Four black young adults have been charged with hate crimes for abducting and torturing a mentally disabled white teen while live-streaming on Facebook. Their lawyers, pleading bail, tried to make the case the four were responsible people with jobs, going to school and one looked after a sibling confined to a wheel chair. Their bail was denied. 

What allows four individuals to simultaneously abduct and torture another person for perhaps 48 hours in a planned and vicious manner? Why wouldn't one or more of the four have cautioned to stop along the way?
