Hundreds honour El Paso victim after husband's public invite

Hundreds of people have attended the funeral of El Paso shooting victim Margie Reckard, to honour a woman they had never met.

Having few relatives and feeling alone after her death, Ms Reckard's husband Antonio Basco had welcomed the public in joining him in remembering his companion of 22 years. Los Angeles resident Jordan Ballard, 38, was one of the hundreds of people who braved the 38C heat and travelled from afar to pay their respects to Ms Reckard, 63, who was killed in the massacre on 3 August.Mourners hold hands during the service of Margie Reckard

The service was moved from a funeral home to La Paz Faith Memorial & Spiritual Center to accommodate the crowd.He added:"He [Mr Basco] felt like he was going to kind of just be by himself with this whole thing but it's not so."

Love still conquers all; Antonio was not alone. Why must people open the door for the devil to come in and use them to cause such indescribable pain; making young children orphans, a loving husband, bereft ?

RIP ✟

Rape victim Evelyn Hernández's retrial begins in El SalvadorEvelyn Hernández, 21, was given a 30-year jail sentence after her baby boy was found dead in a septic tank in El Savlador in 2016. Today her re-trial started again after it was put on hold in July. She was a victim of rape. All sorts of stress must be effecting her and her actions. Just the thought of having a baby with the face of the person who raped you must be a torture in itself. 30 years is way too harsh. I am pro life but in the instances of rape, incest, it is not my position to judge someone who went through hell and continues to go through it, that I think is punishment enough. And as she said she would have kept the baby, if she knew she was pregnant.
