I’ve been trying to find out more about this because the story doesn’t make any sense:

“he approached the sleeping woman, and then lit her on fire with what was believed to be a lighter. She added the victim’s clothes became fully engulfed in a matter of seconds.”

Clothing shouldn’t just be flammable like that without some kind of accelerant.

    From Guatamala though, so expect the usual “alien” hate.

      I’d rather hate the lack of mental health and support systems available. If it was just a random act of violence, he’s the suspect is just mentally unwell and you can’t really stop them without structural changes. It’s not hard to find articles and articles about homeless people attacking random people with bricks in NYC.

        That plays into Trumps whole “they’re sending us their criminals and emptying their asylums” bullshit though. :(

        Agreed that mental health care should be a guarantee just like “health care” because, well, it is health care.

        But that won’t be the narrative from the “deport them all” crowd.
