[VIDEO] Commentary on the Chicago Kidnapping w/ Written Report
"F*** Donald Trump. F*** white people."
Above are the words of an African American assailant to a disabled white man who was kidnapped January 4 and beat up on Facebook Live Video by four 18-year-old African Americans.
The live video captures a majority of the cruel and humiliating events that the white man was subjected to, including being tied up, beaten, scalped with a knife, and having expletives thrown at him about hating white people and President-elect Donald Trump.
The four African-American teens who allegedly committed the crime – including Brittany Herring who recorded the video to her personal Facebook along with another woman and two men – have been arrested and are currently in Chicago PD custody while the victim gets medical attention.
In the press conference below, police say they are still investigating the incident and "at this point CPD believes the video is credible and detectives are questioning persons of interest in the case." According to CPD, they believe that the victim "initially went voluntarily with one of the suspects he knew. I don't know how the other three got involved."

Police encountered the disabled man wandering down the street in West Chicago and took him to a hospital. Officers and nurses spent most of the night calming him down from the trauma in order to get an account of what happened.
It is believed the man was coaxed by someone he thought was a friend to go somewhere and eventually ended up at one of the four assailants homes.
Hours after finding the man, police were called to a home for a domestic incident where they found evidence of a struggle and property damage. After hearing the man's story and discovering the Facebook Live recording, they linked the two incidents.
Police say the case may be treated as a hate crime based on language in the video, which they say is either sincere or "just stupid ranting and raving."
