El Paso shooting: 20 dead in ‘evil act of violence’ at Texas Walmart as police probe ‘hate crime’

Suspect believed to have posted racist, anti-Hispanic manifesto online 

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/el-paso-shooting-latest-patrick-crusius-death-toll-walmart-texas-a9038426.html

Authorities in Texas are quizzing a 21-year-old white man – suspected of posting a racist “manifesto” online – believed to be responsible for a gun attack on a shopping centre that killed 20 people and which police said was the “nexus of a hate crime”.

Video phone footage taken inside a mall in El Paso showed people running in fear for their lives after the shooter entered a Walmart store with a semiautomatic weapon and opened fire. In addition to the 20 fatalities, at least two-dozen people were injured in the latest incident of gun violence to scar the nation.

It appears the suspected shooter – named by multiple media accounts as Patrick Crusius – drove up to 10 hours from Alen, a town near Dallas, to target the store in El Paso, a city on the border with Mexico that has long been a home to immigrants. An online posting apparently written several days ago, said the attack was a response to the “Hispanic invasion of Texas”.

Each pair of the Kyrie 5 'SpongeBob SquarePants' is suited for on-court competition and off-court jellyfishing.

Las Cholitas Voladoras 

https://www.thisiscolossal.com/2019/08/wrestlers-todd-antony/?fbclid=IwAR0G5HY2o_PSwODH7C2t4BMJjIQLxczlMDloKLQSyNnR3wGoD1goLGail1c

Photographer Todd Antony (previously) documents Bolivia’s best-dressed wrestlers in a new series, Flying Cholitas. The women, who are indigenous Aymara, compete in their sport wearing voluminous petticoats, colorful skirts, and long-sleeved lacy tops rather than in the minimal, form-fitting spandex worn by many athletes around the world.

These ensembles resemble ones that Aymara were expected—sometimes even required—to wear during five centuries of oppression under Spanish occupiers. The wrestlers wear these ensembles to show pride in their history and take back their visibility. Similarly, the identifier “cholita,” originally a derogatory term, has been reclaimed in recent years by indigenous Bolivians as a point of pride.

If you’re curious to see the athletes in action, Luisa Dörr and Michael James Johnson were commissioned by Apple to shoot a short documentary on the flying cholitas, which you can watch below. Aymara architect Freddy Mamani has also championed indigenous Bolivian aesthetics with his buildings, which we’ve covered previously on Colossal.

The nickname the pope that is mentioned in the link is very similar to my brother. His name is also John Paul so me and my other brother used to call him George we only stopped when he got married so it wouldn't confuse his kids . Not a nickname as such but there was a character in the tv show Budgie called Laughing Spam Fritter that's class ha ha.
