Captain Picard Facepalm

That's because you're cool! ;)

Lol. :)

this, and worse, happens every day and CNN doesn't cover it. I think the only reason this's even making the news is that they live-streamed it and the reality is, that people don't have the emotional capacity to handle it, especially the news, that can't even handle their own false narrative half the time.

They *need* to sit down and have a damn department meeting and decide to throw away the narrative and just be freaking human beings and stop being robot puppets, then I think a lot of this would go away.

They're just going to double down on their blatantly biased coverage it seems. Instead of reporting on the actual criminals, they're trying to find scapegoats by blaming Trump and attacking infowars. Lol check out this:

agreed.

As it sits by their own self incrimination by posting the videos online, there is no denying it is a hate crime. It would be racist to say anything else.

At least one of the perps was a classmate of the victim, which leads me to think that a case for his/her mental state may be brought into play during the trial.

I'd like to say it's an open and shut case, but sometime our legal system ignores justice. As a progressive, I believe the punishment should fit the crime. Years in prison? Nope. Do the same thing to the perps as they did to the victim. But the Constitution says that's cruel and unusual punishment. WTF. It's a cruel and, hopefully, unusual punishment.

I think the sad truth of this event was pretty obvious from the start. But to CNN's credit, they avoided inflammatory language and showed enough journalistic restraint to let an investigation run its course before reaching a conclusion. The taunting, name calling and derogatory references to the President-elect could have been added to the original tape by some mean spirited third parties in a deplorable attempt to generate more false news. And, after the months of violent protests and uncivil behavior of the deplorable mobs celebrating their electoral triumph, who can blame CNN for being cautious?

Well said

Yeah CNN was really playing it safe. Glad you noticed it too. Also good on you, that was very well written.

Sad part is, they'd be playing it plenty safe if the races were reversed and they called the white people racist. That's what you don't get.

Well actually here's a quote from that article from CNN "Chicago police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi emphasized Thursday that the investigation has so far not revealed a racial or political motive" can't call it something they can't prove. I know it probably is but they don't want to say anything that they don't have to. Looks like you need to read the facts a little better, it's embarrassing.

P.S. Thanks for the grammar correction i honestly didn't notice. Oh and i read the time wrong because i still haven't set it from savings time or whatever. Lastly, I'm lovin this does not equal I'm butthurt, you gotta think before you type sometimes man.

Lol, actually I was referring to an actual video on CNN, where one of the "reporters" says what happened wasn't a hate crime, in other words, not racist. Nice try though bud. And it's cute how you're mimicking me. :D

So according to CNN means reporter and not website, wow that was so clear. Both are CNN and it is right because the police report doesn't say it was a hate crime (even though it is) so the news network shouldn't say it was either. Good on you for actually linking something this time, i'll have to get back on that one cause i really got to sleep now, lol. And thanks again, i really am trying to add some humor so that things don't go dark for either of us.

On another note, CNN really does need some serious quality control, their articles are so much better then their reporters.

No, the reporter was saying she didn't think it should be labeled a hate crime and was downplaying it, as was Lemon. And all four have been charged with hate crimes.

Okay so i checked the CNN video you were talking about. She said that it shouldn't be labeled a hate crime right now, which is right. She said that they shouldn't call it a hate crime because the police are still investigating. Man i had to double chrck and repeat myself. It's okay though she does seem a bit off so i get where you might be coming from. I know you don't care but i think next time maybe just say a CNN reporter rather then CNN as a whole because that's to vague in terms of this topic. I don't mean to toot my own horn or undermined ya here but toot toot.

No, once again, I need to repeat myself apparently. She gave her opinion as a CNN reporter that she didn't THINK it was a hate crime. Lemon downplayed it too. CNN giving a platform to their reporter saying it wasn't a hate crime IS CNN saying it wasn't racist.

So the opinions of two reporters make up all the credibility of the network. She said it shouldn't be labeled and gave an opinion that it wasn't, her opinion doesn't matter when she already said it hasn't been labeled. Also you aren't reperting yourself because you add more info that you didn't tell me about. First it was CNN, then a CNN reporter, then she said it, then she said an opinion. You can say whatever you want but you should have started with the whole truth rather than pull a clickbait fake stoey outta thin air. Her opinion isn't the report, evrything else said it wasn't to be labeled a hate crime at the time. She had a claim and tried to back it up, i don't agree with her but that doesn't mean CNN doesn't believe it wasn't racist. How is CNN supposed to know what she would say, she gave an OPINION after telling the TRUTH. stop making this longer than it needs to be, CNN didn't screw up, whatever new site told you they did messed up because the baited you and you tried to pass it on.

The only person triggered here is you. I'm addressing your defense of CNN. And you're the one who needs to improve their reading comprehension. I never said "CNN is racist".

How is infowars racist? I'll wait here while you provide proof. You're just a sheeple regurgitating MSM talking points. I already know what you're going to say before you say it. It's hilarious. :D

I'm not gonna give you any proof because you'll just call me out with some of that bull ya keep pulling from your hole like ya did last time. Let it be and go do something productive with your day! Also with your dumb logic CNN is racist because one of the reporters is, like how a reporter ssaidshe thought it wasn't a hate crime so CNN doesn't think it's a hate crime! Bame! That's your logic and you forgot it already!

You're the one who has nothing better to do than to try and atrack my meme.

And no, you don't have any proof that infowars is "racist". Lol, you're just showing how mindless you are. Why don't you try thinking for yourself? Is it too scary?

