Man charged in Mollie Tibbetts death in Iowa is an illegal Mexican authorities say

Funny, Mollie Tibbetts name was plastered all over the news for the past month. I watched every day as expert after expert hypothesized on what might have happened to her (remember the pig farmer) and who may have killed her. Then suddenly her body is found and her father identifies her. There is no explanation regarding her murder... all goes quiet... not a peep for the last few days.

Went on Google news today and found Mollie's tragic and completely avoidable death buried towards the bottom of the page. Why? The story had no guts left in it once they learned an illegal killed her.

MONTEZUMA, Iowa (AP) — The disappearance of a well-liked college student from America’s heartland had touched many people since she vanished one month ago while out for a run. But the stunning news that a Mexican man living in the U.S. illegally has allegedly confessed to kidnapping and murdering her thrust the case into the middle of the contentious immigration debate and midterm elections.

Illegal Mexican Cristhian Rivera, 24, has been charged with first-degree murder

President Donald Trump seized on the man’s arrest in the death of Mollie Tibbetts on Tuesday to call the nation’s immigration laws “a disgrace” that will only be fixed by electing more Republicans. Iowa’s Republican governor, facing a tough re-election challenge in November, blasted an immigration system that “allowed a predator like this to live in our community.” And Iowa’s two GOP U.S. senators called the death a tragedy that “could have been prevented.”

Cristhian Bahena Rivera, 24, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder in the death of the 20-year-old Tibbetts, whose July 18 disappearance set off a massive search involving state and federal authorities.

Rivera led investigators early Tuesday to a body believed to be Tibbetts in a cornfield about 12 miles (19 kilometers) southeast of Brooklyn, Iowa, where Tibbetts was last seen going for a routine evening run, Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation special agent Rick Rahn said.

“I can’t speak about the motive. I can just tell you that it seemed that he followed her, seemed to be drawn to her on that particular day, for whatever reason he chose to abduct her,” Rahn told reporters at a news conference outside the sheriff’s office in Montezuma, where Rivera was being jailed on $1 million cash-only bond.

Protests Erupt After Chicago Police Claim Teen Committed Suicide Following Chase

Steve Rosenthal, 15, committed suicide, according to police. His family questions their narrative. (GoFundMe)

This is Steve Rosenthal? I expected that name attached to a young Jewish kid. Guess I'm wrong.

We'll have to see how this washes out. It's a big deal because cops were involved. In the meantime, until this incident, the routine Chicago slaughter runs full steam ahead... but only this one gets all the attention.  

1,944 have been shot in Chicago so far this year?

How many did the cops shoot?
I suspect very few.

-----------------------------

The death of 15-year-old Steven Rosenthal has led many to protest and question Chicago authorities who allege the teen committed suicide following a police chase.

According to the Chicago Tribune, the teen died Friday evening (Aug. 17) in Chicago’s Lawndale neighborhood. The Cook County medical examiner has ruled Steven’s death a suicide, from a gunshot wound to the head. While detailing the event, law enforcement said the teen ran after cops questioned him about a weapon he had. A short while later, Steven died.

Yet members of the community chanting “no justice, no peace,” (I'm starting to smell Al) as they marched don’t believe the cop’s version of events. The family attorney Andrew Stroth also questions the validity of the claim.

“Steven was on the stairwell of his grandmother’s house on the West Side of Chicago when police officers stormed up the stairwell chasing,” Stroth, said at a news conference prior to Sunday’s march. “Within moments, these officers, without cause or provocation, shot and killed 15-year old Steven. Based on several eyewitness accounts, these officers ended the hopes and the dreams of a talented young man with a bright future.”

Steven’s aunt and legal guardian gave a tearful public plea to Mayor Rahm Emanuel begging for the release of body cam footage to corroborate the police’s claim.

“My 15-year old nephew Steven was shot and killed by the Chicago Police Department,” Terinica (My Grammarly said I misspelled Veronica) Thomas-Level, 28, said. “I need the attention of Mayor Emanuel. I need to see evidence. Body cams. They need to release the video. My nephew would never commit suicide ever. … If he (Emanuel) even had the smallest compassion for our family, he’d get those videotapes released.”

