Mollie Tibbets Murder

[Bengalzona]

I was just talking to a retired couple in a very small community way out in the desert this morning. Most of the people in this community are retired and elderly. They asked if I had heard about "the murder". I had not. Apparently, an illegal alien broke into two homes at night, stole a gun in one, and murdered three elderly people. According to the couple, these illegal aliens were a real problem out there. They get laced up on drugs and thumb rides from truckers, who realize that these people aren't right and dump them off in this community in the middle of the night. Happens all the time, they said. "Like the way people drop off dogs they don't want in the woods".

When I got back to the office, I figured I'd look it up and see what all happened. The community is so tiny that you just type in the word "murder" and the community's name and all of the responses are for the same event, which happened in 2016. And, sure enough, there was a triple murder. As they said, a guy broke into these elderly people's homes, stole one of their guns and murdered them in the night. Pretty horrible. So what they had told me was true, which is good news to hear because they were a nice old couple. I'd hate to think they were making stuff up.

True, except for the "illegal" part. The dude is 'Murican born, a local Phoenix resident. It looks like the local community added that part to show ways of how this could have been prevented. Or, they got confused when they saw his picture and mistook him for an illegal because of his dark skin (actually, I believe I saw that his family was originally from the Philippines).

The jury is still out on the "drug-laced" and "hitchhiker" parts of the story. But, what the heck. Clearly a sane person would have had to have been on drugs to commit those acts. And there are way too many of those damn trucks driving on the one road through town, IMO!
