Just a few days ago an 18 year old disabled man was picked up in a suburban neighborhood in Chicago. The man was then taken to the 3400 block of West Lexington on the West Side where he was beat.. There he video taped using live feature from Facebook. In the video you see them beat the man, flip ashes on him, and then make an attempt to scalp him. The live video was broadcasted from the Facebook page of a female named Brittany Herring. In the video the 4 teens can be heard saying "F--k Donald Trump" and "F--k white people". The parents of the 18 year old reported him missing to CPD. The parents then received multiple texts from their sons phone stating that he was being held captive. The man was held captive from anywhere to 24-48 hours until he was released. Chicago PD later arrested the four teens.

This occurrence has sparked up the media on Facebook and many other sites. I myself have read many hateful and racist comments towards the four teens. As of right now their current charges are unknown, but many on social media are pressing for imprisonment.

Personally I think this was a very cruel and wrong thing done. The teens acted without thinking for a long period of time.