As of Sunday, police spokesman Michael Carroll said the case is currently under investigation and a decision hasn’t been made about releasing any footage of the encounter.

Senate rejects Trump, asserts the press is 'not the enemy of the people'

They're not...if you're a Democrat.

Muslim loving president who tried to destroy America almost doubling the national debt in one of the most scandal-ridden presidencies of all time and is named Person of the Year... and wins the Nobel Peace Prize like 45 minutes into office.

On the other hand...

--------------------------------------

The Senate on Thursday approved a resolution asserting that the press is "not the enemy of the people," as President Trump has claimed, and condemning Trump's ongoing attacks against reporters.

The Senate quickly considered the resolution from Sens. Brian Schatz, D-Hawaii, and Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and passed it unanimously in a voice vote.

The resolution doesn't specifically mention Trump, but a statement from Schatz's office said the resolution was offered in the wake of Trump's effort to "attack journalists and news organizations."

The resolution noted the importance of freedom of the press from the founding of the United States, as well as efforts by "tyrannical and authoritarian governments" to "undermine, censor, suppress, and control the press to advance their undemocratic goals."

"The Senate ... affirms that the press is not the enemy of the people," it read. It said the Senate "reaffirms the vital and indispensable role the free press serves to inform the electorate, uncover the truth, act as a check on the inherent power of the government, further national discourse and debate, and otherwise advance our most basic and cherished democratic norms and freedoms."

It concluded by saying the Senate "condemns attacks on the institution of the free press and views efforts to systematically undermine the credibility of the press as a whole as an attack on our democratic institutions."

Applicants Rejected From Jobs After Company Says They Have ‘Ghetto Names’

A Missouri health clinic sent emails to multiple women applicants, denying them job offers because they have “ghetto names.”

At least 20 women, including Hermeisha Robinson and Dorneshia Zachery, received rejection letters from St. Louis’ Mantality Health center earlier this week that listed their “ghetto names” as the reason the candidates did not get the job. 

“Thank you for your interest in careers at Mantality Health. Unfortunately we do not consider candidates that have suggestive ‘ghetto’ names. We wish the best in your career search,” reads the rejection letter, which Robinson posted to Facebook on Monday. 

Quindaroius Gooch faced the same discrimination but was ultimately hired because they loved his haircut.

Robinson, who applied for a customer service position at the health center, wrote on Facebook that her “feelings are very hurt” and asked people to share the post because “discrimination has to stop.” Her post quickly went viral and received over 11,000 shares as of Thursday morning. 

“When I read the email I was just appalled,” Robinson told local St. Louis outlet KMOV.com. ”[My name] is just unique. It’s from my mom and my father.” 

Zachery added that she teared up when she first read the email.

“The company looked at my name and said ‘No we don’t care about what you’ve done in life, your name is going to dismiss you completely,’” she told KMOV.com.

Mantality Health’s clinic director Jack Gamache told CBS Sacramento that the company’s account was hacked and that police are currently investigating the situation. Gamache added that the company believes a disgruntled employee sent the emails.

“The password for the outside job board site used by Mantality was compromised on August 13, 2018,” CEO of Mantality Health Kevin Meuret told HuffPost in a statement. “We are currently working with law enforcement to identify the perpetrator and consider appropriate legal action. We share the anger and frustration of those who received these bogus emails.”

Meuret told KMOV.com that 20 other candidates received the same email.

“This is not a reflection of who we are as a company,” he said. “This is deplorable.”

The employee listed as sending the email, Jordan Kimler, was not available for a HuffPost request for comment. The company denied that Kimler sent the email.

Discrimination based on a person’s name has long been an issue for job applicants in the U.S. According to a 2002 study that looked at 5,000 resumes for 1,300 job roles, names categorized as “white-sounding” received 50 percent more callbacks for interviews than names that were commonly assumed to be “black-sounding.”

Indeed.com, the job site that hosted the Mantality Health application, said in a statement that they do not believe their site was hacked. 

“Account security is of utmost importance to Indeed and something that we diligently monitor,” the statement reads. “Account holders are responsible for use of their password and we recommend frequent updates and complete confidentiality of your password. Our investigation into this particular account shows no evidence of compromise.”
