Los Angeles County will bury 1,430 individuals in a mass grave Wednesday.

“This holiday season, many of us are reminded how fortunate we are to be surrounded by loved ones,” Supervisor Don Knabe said at a gathering at the downtown Hall of Administration on the eve of the burial. “Sadly, not everyone shares this blessing.”

Sadly, they aren't needed any longer after voting for HRC posthumously.
 
Stay classy :roll:
 
And of course you can prove that other cities in the US dont do the same thing right?
 
There's something about a "mass grave" that makes me think of really bad things like victims of dictators and drug cartels. Wonder why they don't cremate instead.

Two possibilities. Either you were trying for levity, or you were being serious and acting like a partisan jerk. If it was the former, you pulled it off, poorly, and you really need to learn your audience and your venue better: don't quit your day job. If it was the latter, you did an excellent job at presenting like a partisan jerk. Good job.

Sometimes the most inappropriate jokes are the funniest, though CC. The ones you feel guilty about laughing about and I admit that I've laughed at things far more offensive.

Depends on the joke, of course, the audience, the venue, the context, etc...

True, but sometimes the most darkly funny comments happen when everything you've mentioned is all wrong. I mean really, what is it about this thread that makes it feel like a greater sensitivity is required? Not asking you specifically. Just something I'm questioning in my own mind.

From the article

The county generally holds the cremated remains for about two years before burial.

Unclaimed dead who died alone without anyone caring for them around, even enough for a funeral. That and the idiotic hack comment made a bad combination.
 
If you didn't gather up a bunch of "unknowns", you wouldn't be having to bury them in mass graves..

They would have been buried by their families back home if you didn't lure them to the LAND OF THE FREEstuff..

And as is typical of you, your comment has no relevance and is complete nonsense. Good job.

Ok, thank you. That makes more sense. The article title is highly misleading, IMO, which is probably why it's a good idea to actually read the article itself.

And as is typical of horse in blinders political tunnelvision..

Would it have been better if he'd said they were Trump voters?

Excellent job at projection. Really superb. Now, I'd ask you to demonstrate some sense in your original post in this thread, but you and I both know that you are incapable of doing so. It is amusing watching you flail, though.

Hey X... it's 8 AM EST here. Bad night of insomnia... haven't slept, yet. I'm really not in the mood to play a game of political hack "gotcha". If you have to ask me that question... knowing me... then you're trying to play a game. Go play the game with Orly. I'm SURE you can trap him.

Is their substance in this post I can't find?

Of course there is. The substance is in pointing out the lack of substance in your posts in this thread and challenging you to do better.

Ok, now I have read it and nothing in the article even makes mention that all, most, or even some being illegal immigrants. Besides, even if we go ahead and assume it's true for the sake of the argument, many people who flee their country do so because of the threat of violence against them and this was their best hope to not be buried in any grave.

U.S. Immigrant Population by State and County | migrationpolicy.org

LA= THE top county in nation for amount if immigrants..

10.2MM immigrants living in Ca, highest in nation..

You think this has nothing to do with their being a whole lot of "unknowns"?

I said BETTER, Orly... not worse. See, you make a "does not follow" logical fallacy, here. Unless you can actually connect the dots between immigrants being the "unknowns" you have nothing. How about running the numbers and seeing what the the homeless population is in LA County. Betcha it'd be towards the top. See? That's a different and far more plausible connection.
 
Highest immigration rate, sanctuary city, bunch of unknown dead..

If you don't see a connection here you need a new meter..
