Consider needing to take care of a 40 year-old man with the mental capacity of a child while you're in your 70s. It would literally never end, nowadays they'd outlive you. Sounds absolutely horrific.
Because the Arabs castrated them.
They had the scrotums and penises of African slaves amputated to prevent them from reproducing.
Arab-Muslims ran the largest slave trade in history. And they are still kidnapping Africans and selling them as slaves to this day.
@deceased_wife Thank you Norton but in the future it would be more accurate to address me as "superstar". Again, not a big deal but just something to keep in mind thanks
Luis Alvarez spent three months at Ground Zero searching through rubble for survivors after 9/11. Eighteen years later, he spent his final days fighting for the people who had done the same.
He testified before Congress while dying, went into hospice the next day, and was dead within weeks.
Alvarez was born in Cuba, grew up in Queens, served in the Marines, and then spent two decades as a detective with the NYPD.
After the towers fell he spent three months working in the rubble, searching for survivors and human remains.
In 2016 he was diagnosed with colorectal cancer that spread to his liver. He underwent 69 rounds of chemotherapy. He never stopped working.
On June 11, 2019, he testified before Congress alongside Jon Stewart in support of permanently reauthorising the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund, which was running out of money.
The day after his testimony, his doctors told him there was nothing more they could do. He entered hospice care shortly afterwards.
His final words to Congress: "You all said you would never forget. Well, I'm here to make sure that you don't."
He died on June 29, 2019, aged 53, survived by his wife and three sons aged 14, 19, and 29.
As of the time of his testimony, more than 12,500 cases of cancer had been linked to Ground Zero exposure.
The fund he fought for was permanently reauthorised through 2090, three weeks after his passing. He never saw it pass.
@deloware_pointl 69 rounds?? Yeah, I remember seeing this guy, turning around and fleeing *out* while (heh whilst) I was flying, *into* the 9/11 towers.
