AP Gets Relentlessly Roasted For Absurd Response To Illegal Alien’s Alleged Killing

The Associated Press (AP) has experienced a barrage of criticism for its handling of a tragic story involving the brutal killing of 22-year-old nursing student, Laken Hope Riley. The 22-year-old was found dead after going missing during a morning run in the forested area of the University of Georgia campus.

The suspect, Jose Antonio Ibarra, a 26-year-old Athens resident, was arrested on suspicion of murder. The victim and suspect were strangers, leading authorities to describe the murder as a “crime of opportunity.”

The AP’s coverage of the horrific incident then sparked an outcry among voices across social media platforms. Critics accused the AP of downplaying the killer’s illegal immigration status, focusing instead on framing the narrative around the fears of solo female athletes.

The angle has been seen by many as an attempt to divert attention from the critical issue at hand: the dangers posed by illegal immigration and the policies that allow such individuals to remain in the country.

High-profile conservative figures, including Scott Presler and Christina Pushaw, took to X, formerly Twitter, to express their outrage, accusing Democrats of welcoming illegal aliens into the country and ignoring the safety and well-being of American citizens.

The Associated Press wrote:

Riley’s death has once again put the spotlight on the dangers female runners face. Previously, the 2018 death of University of Iowa student Mollie Tibbetts while out jogging prompted an outpouring from other women who shared their tales of being harassed and followed.

Crime statistics indicate that these types of attacks are rare, but they underscore the hypervigilance women must take when going out, even for a run on campus.

According to a survey by athletic wear company Adidas last year, 92% of women reported feeling concerned for their safety with half afraid of being physically attacked. More than a third of women said they experienced physical or verbal harassment, including sexist comments and being followed.

The sentiment was echoed across the board, with commentators accusing the AP of engaging in “regime propaganda” and pushing leftist narratives that prioritize political correctness over the harsh realities of crime and illegal immigration.

The backlash against the AP’s reporting has extended beyond criticism, once again diving into the debate over immigration policies, sanctuary cities, and the failure of the current administration to secure the U.S. border effectively.

Many have argued these incidents are not isolated tragedies but rather symptomatic of a larger, systemic problem that poses a significant threat to public safety.
