Episode 0111: California Mass Shootings

Gun violence takes a daily toll in California, but the brutality, scale and pace of the past week has felt different. In the course of just eight days, at least 25 people were killed in four separate mass shootings, defined as any shooting in which at least four people are injured. Older suspects in California shootings defy typical mass shooter profile The killings – which cut across a big city, a placid Los Angeles suburb, and two small farming towns – have left residents shaken, exhausted and afraid, and renewed calls for some kind of fundamental change. Let's Talk About Asian on Asian Crime No Black or White Body To Blame this time. Stop Asian Hate is more about symbolism, than real change. Thoughts and prayers are with the victims.

Between March 19 and December 31, 2020, there were more than 2,808 “firsthand accounts of anti-Asian hate,” according to a report by Stop AAPI Hate, an organization that has been tracking reports on anti-Asian violence — a 150 percent rise since 2019. From being barred from establishments to being spat or coughed on, Asian Americans have reported physical and verbal harassment throughout the pandemic, as they’ve been used as a xenophobic scapegoat for the spread of a virus that originated in China. As cited from www.vox.com Let’s Take Em To Church Whether you're an Asian, black, brown or purple we are all God's people and must find a way to live with each other in harmony and peace love and self-respect.
