Trump: Boston Brothers Who Beat Up Homeless Hispanic Man Just "Want This Country to Be Great Again"

[Cali_Democrat]

By Gabrielle Bluestone

It’s easy to look at the pair of Boston brothers who allegedly beat a homeless man in a xenophobic attack apparently inspired by Donald Trump’s rhetoric and think, Wow... racist criminals. Donald Trump, however, is much more charitable than you or I.

According to the Boston Globe, Scott and Steve Leader—who both have “extensive criminal records”—began the attack by urinating on their homeless victim’s face while he was sleeping. Then they allegedly began punching him in the head and face and beating him with a metal pole, apparently because he made the mistake of being Hispanic.

And lest you think the men had no defense, they did: Scott allegedly told the arresting officer, “Donald Trump was right, all these illegals need to be deported.”

But where the arresting officer saw a pair of violent criminals, Donald Trump sees the future of our country.

Told of the attack, which also left the man soaked in urine, Mr. Trump said at a news conference late Wednesday that it was the first he had heard of it.

“It would be a shame,” Mr. Trump said, before adding: “I will say that people who are following me are very passionate. They love this country and they want this country to be great again. They are passionate.”

18. Just got it?

I've had it for awhile now.

And I'm amazed at the many people who still see him as a joke. The way he is channeling into the anger and making that work for him is the scariest thing I have ever seen in U.S. politics in my life. Others may beg to differ. That's fine, and I sincerely hope they are right about him and I'm wrong. But with every passing day Trump becomes more dangerous, IMO.

7. Abominable man

Words fail me

8. I guess we should stop laughing.

Anyone who uses such a considerable platform to condone racist violence is no longer funny.

11. This language would mean a rapid exit from the primary for him in any sane country

Unfortunately....

12. I read in the Boston papers today that these guys were a couple of spongers living in the

Southie (South Boston - Irish Catholic Neighborhood, although now becoming integrated and gentrified) projects. Which means that they were taking out of the system just as they unfairly accuse immigrants of doing the same thing. It wouldn't surprise me if they were Irish-American and that is exactly how the Irish were treated at one point in Boston history. It always amazes me how one oppressed group cannot see the unfairness of treating another oppressed group badly.

These two are scum and I hope they are prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

16. Sometimes I wish Andy Kaufman was still around and the possibility of a hoax alive.

Bloody hell, why would anyone pay this man any mind?

My faith in the general populations intellect is waning more than ever.

19. Hitler II. Yep he will drag the country down a really dark hole if

he makes President.

[deutsey]

22. What's so disconcerting is

all the people who would cheer him as he dragged us all into that hole.

[deutsey]

20. Who can argue with ironclad logic like that?

Pissing on and beating up homeless Hispanic people is certain to make this country great again.
