@tododeku-week day 4: parallels







The body of Molu Zarpeleh, 10, who was reported missing last Thursday night, was recovered from a privately-owned retention pond along 12th Street South around 8:40 a.m. Friday after authorities searched the pond, according to a new release from the City of Brookings.
A tip that Zarpeleh had been pushed into the pond that circulated on social media has been redacted by the tipster, said Chelsea Bakken, public information officer for the City of Brookings. Investigators also reported that tips they received Friday related to circumstances surrounding the incident were not true but won’t state why. Police are ignoring it and ruling it an “accidental drowning but his mother says differently.
“A 10-year-old boy would not just take his sandals off and walk into the water,” she said. “He didn’t know how to swim.”
Brookings police and the Brookings Fire Department searched for Zarpeleh until about 2:30 a.m. Friday before the search was stopped due to safety concerns, poor lighting and murky water, the release states. Searchers used pumps from Brookings Municipal Utilities and Brookings County to remove about 300,000 gallons of water from the pond during the resumed search Friday morning
“Molu died, but I can’t say ‘was’ yet,” Mole said. “He’s my first child. He’s my only son. I don’t want to use the word ‘was.’ I can’t imagine him not living.”
I cannot begin to explain how angry this makes me. He was ten. TEN! And they’re trying to say it was an accident when the kids admitted it wasn’t. I can’t believe this
I made a meme because I was mad I kept getting seaweed.

I don’t think people are understanding that states like Arizona literally reopened things like restaurants during their highest rates of infection they’d experience to date … and it only went up from there … they didn’t wait for a decrease.

the state failed to meet what was considered the standard for reopening which was:
and now many people have died.
It didn’t happen like some of the european reopenings, or even other US reopenings, where there was a legitimate decline. No. there was no valid decline.
This is why Maricopa County, which includes Phoenix, is recording as many as 2,000 cases a day, “eclipsing the New York City boroughs even on their worst days,” warned a Wednesday brief by disease trackers at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.
The governor Doug Ducey literally threw the people of Arizona to the fire and then cried “faulty statistics.” When the hospitals were very obviously already overwhelmed when he forced a reopening and Maricopa Country did not want to reopen.
