Daniel Navarro, 27, allegedly told detectives he’d been the victim of racism from white people because he’s Hispanic

As far as the media will be concerned this is the complete story, nothing else but this will be reported about it.

I work with a guy with European ancestry who looks more Hispanic than that guy.

Waldschmidt said Navarro told detectives he targeted Thiessen because he was riding a Harley and “in Wisconsin white people drive Harley-Davison motorcycles and that the Harley culture is made up of white racists."

He said Navarro “chose a motorcycle instead of a car because he wanted the driver to die and not just be injured or paralyzed.”

Navarro told detectives he’s been the victim of racism from white people because he’s Hispanic and that “people are going to have to die.”
I think he chose a motorcycle because he knew he would get hurt hitting a car/truck.  If someone has to die, I would like to make a nomination.

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

Politicians and bureaucrats are considered productive if they swarm the populace like a plague of locust, devouring all substance in their path and leaving a swath of destruction like a firestorm. The technical term is "bipartisanship".
