Another mass shooting in the America. The rust belt city of Rochester is now dealing with two young lives lost to gun violence. |
When will it end?
Gun violence never takes a break.
Even in a moment of socially distanced unity, there's violence in the country. A need to do something about gun violence should have happened but it never does. With the utter hypocrisy of Republicans and far-right agitators, the cycle of gun violence will continue on.
They'll offer phony sympathy when it comes to the victims of gun violence. They'll spend time after time telling Americans that "now it isn't the time to talk" and usually throw the "my heart goes out to" and the "thoughts and prayers" nonsense. The National Rifle Association is disgrace. They don't care about gun safety or gun reform. All they care about it keeping more of these weapons of mass destruction on the streets of America.
Jaquayla was a beautiful young woman. |
With the coronavirus pandemic infecting over 8.2 million and killing over 240,000 Americans, we're seeing no end to this because Trump is inconsistent on how to deal with it.
We have unrest in communities. Since Trump and Republicans are running on a "white nationalist" platform, they're resorting to "law and order" as their ploy to blame Joe Biden for the chaos inflected by bad policing and gun violence in the country.
American law enforcement regardless of the opinion still has a job to do. They happened to get comfortable with the perception that they're above the rest. They can do no wrong according to Trump and the far-right. According to Trump, they choke!
The fault of unrest lies on the feet of Democrats says Trump and the far-right.
Well, in Rochester, New York, the mayor Lovely Warren fired her police chief and his deputy out the cannon last week in the wake of the Daniel Prude video. Prude was killed in March by the Rochester Police after they placed a spit bag over his head and pressed their knee on his neck.
That video sparked tension in the city.
Rochester Police dealing with a mass shooting. |
The victims were identified by the junk food media.
Jaquayla Young and Jarvis Alexander were killed after at least "three or four" terrorists were engaged in a gunfight at a house party. Of course, the house party was a violation of the New York state rules on large gathering so of course, it was a super-spreader of the coronavirus.
Not to be knocking folks around but the shooting happened on early Saturday morning and it became the latest mass shooting in the United States.
Interim chief, Capt. Frank Umbrino said at a presser, that fourteen additional shooting victims were taken to local hospitals and two people were injured while fleeing the scene. All the victims were between the ages of 17 and 23 years old.
Jaquayla was a graduate from East High and Jarvis was a graduate of University Prep. They were just innocent victims caught in a crossfire of mass chaos.
Umbrino said a small, invite-only gathering went awry when people from two separate house parties nearby started to "infiltrate" the home where the shooting occurred. Between 100 and 200 attendees gathered at the home in the Marketview Heights neighborhood. An argument escalated and multiple people "took out handguns and starting firing" at each other.
More than 40 rounds were fired by the suspects in the gunfight, which witnesses told police lasted more than a minute. Police recovered one handgun at the scene but do not believe it was one of the weapons used in the shooting.
Umbrino described police officers running toward the scene and carrying wounded to get medical treatment.
"The officers did an outstanding job," Umbrino said.
Jervis has a promising life. |
Umbrino told reporters that New York state has some of the most strict gun laws in the nation but is still replete with gun violence. He said he's "not surprised" by an uptick in violence and criticized a lack of accountability and bail reform measures.
“I’m disgusted," Umbrino said. “If I hear one more politician talk about what we need to do to stop the violence ... quite frankly, I’m going to vomit.
"You have individuals getting locked up for having illegal handguns and being released from custody the next day. That’s disgusting. How does that happen?"
Those involved will face aggravated homicide charges. If caught they will face LIFE in the iron college. The suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Everyday at least 103 people die from gun violence. I can't even tell you how many stories I've missed involving gun violence in the country.
WHEN COPS SEE A BLACK MAN WITH A FIREARM REGARDLESS OF IT BEING LEGAL OR ILLEGAL, THEY AUTOMATICALLY SHOOT THE BLACK MAN. EVEN AN UNARMED BLACK MAN JUST REACHING FOR A WALLET OR A DOOR HANDLE COULD BE KILLED BY THE COPS. NOW A BLACK MAN FLEEING AN ARRESTING OFFICER COULD BE KILLED. WHETHER THEY'RE IN THEIR VEHICLE OR RUNNING FROM THEM. THE COPS WILL SHOOT THE BLACK MAN.
THE POLICE AND JUNK FOOD MEDIA TRY TO MAKE THE VICTIM, "THE BAD GUY" BY BRINGING UP THEIR PAST HISTORY, SOCIAL MEDIA OR FAMILY LIFE.
MANY WHITES (IN LARGE GROUPS) HAVE FIREARMS IN FRONT OF POLICE AND THEY NEVER GET SHOT OR KILLED. WHY AREN'T THEY AFRAID OF THEM?
WHENEVER SOMEONE COMPLAINS ABOUT THE LACK OF BLACK FATHERS, I CONTINUE TO DENOUNCE THIS BULLSHIT. I OFTEN REMIND THEM THAT THE POLICE KILL BLACK FATHERS. THE POLICE LEAVE CHILDREN OF COLOR WITHOUT A BLACK FATHER. AND NO AMOUNT OF MONEY COULD BRING THE PEACE AND TRANQUILITY TO THE FAMILIES OF THOSE KILLED BY THE COPS.
We have unrest in the nation. African Americans, Latinos and Native Americans had enough of the status quo in politics, religion, entertainment and law. The need to change started on May 25, 2020 when a cop placed his knee on the neck of an American citizen. He screamed, "I can't breathe...." and cried for his "mama."
Embattled mayor Lovely Warren faces heat from her police and the constituents. Now a mass shooting happened and folks are losing trust in their local leaders. |
I repeat myself over and over again! I use the same old copy and paste. I hear the same trolls saying that there's nothing we can do. I keep hearing "concern" trolls telling us that it's their own fault for their own deaths. I hear the same old talking points about "good guys with guns" and "god's given rights."
Trump and lawmakers elected to federal office made politics extremely toxic. It's not just the fault of our dear leader and lawmakers, but relentless agitators on the 24/7 cable news channels. They are profiting off division and divisiveness. The internet is also a problem. It's is a breeding ground for potential mass shooters. Facebook, Twitter, Google and other social media outlets have been "ground zero" for disinformation, partisan threats and social activism. Incels and social outcasts find their outlets on sites that inspire them to cause harm to their fellow human beings.
It never happens in your community ... Until it does! Every community in the United States will eventually have a legacy. A legacy of tragedy. Gun violence will affect your town, your family and your life.
The website Officer Down is a memorial to those who were killed in the line of duty. Those who don't get their names mentioned in the junk food media. Also the website the National Gun Violence Memorial also keeps record of the many individuals killed by gun violence.
So I don't want to hear that bullshit about how "guns save lives." They don't. The only thing that survives a gun shooting is the gun.
FOR EVERY BAD COP, THERE WILL BE A DEAD COP!
I DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING ON THE INTERNET OR THE COP'S VERSION.
GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES.
THERE IS NO GOD!
GOD IS NOT FIXING THIS!

We haven't forgotten about the many mass shootings in the United States. COVID-19 doesn't stop individuals from picking up firearms and killing others.

When Black people are killed by gun violence, how does the media portray the victims?
