Why? It’s an innocent man that was brutally murdered for doing his job. What is there not to be outraged about?

Because Boko Haram is still kidnapping and killing innocents with no marches or threats from Congress, yet we have outrage and cries that there should be repercussions against a country because a guy who ran afoul of the government was killed.

Tell me, when do we invade to eliminate Boko Haram and where is the cry about that? Oh wait, it cant be used against Trump so who cares?

It’s different when it’s supposed to be a friendly country vs a terrorist group. Would you be more angry if your friend stole your wallet or just some random person?

That was horrible and she should have had to resign. How about Otto Warmbier and Trump's complacency and his cowardice of not addressing his torture and death at the hands of Kim Jong un and NK? He becomes best buddies with this murderer of Americans and says "I like him" "He's a great guy"

Id be more angry at my friend. However this situation is more like a coworker you dont really like but have to work with getting in a fight with someone you have met once. Then having people fuss at us for not policing that person while in plain view a group of people are attacking everyone and no one cares.

SA is not a friendly country, just all we have besides Israel.
 
I just realized we have an abortion ban amendment on the ballot in Alabama. Vote yes for amendment 2, which: "recognizes and supports the sanctity of unborn life and the rights of unborn children, including the right to life" and to state that no provisions of the constitution provide a right to an abortion or require funding of abortions.

I don’t follow your analogy at all.

SA killed and innocent man and lied to our faces about it. Unacceptable.
 
We don't do business with Boko Haram. We do A LOT of business with Saudi Arabia. We don't have to after they murdered an innocent journalist.
The Saudis also murdered thousands on 9/11. But $$$ means more than anything to the government.

You are right. And we should not do business with people like this.

My point is this, Boko Haram is still killing people, yet no body cares. I dont give a rip about SA. However SA can be used politically and that is why this matters to so many. It is hypocritical for our politicians to pretend to care about the issue with SA and go mum about the many others killing in the regions.
