3-Year-Old Dies After Mass Stabbing at Her Birthday Party

[ribrepin]

A 3-year-old girl who was among nine people stabbed at her birthday party in Idaho over the weekend has died from her injuries, the police said on Monday.

The girl was celebrating her birthday at an apartment complex in Boise on Saturday night when a man who had recently been ejected from the complex returned and came upon the toddler’s outdoor party just a few doors down from where he had been staying, the Boise Police Department said.

The man, Timmy Earl Kinner, 30, was charged on Monday with murder and eight counts of aggravated battery. He appeared in court and was ordered held without bail.

The Ada County Public Defender’s Office, which is representing Mr. Kinner, did not immediately return a request for comment on Monday.

This poor child and I am crying.

1. No one seems to care much about this horrible story here on du.

It is very revealing.

[LanternWaste]

3. I'd allege the same

I'd allege the same, create an evidence-free conclusion from it also, and thus crassly advertise my self-righteousness as well.

[Tipperary]

9. Plenty of evidence.

I dislike hypocrisy, as another poster stated on another thread about this subject.

18. You're conflating anger at rhetoric or policy enabled murder vs someone who is most likely ...

... sick in the head with no evidence he's a MAGA Bastard.

That's fucked up

[Boomerproud]

5. Yes. Crickets.

Go ahead angry DUers, put me on ignore. I've been attacked before for not being pure enough.

6. Perhaps you missed this post...

11. I did miss it. Thank you for bringing it to my attention.

Again, it shows the lack of interest from du in this particular case.

[PunkinPi]

13. No problem. I think what your describing as "lack of interest"

has to do with the overload of bad news these days.

[Tipperary]

20. Sadly, you may well be right.

It is hard to keep up. The attack on these children really upset me, however, and I was amazed at the lack of attention it got on du - until I did a little research.

[uponit7771]

7. This is false on its face, why did you post this?

[Tipperary]

8. No, it is not. I wish it were.

You know as well as I that had this been a white man who perpetrated this horror on children and refugees, it would have had numerous threads and responses.

[uponit7771]

15. What you're claiming is false seeing there's a 50 rec post on this issue and you're claiming

... a non existent post count standard on a subject as evidence that people don't care as much as they should.

There's no evidence the person who did the stabbing was a MAGA bastard so the person being sick is more probable than the person being a government rhetoric or policy backed asshole.

I believe the OP is disingenuous at best and a true conflation of multiple issue.

Look, the Russians tried this black vs Hispanic crap in 2016 and missed the boat 100%

[Tipperary]

19. Not sure where you are getting the Hispanic part?

This child was Ethiopian.

As far as the rest of it, you can ignore the evidence all you want. You know full well people here would be calling on this monster to be termed a “terrorist” if he were white, would be called a rump supporter (maybe he is, who knows?), the usual posts when a white monster does it as opposed to a black monster. ANYONE who commits this sort of crime is a sick monster...it goes without saying. He is a criminal; his rap sheet is out there for anyone to read.

[uponit7771]

22. This is false, if the person was a MAGA bastard and polka dot there would be wall to wall coverage

... of this shit because Trumps hate filled enabling rhetoric.

That's a straight up conflation with the insinuation that DU at least can't discern a sick person from a rhetoric or policy based enabled terrorist.

There have been plenty of white mass murderers THIS YEAR ALONE who haven't gotten high rec count post.

[Tipperary]

23. How do you know he is not a MAGA bastard? Because he is black?

Why did he go after the refugees? Are you ignoring that? Not only did he threaten them as he left, he returned and did what he threatened.

[uponit7771]

24. There's no evidence he was and I'm not willing just to make stuff about people

I don't think that is the way DU rolls.

if there was evidence this was rhetoric or policy sponsored terrorism coming from the Trump Administration and one of his sycophants, damn right we be all over this tragedy.

That's been my experience

2. Kick for exposure

You are right about the lack of care and sympathy for this sweet child.
Rest in peace, sweetie

Poor baby.

[OldEurope]

14. How sad. Don't know how to react. Just ctying.

[smirkymonkey]

16. So sad.

What kind of person stabs a 3-year-old child?

[Tipperary]

21. I know. This bothered me immensely on a number of levels.

Imagine a big man stabbing a small child. It boggles the mind. I hope they bury him under the jail.
