Hate Crime Investigation of the Day: Shaima Alawadi, a 32-year-old mother of five who emigrated from Iraq with her husband 17 years ago, was found severely beaten inside her El Cajon, California home next to a note that allegedly read “go back to your own country. You’re a terrorist.”
Alawadi was rushed to the hospital, but passed away after being taken off life support yesterday afternoon.
One of her three daughters, Fatima Al Himidi, told KUSI she found Alawadi unconscious in the dining room. The attacker had apparently broken in through the sliding glass door and assaulted Alawadi repeatedly with a tire iron. Al Himidi said the attacker was gone by the time she came downstairs.
According to Lt. Mark Coit of the El Cajon police, the family had received a note similar to the one left near Alawadi earlier this month, but thought it was a prank, so did not bother reporting it to authorities.
“Given the fact of these notes left, we’re obviously concerned about the possibility of a hate crime,” said the executive director of CAIR’s San Diego branch, Hanif Mohebi. “I don’t think anyone would disagree this is a coldblooded murder.”
Investigators say they believe this was “an isolated incident,” and a hate crime is just “one of the possibilities” they are exploring.

What the fucking fuck, people…. Once again, El Cajon makes San Diegans ashamed. What exactly is in El Cajon? Nothing worth seeing, thank Glod.
My deepest condolences to the family. I hope that you find justice and peace. And a better neighborhood.

Please, this is a huge movement going on across the world in attempts to stop African war criminal Joseph Kony. Kony, for the past 30 years, has abducted children of Africa and forced them to kill innocent African civilians (including their own parents.) We want to put an end to this now, this year. But in order for it to happen, we need everyone to know about this. Every little thing helps, so please, spread the word!

Not relating to the .gif … BUT! The more I hear Donald Glover talk and realize he’s super intelligent, the more I’m turned on by him. Intelligence is sexy. :)
