On Wednesday, a group of African-American teenagers tortured a white man with special needs and streamed the horrific acts on Facebook.
White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest was asked if President Obama had any comment about the video.
“I haven’t spoken to the President about it, but I am confidant he would be angered by the images that are depicted on that video,” Earnest told the reporter.
The reporter asked Earnest if this rose to the level of a hate crime.
“I think it’s too early to tell. I certainly don’t want to predict where the investigation will lead,” Earnest told the reporter. “I wouldn’t speculate at this point to what degree federal officials would get involved for considering those kinds of crimes.”
The Associated Press described the event as such: “Hate crime, battery charges filed against four black suspects accused in beating of white man streamed live on Facebook.
Too early to say if house at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is White.
Right. I think most crime involves hate.
What's my point? The WH, considering its history, isn't sure this is a hate crime. GIVE ME A BREAK.....O's a racist, always has been, always will be. Which is weird, because he isn't actually black.
JMHO
Where is the mother and father of the perp???
“The grandmother of a young woman associated with the video said the granddaughter she raised from infancy is “not this person.”
“I’m so upset, my head is about to bust open,” said Priscilla Covington of Chicago. “I don’t know if someone influenced her ... She had her ups and down. (She) was a good person. I’m so confused.””

Could he at least say the acted stupidly?
A people who give serious credence to the concept of “hate crime” is a people invested in delusion.
Kidnapping. Fed offense.
Sometimes I think a bag of hammers is smarter than the dufus in the WH.
Joshing Earnestly on Dec. 9, 1941:
“I haven’t spoken to the president yet; I know he’s angered by the attack on Hawaii, but it’s too early to tell if it’s an act of war.”
My God....my God....can this regime sink any lower?
Yes, I know the answer. It’s not the 20th yet.
Yes, you continue my thoughts verbatim.
Too late authorities have already labeled it a HATE CRIME!
After 8 years, it is still too early to determine if there are any functioning brain cells available anywhere in the entire building that are capable of processing logic.
The Chicago Police ‘acted stupidly’ by not declaring this a ‘ hate crime’ within 30 seconds of its being revealed.
Reported yet again as “teens beating up on a special needs man”
The victim and 3 of the attackers were the same age, 18! (except one of the racist abusers was actually 24)
But the savages are “teens” and the victim is a “man”.
No one who sat in that damn church, counts Ayers, Dohrn Jarrett, and FarrahconMan as “friends” has to be a racist.
And some of us have known this about Obams from the get-go
It was BLACK kids that beat up a WHITE kid ... but I guess if Obama watches anything but FOX, he wouldn’t know that would he?
