Now, you tell me how many of these U.S. soliders are coming back warped in the head?
President Donald J. Trump will just eat his McDonald's, drink his Diet Coke, watch Fox or Newmax, post some dumb shit on Truth Social or X and the go to bed. Oh, he will do a campaign event or appear at a sporting event.
We are $39.6 trillion in debt. Trump in his first year of his second term has put over $3 trillion into the national debt.
While 34% of Americans approve of his job, the rest of us are angry. There are Americans who fear they might be homeless. They're Americans who are likely going to be potentially violent if they are angered by politics. Some are potentially desperate to steal or just willing to end it all when things get worse.
I get it.
We are living in chaotic times.
Y'all voted for this.
If you didn't and you keep telling folks, "we tried to warn you", understand that you're part of the problem too. You act like you are on some high moral ground when you're just as bad as they are.
MAGA is dead.
Trump is definitely in the second term curse.
President Donald J. Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Gov. Jeff Landry, Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA), Sen. John N. Kennedy (R-LA), U.S. House members and Shreveport mayor Tom Arceneaux were notified of this mass shooting.
The shooter killed eight children Sunday in a shooting that authorities described as a domestic violence incident and was later killed by police after he fled in a carjacked vehicle, officials said.
The suspect's wife and a woman believed to be his girlfriend were also shot and seriously injured in the violence, which occurred at two homes in the early morning, police said.
The children killed were 18 months to 12 years old, police said.
“I just don’t know what to say. My heart is just taken aback,” Shreveport Police Chief Wayne Smith told reporters. “I just cannot begin to imagine how such an event can occur.”
Police identified Shamar Elkins as the shooter and sole suspect. Seven of the eight children who were killed were his, police spokesperson Christopher Bordelon said.
Shreveport police officers responded to the 300 block of West 79th Street just after 6 a.m. following reports of a domestic disturbance, police said. Bordelon described the crime scene as “extensive.”
The gunman first shot a woman on nearby Harrison Street before he headed to a home on West 79th Street, where he killed all the children, police said.
The gunman fled and carjacked a person at gunpoint near the intersection of Linwood Avenue and West 79th Street, police said.
Officers shot and killed the suspect in neighboring Bossier Parish after a pursuit, police said. Police believe there are no other suspects, Bordelon said.
“Officers were forced to discharge their department-issued firearms, neutralizing the suspect,” police said in a statement.
Louisiana State Police are investigating the shooting of the suspect. Shreveport police said nothing suggests any wrongdoing by officers.
The gunman shot 10 victims in all. A teenager had non-life-threatening injuries from falling off a roof, police said.
One of the wounded women is Elkins' wife, who was shot in the face but was alive Sunday, and the other woman is believed to be his girlfriend, Bordelon said.
The shooter shot the children's mother and another woman.
Seven of the children who were killed were found in the home and the eighth was found dead on a back roof, Bordelon said.
He said investigators are still investigating why Elkins would have carried out the shootings.
“We know it’s domestic in nature, we know his wife is involved, and she is the mother of at least seven of the children, with the eighth being a family friend,” Bordelon said.
A small-caliber handgun was used in some of the violence, and Elkins had a "rifle-style pistol" when police confronted and killed him, Bordelon said.
It appears many of the children were shot in their sleep, Bordelon said. Most of them were shot in the head, he said.
"It is a disgusting and evil scene," Bordelon said.
Mack London, 71, who lives on the same block, said he didn’t hear the gunfire and that he only learned of the killings from a neighbor as he stepped outside around 7 a.m. to close his gate. By then, he said, the street was flooded with police and an ambulance, with the block shut down and onlookers gathering.
London, who has lived there since 1991, said such violence is unheard of in the neighborhood. “Nothing like this has ever happened on this street,” he said. “It was bad. ... I hate that it happened to those kids.”
Shreveport Mayor Tom Arceneaux said the community is in mourning.
“This is a tragic situation, maybe the worst tragic situation we’ve ever had in Shreveport,” he said at a news conference.
Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry said he is “heartbroken over this horrific situation” and grateful for local law enforcement and first responders. House Speaker Mike Johnson, who has represented Shreveport in Congress for almost 10 years, called the incident a “heartbreaking tragedy,” adding that his team is in touch with local police.
Elkins was a former member of the Louisiana Army National Guard who served from August 2013 to August 2020 as a signal support system specialist and a fire support specialist, but he never deployed and left a private, the Army said.
