It was just reported that the victims in Charleston were each shot 5 times.  The oldest victim 10.  

 

I have no problem reiterating...white supremacists do not deserve to exist.  DR has claimed to be a part of this group, and if they had officially denounced him I may think differently.  But silence is golden and they are complicit in this crime.  

 

I'm so fuckin pissed right now.

There is a thread at another forum (dl) that says he's bisexual, dated women and men of color, and the alt-right is just an act to get rich and famous.

Mmmhmm, that's real comforting.

This story really grabs me in the heart. I can barely stand to think of what those people went through in their last moments and the survives who only barely emerged with their lives while having to witness the death of family and church brothers and sisters. Out of respect from the victims and the survivors, I've read about them so as not to forget that these were human beings, not merely victims of evil.

 

Today, I also had another pit in my stomach thinking about the parents who should be celebrating the coming Christmas but can only mourn the loss of their children who were viciously taken away from them.  I  wish the news would stop giving oxygen to the disgusting conspiracy theorists whose opinions aren't worth the dust beneath the parent's feet.

Nevermind, it's above

Agreed, DD.  They both break my heart.  

 

Article on some of those who, for political or personal reasons, actually did move to Canada (what a surprise there are no vain Hollywood celebrities on the list).

This is why I was telling a friend that it was more about payback for the U.S. having the temerity to elect and re-elect Obama, it was even stronger than their hatred of Hillary. People are now exclaiming that they are taking back their country and POC have already reported incidents of harrassment and intimidation post election.  One Muslim woman has already reported that her hijab wearing cousin was assaulted.

The most disturbing thing about this is the number of White women who closed their mouths and voted for Trump. They were the 'silent Trump voter' that his campaign alluded to throughout the campaign.

 

What was weird was that earlier yesterday, by noon the news was announced that the HRC campaign had cancelled the fireworks. Everyone was curious what that meant. 

 

I am having flashbacks to Election Day 2000 when I was at University and had an evening writing class and had voted earlier that day and the polls were still open for another 3 hours and this wealthy white guy who was in my class, walks in and says "My Dad told me, it's already been decided, Bush won". We were all stunned but somehow I believed him. Later on, I would hope he was wrong but eventually the kid's father turned out to be correct.

Of course, we remember that in 2000 and yesterday, both Democratic candidates won the Popular Vote but lost the Electoral College.

This felt similar when the news announced that HRC had cancelled the fireworks. With early voting, there was probably a strong sense of how certain states were going to lean and the media, for ratings, kept up the suspense.

 

 

Bombshell: Muslim woman admits making up story about hijab ripped off on NYC subway

 

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4035004/Police-NYC-Muslim-womans-bias-report-false.html

 

A Muslim teenager who claimed she was called a terrorist and attacked by Donald Trump supporters on a New York subway train apparently lied about the whole story.

 

Yasmin Seweid, 18, was arrested by police on Wednesday for filing a false report and admitted she lied about the so-called attack.

 

She was arraigned early Thursday at Manhattan Criminal Court, where she appeared with a shaved head and without a hijab.

There are always these types of claims - it's unfortunate because it obscures how many times this truly does happen and is happening.

Agree with this as well.

THIS!  One hoax from a clearly disturbed teenager won't obscure the Muslim woman police officer who was assaulted as she took her son home or the other unfortunate incidents that have happened. 

 

The fact is @GregNYC in 2016, the rate of hate crimes in NYC alone has escalated by 35% over the last year.

 

Finding Hate Crimes on the Rise, Leaders Condemn Vicious Acts

 

And no amount of cherry picking to find the hoax in the group of multitudes of legitimate attacks is going to change that.

 

In case you need a visual aid, here is a picture of the Muslim female Police Office who was attacked in the NYC subway, Office Elsokary.

 

 

 

Looks like some Democratic State Attorneys General plan to use a cherished Republican SAG tactic. Litigation against the next POTUS.

 

To Combat Trump, Democrats Ready a G.O.P. Tactic: Lawsuits

 

And Trump, while still avoiding his Intelligence briefings like he dodges disclosing his tax returns, has time to attack Vanity Fair's reviews of his crappy restaurant.

He can't distract if the TVMSM doesn't go along with it.
