Just before the primaries sweep through the south a surprise video surfaces of Hillary speaking in the 90's about how "at risk" youth were super predators... To help push through bill Clinton's "get tough on crime" bill

The link doesn't work but I found it on youtube. On a secondary note the attendees cheered when the protestor was escorted out. Weren't people outraged by Trump supporters cheering when protestors were escorted out?

Hillary Clinton President 2016: ‘Super Predator’ Video Flamed By Black Lives Matter Protester At Private South Carolina Event

Not that I have much agreement with BLM, but I can see the organization being concerned about Clinton given her prior comments (and her husband's prior actions as President, no matter if he apologized for them or not. Namely the collective Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994.)

Thanks for the link. Did it from my phone earlier. Not so easy to do like that.

But will it get repeated air time like they do for Trump when he puts his foot in his mouth? Or will they do as CNN has done so far, and have it on a down page link on their web page and a short clip on air and then forget it happened?

You can't stop social and small media outlets. The question is, will it be enough?

The internet never forgets. It's funny what happens when you pander to different groups and they each eventually get wind of what you said to the others. Hoping to see those transcripts from her paid speeches!

Times change. What was cool a saying to sound tough last decade is shameful today.

Still gets us back to the same condition, or question. Is someone really evolving with sincerity for an issue, or evolving because of the politics demand it for an issue. It is a legitimate concern for a voter to have. Perhaps BLM has real right to question which it is for Hillary (and whoever else.)

I don't know if this will have much impact. Time heals wounds and I think people will just see it as a sign from the past and not the present. I doubt she sees things that way now. I even doubt she saw it that way then but it was politically expedient to talk that way then. It was all a part of that Clinton "triangulation" method of kicking your base in the balls so that the other side of the aisle likes you a little more.

It wont have any impact because it is just more BLM dishonesty.

She was talking about those committing violent crime. Do you not think that those committing violent crime need to be brought to heal?

She was talking about "at risk youths"... black kids. In a Minority Report sort of fashion where they are guilty before committing a crime because they are super-predators. btw... "brought to heel... not heal." Slight miss spelling with a huge difference in meaning.
 
Something that the BLM/occupy/socialist/Bernie-knee-pad-wearers crowds thinks is shameful is probably not shameful.

Yes, thank you for pointing that out. You are absolutely correct in that regards.

While that was an error that came from my side, do you really think we were speaking of heal and not heel? Do you really think anybody got confused by it?

Thank you for exemplifying the problem with those who chose to spin.

She was speaking about a certain subset of at risk youths. Those who "often" are.


" They are not just gangs of kids anymore. They are often the kinds of kids that are called 'super-predators.' No conscience, no empathy. We can talk about why they ended up that way, but first we have to bring them to heel..."​

Spinning it to suggest she labeled "all" as such is idiocy.

Like I said, just more BLM dishonesty.