Elkins had a 2019 arrest and conviction of illegal use of a firearm, which likely prohibited him from legally owning firearms, Bordelon said.
Members of Shreveport’s City Council gathered near the scene Sunday afternoon to pray and ask the community to lift up the family affected.
The slain children “had their whole life ahead of them,” Council Chair Tabatha Taylor said through tears.
“This is the result when someone snaps,” Taylor said. “So I’m going to ask the community, along with prayer, with every mental health consultant that is out there — this family and this community needs you.”
Freddie and Marie Montgomery live across the street from where the children were killed, but they didn’t know the family well. They said the family had moved in about six months ago.
Around 6:30 a.m. Sunday, there was a commotion and Shreveport police were entering the home, they said.
“When they brought all those kids out of that house, that’s just the worst thing I ever seen,” Marie Montgomery said.
Saturday, Freddie Montgomery was visiting with another neighbor and returning home when he saw a man in the front yard and the children playing outside. He said he waved at the man and the man waved back like normal.
“When we found out what had actually happened over there, it was just, just a shock,” he said. “There is no sense in this.”
Are you getting tired of this?
The status quo politics of "can't do nothing" or "now is not the time."
On average there are two mass shootings a day now. It never stops.
Uh oh. Better see if the far right preparing to make this shooter a leftist.
I wonder if Charlie Kirk got something to say about it?
Nevermind.
Only in America, how many more mass shootings must we deal with before we finally curb gun violence?
The United States is the most violent country in the world. Israel and Russia follow behind respectfully. Israel, Russia and the United States are the most hated countries in the world.
The United States is downsizing in democracy.
What is wrong with white men, white women and white boys?
It's the guns stupid!
Things to keep in mind when the blame game comes, will the suspect be:
White
Black
Latino
Muslim
Arab
Non White National
Immigrant
A member of the LGBTQ community
A disgruntled employee
A former student
A current student
A gang member
A so called leftist
A person who has conservative views
A person with easy access to firearm
The person with easy access to firearms should be the only answer. Alas, the far right is hoping for this to be a person they can scapegoat as their next de jour of outrage. Anyone can get firearm in the United States. Even, people who are non U.S. citizens are allowed to obtain firearms.
The real issue is not just guns, it's white men, white women tears and white boys. They are losing their goddamn minds. Inspired by loneliness, politics, job loss, social media trends, endless perceptions of others, the lack of opportunities (besides joining the military) and the need to be ahead of everyone else is what drives these fools to commit endless chaos.
If the suspect is white, they will give the shooter a glaring profile. If the suspect is not white, expect the far right to claim its the left or accused a certain nationality, race, religion or sexuality the cause of mass shootings.
White privilege also santizes the white shooters. Already we are getting details of the mass shooters. Glaring profiles of these white mass shooters to paint them as unfortunate circumstances. Ignoring the fact, these terrorists had signs of potential danger but their families thought it was just noise.
That restraining order doesn't mean much to a deranged individual. It's a trigger!
I wish things could have turned out well! But unfortunately, a shooter never abides to a court order!
How can a piece of paper protect a victim when it's not reliant on stopping the perpetrator (from causing harm)?
The real issue is gun violence. Not comedians. Not activists. Not Black men. Not immigrants. Not Muslims. Not transgender Americans. Not video games. Not movies. Not rap music. Not the left.
A man made crisis that can be solved if these incompetent politicians and media agitators stop making excuses for the continued gun violence epidemic. Prayers are just words and speeches. Instead offering words, how about policies?
The United States is downsizing in democracy and freedom.
This is America.
I just want to say that the Second Amendment is White, period.
A bullet does not care about color. We all bleed red and so many lives are lost to gun violence. Republicans offer no solutions other than "thoughts and prayers", "send them back" with a touch of "lock em up."
Gun violence continues to be the number one threat in the United States.
I dismiss this ridiculous notion that criminals are the problem, not the guns. Firearms are often obtained through legal purchases.
Again, having more security, teachers being armed and offering safe rooms are not solving the problem. The problem is lawmakers not willing to stop gun violence.
