Horror and Hush-Up in Twin Falls, Idaho
Townhall.com ^ | June 22, 2016 | Michelle Malkin

Posted on 06/22/2016 4:39:01 AM PDT by Kaslin

Something wicked happened in Idaho's rural Magic Valley. The evil has been compounded by politicians, media and special interest groups doing their damnedest to suppress the story and quell a righteous citizen rebellion.

On June 7, a brief news item appeared on local Twin Falls, Idaho-based KMVT about a "reported sexual assault that possibly occurred near the Fawnbrook Apartments" five days earlier. Unconfirmed accounts of the alleged crime on conservative-leaning websites, plus reports from area members of anti-jihad activist Brigitte Gabriel's Act for America group and longtime watchdog Ann Corcoran's Refugee Resettlement Watch blog, culminated in coverage on the powerhouse Drudge Report.

The social media groundswell, untethered from the constraints of political correctness, forced government authorities to respond.

Police and the local prosecutor's office grudgingly confirmed that an investigation had begun into the incident. The victim: A mentally disabled 5-year-old girl. The alleged perpetrators: Three boys, ages 7, 10 and 14, from Sudanese and Iraqi immigrant families (predominantly Muslim) who have been in the country for less than two years -- all but confirming that they are refugees.

What happened? The case is under seal because it involves minors, but prosecutor Grant Loebs said there is videotape of the alleged sexual assault (a fact which local activists first divulged). Two of the boys are in custody. It's not clear what happened to the third.

Here's the sickening thing: The people who should have been asking tough questions -- like, you know, mainstream journalists -- have spent more time attacking local whistleblowers and bloggers than they have spent demanding answers and holding public officials accountable.

Why? Consider the backdrop. Residents in Twin Falls have been worried about the impact of an increasing influx of refugees, many from jihad-coddling countries, over the past several years. Their concerns about crime, welfare, health care, and schools echo those of communities across the country who are bearing the coercive brunt of Beltway bleeding hearts' refugee resettlement policies enacted in a shroud of secrecy.

Members of the Twin Falls City Council smugly likened refugee resettlement critics to "white supremacists." Regional newspapers including the Idaho Statesman and the Spokane Spokesman-Review rushed to discredit the on-scene reporting of internet writers such as Leo Hohmann, who had interviewed a witness to the crime for World Net Daily.

"Jolene Payne, an 89-year-old retired nurse who lives at the complex" told Hohmann that she spotted one of the boys "taking pictures with a camera" outside the apartment complex's laundry room. She went inside and found the 5-year-old naked with two of the younger boys naked standing over her. "The worst thing was the way they peed all over her clothes," she recounted.

Pro-mass immigration advocates may not like the sources of some of the original reporting that forced the case into the sunlight, but the watchdogs got more right than wrong. These critics now have Twin Falls' political leaders sputtering to cover their backsides and police brass defending themselves against explosive charges that they dragged their feet.

Instead, the "professional journalists" dwelt on a few early factual errors about whether the boys were from Syria and whether a knife was used -- and filled their dismissive articles with "can't we all just get along" propaganda from refugee resettlement advocates and contractors with vested financial interests in the game.

The callousness of local officials and indifference of local and national media reminds me very much of an international incident that went viral on YouTube earlier this year in the eastern German town of Bad Schlema -- located in a region overrun by Muslim refugees.

A concerned grandfather whose granddaughter under the age of 10 was sexually harassed by Muslim migrants protested to mayor Jens Muller. In response to his plea for help, Muller told the elderly man to direct his family to "not walk in areas" where refugees would be.

"Just don't provoke them and don't walk in those areas."

The grandfather lamented at the public meeting: "You're not allowed to walk in your own city anymore."

To which the jaded mayor replied: "This is the way it is."

Thank goodness there are Americans still fighting against the collective shrug of sovereignty surrender. Louder, please.

They’ve got to isolate, spotlight and ridicule the mayor, police chief and Chobani.

Time to nationally call out Chobani.

Yes. Has not this story been “debunked”? Of course may also be another cover-up as well.

I grew up in the Big Sky State and cannot believe this is happening there.

How near to our own homes must these acts have to occur before we react to end the Muslim invasion?

In olden times; the invaders rode INSIDE the Trogan horse.

Nowadays they ride the thing and holler, "YIPPEE!!"

The sad truth that we all must face is that the majority of our representatives in Congress no longer represent the best interests of the American people. Like the Senate in ancient Rome, their loyalty and votes have been purchased by foreign interests or lobbyists for foreign interests. They care only about getting re-elected, achieved through donations by those foreign interests, so as to not lose their seat on their gravy-train of perks. Do not confuse their lack of opposing immigration, especially Muslim immigration, with a lack of common sense, naivete, or simply a wish to be progressive. No one can be that dumb. They have simply been bought off. Trump is the only politician in the last 25 years with the courage and fortitude to state the obvious about Muslim immigration, and immigration in general, and he is harshly condemned by both sides for having the fortitude to say it.

They should also be introduced to the pleasures of bungee jumping of the same bridge. Aw shucks. We’re all out of bungee cords. Gotta use rope instead.

I do not think it has been debunked at all. I think the initial story was found in error that the boys were Syrian and used a knife- as I understand it they are Muslim but not from Syria. One is from Iraq I believe and the other 2 from Sudan. The errors in the initial story are being used to try to debunk the story but the incident did happen. Two Muslim boys did molest a 5 year old girl while another Muslim boy took pictures. The boys have been in the U.S. only a couple of years so it is believed they are refugees.

It is not an accident that they are bringing so many muslims into the inter-mountain west. They creating the conditions that will spark violence that they can use as a justification for disarming the American people. They are counting on the rubs of “Redneckistan” to be the patsies in their puppet theater.

Interesting. Yesterday there was doubts about this story, even so far as Snopes calling it mostly false. What wicked webs have been weaved. Idaho is the most conservative state in the union and officials here are even this liberal?

Yeah, it's ridiculous to see them splitting hairs that supposedly "debunk" the whole story.

SEE? It WASN'T "Syrians".

I'm sure that comes as great relief to the 5 year old who was urinated on.

It doesn't MATTER that they weren't "Syrians".

The fact is these are people who shouldn't be in this country in the first place.

Nothing racist about that.

This should NEVER happen in the USA.

Absolutely they should not have been here. The issues with illegals and refugees are ruining this country, and I am tired of the media and politicians acting like anyone that is not all for it is racist. Anyone that is for it is crazy!!

You’ll have to prove your allegation...

Idaho is the most conservative state in the union

It is absolutely true. Faith Goldy, a reporter from a Canadian conservative media outlet, The Rebel, interviewed the senior lady who discovered the boys with the girl:

OK, well, maybe it WAS, based on the gap between Democratic and Republican votes for POTUS last election. I stand corrected though. Still arguably the 3rd more conservative, and still a real outlier.
