Some media reports say that one girl is Swedish.

Supposedly, one of the women shared a pro-Islam / anti-Islamaphobia video on social media. So, I don't see why Islamic extremists would target her for death.

I’m asking because I just read that people posted the decapitation on her mother’s Facebook

That is some gruesome trolling if true

Yeah, if it's not set to private.

People kept flooding the Lil Pump fan club with what seemed to be links to child porn. Facebook doesn't do much **** about it either.

Ok. Now I get it (I had to watch the SVT clip). On Christmas Eve, Swedish news reported on the evening news about the killing (and no, they are still Danish and Norwegian) of these women. Then they brought up a law that was instituted last year called "olaga integritetsintrång"(essentially you cannot spread pictures/film showing people in situations where their integrity can be diminished for example revenge porn or as a victim of a horrible crime). Instead of focusing on the crime itself, they focused on the video of the crime and how spreading of it can be considered a breach of this law which carries a four year maximum sentence. The news should not have downplayed the crime but I think the spreading of the video was in focus because the same thing happened when people spread pictures of the truck victims after people were run over here on Drottninggatan by a crazy refugee who was denied residency.

But it was Christmas Eve, most watching were families, and the law is a relatively new one. Hence the focus was on the law.

I think it isn't about Islam or the integrity of the religon that they are talking about. It is for the protection of these girls integrities and their families. It was horrible what happened to them but it is also wrong to spread these films as there are a few who take joy in watching others cause pain. That is why this law was instituted. It is a good law I think.

The clip is on mainstream media. It just isn't the focus of American media at the moment.

So, your news is correct but it has been twisted.

a basic overview of events;

A week ago Sunday, 7 year old Jazmine Barnes was killed when a drive-by gunman opened fire on the vehicle her family was traveling in. Jazmine was fatally shot in the head, her mother was struck in the arm and sister injured by broken glass.

The family identified the gunman as a thin white male in his 30s to 40s to police, assembling a composite sketch which was distributed by police to identify the suspect. They were very specific on details such as 'bright blue eyes' from having made direct eye contact with him prior to the shooting.

The mother LaPorsha Washington and father Chris Cevilla were interviewed by the media and appeared at 'Justice for Jazmine' rallies this past week where they said it was a hate crime. They took on the services of black civil rights attorney Lee Merritt, known for taking high profile cases like this, and the media widely reported the shooting as a racially motivated hate crime. Merritt publicly connected the shooting to a previous unsolved incident and said this could be the work of a serial white supremacist gunman.

The parents set up a GoFundMe and accepted $76k+ in donations from the public, as well as large donations from Shaq, a top TX cop and the $29k playoff game payslip from Deandre Hopskins. White male black civil rights activist Shaun King offered a $100k reward for the identification of the shooter on twitter. The story was widely commented on by many other celebrities and activists.

Two suspects were identified and arrested today after turning themselves in after a tip led them to the suspects who were detained without incident, admitted to the shooting and were charged with capital murder. They were identified as 20 year old black male Eric Black Jr and 24 year old black male Larry Woodruffe, the latter named as the gunman, the former presumably the driver. The motive has been identified as a gang-related shooting, with the shooter mistaking the victims for someone else. Documents state that the shooters only learned they had fired on the wrong target when they heard the story in the news, and identified both the rental vehicle they used and led police to the gun.

Jazmine's funeral and another balloon releasing and vigil are planned for Tuesday.

/e incorrect on how they were arrested

It would've been a better read if they'd said that the perp was a white devil with bright blue eyes and a swastika tattooed on his forehead.

It’s not just ideology though. I doubt you ever believed that aliens have aligned with the CIA and are controlling weather patterns from bunkers 100 miles under the sea.

The Batlord 01-08-2019 04:08 PM

I mean I imagine he can see how ridiculous a cartoon character trying to bang a drum that Alex Jones is but still buys into the basic concept when it's put in a way that seems more palatable.

I've seen him say things about his mother and his ex-wife that make me think that he's felt embattled for a good portion of his life, combine that with the overactive pattern recognition of the conspiracy theorist, and I'd say he was ripe for the internet loonies to recruit him. I mean he's been crazy for longer than the alt right have existed.

Yeah but it was never as palatable as when it went "alt-right". The alt-right (and the Tea Party before it) made it okay to lean fascist in polite society.

"Pretentious" is a loved word by the right because the right value instinct and phony "common sense". It makes the left seem out of touch and effete.

That makes me think that you've been called pretentious many times in the past and instead of actually thinking about how it applies to you you've instead warped it to be a derogative used by your opponent that has no meaning when in fact does.

But look at me, psychoanalyzing. I've become what I hate.

something I've learned from living in Texas is people are way more leftist here than they even know, the current Democratic leadership just seems to do everything it can to look down on the common man

Yeah so keep voting for Hillary Clinton and her love for the people.

Not really no. I mean have you met me? I'm a belligerent abrasive boor who uses profanity as punctuation. I spent much of my early years as a conservative, spent much of my 20s as a moderate who tried staying away from political discussions after becoming disgusted with my former conservative politics, and only in the last few years have become a pretentious liberal blowhard. I'm not elph. I don't have a history of being called pretentious. I just recognize that right wing ideology in many ways is anti-learning as things like science and philosophy are a threat to traditionalist views.