According to the far right: White shooters are always mentally ill or lone wolves. The far right believes they should receive some sympathy for their crimes. Black shooters are unrepentant thugs and criminals who deserve lengthy time in the iron college or death. Gay and transgender shooters are active groomers who want to be pedophiles on children. Muslim shooters are terrorists who should be surveiled or deported. Hispanic and Asian shooters are illegal immigrants and they should be deported. According to the far right, almost all white [or non-white] mass shooters are registered Democrats [leftist or some progressive activist] because they have liked or done one thing common to the politics of the left. Of course, they often share or post disinformation by using the ridiculous "Sam Hyde" meme or make bogus social media platforms with the shooter's image as a way to denounce most mass shooters being white or associated with conservative causes. The far right says a white person should "protect" themselves from thugs, terrorists or protesters. They believe the use of firearms are "justified" if they are protesting or even instigating a conflict. The far right believes if a shooter is a police officer, an active military member, a veteran or a citizen who supports conservative causes, they are considered a "heroes" and use of firearms are justified. If the shooters are teens in urban communities, the far right automatically assume the gunmen are Black. Even if the evidence turns out that the shooter has alignment with conservative causes or Republicans, the far right dismisses it as a hoax or a plot to demonize the MAGA movement.
The Republicans usually amplify white victims. Anytime a person of color kills a white victim, it is often wall-to-wall coverage on Fox, Twitter and they force it into national news. They make the case to blame Black Lives Matter, Barack Obama, Kamala Harris, Democrats, Rev. Al Sharpton and rap music for Black on whatever violence. Republican lawmakers who do not live in urban neighborhoods often troll social media to talk about gun violence or crime in Chicago, Baltimore, Milwaukee and New York City while not doing a damn thing to stop it. If a white person shoots a Black person, the shooter is given the benefit of doubt. White shooters are given glowing profiles about their perfect lives and how friends noticed something but refused to do something. When it comes to Black shooters, automatic vilification. They don't see mental illness. They see it as gang violence, allegedly fatherless homes, Democratic policies or the need for more firearms.
Trump gave us open season.
WHITE PRIVILEGE IS REAL! IT'S "SUIT AND TIE" WHITE SUPREMACY ON TELEVISION, RADIO, THE INTERNET AND AMERICAN POLICY!
FOR EVERY BAD COP, THERE WILL BE A DEAD COP!
IF THE UNITED STATES CONTINUES TO AID ISRAEL, THE WORLD WILL BOYCOTT THE U.S. AND ABANDON THE DOLLAR!
I DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING ON THE INTERNET OR THE COP'S VERSION.
These murderers don't have mental illness. They are calculated and prepared. It happened to be a moment where they have the opportunity to take out lives.

There's no sickness in the head. Most mass shooters legally obtain their assault rifles without little background checks. They have likely no criminal history and they are willing to use the assault weapon in the only thing it's good for: Killing numerous lives.
Holding these lawmakers accountable is not just a pledge, but a promise. You need to learn who represents your community. Your local community member, your school board member, your mayor, your state representative, your state senator, your governor, your U.S. Representative, your U.S. Senator and the president need to be held accountable for their actions.
Iran isn't a threat. The U.S. citizen with a firearm is the threat.
People, please do not resort to the levels of those who profit off the anger. The anger of right wing Americans in the wake of white nationalist Charlie Kirk's death has sparked a censorship and harassment campaign.

Any current or future government shutdown will definitely rile up people. When you start fucking with the money, people start going crazy. Especially when their needs outmatch the noise of Congress and the junk food media.
If you care about the future and want to voice your frustration with your federal officials, let 2026 be the call to action.
The call center to the White House and Congress should still be the same.
The call number to the White House and U.S. Capitol is now going to be used. This is the official White House numbers 202-456-1111 and 202-456-1414. This is the Congress official phone number, 202-224-3121. Please be respectful to operators, staff members and elected leaders. Your calls are monitored by the U.S. Secret Service and U.S. Capitol Police.
