Charlottesville tragedy

in #charlottesville7 years ago (edited)

Yesterday was a really sad day in the United States a woman was needlessly killed and a lot of people injured and all of this over hate issues. Let's look at this in a proper perspective, after the event happened a lot of right wing people started posting that it was in reality an anti Trump idiot who had done the killing, based on reports from right wing internet news sources who took the information because the car belonged a few years back to this guy's father. Now this is dangerous you are pointing your finger at someone who had nothing to do with it based solely on rumours, the people who repost these news without validation should stop and think about if they might be damaging an innocent person.

Now the guy who supposedly did it is in reality very right wing so the news posted by the alt right news sources was wrong, this is not the way to go, you have to acknowledge that someone who believes like you do did something this stupid. I think a person with a weak mind can become so estranged by something like white supremasism that he can easily be led to do something like this by just reading articles that hint at doing something like this or maybe listening to radio, podcasts or anything else.

In this case it was a right wing weak minded fool, tomorrow it can be a liberal who also has these type of issues. The problem is that hate can't be managed and people have to cool down about this, you see this isn't only whites who have a supremacist thing, I can bet you some blacks also think they are better than the rest of humanity, some Chinese, Japanese Europeans Russians, Latinos etc. some of them also think this is so, the problem is when you take action and commit violence because of these beliefs, the anti fa are also known to have committed violent acts, so no one can say I am completely without guilt.

Now, when I say this I know there are many if not most people who endorse any of these groups who are actually very normal, peaceful friendly people who have no desire to commit any type of violent act, so I would take this opportunity to ask these type of people who belong to all types of groups from all sides like Mr. Trump said, to just calm your more belligerent members, and show them that the world would be a much better place if we didn't commit acts of violence just for the heck of it.

I frankly don't like these White supremacist groups, yet yesterday I heard one of their members being interviewed before the accident happened and frankly he sounded like a very reasonable person, so I think the bad guys in all groups are actually a minority but it is the majorities obligation to keep this people down so these type of incidents don't happen.

The guy who did this is fucked, he will be charged with a hate crime and will at least be in prison for a long time, all for a dumb idea. Down here in Honduras he wouldn't be alive now, he would have been taken down before the police caught him, because that is how things are, we also have this violence problem and we need to have it fixed.

Sort:  

Hate speech should be banned and forbidden. They only serve to spread prejudice and bigotry.

wait so was it a liberal who drove through a gang of right wing protesters? or the other way round? honestly i havent spent a second researching it/...

I guess you didn't read what I wrote and that is part of the problem, or perhaps I worded it so badly you didn't understand.

a bit of a combination of both. i asked my co-worker about it today. so now i know
