HOLLYWOOD IDIOT RESPONSIBLE FOR FATAL CAR CRASH

   Earlier this week, the news broke that entertainment-media figure Kylie Rae Harris was killed in a car crash near Taos, New Mexico. She was a Country Music singer; also a heroic single mother, a wino, and given to weird emotional outbursts and other narcissistic behaviors. All of this is fairly standard for American celebrities these days, but what was surprising was the statement issued by Taos County Sheriff Jerry Hogrefe: “At this time I will say with most certainty Miss Cruz was an innocent victim of this senseless crash caused by Ms. Harris.”

   The 'Miss Cruz' to whom the Sheriff refers was Maria Elena Cruz---a young woman of 16 who was killed in the collision. But since she wasn't a celebrity and just a normal American girl, the Media didn't give her death much thought. The surprising thing in the Sheriff's statement was that he actually held a media figure responsible. As we all know, in today's America, celebrities get a free pass from law enforcement even when they cause somebody else's death. 

   And this is true of the Media, too. In researching this article, we went through the first 12 pages of a Google Search and so far haven't found one news story where Maria Elena Cruz was mentioned in the headlines. Kylie Rae Harris, in contrast, has several stories paying her tribute and engaging in national mourning; and showing photos of her fans slobbering in front of the cameras. There's even a GoFundMe link to support her now-orphaned daughter on page 4 of the search results even though she's inheriting an estate worth nearly 1 million dollars. Those of us little people in flyover country are expendable anyway; according to the thinking of the Elites who populate the fringes of our country (both the geographical and the psychological fringes). 

   We're going to tell a side of the story here that isn't told: that is, about the real people involved in these circumstances. 


   Maria Elena Cruz was 16 years old when she died. She was about to start her Junior year at Taos High School and was working during the Summer as a waitress at the Guadalajara Grill. She was evidently quite popular at her school and generally well-liked. Her former 5th-Grade teacher posted this on Facebook earlier today:


“I sent the following message earlier this evening to my former EGES 5th grade DL students who are now Taos High School Juniors, in the wake of the tragic loss of their beloved classmate, and my student, Maria Elena Cruz! I had purposely sent it to them as a PM in hopes that they would feel free to express themselves in private, which they did and are. I have since decided to share my message to my former DL students, on my FB wall to bring light to the fact that even though the tragic loss of this beautiful, intelligent, kind, hard working, and inspirational Teen won’t make the FOX and CNN syndicated news, Maria was also treasured, loved, and admired by all who met her. Her tragic death has impacted many young lives, former teachers, her beloved parents and little sister. A life with a future only a few can begin to dream of was cut short through not fault of her own! How many innocents have to die at the hands of someone who chooses to drink and drive before we open our eyes to this cruel and senseless act.”



    Maria Elena's father, Pedro Cruz, is the Deputy Fire Marshal in San Cristobal. He was one of the team of first responders who arrived at the scene of the fatal crash. I can't imagine what he must have felt: he had no idea that his daughter was involved in the wreck until he arrived there. A Funeral Mass is scheduled for Tuesday Afternoon.

     

    
      It's unknown whether Maria Elena was dating or not; but I'm confident that she had some male admirers. On the larger sociological scale, though, this is why the loss of someone like her impacts our culture as a whole. Our girls and young women are the future mothers, teachers, and caregivers of our next generation. They are of much greater value to society than the phony 'role-models' held up by Hollywood Trash Culture. 

   Though not publicized in the press, Maria Elena has a GoFundMe page to help her family during this time. The town of San Cristobal announced that the fundraising dinner planned for the Community Center earlier today had been changed to raise funds for the Cruz Family. For those living in New Mexico, donations can also be dropped off in person at the Taos County Fire and EMS Office, located near the Holy Cross Hospital at 1397 Weimer Road.

  1. Very moving & tragic story - and beautifully told. The senseless deaths caused by drinking & driving need no further explanation - the truth is very obvious, but no less sad for that....

    1. Yes---what's especially galling is the double-standard that the Media (and law enforcement) has for this issue. When a great person like Maria Elena is the victim of some celebrity, they ignore them and apologize for their fellow-elite. If an ordinary citizen gets involved in DUI fatality, the Press and Legal Establishment are ruthless; but celebrities who cause deaths and injuries get a free pass.

  2. This is the Anonymous from the recent WCJD case. This is a beautiful, sensitive piece. You're more of a journalist than many journalists.
    I read either in Sham: How the Self-Help Movement Made America Helpless or One Nation Under Therapy that someone was being asked about drunk driving and/or not being so judgmental, and she said, "I think drunk driving is an excellent thing to stigmatize." I don't understand how society speaks of the greater good but is so focused on not making people feel bad about choices even for a split second that it doesn't see how the latter negatively affects the former. Why do you think celebrities continually get off so easy for what would put us in jail?
