    Oh, is that how it happened? What a warped imagination you have. I don't think the facts are in dispute that a teenage girl was assaulted with an automobile because she looked Mexican. Next, I suppose, you'll be telling us the girl was a crisis actor.

    I am sorry but you are using the Marshall project for your info, which is bs. Violent crimes are not falling at all. By the way, rape is a violent crime

    I never said that it didn’t rise and fall, but the decrease coincided with stiffer immigration laws enforced as well as border patrol and deportation.

    It has nothing to do with America becoming safer. It is still a lot higher than it was in the 60s

    In 2018, 64 percent of all federal arrests were non citizens. In 1988 , 37 percent of all federal arrests were non citizens. This is a 234 percent increase.

    I do not have a warped imagination, not in the least. Photojournalists pose photos all the time. This is well known fact.

    That photo was definitely posed. It is more common that you think. I have seen it done myself, by photographers many times,

    I'm using the FBI's UCR and the Justice Department's NCVS. They show that violent crimes fell dramatically after the early 90s--with the exception of rape. You should read your own posts, which said the same thing. What sources are you using?

    Who cares? Are you suggesting the kid wasn't injured, and is feeling just fine? Do you think that you can infer from your own personal experience that all photos are posed?

    Yes, look at the photo, it is blatantly staged, pillow propped, wear crisp white, crisp white pillow. let’s have your hair curl down over one shoulder put the other side behind....etc. Photographs that are staged as this one, makes one wonder about the validity of the entire thing.

    I don’t that it happened, but. It’s the stage d photo and I wonder if the black eye is make up. Does the photo need to staged in order to validate what happened and gain sympathy? It makes a mockery of it all.

    As I said above.

    The incarceration rate has risen steadily and pretty drastically since 1980 so these numbers for immigrants seem to follow a general trend. How did the prison population change for american citizens during the same time? Your argument would only make sense if incarceration rose at a much slower rate for natural born american citizens.

    And as we all know, there were some tough crime bills passed during the 80s and 90s that affected non violent drug offenders and disproportionately affected minorities moreso than whites, which also must be taken into consideration here

    While the Holiday season generally brings out the best in people, it can also bring out the worst, as was the case in Boston where a mother of 2 tossed her children ages 4, and 14 months off the roof of a parking garage, then killed herself in a double-murder, suicide.
     
  14. Why do some people get so depressed and even, very angry during the holiday season?

    Ok I was tired last night. These arrests are not about illegally in a country.

    More details here.

    You're free to create any definition that suits you, but having a credible source is even better. A perception that someone wears a size-10 shoe is a perception of outward appearance; however, attacking someone for that reason still wouldn't be an expression of racism, except by your definition. It's a luxurious privilege you enjoy to believe that race is fiction, but to simultaneously believe racism to be omnipresent.

    ABC News is profiting by selling the story under a headline of a racist attack, when they know or should know the story is about an attack based on perceived national origin, not race. I understand ABC's profit motive, but how do you profit from it?

    This chart I find a really good example of why border patrol is important. It isn’t perfect and people with criminal backgrounds slip through, who can pose a danger to the people living there.

    I also think people illegally in a country are exploited, which is sad.

    A little bit. Just posed pictures like that simply do not ring true for me. It is staged. I would rather see a picture that shows who she is. A class photo, a picture of her, showing her innocence, how she is a happy girl, or was and this is who this woman hurt. And/or A raw photo of her and the injuries she sustained to her face.

    That picture is designed to gain sympathy, which for me it does not. Shows me a made up image of her. I do not like that kind of photography when it comes to news. It isn’t real, when news is suppose to be. I do believe that photo journalists have a responsibility to show the real story, not some posed or staged photo.

    No one can understand filicide, perhaps she was suffering from postpartum depression I don’t know, but the Massachusetts case is similar in some respects to the case in Pennsylvania earlier this year when a mother claimed her 8-year old son, and her 4-year old daughter deliberately hung themselves in the family basement. She was later charged with their murder.

    I profit from helping to promote a world in which people are clear and honest about what they're saying. We all profit from such a world. I think your hyper-narrow use of "racism" is a form of denial. Whether somebody runs over a kid because of an actual racial genotype or because of perceived physical characteristics associated with an ethnic group is irrelevant. Hate is hate. Hate of people in an ascribed category is the functional equivalent of racism. She also deliberately assaulted a black kid in her car. Is that not racism either? Own it.
