This whole phenomena that's happening reminds me of the Entire Story of One Piece. For those who never read or watched the anime it is this era's Oddessy. The Lady who lost her life due to her own actions. She FAFO'd thanks to her "wife" telling her to Drive baby Drive running over the ICE Agent reminds me of a class of characters called The Tenryubito or Celestial Dragons thinking they can do as they please and harm others as they Wish with out consequence.
It sucks she lost her life and the "wife" should be, if not already be in custody for attempted murder of a federal Agent.
Now, I've been to Minneapolis several times last year. I went to one of the hotels where I met a fine black American fellow named Mo. We started talking and he was shocked when I told him about Illhan Omar and shared my condolences that they are stuck with her. He then told me "Sir Mo is Short for Mohammed, I keep my name short so I'm not lumped in with the Somali's as they cause issue for other Muslims in the state who came here through the proper channels." He wanted them gone. So, we lamented shook hands and I went to my room for the night. I remember how cold it was that night.
Really powerful breakdown of how the autonomy mythos plays out. The Milgram parallel is sharp becuase it shows we're subconsiously swapping one authority for another, not acutally escaping it. I've watched friends cycle through different ideological groups thinking they're "free thinkers" each time, but they're just trading which voice has their ear. The tragedy is that recognizing limits isn't weakness, it's just reality.
Yet many people pretend they have no weaknesses. I think that’s where the real tragedy is because those people are disconnected from reality. They also tend to be the most vocal, which drowns out the humble with noise.
God did tell us to welcome the sojourner. However, He did not say to accept them and anything they do, He said they had to follow the laws of the place they went to.
I have known many legal immigrants, including my grandparents and my father-in-law. They came via the proper means and they follow the laws, work and support themselves and their families, serve our country in the military, are good citizens. Sadly, because of the criminals who are getting in all too easily and the need for ICE, many of the ones I know are afraid they will be targeted if they upset someone simply because of the country they came here from.
People need to wake up.
I don’t care where you came from, how you got here or how long you’ve been here, if you don’t follow the laws of the land you are living in you need to face any and all consequences of your actions.
People need to also realize that God is the ultimate judge, and He instituted the legal system to assist us - despite how flawed we have made it because, face it, we are all very flawed.
Its a real tragedy. She also had kids and still made such a stupid decision. I wish them luck in their lives.
Wild that some people unsubbed after receiving this article.
Tragedies like hers should be making us think deeper, not run away.
Filtered out wrong people. And indeed, we can't let such events go forgotten or manipulated. We must face them, even if its uncomfortable.

As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.
Exactly. We have never been commanded anywhere to accept all foreigners without expecting them to accept our culture and laws. Quite the contrary.
