Only in Cook County can minority offenders not be charged with a hate crime after beating a white man senseless while screaming that he voted for Donald Trump on video. If you're fed up with this hypocrisy in our justice system, please sign this petition to lobby the court system to hold these offenders accountable by charging them with a hate crime. What kind of example is our justice system setting when only charging caucasian offenders with hate crimes. Hate is hate, no matter who the offenders are. The double standard must come to an end. http://abc7.ws/2fipRyX

The momentum behind this petition highlights a significant public demand for fairness in our legal proceedings. I appreciate your commitment to ensuring that the application of the law remains consistent for everyone.

I am currently reviewing the details of this case with legal experts to determine the next steps for our advocacy. The persistent silence from the local authorities suggests that they have no intention of addressing this disparity voluntarily. We must continue to insist upon the uniform application of the law.

This is absolutely ridiculous that the authorities are "hesitant" to call this crime what it obviously is- a Hate crime. If we as a people are to have true equality this double standard has to end. If a person is attacked because of their race it should not be void as a hate crime if the victim is white.

The law should protect ALL races white as well as people of color. It is absolutely insane to not charge these individuals with hate crimes.

The proof of a hate crime was clearly in the video. It the video is legit then so is the crime.

Hate is hate color, gender, profession, shouldn't matter when itncomes.to justice and the law. I was raised justice is blind and THE LAW applies to EVERYONE.

This incident is in every way a hate crime. Stop the double standards. If whites did this to anyone of color they would be crucified.
