Related: About this forumTYT: Men "Inspired By Trump" Urinate On Homeless Man
Two men in Boston have been arrested for urinating and beating up a homeless Latino man who they say were inspired to assault because of Donald Trump. The two guys are Scott and Steve Leader and when they were arrested they were also making threats to police officials, which is kind of interesting. When two white men make threats to police officials they just get thrown into a cell.
Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian (The Point) hosts of The Young Turks discuss. What other horrible acts do you think Donald Trumps rhetoric might inspire? Tell us what you think in the comments.

Boston brothers said that they were inspired by Donald Trump to beat and urinate on a homeless Latino man, police revealed on Wednesday.
According to State Police, Scott Leader and Steve Leader encountered the victim on the way home from a Red Sox game near a stop on Bostons subway system, The Boston Globe reported on Wednesday.
The man said that he awoke to find the brothers urinating on his face and rummaging through his belongings.
Next thing . . . he was getting hit in the face and head, a police report explained. He remembers being punched several times and hit with the metal pole.
A witness said that the brothers were heard laughing as they walked away.
The man was said to be in fair condition on Wednesday after being taken to Boston Medical Center. He suffered a broken nose and bruises on his head and torso, the police report indicated.

acting like animals while they were in custody.
In the corporate media commentary on police brutality cases involving black members of the public, you always have a bunch of pundits and "experts" justifying any level of force from the police because the victims in those cases didn't show total subservience and deference to authority.
