White folk really should be kicked off the island for good.

The killer was CBP? Yeah, I’m going to go out on a limb here and guess that A) every single thing in his statement was a lie and B) race played the single biggest factor in his decision to open fire on these kids.
CBP and ICE are where people too crazy, violent, and racist to be police officers gravitate.
First things first, these “scare tactics” are undeniably hate crimes. They should be punished as so.
*ahem* it’s spelled t.A.t.U.
You know, in 99% of these cases, the DA don’t want an indictment either. These assholes work hands in hands with the asshole police and never give it their best to indict.
By not allowing the T-shirt because it’s “too prejudicial,” the judge has created a situation so ironic that time-space folds in on itself.
I don’t believe in hell, but sometimes I hope it exists so people like these scammers can burn for eternity.
This one sounds like the old “pigeon drop” (which usually is done in person) combined with a “Nigerian/419" scam (usually done by email), which is itself a newer version of the much older “Spanish prisoner”.

Say what you will, but my complete mistrust and general skepticism of all humankind keeps me from believing anything that anyone tells that involves handing over my money or personal belongings for any amount of time.
People who prey on old folks, there’s a place reserved in hell for you assholes.
Edge handed over her life savings, which she kept rolled up in the sock as she didn’t have a green card and was unable to put her cash in a bank.
I’m still failing to see how any of this required her to go to her house and hand them her money.
scammers like these often target immigrants who don’t or can’t use banks. for her whole working life in the US this woman has had to operate through cash-based channels because she was never able to open an account anyplace, so a story like the one the scammer concocted would ring true with her own experiences. if…
Bad news - many folks are stupid and gullible. They are born, live and die that way. Nothing you or anyone else can do can mitigate that handicap.
“I’m calling myself stupid, and I don’t want anyone to be stupid like me and get scammed,” Edge told CBS New York, voicing her frustration.