Let them know that "thoughts and prayers," "hearts going to" and "good guys with guns" are no longer acceptable and you want legislation to curb gun violence. Let them know that we are tired of police officers using immunity when committing death of suspects in custody. You want no more qualified immunity for police officers who use deadly force when it's not justified. Let them know that deporting law abiding immigrants seeking refuge is inhumane. You want the U.S. to improve the immigration process. You want the U.S. lawmakers stop dehumanizing human beings. You want no more wars in the Middle East. You want the U.S. to prove to the world its a beacon of freedom. You want our American military and Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents out of our cities, the Middle East and every fucking international conflict in the world. You want legislation to focus on lowering the cost of rent, lowering the cost of food, lowering the cost of hospital visits, improving healthcare and building relationships with other nations. Let them know that you tired of being lectured about oppresive regimes overseas when the very people running our state and federal government are doing the same in real time. Let them know that you will not tolerate a government shutdown which affects federal services for Americans in need or in support of services. Let them know that pulling out of the UN Human Rights Organization, World Health Organization and Paris Climate Accords will put the U.S. in danger when catastrophic event happen. Let them know that you are tired of private equity firms getting away with destroying small businesses and long established companies. Let them know that you are tired of your taxpayer money going to foreign nations like Israel and Ukraine. You are tired of hearing about "Israel having a right to..." and the bogus claims of being anti-semitic or in support of terrorism because you support the freedom of Palestinians. You are tired of the propaganda being forced on your media platforms.
We have bigger issues at home and our tax dollars should solve the housing crisis, lowering food prices, fixing roads, bridges, helping reinvest in struggling urban and rural communities. We have hospitals closing, big box retailers leaving communities and television programs dying. There are bigger issues in the country than Israel. You want an immediate ceasefire, a weapons embargo, sanctions and accountability for war crimes done by Israel. You want no more domestic or foreign influence in American elections. You also want to make sure future presidents and lawmakers avoid influence from lobbyists and special interest groups.
THERE IS NO GOD!
GOD IS NOT FIXING THIS!
FUCK YOUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS!
LET ME BE CLEAR, PRAYERS DO NOT STOP FUCKING BULLETS!
THIS IS A MAN-MADE ISSUE! WHY IS IT SO HARD TO STOP A MAN-MADE ISSUE LIKE GUN VIOLENCE?
STOP SAYING YOU'RE PRAYING TO PEOPLE AFFECTED BY GUN VIOLENCE. IT IS FUCKING PLATITUDES. DO SOMETHING ABOUT FUCKING GUN VIOLENCE YOU WORTHLESS LAWMAKERS. PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP, THE CHOICE TO CONTINUE THE STATUS QUO WILL KEEP YOU AND OTHERS AT RISK OF VIOLENCE. MAKE A CHOICE TO STOP THE CHAOS AND ACT LIKE A FUCKING 79 YEAR OLD MAN. DO SOMETHING TO HELP THE COUNTRY.
The leading cause of death among children is gun violence. Not transgender Americans. Not video games. Not rap music. Not streamers. Not podcasters. Not woke.
We got to stop gaslighting. Nevermind, its a free country. They never will learn.
Until it affects their pocket, their family or their lives, it's always point and sneer.
A gunman kills eight children in Shreveport, Louisiana.
Okay, the United States is the most violent country on the freaking planet. The old saying don't get comfortable really, really means something.
Can't these assholes just place the blame on the shooter and the fucking lawmakers who made it easier for people gassed up to own firearms?
Okay I haven't covered every mass shooting in the U.S.
Since Jan. 1 to April 1, we have over 130 mass shootings. That is more than days on a fucking calendar.
Any city in bold is multiple incidents. Any city that is large text means bigger crisis.

Okay, cue the politicians.
President Donald J. Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Gov. Jeff Landry, Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA), Sen. John N. Kennedy (R-LA), U.S. House members and Shreveport mayor Tom Arceneaux were notified of this mass shooting.
A gunman in Louisiana killed eight children in domestic-related shootings at two different homes early Sunday, police in Shreveport said.
The victims ranged in age from one to about 14 years old, said Shreveport police spokesperson Chris Bordelon. A total of 10 were people shot.
The gunman later died after a chase with officers who fired at the suspect, Bordelon said. The suspect stole a car while leaving the scene of the shootings and was followed by police, according to Bordelon.
Police did not release the name of the suspect but did say he was an adult male.
Officials said they were still gathering details at the crime scenes south of downtown Shreveport — the two homes and a third location. Some of the children shot were related to the suspect, Bordelon said.
One of the most dangerous cities in the Deep South, Shreveport, Louisiana.
“This is an extensive scene unlike anything most of us have ever seen,” he said.
At a news conference outside the residence where one of the shootings occurred, officials appeared stunned, requesting patience and prayers from the community as they sorted through multiple crime scenes.
“I just don’t know what to say, my heart is just taken aback,” Shreveport Police Chief Wayne Smith said. “I cannot begin to imagine how such an event could occur.”
