Would it have been different if the races were any other combination?
Trying to politicize this handicapped man's misfortune?

The four defendants were black, and the victim was white.
Would it have been different if the races were any other combination? Why the need to italicize that as if it's one of the most important parts of the story? Trying to politicize this handicapped man's misfortune?
This is ridiculous though, the justice system is a joke.

despite being found guilty of hate crimes and kidnapping. Insane, right? How could such a travesty of justice occur in any modern society?

The family and friends of fallen cyclist Bobby Cann were outraged late last month when Cook County circuit court judge William H. Hooks sentenced motorist Ryne San Hamel, who killed Cann while speeding and drunk, to just ten days in jail.
It was shocking that Hooks chose to give San Hamel this minimal sentence (plus four years of probation and $25,000 in restitution to cover Cann's funeral expenses). After all, the minimum sentence in Illinois for aggravated DUI causing death is three to 14 years in prison, except for in cases where the court finds "extraordinary circumstances." Moreover, San Hamel, now 32, had on two different occasions previously been arrested for alcohol-related offences while behind the wheel.

There's a video?
No, wait, I don't want to see it. I'm still not over the guy being shot in the motel.
Yeah, so - wrong is right and right is wrong these days.
Sucks doesn't it.

The first guy has a face you'd love to punch. And this has been ATS before, but still the decision is mindboggling.
However the source is RT, and i'd trust a mustache twisting villain who would tie my granny to a railroad rather then trust RT, and every link I clicked on comes back to RT.
Nice try Russia-please don't hack me.
The victim, a Crystal Lake man who had been classmates with Hill at a west suburban alternative high school, appears terror-stricken as he was taunted with racially-tinged insults — including calling him a supporter of then-President-elect Donald Trump. Hill and Cooper allegedly cut his clothing with a knife, punched and kicked him. In other video, the man was forced to drink water from a toilet bowl.

This is a severe miscarriage of justice and sending a terrible signal to other hateful people out there (thankfully the vast minority of people).
Bad news for the victim and his family.
