Narrative shift in Albuquerque

Just a couple days ago, there was a serial killer hunting Muslim men in Albuquerque: "Series of Killings of Muslim Men in Albuquerque Sends Fear Through the Community"
President Joe Biden said he was “angered and saddened” by the killings and that his administration “stands strongly with the Muslim community.”

“These hateful attacks have no place in America,” Biden said Sunday in a tweet.

The conversation about safety has also dominated WhatsApp groups and email groups that Almontaser is on.

“What we’ve seen happen in New Mexico is very chilling for us as a Muslim minority community in the United States that has endured so much backlash and discrimination” since the 9/11 attacks, she said. “It’s frightening.”

Watch this story go straight down the memory hole.
