Federal prosecutors have charged a Chicago man with “inciting a riot” over social media posts he made last August, encouraging Chicagoans to respond to a police-involved shooting by looting and vandalizing stores in the city’s Magnificent Mile shopping district.
The Chicago Sun-Times reports that 22-year-old James Massey “is charged with using a facility of interstate commerce to incite a riot in connection with looting downtown and on the Near North Side on Aug. 10. A hearing is underway.”
Massey is accused of sending out photos, videos, and messages about a police-involved shooting that took place on the city’s south side in early August. According to the Washington Post and Chicago Police Superintendent David Brown, “officers responded to a call about a man with a gun in the Englewood area; once spotting the man, they pursued him on foot. After the man shot at them, police said, the officers returned fire.”
Word of the shooting spread on Facebook, Twitter, and other social media outlets, but with the incident cast as the killing of an unarmed black man similar to other incidents that nationwide outrage. The posts reportedly encouraged residents of Chicago’s south and west sides to go north, to the Magnificent Mile, and loot luxury retail stores in response to the shooting.
