The 'scandal' of Perla Morales-Luna's arrest is fake news......
WashingtonExaminer ^ | Mar 9, 2018 | Tom Rogan

Posted on 03/10/2018 10:28:29 AM PST by caww

Perla Morales-Luna was identified as an organizer for a transnational criminal smuggling organization operating in East County, San Diego. She was arrested as a result of a targeted operation on March 3, 2018, in National City for being in the country illegally. 10:18 PM - Mar 8, 2018

Here's a primer:...... Transnational criminal smuggling organizations are conduits for the movement of narcotics, illicit goods, criminals, and illegal immigration. When you hear the term "coyote," this is what it's referring to.

while Morales-Luna is innocent until proven guilty, the fact that she is accused of criminal culpability in this regard should lead the media to judge her arrest with a little less reflexive emotion.

Unfortunately, that's not happening. Time magazine's headline decries a "mother being torn from daughters." In capitals, Bustle says that the "Video Of Perla Morales-Luna Being Dragged From Her Kids By Border Patrol Is Hard To Watch." The Daily Mail draws its readers' attention to a "heartbreaking video." BuzzFeed paints the picture of a kidnapping, stating that "moments later the van takes off and a man approaches the girls asking if they're alone and if there's any family they can call."

Not “hard to watch” at all

Perla Morales-Luna's resisting arrest days after she refused to give herself up... Her teacher was standing with her grown daughters and one or the other standing there were videoing this display for the news cycle.

It's the nature of illegals to create chaos on arrest in many cases in order to get public sympathy, much like the Palestinians do when they carry around death gurnies with live people faking they're dead.

Wasn’t hard for me to watch either....though the drama was put on for the video being filmed no doubt.....she knew this was coming having refused to give herself up as was asked.

Plus I tend to think her teenage daughters knew very well what their moms been doing.

I no longer buy into these displays by anyone.....black, Hispanic, white or whatever....you resist at your own risk.

The whole thing is very scandalous - she is merely going to be deported ans will not be charged with smuggling related crimes.

Don’t know......it’s one of those chain operations of smuggling people, drugs etc. into the county. They arrested several others in this ‘targeted mission”.... But you can bet the whole family ‘knows what’s been happening.

They come here with the mindset it’s ok like it is in mexico when you break the law. Doesn’t count until you get caught and then here you can hide behind the Democrats and medias skirt to protect you.

She hasn’t gone before the judge yet....or at least it’s not been reported that I’ve seen.

However she will be biting her own nose off despite her face for videoing this to get to the news cycle......now people will want to see this go though the courts and track it.

Things are changing for the better for our side.

A friend who lives on the other side of town has had this major rebuilding of a large home with a lot of landscaping going on for months at the end of the cul de sac where his home is.

He had seen the same old super large Ford primer gray pickup with four doors and two bench seats loaded with guys and hand tools going to the site at about 8 am and leaving either after noon or at about 5 pm.

He was on the other side of town buying stuff from a franchise hardware store, when he saw the same pickup show up at about 12:30 pm and drop off guys and pickup guys in a parking lot across the street.

The next morning at about 7 am, he was at the same parking lot watching. The primer gray pickup showed up, picked up 5 guys who put their tools in the truck bed. He called his wife on a cell phone, and a few minutes she got back to him that the primer gray pickup had dropped off 5 guys and left.

About 10 minutes later it showed up again and picked up 5 more guys and headed to another major work area. He followed it and the driver got an envelope from the contractor and dropped off the 5 amigos.

He phoned his tip into ICE, and they did not seen it last week.

I discussed this with our basic contractor. He said the truck driver got money from the contractor and the amigos at the end of their work. He said it works like Uber. Contractors call the driver when they need workers and when their half or whole day is over.

24/7 hopefully someday the advertisers will wake up wonder if their $’s are buying fake head counts or what ever basing their Ad rates.

Newsweak may be in trouble for faking their ad readers/hits like they fake their news.

She hasn’t gone before the judge yet

The only judge she will see is an Immigration Judge. The US Attorney in San Diego is not charging her.

I have seen this feigned reaction by a suspect a hundred times. Show hysteria, cause uproar. Yell at the officer that they are hurting you or breaking something or attacking you defenseless kids. People often fall for it. When you are restraining or cuffing you know if the person is over reacting, unless they have broken bones you are unaware of.

But try to prove it. Very difficult. She will go to mexico with money in her pocket.

....”I have seen this feigned reaction by a suspect a hundred times. Show hysteria, cause uproar. Yell at the officer that they are hurting you or breaking something or attacking you defenseless kids.”......

I understand this is quite the norm....still I hate the idea our police officers have to deal with it. Their lives are in danger enough as it is.

If she only gets deported I hope they’ll get information at the very least of who else is involved and she spills the beans.

I searched for her name and a video by time.com came up. The text in the video said charges would not be pursued - not conclusive but all I saw so far.

I personally don't think the media is going to change....because it's no longer news, it's a propaganda machine bought and paid for. At worst it will simply change it's address.

We’ll just have to wait and see....I tend to think this will not be followed, after all it wouldn’t support the news propaganda going on now.

Liberals seem to destroy anything they are in control of.

So their tv channels, fake news channels and fake newspapers will never change.

In today’s world and with President Trump running things, their demise will be quicker and shorter in time.

They will be terrible and more outrageous as they commit financial suicide, until their creditors close their doors.
