“I want to say, in the strongest terms possible, that there is no place in our community (or any other) for this type of hatred and violence,” the police chief said.

So please, fellow Iowans, go back to using more acceptable types of hatred and violence against dark-skinned people. Thank you, police chief.

Those who are the most useless of the white race are the most invested in white supremacy, because their whiteness is literally the only thing they have going for them. This fine lady is an excellent example.

It’s not that America hasn’t always had racists like this lady, it’s that Trump has emboldened them to act out.

​What the fuck is wrong with US-Americans?
Over 30%, all of them deplorable and despicable, disgusting and dangerous, still think that the narcissistic pathological liar, the so-called president, is worthy of the office.

“Funny - you don’t look Mexican.”

“I’m not.”

“Where’d you get that last name?”

“From my father.”

“Oh - but he’s Mexican?”

“No - his parents are from the North of Spain.”

“Same thing then…”

An actual job interview I had back in 1974 here in Texas. Nice to know the more things change, the more they stay the same.

Easier put: White supremacists are always perfect counterexamples to the notion of white supremacy.

Jeeze, you’d think in Texas, they’d know. So perhaps they think they share a border with Basque Country and Catalonia.

Hopefully, she’ll spend the rest of her worthless life in a very small box.

Well then, we need to invest in whatever the most useless of other races are investing in. Get a better return.

While we certainly can’t make a diagnosis from a photo, it, along with her actions and statements suggests she isn’t well. Even most hardened racists wouldn’t drive onto a sidewalk to hunt down a child. It’s precisely these sort of people perched on the edge of sanity that Trump pushes over into committing terrorist acts. He knows this and doesn’t care.

Probably not. American law is weird that way, in that the victim staying alive reduces the sentence for the deadly act. But I could still see her getting 10 years, 20 if they make it a federal hate crime and find evidence of planning and intent.
