Around the end of this upcoming week, beginning of next week, depending on what you recognize as the start of the week, the G20 Summit is set to take place in Hangzhou, China.

After Hurricane Katrina almost exactly eleven years to this date in August of 2005, a huge roll-out of drama, investigations, and efforts at implementing ingenuity skills to prevent disaster to infrastructure occurred.
It was ongoing for years, even today, the Katrina storm system that hit the southern region of the U.S., is used as a model situation for improvements to severe storm preparedness.
Since the Katrina event, there have been other storms, leading up to today.
In Louisiana, in the aftermath of recent flooding, kids are walking around in the region with no place to stay.

Two areas that need addressing.  One is the preparedness to protect, preserve, and preclude damage to main sources of survival, such as food and shelter; and second, in a fusion with first, is the preparedness of what everyone in the area is going to do if they are affected by a severe storm.  It is a fusion, partly because had the first set of preparedness been more highly developed, then there might be less of a need for the preparedness in the aftermath; simply put, if their house was not destroyed, they might not have to undergo looking for a place to stay.

Simple timeline for the past few weeks in 2016:

Earlier today at about 1:50pm, E.S.T., in Queens, New York, Imam Maulama Akonjee, and Thara Uddin, were fatally shot within a few blocks of Masjid.  The location of the shooting where they were approached from behind was about at 79th and Liberty in the Ozone Park area.  The nearby Masjid, Al Furqan Jame [pronounced closer to Jami'ee], is very near Glenmore and 77th.  The likelihood that some kind of videos, photos, or footage of the incident will emerge is present, especially considering the popularity of New York.

Both victims were men over 50.


At the basketball court of the Abu Bakr Islamic Center on International Boulevard in Tukwila, Washington, somewhere between about 8:30pm to 8:45pm local time, August 7th 2016, Sunday evening, an altercation wound up in the stabbing of a security guard.

Abu Bakr Center is near Route 5 and 599 Intersection, 3 miles south of the major airport, and about 5 from Seattle.

The security guard is in somewhat stable condition.  The incident is a bewilderment as to how it escalated to that level.


In New York, outside the Muslim Community Center in Brooklyn, Sunset Park area, Sunday July 3rd, 2016, at least one teenager suffered a horrendously bad eye injury after being beaten.  What all the circumstances were for that particular event, we do not have all the details at this moment.  Whether there was direct provocation or insinuation from the teens is being looked into by authorities.  Nevertheless, the teens did not have an upper-hand, as the man that struck them had about 20 years in age on them.


Madrasah Islamiah in Houston Texas, right down the street, a doctor was ambushed by 3 persons and shot in the yard of his house, Sunday morning, July 3rd 2016.


Fort Pierce Islamic Center, Florida, after late night prayers and opportunity for such Friday July 1, 2016 which might have carried over to early Saturday morning, near the last 7 days of the month of Ramadhan, popularly known as a month of fasting in Islam, in the wee hours of the morning, perhaps about 3am to 4:30am, a man was punched at least once causing bodily injury outside the Masjid,  It is a known practice for Muslim worshipers to spend longer hours in the Masjid during Ramadhan.  The affront comes when young men in their early or middle twenties attempt to seize the opportunity to predate on worshipers.  One of them had a stable-minded rationale for being at the Masjid, and one of them was behaving in an unusual manner in sitting in a vehicle at 3am then in sequence exiting the vehicle to exacerbate a misadventure through use of violence for someone attending the Masjid.
It is also a known fact that the United States is a country where you are free to practice your beliefs, as the behavior you engage in is in acceptable limits.  Praying in a Masjid is clearly within acceptable limits.  There are extremes that have existed in cult groups practicing religions like 'Satanism', where members go so far as to ritually slay another human being, then claim it was done in the name of religion; obviously that is not acceptable.  There is no excuse, not take prayers back to one side of the Atlantic, that allows for brazen assaults to someone that has not done anything to you.

Shooting at police officers is futile, meaning it does not have an effect, on solving 'racially' related problems. Peace and direct behests and requests to stop assaults aimed at police has been called for by relatives of victims and by the top of Government.
In Baton Rouge, Louisiana today, 3 police officers are now deceased, with a high probability there can be connections drawn to 'racial' tension, unrest, and protesting, this adds to 5 police officers that were fatalities in Dallas, Texas amidst protesting on July 7th, 2016.

The above was [part of] a news site byline set July 17, 2016 in the red box reserved for extremely important messages at the top of the main page.

Reasons why assaulting police officers over 'racial' issues is ineffective:

Over and over again, it has been proven that looks from the outside does not always fit in to stereotypes about a person's bloodline, ancestry, history, genealogy, heritage and culture.

On July 7th, 2016, in Dallas, after what is being assessed as a possible tirade aimed at police as a reaction to the incidents where 2 men were killed by police in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and in Minneapolis, Minnesota within recent days before, a few of the police officers that were victims in Dallas, Texas, have a slim likelihood they would mark solely a 'white' box as a 'racial' category to describe themselves.
How can that be any kind of payback for lost lives for instance from African Americans in the population?
Families of the victims have to suffer mental anguish for the rest of their lives, and carry that forth in almost all that they do, which could be another 80 years or more.

There are some nations and societies that exist today that have no idea what the racial system of 'black, white' and other color descriptions such as these is all about; it simply does not make any sense to them and for substantiated reasons.  For example, there are many cases where a family, both parents remaining the same, has a set of children where each child looks different, different hair, different skin, different perspectives on social matters, and thus, skin alone does not separate them, in that they remain having the same parents; so what sense does it make to divide them up in larger society?

There are many police officers from a wide spectrum of ancestral lines, that work extremely hard at protecting the lives of all citizens from a vast spectrum of ancestral lives, without ever giving a thought to 'raciality' as a factor in how well they should perform their jobs.

A danger has been identified in post-police killing rallies and protests, that such events might form a trap that could endanger police.

Each man, when he faces judgement, faces his or her judgement in regard to deeds, actions, intentions, and thoughts performed, alone; not with their brother, or sister, or parent by their side.  If someone is guilty of racial prejudice, bias, discrimination, unfair 'raciality', then it is that particular individual, not the whole police force, not the whole military, not every citizen of the U.S., not every leader in the U.S.

Propagation of 'raciality' and 'racial' profiling continues, when a racially motivated killing occurs, even if it was to retaliate for another perceived 'racially' motivated killing or unfair lack of mercy to the victim.  There are areas of law enforcement that could be ideal to be further developed, and researched into, instead, a focus on dealing with a spiral of events that ramify from skin descriptions continues, when there is the continuation of crimes where skin descriptions is the theme.

Why is 'race, racial, raciality' and these terms put in quotes?  'Race' in reality, really does not have all that much to do with humans in the first place.  Today the word is spoken with slang and implied use, but in reality, race has to do with animals plants, which humans have been elevated over.  For example, cows could be in the race category of four-legged animals, while birds are in the category with winged beings.  Humans are humans; so a 'racial' category was given to one man one day in one area of the U.S., and it pervaded through his prodigy, while a different 'race' was given to another man in another location, and come to find out they were blood brothers.  Why should their children fight, because one had a fairer skin tone and had a police uniform on, and the other had a tough time economically for a few years; this especially does not make any sense when they in turn have kids and the fairer skinned man's children look just like his brother, and the brother's kids look just like their uncle.


What other nations view of the U.S. as the topography of our nation, does not need to be a coast to coast splash of racially based tension and violence that appears to consume our nation and be almost the only major development going on.


Shootings and assaults being futile means the shootings of police officers did not and will not accomplish anything toward improving togetherness in our Nation.
