Another glimpse of mass media stupidity

This screenshot is from a yahoo article titled UGA students describe anguish and anxiety over safety concerns after the grisly killing of a sorority member on campus, taken as I was clicking through for a search.* (I was about to get on yahoo's case, but they took the article from CNN.)

The reader may have heard about the young White female Augusta, Georgia Nursing student, Laken Riley, who was murdered last week on campus of the U. of Georgia by a Venezuelan illegal alien. A few details:
[Jose Antonio] Ibarra is accused of preventing Riley from calling 911 and “seriously disfiguring her body,” particularly her skull, during the attack, according to arrest affidavits. Medical examiners determined she died from blunt force trauma.
They don't say she was raped, but I gotta guess she was - her parents would rather not have details like that come out, I'm sure.

CNN spells out the horror of it, and even uses the term "illegal alien" (only because this story is big, and the word is already out). However, we are to remember, " there is little evidence indicating a connection between immigration and crime." Besides the trail of blood and all, no, there's no evidence, no connection at all.

No, you see, it's the campus trails that are the problem. Fix the trails, and we're good.


PS: As tragic as it is - and this is one of many that just happened to have gone viral - I am glad that people are speaking of the "invasion" and putting the blame for these horrific acts where it belongs. There are audiences at press conferences - in Athens, of the Mayor - who have had ENOUGH and are speaking out. See “You’re a Liar…You Have Blood on Your Hands!” – Athens, Georgia Residents Rip Apart Woke Mayor After He Lies About Role in Illegal Alien Murderer of Beloved College Student.


* For "Peak Stupidity", that is. I like to keep pounding on this one search on 5 search sites, to keep it at the top.

PS: Good morning, Mr. Moderator,

https://fsymbols.com/text-art/

is the web site I use for doing the 𝑖𝑡𝑎𝑙𝑖𝑐𝑖𝑧𝑖𝑛𝑔, 𝐛𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝒊𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒄𝒊𝒛𝒆𝒅 𝒃𝒐𝒍𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈, and other stuff. There are others like it. Essentially the 𝐛𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 and 𝑖𝑡𝑎𝑙𝑖𝑐𝑖𝑧𝑖𝑛𝑔 are just alternate character sets. A little trial and error are necessary to see which characters work best as some of them look a little goofy.

Also, some of these might not display properly in different browsers and on different operating systems. I'm just going by what it looks like on my computer. Not sure if these display properly on everyone's computer.(?)

PS: "Migrants are Angel-Saviours of our civilization..." I think even the mayors of New York and Chicago aren't saying that anymore.

Oh, yeah, in this article this violence in places like Georgia* is blamed on the Gov/A/G of Texas, haha. Oh, it'd all be fine if they would just murder and rape people down in Texas.

For Old Soldier - I was slightly mistaken. That story about the Aztec woman illegal who'd taken out people's hearts was from a post by Former Agent on VDare:

* ...which has had a fairly large number of illegals - in the Atlanta area anyway - for many years.

PS: I'd heard that before about Adolph Hitler's illegality. Had the judge ruled per the law, maybe he would have taken Austria first and then annexed Germany? ;-}

About the point here, I don't agree that the numbers prove the article correct in wording. Think about simple absolute numbers. Were these illegals - any number - go back to 1974 - not here now, there would be fewer murders. At least SOME of them kill peopl,e.

Oh, yeah, I know, with that assumption (that depends greatly on whether you're talking Indians, Chinese, or Salvadorans) that I'm not so sure of - read differently (at least for ILLEGAL immigration) on VDare - the overall murder rate could be lower. However, would not the murder rate be at least the same, maybe higher, of the previously existing population?

