Roundup July 7th 2016 is Another Round of Bad News. Violence Continues to Push its way to Forefront.
Posted by HCN on Friday, July 8, 2016
Where should one start, violence in the U.S., violence in the Middle East? Violence in altercations with police, or violence in the Midwest where females are being set on fire by other males after a social encounter?
It sounds like a sarcastic byline to get attention.
The painful truth is, it is the fact of the matter.
All over media webpages as we speak are uproar over a few African American males shot by police.
The suicide blast blaringly close to the Prophet's Masjid, in Arabic tongue Masjid Al Nabawi, in Saudi Arabia, a major holy site, that took place around the day before Eid in Ramadhan was just too much for many to emotionally accept. The incident tipped all the scales in terms of putting a perspective on suicide blasts and attacks using terrorism that have been occurring in recent months.
There have been protests in other locations that deserve worldwide media attention; such as France over labor laws, the UK over Brexit, and teacher strikes that have been blamed to have a side effect that includes food shortage to the extent food has to be airdropped while death tolls stemming from the violence is between 5 to 10 persons in Mexico.
Before ending this roundup, we have to go back to the U.S., just a relatively short ride north, Thursday July 7th on, around, or before midnight, in Dallas, Texas, 3 officers killed, the result of clashes and protests over the subject of persons being shot especially recently by police. Alarming, is that there are reports that officers were shot from 'elevated positions'. Detroit comes to mind, in that regard, and in regard to destructive Detroit riots about 50 years ago.
The situation is unfortunately predictable, in that the cycle of protests that have been occurring in the U.S. in the last couple of years, have been over the subject of an African American male, usually somewhere between age 15 and 30, that was shot by police. Recently, a male in Louisiana, reference Sterling, and reference Castile in Minnesota, are cases. The police have been busy the last couple of years in at least one of 2 locations, especially in areas with higher concentrations of African Americans, namely Minneapolis. It is not a situation of peace, peace, then suddenly and anomaly of a police confrontation; crime has been running rampant; the mess starts getting messy, it is what it is, no bias involved in bringing forward the facts.
Not leaving out, there have been police officers shot, such as in Houston, within the past couple of years.
The tug of war, back and forth debate over what side has a more rightful balance keeps presenting.
One line before ending this roundup for July 7th, 2016, which in regard to tug of wars between protestors and police over the use of force, might pass for July 1965, where on August 11 within weeks later was the Watts Riots, as well as other riots in other areas of the U.S. hitting a high point, which is the question has got to be asked, how far have we, the U.S., gone in moving ourselves upward from these kinds of tensions, how much progress made, give a point in history such as the Draft Riots in New York in the Civil War era, or since the abolishment of segregation in schools? Not long ago was a case in Ferguson, Missouri, and the case in Baltimore, last name Gray the detainee, that had ramifications of civil unrest. Tipping point might be the buzzword, then it might not be all alone or sole factor of unrest in some cases.
Also not leaving out recent senseless murders, where for instance, two siblings were shot evidently over a t-shirt.
There is no proactive effort to play into peoples' emotions, or hit emotional chords in writing the articles at HCN, the effort is to keep them as concise as possible; and even if there was, it is not clear whether some of the people that need to be urgently addressed have the slightest respect for for some of the axioms from hundreds of years that have been put in our pages; if they did, setting females on fire after leaving a bar would not be an occurrence that has recurred too frequently. The closing statement for this roundup is, where are the protests, the herd of cameras, the national attention, thousands of protestors through the night, for the woman that was taken out into field by not one, but two young men as reported by major sources, in the wee hours of morning and dumped in an Indian Reservation area of Montana, exact order of events not in detail here, the victim has succumbed, had gasoline poured on her, then set on fire?
