On August 8, a grand jury indicted six suspects in connection with the beating of two people in Cincinnati.
Now, a seventh person has been arrested in what police describe as a 'coordinated' attack:

A seventh suspect is under arrest in connection with what Cincinnati’s police chief calls a “violent attack” Downtown, court records show.
Gregory Wright, 32, of Avondale, was taken into custody on Monday and booked into the Hamilton County jail by 4:30 p.m. on charges of aggravated riot and aggravated robbery.
He pleaded not guilty during his arraignment on Tuesday.
...
A detective on the case has testified in court that [Jermaine] Matthews and [Montainez] Merriweather “coordinated” the attack together, alleging premeditation in their actions.
Wright has a lengthy criminal history that includes heroin trafficking, drug possession, and having an illegal gun.
So it's premeditated racism?

Lawyers for Wright and the other suspects claim their clients are the vicitms.
Smells like a civil rights violation then. RICO

Sure does.
The 7th Cincinnati suspect arrested, 32yo Gregory Wright, forcefully ripped the victim's gold chain off during the mob attack & then proceeded to film the beating with his phone.

We have a crime problem in this country.
So it was literally a hate crime.

As we all knew it was.
So far, hate crime charges have not been added.
remember when the Ohio governor, Cinci Mayor and Police Chief all called this a "brawl" and a "fight" and not the coordinate gang assault it actually was? Shame on all of them.

They have no shame.
So planning to hurt people who have a different skin color is a hate crime.

It sure is.
All those people who thought there weren’t going to be any charges 🤡

They still want charges for the victims.
Not a hate crime, because...? https://t.co/UbE1LODllX pic.twitter.com/uXaWDSMNRS

Because reasons.
So, the DEI mayor and DEI Chief of Police lied. Of course they did. https://t.co/5jMjIZCPDS

Of course they did.
Black dem leaders have not denounced this horrific act. Except for one moron who blamed the victims for it. https://t.co/mDUi8vQZCM

As we'll show you in a bit, they're still blaming the victims.
Not a very diverse gang of thugs https://t.co/yofz88uX72

Nope.
The detective says it was coordinated, meanwhile the community backing the attackers are demanding the victims be charged with felonies because they were the problem?! https://t.co/yp9CNv6yT2

That's exactly what's happening.
