The death count stands at twenty as I write these words. That is how many people were killed in El Paso yesterday.
The killer is not an immigrant.
He aimed at people who he thought look like immigrants. They weren’t immigrants either. But they got a sentence of death from him because they looked like immigrants.
Who was the dangerous one in El Paso yesterday?
Postscript of Monday, August 5, 2019:
“This Anglo man came here to kill Hispanics. I’m outraged and you should be, too. This entire nation should be outraged. In this day and age, with all the serious issues we face, we are still confronted with people who will kill one another for the sole reason of the color of their skin.”