That's not my logic at all. "According to CNN" is stating the outlet where I heard an opinion, not generalizing an opinion itself. Nice try bud.

"I know the evidence was as clear as day but they still need to check everything they got, especially when most of it's on the internet, that's how law enforcement works. They don't care about public not liking some of the things they do or backlash, they have a job and they do it."

Really? Have you heard of the "Ferguson effect"? Police response in cities like Chicago has changed because of BLM's violent rhetoric.

They charged the 4 kidnappers with 3 crimes right off the bat and clearly tried to avoid charging them with a hate crime. AFTER having all the facts the police chief said it was just "kids acting up". AFTER the backlash they said it was in fact a hate crime and added those charges. They didn't receive any new information that they didn't already have to change their assessment of the situation.

"Also you aren't reperting yourself because you add more info that you didn't tell me about. First it was CNN, then a CNN reporter, then she said it, then she said an opinion."

First of all, it's YOUR problem that you didn't visit my link to understand my premise, not mine. It's not a "clickbait link". Secondly, I TOLD you exactly what happened in my first two replies. Again, if you couldn't understand, it's YOUR problem, not mine. Here's what I said:

"No, the reporter was saying she didn't think it should be labeled a hate crime and was downplaying it, as was Lemon. And all four have been charged with hate crimes."

Did I really need to capitalize THINK for you to understand I was telling you it was her OPINION?

She is a racist. If you watched my video I linked, they showed other examples of her racism as well, like when she said "oh poor white people" in response to the man who was carjacked and beaten by black thugs. If a show on CNN is discussing it and giving their opinions as CNN EMPLOYEES that it wasn't racist, then it was said on CNN that it wasn't racist hence my first line of the meme, "according to CNN".

NOTHING needed to be "investigated" to determine this was a hate crime. The black people said "F**K WHITE PEOPLE, F**K TRUMP" MULTIPLE TIMES. The police didn't WANT to charge them with hate crimes because they're already hated enough in Chicago. They only did because of so much backlash.

This isn't really that hard to comprehend.

I told you I disagree with her, I know it was racist, but the police didn't say it so i didn't and neither did CNN. I KNOW it's a hate crime but I don't label things on the spot, it is a terrible event but labels do nothing good. The reporter gave an OPINION after stating the FACTS people can have opinions. You say CNN is racist because one (and probably more) of their reporters don't like a certain race. I bet INFORWARS loves all the races and religions right? CNN is more mainstream and "professional" but it has it's flaws, a lot of flaws, that they need to fix. I'm not defending CNN, i don't watch it, but saying the network is racist is kind stretching it, like a lot. You give opinions all the time, and they hurt your cases and credibility for those who oppose, that helps no one. That doesn't mean you shouldn't stop being the way you are, but it does hurt the image of the website. CNN isn't the best, that reporter isn't good for much, but bad apples don't ruin the basket, or however that goes.

Sorry i don't trust your links but after you messed up Picard I decided not to click anymore. So i looked into it personally. I still think CNN isn't racist because of the actions of some of its employees, while i don't agree with them, it seems odd to remove people from your network solely because they act racist. I am in no way saying i agree with that person or like their actions. CNN reporters were having a discussion, not everyone agreed with her and they tried to move on to other things, they didn't want to deal with her, a discussion by reporters doesn't reflect the news station as a whole, discussions are for people to express concerns and OPINIONS.Sorry there is a news station out there that wants to let people express those things, regardless to how right or wrong they are. And about the police, they need to do an investigation for everything, they can't just start yelling this and that because they know it, I know the evidence was as clear as day but they still need to check everything they got, especially when most of it's on the internet, that's how law enforcement works. They don't care about public not liking some of the things they do or backlash, they have a job and they do it. Lastly, about you saying it's my problem for not checking the link, I wouldn't need to check it if you hadn't clickbaited claiming it was all CNN when it IS just a reporter. Not sure it's going to change your mind, but i'm gonna leave with that and move on.

Don Lemon and Symone Sanders are CNN employees downplaying an obvious hate crime. The kidnappers said "F**K WHITE PEOPLE". CNN's reporters analysis was that it wasn't a hate crime. Once again, my meme is correct.

Your rant just shows how ignorant you are. And I don't care about your excuses to why you didn't go to my link. I never "messed up". I wasn't linking evidence for an argument. I was making fun of Opan's UNBROKEN sentences with a video of Picard talking about someone DOING THAT with the phrase "incredibly unbroken sentence". It wasn't even meant for you to watch. I don't give a shit what Picard said AFTER that. That's what his comments consist of, do they not? Unbroken sentences?

You're trying to tear my meme apart and failing big league.

Infowars has more viewers/listeners than CNN. They don't employ racists like CNN. They're more mainstream AND professional than CNN. CNN have faked reporters on location shoots using greenscreen and cut off people when they started getting critical of Hillary. If you want to be a mentally enslaved sheeple go right ahead. You've probably never even watched Infowars. You just think it's "cool" to make fun of them because CNN told you it is. Way to think for yourself.

Someone's triggered. lol bringing up junk from something else. You say i rant just because i need a lot of words to explain, while you yell and curse and namecall because you get butthurt every time. Infowars is biased and racists but your to blind to see that, you try so hard to defend it even though on the inside it's just like CNN. Don't link a video if you only want someone to hear the first few sentences and ignore the rest. Let it be and leave it all. P.S. i told you i don't watch CNN so clearly you need help reading.

We in the business call it "Not watching the news."

f**k off dickhead
