    Edit: Just looked into it: "Rs. 5,25,000" means five Lakh and 25,000 rupees. A Lakh is worth 100,000 so the total amount is worth around 8k.

              Ayla Stewart is now--and very deservedly--on the SPLC's radar:

              Hundreds of Alt-Right activists and white nationalist extremists are set to descend on the small community of Charlottesville, Virginia, on Saturday in what’s shaping up to be the largest hate-gathering of its kind in decades in the United States.

                I didn't see this at first. I know this kid's dad a little bit. Sad story with a [hopefully] happy ending.
                Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

                  I know I'm late to the party but I had no idea of her backstory until this afternoon. I can't imagine her sticking with Mormonism much longer (unless she wants to go fundamentalist).

                      I'm not sure that there are many people that care so much for attention that they are willing to be a white supremacist just for the attention. I think she actually believes this shit.

                      She has also now made her twitter private, which seems inconsistent with the she wants attention narrative.

                        The Silver Fox goes sans tie while visiting Houston. Female Houstonian members were known to swoon.

                            Evie's mom was in my stake in high school. Her grandma was my seminary teacher for a semester.

                            Her most recent performance on AGT was actually really good.
