Didja see this shit?
A Chicago woman who live-streamed video of the racially charged beating of a teen with mental disabilities pleaded guilty Friday to a hate crime and was sentenced to four years of probation.
Probation? Are you feakin’ kidding me? Did you see any of the video? They tortured a mentally disabled white kid and this bitch put it on Farcebook and all she gets is four years probation? Let’s reverse the races shall we? If four white people had done this to a disabled black kid the Africans would be rioting in the streets, especially if the one who filmed it got off with four years probation.
Brittany Covington, 19, has been in custody since her arrest in January.
Calling the incident “horrific,” Cook County Circuit Judge William Hooks banned Covington from social media over the four years, prohibited her from contact with two of her co-defendants and ordered her to do 200 hours of community service.
Obviously not “horrific” enough to punish her for doing what she did. Let’s see how that prohibition of her from contact with two of her co-defendants works out. WTF is wrong with this judge?
Hooks told Covington he could have imposed a prison sentence but added, “I’m not sure if I did that you’d be coming out any better.”
Hooks said he hoped the strict terms of probation would put Covington on a more productive life path, but he warned she would face prison time if she violated any of the restrictions.
Going to prison in 3…2…1…
“Do not mess this up,” Hooks told Covington, who stood quietly in a blue jail uniform with her hands clasped behind her back.
You can bet your bottom dollar she will. Then another lenient liberal judge will once again let her off with a slap on the wrist.
The 19-year-old also pleaded guilty to aggravated battery and intimidation charges. As part of a plea deal, prosecutors dropped additional charges, including kidnapping.
The video, which sparked national outrage, focuses often on Covington’s face. She smokes what appears to be a blunt — a cigar stuffed with marijuana — while narrating some of the action.
Three others were charged in the incident: alleged ringleader Jordan Hill, 19, as well as Tesfaye Cooper, 19, and Covington’s sister, Tanishia, 25. Their cases are still pending.
The video, posted in January, shows the four — who are all African-American — cutting the 18-year-old white victim’s scalp with a knife, punching and kicking him and laughing as he was bound and gagged in an apartment on Chicago’s West Side.
The gruesome video drew condemnation from many, including then-President Barack Obama. Right-wing pundits used it as a rallying cry, tying it without evidence to the Black Lives Matter movement and blaming permissive policing.
And now we can add permissive judging to the list. WTF is wrong with the judges in Chicago? I keep reading on Second City Cop about dudes with numerous felony convictions out on the street without even serving half of their sentences. Usually, it’s in conjunction with a murder case.
Now, I’m waiting to see if the courts are lenient with the other three animals involved in this case.
Disgusting!