“This is a tragic situation — maybe the worst tragic situation we’ve ever had,” said Tom Arceneaux, mayor of the city in northwestern Louisiana with about 180,000 residents. “It’s a terrible morning.”
Louisiana State Police say their detectives have been asked by Shreveport police to investigate. In a statement, state police say no officers were harmed in the shooting that involved an officer after a police pursuit into Bossier City on Sunday morning.
State police are asking anyone with pictures, video or information to share it with state police detectives.
The status quo politics of "can't do nothing" or "now is not the time."
On average there are two mass shootings a day now. It never stops.
Uh oh. Better see if the far right preparing to make this shooter a leftist.

There's no sickness in the head. Most mass shooters legally obtain their assault rifles without little background checks. They have likely no criminal history and they are willing to use the assault weapon in the only thing it's good for: Killing numerous lives.
Holding these lawmakers accountable is not just a pledge, but a promise. You need to learn who represents your community. Your local community member, your school board member, your mayor, your state representative, your state senator, your governor, your U.S. Representative, your U.S. Senator and the president need to be held accountable for their actions.
Iran isn't a threat. The U.S. citizen with a firearm is the threat.
People, please do not resort to the levels of those who profit off the anger. The anger of right wing Americans in the wake of white nationalist Charlie Kirk's death has sparked a censorship and harassment campaign.

Any current or future government shutdown will definitely rile up people. When you start fucking with the money, people start going crazy. Especially when their needs outmatch the noise of Congress and the junk food media.
If you care about the future and want to voice your frustration with your federal officials, let 2026 be the call to action.
The call center to the White House and Congress should still be the same.
The call number to the White House and U.S. Capitol is now going to be used. This is the official White House numbers 202-456-1111 and 202-456-1414. This is the Congress official phone number, 202-224-3121. Please be respectful to operators, staff members and elected leaders. Your calls are monitored by the U.S. Secret Service and U.S. Capitol Police.
Let them know that "thoughts and prayers," "hearts going to" and "good guys with guns" are no longer acceptable and you want legislation to curb gun violence. Let them know that we are tired of police officers using immunity when committing death of suspects in custody. You want no more qualified immunity for police officers who use deadly force when it's not justified. Let them know that deporting law abiding immigrants seeking refuge is inhumane. You want the U.S. to improve the immigration process. You want the U.S. lawmakers stop dehumanizing human beings. You want no more wars in the Middle East. You want the U.S. to prove to the world its a beacon of freedom. You want our American military and Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents out of our cities, the Middle East and every fucking international conflict in the world. You want legislation to focus on lowering the cost of rent, lowering the cost of food, lowering the cost of hospital visits, improving healthcare and building relationships with other nations. Let them know that you tired of being lectured about oppresive regimes overseas when the very people running our state and federal government are doing the same in real time. Let them know that you will not tolerate a government shutdown which affects federal services for Americans in need or in support of services. Let them know that pulling out of the UN Human Rights Organization, World Health Organization and Paris Climate Accords will put the U.S. in danger when catastrophic event happen. Let them know that you are tired of private equity firms getting away with destroying small businesses and long established companies. Let them know that you are tired of your taxpayer money going to foreign nations like Israel and Ukraine. You are tired of hearing about "Israel having a right to..." and the bogus claims of being anti-semitic or in support of terrorism because you support the freedom of Palestinians. You are tired of the propaganda being forced on your media platforms.
We have bigger issues at home and our tax dollars should solve the housing crisis, lowering food prices, fixing roads, bridges, helping reinvest in struggling urban and rural communities. We have hospitals closing, big box retailers leaving communities and television programs dying. There are bigger issues in the country than Israel. You want an immediate ceasefire, a weapons embargo, sanctions and accountability for war crimes done by Israel. You want no more domestic or foreign influence in American elections. You also want to make sure future presidents and lawmakers avoid influence from lobbyists and special interest groups.
THERE IS NO GOD!
GOD IS NOT FIXING THIS!
FUCK YOUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS!
LET ME BE CLEAR, PRAYERS DO NOT STOP FUCKING BULLETS!
THIS IS A MAN-MADE ISSUE! WHY IS IT SO HARD TO STOP A MAN-MADE ISSUE LIKE GUN VIOLENCE?
