When Nabra Hassanen was killed by Darwin Martinez Torres, the
media rushed to blame Islamophobia and Trump. The truth was simpler. It was
the left’s own Illegalophilia that killed the Muslim teenager.
Torres, an
illegal alien from El Salvador, had no interest in Hassanen’s religion. He
got into an altercation with her friends. Hassanen happened to be the one he
caught when her friends left her behind.
The murder happened in Fairfax County.
Earlier this year, Fairfax County Chief of Police Ed Roessler had assured
illegal aliens that they had nothing to worry about. The police were not
going to do anything about them until they killed someone.
“We’re not targeting someone on the street that we may or may not know is
here unlawfully,” Deputy County Executive David Rohrer soothed.
Cecilia Wang, the Deputy Legal Director of the ACLU, demanded
“accountability” for Hassanen’s death. That’s easy enough. The Virginia ACLU
had pressured Fairfax County to go further in not cooperating with
immigration authorities. Wang can demand “accountability” from the ACLU for
Hassanen’s death
Fairfax County’s refusal to investigate illegal aliens made it a magnet for a
rising illegal alien population. Its jails have nearly 2,000 illegal aliens
and the area has become a magnet for the El Salvadoran MS-13 gang. It’s
unknown whether Torres was an MS-13 member, but his behavior matches the
extreme brutality and fearless savagery that the group, which has been
lethally active in Fairfax, is known for.
13 MS-13 gang members were convicted of dismembering and burying their own
members in a park.
“This problem is horrible,” Fairfax County Police Chief Ed Roessler had
commented at the time. “This is four murders in this park.”
This year, ICE busted 11 MS-13 members in Fairfax County for, among other
things, drug trafficking, weapons smuggling, human smuggling and murder. Ten
were arrested for the murder of a 15-year-old girl who had been threatened by
MS-13 members. The adults in the case were illegal aliens.
Maybe if she had been a Muslim, the media might have cared.
MS-13 sharply increased its presence due to Obama’s policy of open borders
for “unaccompanied minors”. Meanwhile United We Dream, a Soros backed
left-wing group passed out leaflets in Fairfax County urging illegal aliens
not to open the door to immigration authorities and to “Fight Back”.
The left-wing group was protecting illegals like Darwin Martinez Torres from
Trump.
Sharon Bulova, the Democrat serving as the chair of Fairfax County’s Board of
Supervisors, had been critical of immigration enforcement efforts by law
enforcement elsewhere in Virginia.
“Fairfax County is a very, very diverse community,” Bulova had argued.
"In Fairfax County we celebrate diversity; we consider it an asset...
We, in this county, have chosen not to create what could be a poisonous
atmosphere for our diverse community, a community that we value.”
After the Hassanen murder, Bulova stated, “A horrific tragedy like this
should never ever happen in our community.” It didn’t have to happen.
Shielding illegal aliens was a choice that Bulova had made.
In Loudoun County, where Darwin Martinez Torres lived, some efforts had been
made to crack down. But there’s only so much good that one county cracking
down can do when another acts as a magnet.
Fairfax County is indeed “diverse”. Around a third of it is foreign born. The
media had notably little interest in crimes committed by illegal aliens in
Fairfax County until Muslims were affected.
In April, Oscar Perez Rangel was arrested for sexually abusing a 12-year-old
girl. Rangel was an illegal alien from Mexico who had already been arrested
in the past for attempted robbery and the use of a firearm during a felony in
Fairfax County. He was sent to prison and deported. He returned and was
arrested again and deported. And then he popped up back in Fairfax County and
abused a little girl.
Since the victim wasn’t Muslim and the perpetrator was one of those wonderful
“undocumented immigrants” whom the media, along with Fairfax County Dems, was
dedicated to celebrating and defending, the story did not receive a fraction
of the attention that the Nabra Hassanen case did.
Even though the failures by the authorities were far more outrageous and
egregious.
The left has only itself to blame for Nabra Hassanen’s murder. It makes a
fetish of diversity. But there are rational limits to diversity. You can
champion Muslims and illegal aliens against Trump. But eventually members of
one group will kill another. And it won’t be Trump’s fault. It’ll be yours.
The utopian society that the left is building is as unstable and
unsustainable as a nuclear meltdown.
Nabra Hassanen was one of the many victims of the left’s illegalophillic
sanctuary crimes. Most of these victims never became national figures. They
died unmourned except by their friends and loved ones.
If only they had been fodder for Islamophobia accusations, someone on the
left might have cared.
The media has tried to hide behind accusations of Islamophobia. Even after
the police made it clear that it was road rage, the worst of the mainstream
media’s outlets tried to keep its old lie alive.
The Washington Post, which keeps digging a deep hole to an alternate reality,
suggested that Nabra Hassanen, who was Egyptian Arab, was really attacked
because she was geographically black. “African-Americans wondered whether
this is another instance of them being targeted because of their race.”
Maybe the illegal alien killer hated the entire continent of Africa,
regardless of race, and as a student of ethnography was able to recognize
exactly which Arab country Hassanen’s father had come from.
Or maybe the media has exited reality and lives in its own matrix of lies and
conspiracy theories.
The Post's Petula Dvorak, who has scribbled numerous defenses of illegal
aliens, had insisted that it might still a hate crime because "hitting a
17-year-old girl with a bat and dumping her body in a pond would be an act
born of hate." As opposed to most murders which are motivated by love.
Maybe we should prosecute all murders as hate crimes. Or only those that fit
the media’s agenda.
"Nabra was killed by some kind of toxic mix of hate and rage, there's no
doubt about that-- even if it doesn't meet the legal definition of a hate
crime," Petula protested.
Nabra Hassanen was killed by the left’s love for illegal aliens. Hate and
rage are abstracts. Letting a dangerous El Salvadoran gang set up shop in
your community really does kill.
The left likes pretends that it’s all about love while its mean opponents
represent fear and hate. Its love however is very narrow and specific.
And often lethal.
The left’s illegalophilic love for illegal aliens killed Nabra and many
others. And it will go on killing.
Fairfax County’s safe space for violent El Salvadoran illegal alien thugs
accidentally became national news when the media’s desperate search for
Islamophobia briefly lingered on one illegal alien killer.
After some frantic efforts to obscure the identity of the killer, the lights,
cameras and agendas will move on. But unless the law trumps the left’s
illegalophilic love, the illegal alien killings will continue.
