. About halfway through, someone says the man “represents Donald Trump,” and they threaten to put him in the trunk of a car and “put a brick on the gas.”

 

It is not clear how long this would have continued uninterrupted had a downstairs neighbor not complained about the noise. After this neighbor told the group to curtail the noise or she would contact police, some of them went downstairs and “started kicking her door in”.  Police officers were called for the report of damaged property, which enabled the 18-year-old to escape the apartment.

 

“We have the statements of the four of them,” said Chicago Detectives Commander, Kevin Duffin at the afternoon briefing. “They admit that they were beating him, kicking him, they made him drink toilet water.”

 

Commander Duffin said that hate crime charges were warranted because of the victim’s, “diminished mental capacity, and the fact that they tied him up, and the obvious racial quotes that they post live on Facebook.”

 

The incident comes as violence in Chicago has reached levels unseen for decades, with the homicide rate hitting a 20-year high last year.

 

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel (D) has talked to the president-elect for seeking federal help to address the 713 homicides and almost 4,000 gunshot victims last year.

 

But this is not the first time in recent months that people in Chicago have been captured on video attacking someone while invoking the president-elect’s name. In November, the day after the presidential election, a group of people were recorded beating a 49-year-old man while shouting, “You voted Trump” and “Don’t vote Trump”.

 

Chicago is appearing to be at the pinnacle of the “hate Crimes” and of the killings going on in our nation.
