well there you have it folks!!
millions of people out of work and a serious recession and this is all they can give us. just another attractive woman that makes the front page like the news anchorwoman who they reported on a few months back. hundreds of women die or get beaten daily in this country but put the beauty queen on the front page and you’ve got a headline. yet lessor attractive women will be lucky to make the local paper. the common alalogy is simple> would you hire this woman as your secretary? if you owned a magazine, would you want this girl to model your clothes? would you rather date this woman rather a woman who is unattractive? there you go. if you answered yes, you are as naive as the rest who buy this bullcrap the media feeds us. way to go media!! you make news beautifully sickening. no wonder you’re going out of business

I can’t believe what there are idiots like “yer dog gone right!!!” out there. There is so many reasons that this story wouldn’t have made it out there! 1.) She’s latina 2.) She left w/a guy from the club 3.) She worked at payless…But you know what I’m so glad it made the HEADLINES! Only a idiot would miss the point “A young girl is missing and a rich spoiled pervert is associated w/her disappearance and nobody knows where she is!” If this was your daughter wouldn’t you want it to make headlines and have everyone who heard to be praying and searching for her? Who cares how attractive she is. If you had a heart you would pray for her and her family and the grief they must be feeling right now. If you don’t like how the media does things become a freaking reporter and write your own damn stories then. It’s not Laura’s fault she made the headlines! I’m sure she’d rather be at home safe living a normal life w/her family and friends. Don’t ya think!?!

yer dawg gone right: I hope you never have to go through what the Garza’s family is going through right now. I’ve known Laura since she was a little girl. She a wonderful and caring person, loves her mom and two brothers to death. Her mother is so heartbroken. By the way, SHE IS NOT JUST ANOTHER ATTRACTIVE WOMEN, SHE IS SOMEONE’S DAUGHTER, SOMEONE’S SISTER AND SOMEONE’S FRIEND. HER NAME IS LAURA GARZA ESQUIVEL AND SHE IS ONLY 25 YEARS OLD. God Bless you Yer dawg gone right.

Just
Every thanksgiving and christmas I go into the S Bronx to donate to families less fortunate than us, today in fact, I arranged for an Easter Breakfast for all of Troop F and the Garza family that is still in the area with the cooperation, of local businesses and other people who actually take action to assist and thank people for what they do.
What have you done lately besides bi*tch! You want to emulate a government that supports others, get back to us when you do so!
