https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2016/06/23/an-alleged-sexual-assault-fuels-rumors-that-turn-an-idaho-town-against-muslim-refugees/

Washington post’s spin on this story:

Headline - ‘I’m looking at Drudge: “Syrian Refugees Rape Little Girl at Knifepoint in Idaho” – all false’

“To begin with, the chief said, the victim had not been raped but was believed to have been sexually assaulted.”

“The suspects were not from Syria, but from Sudan and Iraq.”

“Reports that a knife was used in the incident were also false”

____________________________________________________________

None of those details are central. The difference between a rape and a sexual assault is far less important than the fact that the assault happened. The specific country of origin for the attackers is also not key. Finally, when three people attack a five-year-old mentally-disabled girl, it’s not important whether they used a knife.

The headline may be technically true, but only in a trivial sense.

I guess the US attorney for Idaho won’t give a ### if his daughter is sexually molested instead of rape.

What a ####.

We need to take this country back fast and if Trump doesn’t win (God forbid), I’m ready to do whatever it takes, including moving to the south and learning to shoot.

Please note my #59. The Chobani yogurt factory is in Twin Falls, and the Muslim owner has been importing Muslim workers to run it. This is a big cash cow for the city, and I’m sure the state. There is a lot going on here. All of it corrupt, it would seem.
