So because they did something stupid during the commission of multiple crimes, they weren't really trying to be criminal?

Being stupid and being a criminal are not mutually exclusive.

quote:

NBC News correspondent Ron Mott made an odd statement when discussing the four Chicago teens who kidnapped and tortured a mentally challenged young man.

Mott told wondered aloud to MSNBC’s Ali Velshi why the four suspects “made so many errors” and broadcasted their crime on Facebook Live “if they were truly trying to be criminal.”

quote:

“Well, you look at it on the surface and you think kids can make some really poor decisions from time to time,” Mott answered.

“But when you add in the criminal element here, the fact that they stole someone’s vehicle, the fact that they apparently broke into a house where this alleged attack took place, the fact that they, you know, physically harmed this young person, held him against his will and then apparently, you know, texted the parents demanding some sort of monetary exchange to send him home.”
“It goes beyond just stupid decisions by kids,” he added. “But because they made so many errors, if they were truly trying to be criminal, to obviously broadcast your crime is not a smart thing to do.”

The more outrageous the decadent, failing media establishment becomes, the stronger the TRUMP revolution becomes.

I'm having a hard time following what exactly this guy was trying to say.

Sounds to me like he was wondering out loud how criminals can be so stupid.

"Kids"? My little 2 yr. old great granddaughter is curled up in the evening sun right now. Those heathen are NOT KIDS! Unless one thinks it was *kids* who stormed Normandy Beach.

Al Capone wasn't trying to be criminal. He was a business man.

So according to some media pundits these days, torturing handicapped people by kicking and hitting them, as well as scalping their heads, isn't criminal. This is the stupidity by the "media experts" which is giving us President Trump. Yet, they continue to double down on the stupidity.

What a bunch of morons

The media has gotten way out of hand. They have lost their gotdamned minds!

CNN commentators say: 'not a hate crime': Don Lemon says that the act was not evil

Of course they weren't. Can a rabid dog try to be criminal?

I believe they were also implicated in the Wikileaks email release. Not that they had to be in order for viewers to know where they stand. They are democrat foot soldiers.

I heard the two women were charged with burglary because when their neighbor below them threatened to call the police if they didn't stop making so much noise, the two of them went downstairs and broke down the neighbor's door.

This is no doubt a hate crime and the idiots should be charged accordingly...but they are also something of a hero because they have convinced so many of you that hate crimes really do exist....when so many of you have denied the existence of such crimes for years!!!!

I understand his point

Who would be stupid enough to broadcast a real crime?

So they're too dumb to walk among the civilized. Regardless, they should be quarantined from the rest of society.
