CNN reporter Sara Ganim couldn't stop herself from laughing at the Facebook video of the victim's torments. "My favorite part was where they made him drink out of the toilet," she recounted. "The retard deserved it. He voted for Trump."

An 18-year-old mentally challenged man was tortured for two days by Black Lives Matter-inspired criminals as "a protest against the racist Trump Administration." Four Chicago millenials—Jordan Hill, 18, Tesfaye Cooper, 18, Brittany Covington, 18, and Tanishia Covington, 24 beat, kicked, burned, and cut their victim while shouting "f*** Trump" and "f*** white people."
Members of the leftist media at CNN and NBC were hesitant to judge the perpetrators too harshly. NBC News correspondent Ron Mott said "this incident strikes me as an example of youthful stupidity rather than a crime, per se. They posted a video of their interactions with this individual they took into their home. If their intent had been criminal why would they broadcast their escapade?"
CNN political commentator Symone Sanders, a former adviser to Sen. Bernie Sanders presidential campaign, blamed the assailants actions on "Trump stirring up hostility in people across the country with his hate-filled rhetoric. It is Trump who has threatened to cut off people's welfare and force them to get jobs. That they would strike out in fear and anger is understandable."
Sanders also dismissed racism as a motive. "First, all the people charged with this man's mistreatment are black," she pointed out. "There is considerable scholarly debate as to whether it is possible for a black person to be racist. Second, as I understand it, the victim was chosen because of his mental disability, not his skin color." Sanders said that the fact that the perps appeared on their own video shouting "f*** white people" was "not relevant," since "this is a sentiment shared by all the black people I know. It's just the way we talk among ourselves."
CNN host Don Lemon rebuffed his interviewee Matt Lewis' contention that "it's evil. It's brutality. It's man's inhumanity to man" and blamed the kidnapping and torture on "the poor parenting of these misguided young people. I don't think it's evil. 'Evil' is Trump becoming this nation's president in two weeks."

White House press secretary Josh Earnest observed that "the beating demonstrates a level of depravity that is an outrage to a lot of Americans. On the other hand, there are also a lot of Americans who would hold that the injuries inflicted on this one white man are insufficient payback for 300 years of slavery and Jim Crow laws."
In related news, President Barack Obama told ABC News correspondent Judy Hsu that "race relations, like everything else, have gotten better during my term in the White House." As proof of his claim, the President cited his recent award of the Department of Defense Medal for Distinguished Public Service. "No other president has received as many awards as I have," Obama bragged. "This is why I'm confident that the verdict of history will rank my presidency as one of the best, if not the best, this nation has ever seen."

When ISIS makes video of killing Christians, is the fact the video is posted online evidence that it is not a crime?
Excellent!
“They posted a video of their interactions with this individual they took into their home. If their intent had been criminal why would they broadcast their escapade?”
Not because they are just idiots, but because they are Democrat idiots!
Sanders said, “f*** white people”. It’s just the way we talk among ourselves.”
And she is gonna tell me what is racist? Screw that racist witch.

This hardly seems like satire.
The people who did this and those who won’t condemn this are depraved.
LOL - you've captured the little monsters ...
You stretched the facts but you didn’t stretch the truth.
This one is truly hysterical. Good work John.
My only reservation is that under the humor here, there is still the story of one genuinely trusting soul who was horribly abused by people he admired for the mere sport if it. It’s worse knowing that the victim may not have been capable of comprehending why this was happening to him, if anybody could, by people he knew and grew up with. I don’t know if that made his suffering greater or worse but I guess it doesn’t matter. This story really gets to me. I read the perps might get 30 years for it. Cant find much sympathy for them in my heart right. Kidnap and torture is no joke. Kidnap and torture of a person who is mentally incapable of understanding the darkness that can reside in some people’s hearts just feels worse to me. If some in the media want to portray it as a prank gone astray so be it, but it is like beating on a puppy. Why? It is behavior I find hard to write off as mere juvenile braggadocio gone wrong. A prank gets old in a few minutes, this went on for what, 36 hours? It cannot be called an ill conceived prank when you consider they stopped for food and to sleep, only to come back and torture him some more again and again.
