    The Tibbetts family remains strong despite republican efforts to politicize Molly’s death. Can’t imagine what this they are going through:





    Imagine having the strength to keep fighting against the racist tide when you are swamped by grief. 
    So this guy was here illegally but we won't make a big deal.  However in the gun violence thread we have a white male committing mass murder while gaming and now it is a call to ban!  Double standards annoy me.  
    I take your posts with grains of salt. 
    So which part of my post is not true?  
    Ha. For one, your comparing two murders to mass shootings which have been happening regularly for decades. 
    Have illegal immigrant murders and crime also not been happening for decades?

    Mostly what these threads have come down to lately is snarky one liners to belittle someone who we think we're superior to intellectually.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    That's a false equivalence. That has nothing to do with double standards.

    Okay, excuse the snark then. The point is Mollie Tibbitts and Kate Steinle are the rallying cry for people on this side of the debate. Two attractive white women who were brutally murdered. Both are horrible tragedies. But the rallying cry for gun control advocates are the thousands of people victimized by mass shootings which happen on a weekly basis. One problem is a much larger issue than the other. Comparing the two is like comparing apples to ham sandwiches.

    One resulting in 10,000+ deaths per year

    How many deaths per year are caused by undocumented immigration?

    Dunno. But I’m still not certain why the hell you can’t fix more than 1 thing at a time.

    No beef there, just pointing out these issues are nowhere near equal as far as actual impact on American quality of life

    Sure, you could, absolutely; but since they are not going to, if you have to only fix one thing, it should be the thing that's way more problematic and causes far more deaths, injuries, and trauma.

    “The Hispanic community are Iowans. They have the same values as Iowans,” said Mollie Tibbetts' father. “As far as I’m concerned, they’re Iowans with better food.” https://t.co/T1xFYhI8GV

    Directly from the father. No grains of salt needed.

    This family is beautiful. God bless all of them...including 2nd cousins.

    They do have awesome food.

    I've said it elsewhere on these forums: we are going to the Gorge this weekend for DMB. I will be getting my fill of Mexican food while doing so. There are so many mom and pop outfits in northern Washington with hard working, family oriented people serving the public. Prices are very fair and portions are very generous.

    We have our favourites and will be revisiting.

    While I did a boat tour of Chicago last week our tour guide told a rather interesting story about one of dmb s tour busses. Is that what you are talking about?

    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......

    Yup.

    And you've given me an idea for a kids' book: Scruffy Goes to Chicago.

    It'll be if the pop up variety. I'll think about the plot later when I'm biking, but the tour you went on will comprise some of the rising action... Lou's will serve as a foreshadowing event... you crapping your pants will be the height of the action... Eddie giving you a hug while you eat cotton candy in your new Russell sweats will be the sweet and pleasant ending!

    yes, the driver of one of their tour buses emptied 800 pounds of human waste into the chicago river.
