The video of a 20-year-old brutally beating an elderly patient at a Detroit nursing home has gotten national attention – and even the President has weighed in.
President Donald Trump tweeted in disbelief after disturbing videos surfaced appearing to show a black man beating white elderly patients to a pulp at a Michigan nursing home.
‘Is this even possible to believe? Can this be for real? Where is this nursing home, how is the victim doing?’ the president tweeted later that same evening.
The violent video is incredibly difficult to watch for most – including the father of the younger man, who says he’s praying for the elderly victim.

Now police are investigating a possible second incident caught on camera while the young man’s father says there’s more to the story.
“That hurts to see that,” he said. “What he did is wrong and (I offer) my apologies to the victim’s family.”
The father, who asked not to be identified, said his son has had several health issues growing home, has autism, and called from a group home in Chelsea last week to say he wasn’t sleeping, was feeling anxious, and hearing voices.
“I just don’t want people to think that he’s this vicious individual. He’s got mental issues,” his father said.
He said his son called 911 and was taken to a mental health facility in Ann Arbor. Last Wednesday, he was diagnosed with COVID-19 and said he was supposed to be taken to another facility to be quarantined.
“It should’ve never happened because he should’ve never been put in that environment.”
Authorities — following the orders of Governor Gretchen Whitmer — moved the young man to a nursing home to recover from COVID-19.
This is on Governor Whitmer, basically, this proves that she is still sending patients into nursing homes!
Maybe we should make him another victim of the Democrats who sent him there. The way Democrats reason is that if they had not sent him there, he would not have been in a position to abuse the vulnerable.
The same reason why Obamacare had death panels in them.
I can do it just as effectively and more efficiently with exactly half the weight.
I read somewhere last night (wish I could remember the source), that Michigan nursing homes were being offered $5000 a patient to take them.
My question is for the victims relatives: What are you going to do about it?
Has it? I honestly don't know. Is it on a 24/7 loop on all MSM outlets just as it would be if the pigments of the two were reversed?
I no longer watch the CNNNBCABCCBSMSNBCNPR misinformation cabal so I don't know if it has garnered any coverage there.
Well, they can’t visit their elderly family members because no one is allowed in. There is no telling what is happening to our loved ones during lockdown. A perfect environment to terrorize patients with no oversight. Families should be demanding to see their moms and dads.
"I can do it just as effectively and more efficiently with exactly half the weight."
I can solve this problem with 40 grains.
“It should’ve never happened because he should’ve never been put in that environment.”
It’s always someone else’s fault.
Dad is right. He should never been placed in that nursing home. A hospital with a mental ward (do such still exist?) where he could recover and still be controlled would have been much better.
There is so much stupid and hate shown by posters here that I really have to ask the question “What the hell has happened to Free Republic?”
Anything worth doing is done best with a .45.
