Shut up, slave!: A spilled Starbucks drink leads to sidewalk fight and hate-crime

Source: Washington Post

Felony hate crime charges have been filed against a man who was caught on video unleashing a racist tirade and turning violent outside a Chicago Starbucks three months ago, officials said.

William Boucher, 24, was originally charged with misdemeanor battery June 6 after he "became irate" when someone spilled a drink on him inside the coffee shop, police said. Boucher's rant ended in his spitting and throwing a punch at apparent strangers outside the Starbucks, sending one man to the hospital, police said.

In August, a judge issued a no-bond arrest warrant for four new felony hate crime charges and four upgraded felony aggravated battery charges against Boucher, according to the Cook County State's Attorney's Office. Boucher was booked into the Cook County jail Saturday, with bond set at $50,000, jail records showed.

If convicted, Boucher will face probation or two to five years of prison for each of the aggravated battery charges, and one to three years of prison for each of the hate crime charges, the state's attorney's office said.

I am curious what the people in this guy's life say about him. He has the face and look of an asshole. Which I know isn't fair, but sometimes you really can tell by just looking at someone

Going through his profile made me really angry for some reason. Just the way he presents himself and stuff he says seems like a movie character that the viewers are supposed to hate. It doesn't look like it's a recent phase either, but rather he's been like that since a kid.

Maybe his punishment will give him a new outlook on life that is more grounded in reality.

Small wonder.

It also says he's from a suburb of St Petersberg, Russia.

Great.

Another Russian Nazi.

Hope he doesn't have indulgent, dirtbag parents who will buy him out of this.

They did a pathetic job of watching him grow up into a piece of garbage.
