"One day after a chilling live Facebook video made headlines, four suspects appeared in a packed Cook County courtroom Friday to face hate crime charges alleging they beat and tortured a mentally disabled teen in an attack that once again put the city's ugly violence problem on display.

Dressed in street clothes, the four entered bond court amid heavy security, Cooper smirking as he walked to stand before the judge. As Assistant State's Attorney Erin Antionetti detailed the charges, a friend of the victim's family seated in the courtroom gallery nodded her head and wiped tears from her eyes.

A short time later, Judge Maria Kuriakos Ciesil ordered the four held without bail, citing the egregiousness of the allegations."

I hadn't heard about this part until late this evening. So basically they beat this guy and demanded ransom from his mother during the event.

"For the first time, authorities alleged that Hill, who knew the 18-year-old victim from attending the same alternative school in Aurora, first beat the victim in the back of a van after he became angry that the teen's mother was contacting him by Facebook about her son's whereabouts. Prosecutors said Hill demanded $300 from the victim's mother if she wanted her son back."

1. Yes, they need to be put under the jail. n/t

2. I agree but seems funny this incident has been playing 24/7 on the tube

but where was the outrage when Trump people have beaten up people they disagree with?

5. There was a lot of simple fighting during the 2016 election but nobody on either side kidnapped

a political foe, beat them while yelling racially charged hate at them, cut a chunk of their scalp off and held them for ransom.

13. And made 30 minute video

I watched a few minutes of that video and it was like a Quentin Tarantino movie.

6. Lynched?

Are you calling for them to be Lynched? They deserve to serve everyone single year that they are sentenced to, but let's not return to the days when black people were killed for crimes that did not carry death as a punishment.

Can't believe I'm seeing such shit on DU.

7. Who said anything about lynching?

Stop trying to make this about race, these evil bastards deserve to rot in jail for what they did to this mentally challenged man.

[SaschaHM]

10. Stop ignoring racist shit.

What do you think putting someone under a jail means? I'm sick of this blind eye to racism on DU. The Poster called for a lynching. Take your "stop making this about race" shit to Free Republic.

12. You're F'n delusional, putting someone "under the jail" is a very common statement

when you're talking about someone who did something soooo awful that they don't deserve a bed inside, it has ZERO racial meaning whatsoever. I'm purposely not bringing up the fact that this has already been deemed a racial hate crime.

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=under%20the%20jail

"Life imprisonment, either in response to an egregious criminal act or outlandishly antisocial behavior."

15. Didn't mention lynching,

didn't mention anything about race. Quite good at putting words in my mouth, aren't they?

[hexola]

8. under...?

in?

[SaschaHM]

11. Nope, under.

Welcome to what black dems see on DU every so often.

17. I reread my post 5 times.

Still fail to see where I mentioned race.

19. Hiding behind implication often allows the convenience

Hiding behind implication often allows the convenience of failing to see many things.

20. Putting words in someone else's mouth

also allows visions of things not there.

16. "Under".

They have committed acts so heinous they don't get to associate with the "normal" prison population, upstairs. Don't see why this is so hard to get...

And race has no bearing. If races were reversed, would call for same thing. Sheesh.

3. $300

They bumped kidnapping up to the more serious aggravated kidnapping for $300

Kidnapping: State Prison Term from 3-7 Years, Aggravated Kidnapping 6-30 Years Prison plus an additional 15-25 Years depending on gravity of the crime

4. Great

Hopefully they never see daylight again.
