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.
There are no hate crimes. Once you include “hate” you extra punish people because of their thoughts and words. That is UnAmerican. The Deed done is the crime, no matter the thoughts and words of the perps.

In other words, you Whiteys go to hell, as long as bammy is president you are nothing but $h!t.
When will the Amish stop this madness?!

Hey, obozos should claim these as his sons and daughters, based on how we “waited for investigations” in prior incidents!
Own it, you racist bastid!

“It is not clear how long this would have continued uninterrupted had a downstairs neighbor not complained about the noise. After this neighbor told the group to curtail the noise or she would contact police, some of them went downstairs and “started kicking her door in,” Duffin said.
Police officers were called for the report of damaged property, which enabled the 18-year-old to escape, Duffin said.
Although I'm a vehement opponent of so called "hate crimes" I do support extra punishment for certain crimes committed against children,the elderly and the disabled.So if an unjustified attack did,in fact,occur I'd support extra punishment if the victim was,in fact,disabled.
15 more days, or two weeks. Nine more days if we don’t count today and weekends.
Obama’s a disgrace to the office.
I disliked the GOPe candidates with a passion.
But no way would I vote for an narcissist anti American Marxist muzzie.
Keep the faith only 2 weeks to go.
Just think, if that’s the best they can do in an official statement, you can imagine what they’re really saying (along the lines of “white boy bleed a lot”).
And “make amends”? They haven’t even expressed remorse! Their mug shots show them to be defiant and completely unapologetic. They are devoid of human conscience and empathy.
the White House statement is a racial hate crime
“I wouldn’t speculate at this point to what degree federal officials would get involved for considering those kinds of crimes.”
Yeah, Josh, we know...the skin colors are not what the President normally expects before he will comment on a “hate” crime. What duplicity and hypocrisy you and the Dems exhibit.
Oh - did you hear that Trump won and your side lost? Just checking.
Not the Onion, right?
What a perfect commentary on the finish line of the Obama administration and it’s fortitude over right and wrong, good and evil, and weaponry in politics.
White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest just proved he has his head stuck up hi SIX.
The correct answer. We await the DA or police investigation results. Anything we say may just add fuel to the fire like we did with Ferguson and Treyvon
Where is the civil rights investigation from the civil rights division?
So what happens when bam my is no longer in the White House? I’ve be wondering about that for a while. Will it be that when he leaves, things will settle down because the animals won’t have their god bammy to look to for forgiveness? It’s something I’m going to look at a few months after Trump gets in.
If it was 4 whites beating on a black it would be a hate crime, but since it was 4 blacks beating on a white, it’s not a hate crime. Shows who Obama is, doesn’t it!
“Hate crime” categorization is an attempt to make certain crimes less politically correct and subject to heavier penalties than other crimes. Leftist demagoguery.
