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

He's saying they wold never have broadcast their exploits if their intent was to commit criminal acts.

It's a dumb argument, devoid of logic and common sense.

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

Trump played them like a fiddle this election season, and now they've been exposed as hacks and don't know how to react.

Is a Sociopath evil? Let Don go live on the block with that bunch, and then offer an educated opinion.

Another question for Don: Does and individual deserve unqualified respect, if the choose immoral behavior? If the choice is evil...does the choice define the individual who willingly choose it?

Double Standards = no Standards. Down we go!

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