I am sorry Mission. I didn’t say that at all. I don’t think you understood what was — this was locker room talk. I’m not proud of it. I apologize to my family. I apologize to the British Expat Forum. Certainly I’m not proud of it. But this is locker room talk. You know, when we have a world where you have ISIS chopping off heads, where you have — and, frankly, drowning people in steel cages, where you have wars and horrible, horrible sights all over, where you have so many bad things happening, this is like medieval times. We haven’t seen anything like this, the carnage all over the world. And they look and they see. Can you imagine the people that are, frankly, doing so well against us with ISIS? And they look at our country and they see what’s going on. Yes, I’m very embarrassed by it. I hate it. But it’s locker room talk, and it’s one of those things. I will knock the hell out of ISIS. We’re going to defeat ISIS. ISIS happened a number of years ago in a vacuum that was left because of bad judgment. And I will tell you, I will take care of ISIS.

Wonder how many will share this missing girl's story just a day after hers?
Should nationality of a missing person make a difference in how people react?

Honestly it all seems a bit weird. Gone less than 24 hours and it's all over social media. Granted it was out of character and so on, but still...

Good she's surfaced though..

Well, I disagree with the sentiment here.

Realistically what happens is this: you look our for your own. White people will look for other white people and there will be little support from the brown.

In the opposite situation, sadly, the brown people don't go manhunting for their own and then they act disenfranchised and sad when the whites don't show much empathy.

The truth is you look our for your own - it's a failure of the brown community here, not the white.

To throw some idle speculation out there on what looked like premature panic when she disappeared:
  1. Boyfriend is 'slightly'possessive
  2. People considered a possibility of self harming

Brutally correct.