STOP SAYING YOU'RE PRAYING TO PEOPLE AFFECTED BY GUN VIOLENCE. IT IS FUCKING PLATITUDES. DO SOMETHING ABOUT FUCKING GUN VIOLENCE YOU WORTHLESS LAWMAKERS. PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP, THE CHOICE TO CONTINUE THE STATUS QUO WILL KEEP YOU AND OTHERS AT RISK OF VIOLENCE. MAKE A CHOICE TO STOP THE CHAOS AND ACT LIKE A FUCKING 79 YEAR OLD MAN. DO SOMETHING TO HELP THE COUNTRY.
Black women are being killed under weird consequences. Black men are hanging from trees in the South and as far as Washington, DC.
They're calling it suicide.
I'm starting to call it bullshit.

Social media influencer Ashly Robinson was found dead in Zaniabar, Tanzania and her fiancé is under investigation. He's not allowed to leave the country.
Police in Zanzibar investigating the death of social media influencer Ashly Robinson said she killed herself following a "misunderstanding" with her fiancé while they were on vacation.
But her sister is questioning the circumstances around her death, saying Robinson was "happy" and looking forward to the future after recently having celebrated a birthday and her engagement.
"None of this makes sense," Alyssa Endres told NBC News. "That's why we're just so lost. And that's why we just want answers."
Robinson and her fiancé, Joseph McCann, traveled to Zanzibar on April 4, according to a translated video statement from Tanzanian police. They were staying at the Zuri Zanzibar hotel when staff members found her in her room and rushed her to the hospital on April 8.
Robinson died the next day, police said.
The junk food media wants answers. Her fiancé is clamming up.
Robinson, 31, who went by the name Ashlee Jenae on social media, documented part of the trip on Instagram. In an April 3 post, McCann is seen proposing to Robinson as a lion walks away during what appears to be a safari.
"Still taking this in… somewhere in Africa," Robinson captioned the video.
Other photos showed the couple posing for pictures with the animals. Her last post, on April 5, showed her feeding a giraffe while she celebrated her birthday.
"Chapter 31 and I’m exactly where i need to be," she wrote.
Local Zanzibar reporters are now starting to cover the story of Ashlee Jenae and Joe McCann. It has now been revealed that Ashlee Jenae was a stripper and escort at a high end gentleman’s club in Miami.

Ashlee Jenae’s Friend Speaks Out, Says She “Would Never Harm Herself,” Suggests Death Was Staged
As online conversations continue to swirl around Ashlee Jenae’s death, one of her close friends, Lexi Love, is speaking out and she’s not holding back.
🚨 New details are emerging in the mysterious death of influencer Ashlee Jenae.

While social media posts showed the couple seemingly enjoying their vacation, local police said they got into a dispute that led to their staying in separate rooms. It's not clear what led up to the dispute.
In a translated statement, police said staff members at the Zuri Zanzibar hotel informed them that Robinson and McCann "seemed to not have a good understanding" and that the pair were separated. Robinson remained in their room, and McCann was moved to a different room, police said.
A room service attendant later found Robinson in the room and alerted hotel management. She was taken to the hospital, where she died.
Police called the couple's dispute a "misunderstanding" and said Robinson died by suicide.
A safari ends up with one not returning home.
The hotel said it was "deeply saddened" by what happened.
"Our sincerest thoughts and sympathies go out to the family and loved ones during this painful time. We are providing our full cooperation to the local authorities and the U.S. Embassy," it said in a statement.
Endres said that she spoke to her sister shortly before she died and that "everything was completely normal." The pair discussed what they were going to do when Robinson got back to the U.S.
"She was so ready to take the next steps with who she thought was the love of her life," Endres said. "She was so happy with the choices that she had made and in the places that she was. She was happy."
Endres said the trip to Zanzibar was a planned "dream" vacation for her sister.
Robinson’s mother said the past several days have been overwhelming, and she declined to speak further.
In an statement Sunday on Instagram, the family said that "nothing about this loss feels real."
"The suddenness, the unanswered questions, and the distance from home have made this tragedy even more overwhelming for our family," the statement read.
Police said Robinson's death remains under investigation, and police continue to question McCann. His passport has been suspended, police said.
McCann could not be reached at phone numbers listed for him. Attempts to reach his family were unsuccessful.
Endres said that communication with local police has been sparse but that family will continue fighting to find out what happened.
"She wasn’t just an influencer; she wasn’t just someone online. She was a daughter, she was a sister and she was someone who is so, so loved because of the life that she brought," Endres said. "She was just such a large piece in so many people’s lives, and that’s what I want people to not forget."
