Slow News

Slow
news weeks don’t seem to exist any more, but important news is very often slow
to receive the attention that it deserves.
While the national news media, that giant sucking leach on American
attention spans, continued to plow the state of Arizona under for its new
immigration law, here in New Mexico, where I presently reside, a sensational
event happened that got very little attention.
A
six-year-old girl was raped by an illegal immigrant in the play room of the
Midtown Sports and Wellness Club in Albuquerque while her mother worked out at
the facility. Here is the KRQE
report
on the incident. KRQE is a local
television station. I heard about the
incident on the local news talk radio station, KKOB. To
their credit, the local “talkers” devoted a fair amount of time to discuss the
ramifications of the incident and invited caller feedback on it. Naturally, they have devoted a lot of time
recently to the Arizona immigration law also.
On
the rape incident, there is definitely enough blame to go around. A mother who would drop her six-year-old
daughter off in an unattended play room so she can work out, (for whatever
reason I don’t care) is negligent to say the least. This story isn’t that simple though. The rapist is the son of another mother, one who is supposedly a
legal alien who works at the gym as a janitor.
Evidently the rapist has the run of the place, (as a member) while his
mother works. So we have a “work out”
mom and a working mom who both obviously fell down on their mothering jobs.
Here
is an updated report from the
same
source as the first, KRQE. This was not
the first time for this rapist, now 20 years old. We now find that he is a serial rapist who has never been
punished! He admits to “having a
problem” – and the courts have been inefficient with helping him out with
it.
Now,
to say that information on this case is sketchy is a gross understatement. I picked up a lot more from listening to the
talk news station twenty minutes than from two hours of scouring the internet –
and my research skills are impeccable.
Everybody involved seems to be in overdrive on passing the buck. Well, that is everyone officially
involved. Of course we don’t know the
identity of the child or her parents or that much about the rapist’s parents
either.
And
where is the nationwide news media on this one?
I’m
not a reporter, so I refuse to use the CYA terminology (like “alleged”) to
describe this monster, who would steal the innocence of a six-year-old while he
held his hand over her mouth and heard her repeated cries to “stop” then took
himself off to the showers to destroy the evidence. That, in my book, is not alleged behavior, but proof of a guilty
SOB.
As
with other incidences of crimes committed by illegal aliens, the news media and
the pathetically misinformed public try to erase the negative connotations
against illegal aliens. The politically
correct directive is to go out of one’s way not to place emphasis on the
illegal status of anyone committing any other crime.
Reading
the feedback on what little information you can find on this case is eye
opening, as is listening to callers to the radio show. This commentator cannot ignore the
inescapable correlations to the Arizona law and the fact that this monster was
still in this country to carry out his “problem” passions on a six-year-old
child! Added to that, I now have my
finger on the pulse of the state of New Mexico, a liberal ridden state that
coddles illegal aliens!
Before
anyone asks, I have personally answered the question, “Are you a United States
citizen?” four times in the last year, as I came back from the Texas border
town of El Paso. You see, there is a
Border Patrol station on I 25, well into the state of New Mexico, that is
always heavily manned – and everybody has to stop. There isn’t a lot out there in that section of desert, and I
always wonder if the other routes into civilization are closely monitored
too. I would have to think NOT.
Folks,
if you haven’t seen with your own eyes the effects of the illegal alien crisis,
then why the hell do I have to listen to your whining about human rights being
violated by the big, bad policemen in Arizona hassling people with their kids
at ice cream parlors? Do you even know
what you are talking about?? Perhaps
you need to take a little trip south of the border and convince those folks
that human rights are being violated!
Let me know how that all works out for ya!
For
weeks now I have listened to folks sniveling about how the Arizona law is going
to cause an illegal alien influx into the neighboring state of New Mexico. I have a question: Why should it????? The
last I heard, they have no intention of being run out of Arizona – or anywhere
else in America. Believe me, they are
here to stay unless they are forced to leave!
Getting
back to this dear little soul in Albuquerque, I hope her mother has decided
that her work outs do not negate her responsibilities as a parent. I also hope the rapist’s mother has decided
that ignoring her son’s little problem was not the wisest path she could have
chosen for her or her son. I hope the
judges and court officials have decided that they may have dropped the ball a
little too far and will own up to their own responsibilities in this case. I hope God will allow this child to grow up
as unscathed as possible.
Even
as I express all those hopes, I know that chances are slim to none for any of
them being realized.
I
will now employ the Mr. Veritas lament:
WAKE UP AMERICA!
