Four Charged in Beating of Man While Onlookers Screamed “Don’t Vote Trump”

Chicago authorities have charged four people for beating David Wilcox and hijacking his car after a car accident. People around him just watched and did nothing to help him. Instead they screamed anti-Trump sentiments:

On a video posted online, Wilcox, 50, was pummeled by several individuals, while onlookers shouted “You Voted Trump!”The altercation started when his car was rear-ended at Kedzie and Roosevelt in the North Lawndale neighborhood on Wednesday.As soon as he got out the car, a person at a nearby bus stop yelled, according to Wilcox, “That’s one of those b–ch a– Trump supporters!”Wilcox said he turned and said, “So what if I’m a Trump supporter? That doesn’t have nothing to do with this.’ ”Wilcox said he got out to ask for insurance information and that’s when the female driver of the other car started throwing punches. Soon, three men in the back of the car began throwing punches and kicking him, as well.“The lady actually threw the first shot,” he said. “Then they were all hitting me.”

Wilcox believes robbery motivated the attack, not politics. Someone did drive away with his car after the attack while Wilcox tried to hold onto it.

CBS reported that community activist spoke out against the attack:

“I am asking the public to turn these individuals in,” said Holmes. “This should have never happened.“Just because he is a white American doesn’t give you the right to just beat him–just because he voted for Trump or just because this was a fender bender.”

The police arrested those responsible:

Julian Christian, 26; Dejuan Collins, 20; Rajane Lewis, 21; and a 17-year-old girl not named by police because she is a juvenile were arrested and charged with one felony count each of vehicular carjacking.
