The far right need a talking point. This victim became their new culture war. |
Breona Taylor was killed by the American police. The #SayHerName hashtag was devoted to a EMS worker shot and killed by the Louisville Metro Police while sleeping.
A white woman jogging killed in a random act of violence. The suspect was from Venezuela and is accused of the murder. The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. He faces either LIFE or DEATH if convicted in Georgia.
The far right claims had he been deported, he wouldn't have committed this.
Now Republicans want to interrupt the president as he delivers The State of the Union address with this woman being the newest theme.
The murder of Laken Riley occurred on February 22, 2024, in Athens, Georgia. Laken Riley, a 22-year-old nursing student at Augusta University, disappeared when she was jogging at the University of Georgia (UGA). Her body was found near a lake of a wooded area at UGA; her death was caused by blunt force trauma. The police described Riley's killing as a "crime of opportunity", and that no murder had been committed at UGA in almost 30 years.
Jose Antonio Ibarra (born 1997–98) is a 26-year-old Venezuelan citizen from Aragua, who had entered the United States in 2022 illegally. According to Jeffrey Clark, the chief of UGA police, Ibarra lived in an apartment complex about one mile from the wooded area where Riley's body was found.
Authorities had detained several people, but only Ibarra was arrested. Riley's murder is believed to have been a "solo act" by Ibarra. The charges against Ibarra are felony murder, false imprisonment, kidnapping, hindering a 911 call, and concealing the death of another.
The far right does this every fuckin time.
According to the far right: White shooters [murderers] are mentally ill. Black shooters [murderers] are unrepentant criminals. Gay shooters [murderers] are active groomers. Muslim shooters [murderers] are terrorists. Hispanic and Asian [murderers] shooters are illegal immigrants. Almost all mass shooters [murders] are registered Democrats because they have liked one thing common to the left.
The Republicans usually amplify white victims. Anytime a person of color kills a white victim, it is often wall-to-wall coverage on Fox, X and Newsmax. They force it into national news. They make the case to blame immigrants, Joe Biden, Black Lives Matter, Barack Obama, Kamala Harris, Democrats, Rev. Al Sharpton and rap music for an immigrant-involved killing or Black on whatever violence. Republican lawmakers who do not live in urban neighborhoods often troll social media to talk about the U.S.-Mexican border, gang violence, 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 murders a Black person, the suspect is given the benefit of doubt. White criminals are given glowing profiles about their perfect lives and how friends noticed something but refused to do something. When it comes to Black suspects, automatic guilt and vilification. They don't see mental illness. They see it as gang violence, allegedly fatherless homes, Democratic policies or the need for more firearms. The far right and Republicans exploit gun violence in the Black community for culture wars and racism.
Republicans solutions are more guns, blame others for America's social ills a
Republicans are now seizing on the death of a white woman. By those evil people of color, illegal immigrants and Muslims.
Republicans, conservative Democrats and Israel exploit tragedies for political gains.
They use dehumanizing rhetoric towards Black men, Black women, Hispanic men, Arab American men, Arab American women, Asian American men, Asian American women, indigenous women, Muslims, non binary Americans and transgender women.
The murder was highly publicized by the national media and the press. Her murder become a "national political case" by some American citizens and Trump, after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement confirmed that Ibarra is a Venezuelan illegal immigrant who is not a U.S. citizen and was caught crossing the border but released back into the United States.
Trump blamed Biden about Riley's murder. On his social media site, he posted: "Border INVASION is destroying our country and killing our citizens! The horrible murder of 22-year-old Laken Riley at the University of Georgia should have NEVER happened!"
