I have been keeping an eye on this story but I haven't posted anything until now. Just to note, this is about 15 miles from my house.
"PORTLAND — Two teen women were found shot in the head about 25 yards beneath a scenic overlook deck at Violet Andrews Park about 9 a.m. Saturday by a couple visiting the park, police said.
Mollie Judith Olgin, 19, raised in Ingleside and living in Flour Bluff, was dead, said Police Chief Randy Wright. Olgin’s vehicle was found near the crime scene, he said."
That was the first story about this heinous crime.
Then we find out some more information.
"PORTLAND — There is no evidence that the shooting of two teens last weekend had anything to do with their romantic relationship, Portland Police Chief Randy Wright said Tuesday.
News organizations have brought nationwide attention to the shooting of two women at a Portland park late Friday, emphasizing their relationship. Many have questioned if the teens were shot as a hate crime."
Now we have the automatic assumption by some that this is a hate crime based upon the sexual orientation of the victims.
So of course we then get various special interest organizations involved.
"PORTLAND — Organizations from California to Washington D.C. planned vigils in the memory of two teenagers found shot in a Portland park.
A call to honor the girls, one who survived and the other who died, went out on Facebook earlier this week.
On Monday, lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender civil rights activist and founder of the AIDS Memorial Quilt, Cleve Jones, posted a plea for the nation to get involved by hosting vigils."
Nationwide candle light vigils...... what about other crime victims?
"ARANSAS PASS — Hours after a fisherman discovered the body of a young girl Thursday, authorities identified her as a 16-year-old missing since Monday.
Jenna Hernandez, 16, of Aransas Pass was found Thursday about 9 a.m. by a fisherman visiting from San Antonio, police said."
Where is the candle light vigil for her? This happened only 6 miles from my house. Where is all the outrage for her? Where is all the support for her family? Where is the manufactured outrage for the the rest of the ordinary people who are murdered? Ohhh, I see they aren't special enough, unless they belong to a select group of people. What hypocrisy. There should be outrage for anyone who is murdered. However for certain groups, it doesn't fit the agenda.
Well I'll start taking those groups seriously when they start acknowledging that ANY murder of ANY person is heinous. To have their "Candle Light Vigil" only for persons who meet their criteria is the same as waving a flag soaked in the blood of a martyr is for terrorists.
Oh and a description of the suspect in the Portland shooting/murder has been released.
"CORPUS CHRISTI — Portland police released a description of a suspect Thursday in the weekend shootings of two teenage girls who are being mourned in vigils this week across the country.
An eyewitness described the suspect as a white male in his 20s with dark hair standing 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighing about 140 pounds."
Once again the police say they do not believe that the girls sexual orientation was a factor in their shooting. Try telling that to certain organizations, looking for their "Martyrs".