There's more than that though. Even with their propensity to violence greater than that of average White people, the Hispanics of the '70's and '80s mostly out of Mexico were one thing. These last 8-10 million are often the dregs of the countries they come from. It's a 2-order-of-magnitude larger Cuban Mariel Boat Lift.* We're gonna see some big numbers of murder, rape, and other violence. Will that increase the RATES of these crimes in America? I think yes. Even it it doesn't, so what? There will be more murders, rapes, etc. As with the poor late Miss Riley in Georgia, they would not be murdered, raped, etc., were the borders strictly controlled. She is dead because of Biden and Mayorkas. Were I her Dad ... I'll leave it at that...


* President Jimmy Carter refused to repatriate the 125,000 Cuban criminals that Fidel Castro let out of jail to sail to Florida in 1980.

PS: Dieter, that your words were cut off is perplexing, unless you had characters resembling HTML tags. The "system", as it were, is actually nothing but a line of code that strips out those tags, maybe taking out the rest of the line as it does so. (I haven't looked at it in years - I mean like 7 years!!)

It sure doesn't care WHAT you write though. This is simple and doesn't rely on any 3rd party anything. Of course, it's not so great, without links - Adam has shown us how to italicize, do bolding, and other stuff.

Also, one can write quite a bit in one comment - I will check the character limit in this "comment" field. Probably I should lower it somewhat for anti-SPAM reasons, but I haven't had that also in years - ~6 years.

PS: Nice comment, OS. I will add that when you see these stories, not only have these men (not always men, though, per recent story of some Aztec woman who cut people's hearts out from GP - can't find it just now) been "on the FBI's radar" and all you say, many have been deported multiple times before.

A serious border barrier, "wall" if you will, is not the only thing required to stop this invasion, but it's a necessary component. People who get deported, STAY deported.

PS

the system didn't like my Hitler-appendix - I try again:

Btw. - we are also in Adolf Hitler territory. Hitler was - at times - an illegal alien. A social democratic judge in the Munich of the Weimar Republic decided though that: Yes Hitler would be an .i.l.l.e.g.a.l. immigrant, but no: The court would not stand in the way of Hitler - becoming a German citizen (the judge could have - he even should have - - send him back to Austria, because so said the law.

The humanist idealist romantic anarchist christian (he was all of theat a bit - ) leftist judge decided to ignore the law - as is right so often - but just not always.

A Wide Field - right?

PS
The thing is, that - as Dr. Pinker tirelessly points out, serious crime is in decline.
The argument is therefor factually right: These are individual cases and they don't change much the overall trend of sharply declining murder rates in any statistically meaningful way.

So this is the cool number-guys' perspective. - But this is not the whole story. The whole story is that such cases feel scary/not right even though we know that they don't matter much statistically. They alert us to be cautious: they evocate phantasies and fears that are usually hidden because we have to go on in our daily lives, - no matter what the TV brings up about some far away college campus.

We are here in Cormac McCarthy/ Michel Houellebecq/Jean Raspail/ Camp of the Saints, in Thilo Sarrazin/ Charles Murray/ Steve Sailer V-Dare/ Jared Taylor territory.
- No Country for Old Men - such dark matters, Old Soldier.

But alas - these are, as Theodore Fontane famously wrote - -
wide fields.-

PS
Media's reporting on heinous crimes by illegals has been typically abysmal. People we once called "journalists" are now used to mouthing nothing but platitudes and "narratives," especially narratives that hide the identity/origin of their favorite minorities or illegals. Their "no information" articles usually note that "he was on FBI's radar" or "he was known to law enforcement", with little information of worth as they laboriously protect the killer. These so called 'journalists' have long forgotten how to report facts on important stories. "Journalists" struggle to blame everything and everyone except the killer - it's 'gun violence' or 'institutional racism' or whatever - in the case of the UGA killer, 'it's the campus trails that are the problem. Fix the trails, and we're good.' Predictably, corrupt mainstream media protect the killers and we know why. You can't get the "news" from news organizations any more. Imagine that. And the gatekeepers roll out their carefully coordinated narratives every morning, as seen on the alphabet soup media outlets who direct the narrative as their gatekeeper demands. Media outlets long ago stopped reporting real news and are all now in the business of managing narratives.
