The story dominating the national headlines is the horrific story in Chicago, where four black thugs kidnapped a mentally disabled man, assaulted him, beat him, slashed him, held him at knifepoint, forced him to drink from the toilet, and forced him to use expletives about white people and Donald Trump — all while streaming it live on Facebook.
In addition to hate crimes, the four were charged with kidnapping, aggravated battery and aggravated unlawful restraint. Three were charged with burglary.
While covering the story on CNN, Don Lemon, the anchor of “CNN Tonight”, said he didn’t think what they did was evil.
“The fact that this was a vulnerable person that was probably duped into going along with them. It appears it is someone who is mentally disabled, I think makes it even more sickening,” said guest Matt Lewis. “But at the end of the day, you just try to wrap your head around evil. That’s what this is, it’s evil. It’s brutality. It’s man’s inhumanity to man.”
“I don’t think it’s evil,” Lemon replied. “I don’t think it’s evil. I think these are young people and I think they have bad home training. I say, who is raising these young people? I have no idea who’s raising these young people. Because no one I know on Earth who is 17 years old or 70 years old would ever think of treating another person like that. It is inhumane. And you wonder, at 18 years old, where is your parent? Where’s your guardian?”

That means The 9/11 terrorist were not evil they just had “bad home training”, this is a new kind of stupid liberals!
But had it been white thugs doing it to someone who looks like the son Obama would have had…..
What the heck is that “lemon” saying?!?! Can you explain the difference between evil and that?
He is obviously biased towards black people for him to say such a stupid thing. Bad kissing up to PC culture.
So, who is at fault that black youth is brought up in single parent homes, where nobody works, that they don’t attend school, and roam the streets, looking for trouble?
Who taught young blacks to have hit and run pregnancies, and then either disappear from their progeny to do it again, elsewhere, or to sit in jail for murder or armed robbery, instead?
Who forced the blacks to take rappers, rapists, radicals, drug dealers, pimps, and gang members for role models?
Enough blaming someone else!!!
As for the honorable “anchor”, he really sunk all the way to the bottom.
When the CNN gives you such Lemons, any drink you may wish to make will be putrid.
A real idiot!
Thank Gd it wasn’t whites torturing a black 18 year old. We would have riots.
What a lowlife piece of trash, this Lemon lime is. Does he say the same thing about Dylann Roof??? The idiot, being that he works for the Clinton News Network, probably still thinks that Hillary won the election. Hey Don, Trump won and things will be different under his administration. Your types will become worthless. You won’t have Eric Holders Thought Police to beat down the dumb stupid gullible taxpaying white man anymore.
headline misleading.
he was making a point about parenting — not exonerating them. he said inhumane… all of the posters here missed it
This is the same shoyta Lemonhead who seriously asked a guest on air if perhaps Malaysian Airlines 370 was swallowed by a black hole.
To 8: Seriously? He did say it isn’t evil. He was exonerating them by saying it was bad parenting. It could have been bad parenting. But it might not have been. It could have been bad peer pressure. But even so, the bad parenting and peer pressure led to them doing what was evil.
#8 When you attribute an adult’s evil behaviors exclusively to his parents and his upbringing you are exonerating the evildoers from any responsibility for their actions. This opens a Pandora’s box of no longer being able to hold responsible adult Nazis who were influenced by the rhetoric of Hitler, of adult Palestinians motivated by the words of their leaders, etc. which becomes a very dangerous and untenable position to maintain.
One question to this CNN anchor:–If this would have been done to you or to one of yours, would you still feel the same way?? This is reverse racist view!!
