Me, neither. Nor the father.
Hey.... at least she could still be on her parents insurance....
Wow. Holy cow is right.
Nothing to see here folks, just a normal Midwest White girl who got a little tipsy first thing in the morning and slaughtered a bunch of people...
"M.I.A.'s commentary on the oppression of Tamils, Palestinians and African Americans has drawn praise and criticism.[213] The United States has restricted her access into and out of the country during her career since the release of her debut album.[214] M.I.A. notes that the voicelessness she felt as a child dictated her role as a refugee advocate and voice lender to civilians in war during her career."

"Consequently, she has been accused of being a "terrorist sympathiser" and "LTTE supporter" by the Sri Lankan government,[2][228] even by public figures such as Oprah Winfrey, as was stated in a Rolling Stone magazine article, where the singer recalled their exchange: "She shut me down. She took that photo of me, but she was just like, ‘I can’t talk to you because you’re crazy and you’re a terrorist. And I’m like, ‘I’m not. I’m a Tamil and there are people dying in my country and you have to like look at it because you’re f—ing Oprah and every American told me you’re going to save the world."[229]"

"Like Kanye, the dissemination of Maya’s ideas unfairly suffers because she doesn’t speak with the slickness of an advertisement. But her disavowals of American imperialism are subsumed by her aesthetic. She is a visual artist turned dance musician, writing nursery rhymes for post-colonial angst. Racialized along post 9/11 orientalism, her music videos are sufficient manifesto. Those who can’t parse the iconography of diaspora assume the experience doesn’t exist. For the rest of us, M.I.A provides its soundtrack."

Yeah, I heard a Mia song long ago where she gave a nod to the PLO. I assume it’s the same singer girl, whose father is a Tamil Tiger, that is being referenced here.
A fourth victim, a two-year old, has died.
Eight still critical, nine others in serious condition, and 17 with less serious injuries. Several of them are children.
