Blame 'Toxic Empathy' For Laken Riley's Murder w/ Allie Beth Stuckey – Ask Dr. Drew

Laken Riley's killer was convicted of murder, but he never should have been there in the first place. If Jose Ibarra had been prevented from entering the USA illegally in 2022, Laken would still be alive today. Why does this keep happening? ••「 LINKS & SOURCES」•• The empathy of good people is being manipulated by activists and extremists who yell words like "tolerance" or "justice" to bully others into compliance.
