well....there are those on the far right who want to stop all immigration....and some of that far right group would go so far as to remove all the people here who "don't belong"
i am not 100% sure...but i would bet a dollar that someone who has been agitated by hannity, rush, and trump to hate the left is responsible. that seems like a fairly safe bet to me.
that would actually be about the same as the saudis blaming the journalist for starting a fight where he was dismembered and buried in the embassy garden.
there is a grey area. the guy didn't appear to threaten to hurt anyone...it looks like he was just trying to get away. without the threat of harm the shooter might have crossed the line. i believe that at least here in nebraska there has to be a threat before you can shoot someone in self defense. now maybe the shooter can claim he thought he was threatened. i am not sure. But it seems that the death penalty with no jury for what was likely petty theft is...a bit harsh.
i have no idea where the claim came from or how it was used.....the context could make a difference but saying she had a native ancestor appears to be the truth
