What a disgrace this sort of hatred would put me off living in the USA

He's alive, I believe police found him walking around disorientated and obviously traumatised. He was taken to a hospital and that's where he eventually was able to speak up about what happened, the police were notified about the live video and they connected the two.

Honestly, they destroyed this guy's mental stability much more than what he had before. Now I guarantee he won't be able to trust others without this flashing back to his mind. I read somewhere that it was started because "he's a supporter of Trump" kind of like that one dude back in November who was apparently a Trump supporter, got beaten and had his car stolen in the middle of stop light in broad daylight. Whatever the case, all 4 need to be thrown in jail, I mean they even said they should kill him and how they were going to do it, given the situation, that's more than enough to throw them in jail.

And then of course, CNN panelist Symone Sanders was off trying to spout bullshit about how this isn't a hate crime. Instead she tried to make it sound like Trump's fault and then even threw the possibility of it being Obama's fault? I don't even know anymore.

I heard about this story, and it made me really angry. People like these( the two black males and the two females) truly deserve the worst punishment that the government can give. I know that they have now been charged. But when this story came out, the police and CNN, first tried to say that this "may" not have anything to do with race, even though they can be heard saying f*** white people. And then the police went on to say that they were just kids being kids, and CNN tried to blame Trump. I'm 17 now, and when i was younger, i used to think that the news was completely true, but now I am realizing that they will say anything as long as they can make some money. Could you imagine if this situation had been different, and it was four white people who had kidnapped a black mentally disabled man. This would be a completely different story. There would be all sorts of protests and the news would turn this into something even worse. This was a horrible thing that happened, and it should have never happened to anybody. I am going to leave it at this, because just talking about this makes me angry, and I'm getting to the point where I'm going to say things that would not be "socially acceptable", and would make me a "racist".

This is absolutely to hear. Hate hearing things like is, but don't we all?
