To Kill A White Girl

May 1st, 2024

By Patrick Hall

Her name was Laken Riley. Ms. Riley was a 22-year-old nursing student at the University of Georgia. According to family and friends, Laken was a very kind and trusting individual out for her morning run when police say a stranger accosted her, dragged her into a secluded area, and literally bashed her head in. Her killer was a Venezuelan who entered the United States illegally. He was allowed to run about in our country because Mr. Jose Ibarra was awaiting the adjudication of his immigration status. He was one of the “known” 350,000 criminal illegal immigrants that now gallivant far and wide in the country.

Ms. Riley's murder was entirely preventable if not for the “no border” policies of the Biden Administration. Also, Ms. Riley was no George Floyd. She was just another white person paying the wages of the post-colonial and racist system that is the foundation and legacy of the United States of America. How do I know this? The intellectual betters that have run our colleges and universities for the past four decades have accomplished this via indoctrinating scores of Americans (primarily guilt-ridden mea culpa Progressive Liberal Democrats and Mitt Romney Republicans) with a toxic brew of DEI, Critical Race Theory, and History (CRT), as well as country-killing multiculturalism.

So, it was ok! Laken Riley was just another dead white girl, murdered by a poor and struggling immigrant dreamer in search of a better life and more white people to kill as a bonus. Her brutal murder was acceptable collateral damage for the Democratic Liberal polity and their voters. They voted out that mean old racist and misogynist Donald Trump, along with his border policies, in favor of the “no border policies” of a weak, fragile, and dangerous cognitive mess we know as President Joe Biden. Also, it should be remembered that Donald Trump, during his Presidency, committed the egregious sin of hurting a lot of people’s feelings. So there!

George and Laken

George Floyd, good, white girl bad, or at least expendable in the eyes of many Joe Biden Democrats. It was and is the political calculus or the suicidal country killing multiculturalism that many Americans (mostly Democrats) adhere to when they have to choose between the naked criminality of someone with enough fentanyl in his system to kill a horse, the beatified George Floyd, and the innocence of good kid like Laken Riley, brutally murdered by an illegal immigrant. Oh, wait a minute! I mean a dreamer. Mr. Ibarra was a migrant, undocumented worker, or newcomer to our shores, seeking a better life for himself and his family, whom he quickly abandoned after he got them plugged into the “everything is free” dystopia that is the City of New York Democratic welfare state.

Except for the First News Network, Fox News, and a few other news outlets, Laken Riley's murder, along with other homicides committed by illegal immigrants, have become ho-hum footnotes. Laken will become just another of the hundreds of “Angel Moms and Dads” victims murdered or assaulted by illegal immigrants. As usual, and excuse the list: ABC, NBC, CBS, NPR, MSNBC, PBS, News Nation, BBC, BBC Europe, Reuters, the AP, and all major Newspaper including the German magazine Der Spiegel, have quickly moved on from Ms. Riley's brutal homicide because it does not fit their Progressive Liberal, a left-ot-center agenda which is pro-migrant/newcomers, that is illegal immigrant. If only Ms. Riley had been a person of color or Black. At least you might have gotten some push-back from Democratic politicians and the mainstream media. But then again, extraordinarily gullible, easily deceived, if not airhead, black Americans who have overwhelmingly voted Democrat since the late 1960s are finding themselves gradually being replaced by the “new Negroes in town,” i.e., 10 million plus illegal immigrants. They are becoming the new “wards of the state.” So, the black underclass has outlived their usefulness to the Democrat Party. Remember, Progressive Liberals see black people as an “idea.” An “idea” that only cares about their black constituencies around election time.

It’s sad, if not woeful, to see these black folks and their leaders in the Congressional Black Caucus, like Jim Clyburn (D-SC) and Hakeem Jefferies (D-NY), complaining about illegal immigrants taking away and usurping their “wards of the state” or the give-me-my-welfare-because-I’m-historically-oppressed gig. It is pathetic, if not entirely predictable.

Let me repeat myself. Ms. Riley's death is directly related to the fact that the border is not secure, if not nonexistent! Democrats are running as fast as they can away from this truth. They want to pretend Laken’s tragic death is just another murder. After all, thousands of Americans are killed by other Americans each year. So, what’s the big deal? The difference is that Ms. Riley's murder could have been prevented if not for the no-border policy of Joe Biden and many within the Democrat Party. They vigorously support Biden’s unencumbered-by-reality no-borders policies. Laken and others are the “deadly proof” or prima facie evidence of the army of criminals the Democrats have brought into this country with their no-borders policy.
