For the first time that I can think of, a message flashed across my television screen Sunday night that wasn't warning of inclement weather.
Instead, the message had to do with a young Menands boy who had gone missing. 7 year old Harbe Nagi, diagnosed as being autistic & non-verbal, had wandered off from his parents. Nearly 48 hours later, young Harbe was found dead as a result of drowning in a neighbor's swimming pool.
Following is a report from WNYT.
Funeral services will take place later this week. While the entire community is mourning Harbe, some goober decided to play Ugly American, and use the tragedy to make some racist statements.
Chuck Miller's take:
A Taste of Italy and its black heart – Chuck The Writer
A Taste of Italy, which has been a sponsor of Siena University basketball, may be losing that sponsorship unless the truth about the social media kerfluffle comes out soon. Redditors are already ripping into the restaurant, and are planning a peaceful protest not too far from the eatery in Latham. I should point out that Jesus taught us to love, not hate, and that he did not have hate in His heart for anyone. To suggest that He "doesn't like ugly" is missing the point by a country mile.
Rest in peace, Harbe.
