  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

A medical examiner later determined Maria was strangled to death, and she had also been sexually assaulted.

Pasadena police said the suspect, Mr. Garcia-Rodriguez, was picked up by U.S. border agents in January while crossing into the country.

He was later released to sponsors in Baton Rouge, according to authorities, who said the sponsors then sent him to Pasadena for work and he got a room in the same complex where Maria lived.


My prayers go out to Maria's family.

Thank G-d natural born Americans do not commit such crimes!
Yes Sheldon, that is sarcasm.
Texas is really good about adminsitering the death penalty; but as illegals continue to pour over the border; there seems to be an endless supply of criminals who are willing to do the jobs that Americans don't want to do.

I pray that Maria's family can find closure in swift justice.

No, they're eager to administer it. Being eager and being good at it are two different things.
That too. People are generally good at what they are eager to do.

Based on my ~20 years working in the music/entertainment industry, I can confidently say that that isn't remotely true.

There is a lot of drug abuse in that industry; but let's not digress.
