And here’s something else that bothers me about the Right politicizing Mollie’s death.
We would not give her a second thought if an average American killed her. Or even a teen.
But because an illegal killed her? Well, we get on our high horse and holler real loud. Despite the fact she leaned left.
I think of Rachel Corrie. She too was a dumb kid. But did she deserve to die?
Many many FReepers would say yes. Yes, she deserved to die. And so we laugh at her. Make pancake jokes and so on.
Both Mollie and Rachel died a senseless and tragic death. But it seems to be to our political advantage to laugh at Rachel and mourn Mollie.
Just my $0.02.
