Over the last week, a searing tragedy on the campus of the University of Georgia gripped the nation, as news spread of the violent killing of Laken Riley, a 22-year-old nursing student.

According to Hispanic students at UGA, the devastating loss of life has led to another tragedy: a feeling of unease, uncertainty, and even fear for members of the Latino community on campus.

Coincidentally, I'm also feeling unease, uncertainty and fear from the fact that such animals as the one are prowling our country.

Perhaps the "hispanic community" and native born americans can find a solution. Unfortunately, many seem to just want to complain about racism and xenophobia... as they refuse to accept and integrate in American society.

We heard the same whining from mohammedans after mohammedans attacked the Pentagon and destroyed the World Trade Center.

A “phobia” is an UNREASONABLE fear.

An ugly episode by which to play the victim card.

I must tell this story.

A few years ago, I met online a hispanic lady and took her out to dinner. She related to me that she was from Mexico City, from one of the better families, and showed distaste for the average mexicans, which she called a name I won’t repeat. She had landed a nice job with a home improvement company, and as she rose in the company and they promoted her to the home office, where she confided in me that things were not working out.

I asked, why? and her quick answer was RACISM. In fact, she was now suing the company, she smugly confided.

I said, “Well, maybe they just don’t like you.”

The date ended shortly afterwards.

And we nothing on our southern border, nor stopped low IQ trash from immigrating here.
Anarcho-tyranny/Balkanization is the plan.

The message sent

The United States is a racist country, full of violent Christian White Nationalist.

Thousands of people of color are suffering micro-aggressions every day.

Why are Americans so mean to people who come here just to build a better life for their families and to rape and murder co-eds.

Maybe these UGA students should go back home where it’s safe. Lowlife trash.

Correct. To anyone with even the slightest understanding of history and the darker elements of human nature, there is no mystery to this behavior by our ‘leaders’.

“According to WOKE LEFTIST Hispanic students... a feeling of unease, uncertainty, and even fear for members of the Latino community...”

Too damn bad. Get the hell out. NO ONE is preventing you from going back to Mexico or whatever Spanish speaking country you came from. You never care about the feelings of non-Hispanics, so get lost. /spit

Another fear tactic. Their tattered Race Card.

No sale.

This nonsense is a common tool of the left. Pretend an insult to one particular member of a group is an insult to ALL members of that group. It works because the Leftist hive mind discourages individual thought.

The strings are too visible now; they can’t be unseen.

The left wants illegals. They want instant votes and they want the chaos to rule by crisis.

Actual Americans who are (insert faux-victim group here) don’t want either of those things, but like other subject Democrat groups they are “led” by pawns of the left who bleat “IST!” and “PHOBIA!”

Those that step out of the cage get beaten.

The media is part of the left and reports always and only what the designated agitator group says.

Every. Single. Time.

A muslim does crime. IST! PHOBIA!
An alphabet-pronoun butt-person does crime. IST! PHOBIA!
An illegal does crime. IST! PHOBIA!

Reason and logic are no avail; keep your statistics and facts dry for another day. Emotional rhetoric is designed to bypass those. Explaining how much care is being taken to not offend is just losing.

Mockery and memes are good; but to effect the cure only one thing works. Ignore the bleating and do the thing that needs doing. In this case, close the border, deport the illegals, send the violent to their home countries for punishment. Accelerate the process by stopping the free stuff and taking monies away from lefty states or cities that want to ‘bravely’ submit their people to illegals by handouts.

Don’t slow down at the hand-wringing, nor tie up the courts with 10 million trials full of tears and reporters salivating over sob stories.

Also there will be the hard part because the gangs are self-funding now and will not readily depart. They must be isolated by removing their environment (like Hamas and “palis”), cut off from supply (hi there China), pressured and sometimes, using our tech and intel to strike efficiently, eradicated. The left machine will defend them most vigorously — no crisis means no power for them.

They didn’t provide any evidence of a racist rhetoric. The Hispanics are playing the victim card. Boo hoo. Poor us. Don’t blame us because one of we killed a white girl. Don’t check our immigration status. Muslims do the same thing after every terrorist attack they commit.
