And then the four blacks, with a combined IQ lower than room temperature, played it live on Facecrap.
I wasn't going to comment on this, but after a horrific day of thinking about it to the point where I have become physically ill, I feel I must. I was mugged once as many of you know. My mugging didn't last for 24 or 48 hours and didn't involve torture. But I will never forget the way my heart slammed against my chest thinking he was going to kill me. I'm of relatively sound mind and normal IQ. Can you, for just an instant, imagine what a mentally challenged person would feel like being taunted, beat, and tortured for hours? I fear he will never recover.

"In part because we see visuals of racial tensions, violence and so forth because of smart phones and the Internet," the president said.
"What we have seen as surfacing, I think, are a lot of problems that have been there a long time.
Whether it's tensions between police and communities, whether it's hate crimes of the despicable sort that has just now recently surfaced on Facebook."
