Tennessee Baby Still Missing in Racist Home Invasion Case

This baby is an American citizen, not “American” property. This case, horrific as it is, is not unique, and hateful anti-immigration rhetoric is going to encourage more copycat actions. Immigrant bashing on corporate radio and television has real consequences.

Gurrolla said she did not see the woman take the baby because she ran to a neighbor’s home for help. That neighbor, Eric Peterson, told The Associated Press that Gurrolla banged on his door and was “covered from her head to her toe with blood,” with gashes on her neck and upper chest.She pleaded with him to rescue her children from the “lady in the kitchen” who had a butcher knife. He went to the home a few doors down and saw a woman speeding away. He brought Gurrolla’s daughter back safely to his house, but found no baby.
