We do when it points out the corruption that caused the tragedy...if it was my child that had been murdered by an illegal, I’d be there.

No kidding. What kind of person sees his political opportunity as being more important than a family trying to manage this tragedy?

“Stand up Chuck!”

Did Byden even call then and offer condolences?

What a cheap shot.

Thanks for the info. Never heard of that.

I’m waiting for a family member of a victim to say to the CRS person interviewing them….”I was only going to take vengeance on the politicians I hold responsible for my daughter’s death. Now, I plan on taking it out in you too.”

Thank for link:

Rep. Mike Collins @RepMikeCollins (Mar 6, 2024)

I invited Laken Riley’s parents to the State of the Union address, but understandably, they have chosen to stay home as they grieve the loss of their daughter.

Therefore, the seat reserved for my guest will remain vacant to honor Laken and all American victims of illegal alien crime.

As Joe Biden attempts to paint a rosy picture of the crime-ridden country he has created, he will look up at an empty seat that memorializes those we’ve lost because of his open border policies.

Mike Collins and his Republican partner’s inaction led to his daughter’s death.

They could have shut down the government when the invasion started. They could have held hearing on the organizations who are facilitating the invasion.

They could have done lots of things. Instead they do Kabuki theater and pretend to care.

They are complicit.

"She did have her eye on a new Yacht with a gold helecopter."

No doubt, even more than that.

From Houston Gaines(R) (Gaines is a state representative of the 117th district, which includes parts of Athens, Georgia as well as Jackson, Barrow and Oconee counties.):

“Last night when given the opportunity to respond to murder of Laken Riley, Athens-Clarke County Commissioner Melissa Link said the following at the Mayor & Commission meeting”

—— —

“I am as disgusted by the crime as I am the hysterical glee with which so many have seized upon this tragedy to promote division, bigotry, and hate. This tragedy offers yet another reminder that monsters are real and they come in all shapes and sizes. With terrifying regularity, they come in the form of white men with weapons of war fueled by mental illness, bigotry and right wing conspiracy theories who slaughter classrooms full of school children, congregants in churches, temples and mosques, hapless shoppers and revelers at concerts, nightclubs, festivals and parade routes. Mass murders have become so routine they are only met with thoughts and prayers from the cowardly Republican legislators, governors and judges who enable unfettered access to such weapons of war. And everyday, monsters come in the form of young men behind the wheel of big trucks and fast cars who ignore the rules of the road - endangering the public with impunity often walking away from fatal crashes with barely a slap on the wrist.”

“We live in a violent patriarchal society in which even our own bodies are not our own - a society in which desperate mothers are sent home from emergency rooms to suffer unassisted miscarriages as they bleed out on their bathrooms floors and raped little girls are forced to give birth to their step daddies babies. In which at least two of our Supreme Court justices have been credibly accused of sexually assault and at least three were appointed by a traitorous, insurrectionist, bigoted, lying, cheating, fraudulent, philandering rapist. I call upon those who are so overcome by Laken Riley’s death to channel that outrage towards protecting the living.”

These comments are reprehensible and unhinged. Right now, our focus needs to be on keeping the Riley family in our prayers — and working together to address policy issues to make sure something like this never happens again.

Absolutely. This ridiculous investigation of Joe and Hunter means nothing and they are spinning their wheels with it. Joe Biden should be out right impeached on his open border policy which is clearly illegal and unconstitutional, also his flipping off the Supreme Court by going ahead with the Student Debt Loan Forgiveness. Make the democrats go on the record with their support of both issues.
