The Anti-Trump rioters have caused chaos since the election when Donald Trump soundly defeated Hillary Clinton. Instead of the Clinton supporters taking their loss with dignity and class, the group decided to take their temper tantrum out on innocent people. One of the victims was a man named David Wilcox, 49, who was dragged from his car by a gang of thugs, beaten, and who then proceeded to steal his car. Now the thugs that thought they had the last laugh just received an epic dose of karma.
Wilcox was driving his car in Chicago when he was ambushed by a gang of four. At the time they were unidentified but now they have been found and all four of them have been arrested and charged with vehicular hijacking.
The suspects, 26-year-old Julian Christian, 21-year-old Rajane Lewis, 20-year-old Dejuan Collins and a 17-year-old girl who has not been identified to the public do to her age. The thugs mercilessly beat Wilcox and filmed the entire ordeal which quickly went viral on social media.
In an interview with The Chicago Tribune Wilcox recounted the brutal attack,
“ONE OF THE GUYS – AFRICAN-AMERICAN AT THE BUS STOP – SAID ‘YEAH, THAT’S ONE OF THOSE WHITE BOY TRUMP SUPPORTERS.’ AND I SAID ‘WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH THIS ACCIDENT? I JUST WANT TO EXCHANGE INSURANCE.’”
[…]
“AND THEN, THE NEXT THING I KNOW, THE GUY SAID, ‘DON’T WORRY ABOUT IT, WE’RE GONNA BEAT HIS ASS.’”
Wilcox also said that after one of the suspect’s took off in his car he hung onto his vehicle for about a mile before eventually letting go. Wilcox admitted in the interview that he did in fact for Donald Trump, but did not mention that to these animals when he was being brutally attacked.
Thankfully, these thugs were found and will face the justice they deserve. There is no excuse for this type of behavior and it could all be avoided if Obama just issued a statement of peace. Instead of him being a leader and condemning these attacks his silence sends a clear message that he approves of these tactics.
While everyone is afforded the right to free speech, this has crossed the line. I can only hope that these protests and attacks will settle down before anyone else is hurt.
What do you think?
Punishment should be in proportion to the crime.
These hoodlums injured their victim.
Rather than incarcerating them, the criminal justice system should injure them, at least as severely as they injured their victim.
