A torture scene captured on video and broadcast on Facebook Live has resulted in grave criminal charges—including a hate crime—for four people in Chicago alleged to have victimized a man in the extreme while denigrating him for being white.The video shows an unnamed man—an 18-year-old with "special needs," according to CNN—bound, gagged, and cowering as his black assailants repeatedly beat and insult him, cut apart his clothes, and slash his scalp with a razor. In the video, they can be heard shouting "fuck white people," "fuck Donald Trump," and forcing their victim to say, "I love black people," while crawling on his hands and knees.
