Florida files indictment against Andrew Tate and his brother

The influencer Andrew Tate, who's notoriously a convert to Islam, and recently supported Hamas, is now facing charges of abuse in the state of Florida:

Florida has opened a criminal investigation into Andrew Tate and Tristan Tate after the brothers arrived in the state last week. The Tates had left Romania after the country lifted travel restrictions on them following an indictment.

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier revealed the investigation during remarks to a reporter on Tuesday afternoon.

“These guys have themselves publicly admitted to participating in what very much appears to be soliciting, trafficking, preying upon women around the world, many of these victims coming forward, some of them minors,” he said. “You know, people can spin or defend however they want, but in Florida, this type of behavior is viewed as atrocious. We’re not going to accept it.”

“They chose to come here and set their feet down in this state, and we’re going to pursue every tool we have within our legal authority to hold them accountable,” he continued. “So we are in the process today, we have secured and executed subpoenas and warrants, and we’re going to continue to move forward with full force of law.”

This can be a good way to make clear conservatives don't find these two monsters even remotely acceptable. It wouldn't be shocking if the other Tate were also a convert to Islam. They should serve a prison sentence for their crimes, though it's regrettable that so far, any connections they have to the Religion of Peace are being obscured. That's wrong, and anybody who cares should point out that most disturbing detail about them.

A Song for Rifqa

FOX is reporting that the Florida investigators claim to have found "no evidence of a threat" to the life of Rifqa Bary if she returns to her family in Ohio. Hey, no evidence of conspiracy was found at the Noor Mosque ("who, us?"), the Barys deny that they have any intention of harming their daughter ("who, us?"), and Muhammad Bary denies he ever slapped his daughter upside the head for being reluctant to wear the hijab in public ("who, me?").

I hope and trust that Rifqa's legal and support team have been prepared for such a development and that there are still some brave souls amongst the Florida authorities who will not conclude that this relieves them of the responsibility to ensure Rifqa's safety.

I'm dedicating this song, "Braver Than We Are", by Jim Steinman to Rifqa. And to all of us.
