        Me calling them a cowardly subhuman had everything to do with their actions and nothing to do with their race. If you can’t understand that premise it’s on you.

    Alternate headline: “CNN platforms and legitimizes Trump propaganda after blonde, white woman falls victim to crime”

    What happened here is a senseless tragedy but there is no “debate” about crime stat trends. Trump sending his goons to invade and take over a city isn’t a “debate” it’s a coup.

      Thousands of murders a year in the US, but when a pretty blond woman gets killed by a minority it’s in the news cycle for weeks

      Crying “mental health” is a distraction from the disparity in wealth. It’s patronizing and ineffective. The vast majority of people forced into mental health care see it as a joke and a punishment, just like rehab.

      People are miserable and lost because the only paths that seem available to them are serving for peanuts or taking advantage of others.

      We need to start looking in different directions and valuing different things if we want these problems to be solved.

        The vast majority of people forced into rehab may view it as a joke and a punishment, but it still gets them sobered up.

        Ask me how I know.

    The problem here is not the crime, it’s the failure to either get this man help or to ensure he is separated from the public. More police could not have helped here.
