Four people charged with hate crimes in the beating and torture of a special-needs man on Chicago's West Side will appear in bond court today. Two men and two women are accused of broadcasting a live Facebook video of the assault. The footage shows the attackers cutting the 18-year-old victim's scalp with a knife, beating him and forcing his head into a toilet.
They can be heard shouting obscenities about Donald Trump and "white people." The suspects also face charges of kidnapping and aggravated battery with a deadly weapon.
