Four people have been arrested in Chicago after they live streamed themselves torturing a white Donald Trump supporter.
The disturbing video, posted below, shows a disabled man bound and gagged in a corner as he is tortured by four Black Lives Matter activists. The four thugs used a knife to cut the victimâs clothes off. During the video, the victim is slapped in the head multiple times while bleeding from his scalp.
The video was posted to Facebook on Tuesday by Brittany Herring. While Brittany was filming, three other people beat the disabled Trump supporter, shouting âFuck Donald Trump, fuck white people.â
The disabled man in the video has been identified and is in the hospital being treated for his injuries. The suspects are in custody.
