Most of America is unaware that this shooting happened. Shootings happen every day. It's barely news worthy in the Biden regime's era of chaos.

Nah, we can blame the usual "wasn't me" from the GOP.

Honestly, nobody expects any less.

Does this mean we can blame Fetterman every time a thug in a hoodie commits a crime?

Don't you guys already blame Democrats for every crime? LOL.

So I think your question is answered before you even asked it.

So it's the Maga Perp thing now???

Every time, I hear about a Rapist or Indecency with a Child/Minor - I'm calling it "Biden Perp".

They could have a statue of a prominent Spanish missionary or maybe a priest or educator like in Taos who actually did something for people.

Rio Ariba County is home to three Indian communities. One of them, Ohkay Owingeh Pueblo established in 1200, formerly known by its Spanish name as San Juan de los Caballeros until 2005, was occupied by Onate to be his headquarters and first administrative capital of Nuevo Mejico until Santa Fe was established in 1610. He renamed it after John the Baptist, his own patron saint. It was from that site that the early Spanish massacres and enslavement against the Indians were directed. Onate installed the abusive encomienda system and parceled out land grants to his favorites, which under the encomienda system included the Indian residents as laborers. The reinstallation of the statue is being spearheaded by the county commissioner. Espanola is not the county seat. Rio Ariba County is a Democratic stronghold.

His wife, Isabela de Tolosa Cortes de Moctezuma, was Moctezuma’s great-granddaughter. She was also the granddaughter of Cortes. She was mestiza and so were their children.
