There has been a steady increase of hate crimes since Trump taking office, and there can be little doubt that Trump’s rhetoric and his hate towards immigrants, whether being in the country legally or not, has made these people feeling entitled to “help Trump” getting rid of everyone who does not happen to be a white American. Hate towards immigrants is also the major reason for Trump’s election result.This “helping Trump” phenomenon has resulted in various types of crimes, from simple harassment to murders. The latest example was reported by the BBC. Here’s the story: Olathe shooting: Murder charge after Indian man killed in bar
Police are investigating whether the fatal shooting of a man in the US state of Kansas was racially motivated. Three men were wounded in the shooting at a bar in Olathe on Wednesday night and one of them later died. A barman told local media a man used racial slurs before opening fire. Two of the victims, including the deceased, are Indian, the BBC has learned. Adam Purinton, 51, has been charged with murder and the FBI is investigating motive. Srinivas Kuchibhotla, 32, died while his friend Alok Madasani, 32, remains in hospital in a stable condition. The two men were engineers at Garmin and studied in India, according to their social media profiles. The other injured man, Ian Grillot, 24, had apparently intervened to stop the violence, according to witnesses. Speaking from his hospital bed, he told KBMC: "A lot of people are calling me a hero and this and that and the other - and it's not like that. "I was just doing what anyone should have done for another human being. It's not about where he's from or his ethnicity. We're all humans. So I just felt I did what was naturally right to do." Mr Purinton is accused of shooting customers at Austin's Bar and Grill as they watched the University of Kansas basketball team play on television. CNN wrote: Purinton has been charged with one count of premeditated first-degree murder and two counts of attempted premeditated first-degree murder. His bond has been set at $2 million. It's unclear whether he's retained a lawyer or entered a plea. Witnesses say Purinton told the men to "get out of my country" before he shot them, the paper reported. |

ReplyDeletePropaganda flows on all sides and is there to chose when you need to support your ideology or need a topic for debate. Currently, the Liberals are in disarray. They are not focused and they have no platform. The protests will not garner the support they hope to achieve and will alienate their base in the end. Trump has the bully pulpit, an enviable position, and a unique support system. The electorate represented the silent majority and Trump must follow through with his promises to retain his base. Your blog provides fodder for chatter and allows you to express your discontent. However, it does not speak for a very large audience.
The potential audience would be 65 million Americans, who voted for Hillary. That is if all 65mill knew where to find the truth. You can also add 15-20 mill Canadians and approx. 250Mill Europeans. Trump's support with the American people is dwindling. But in order to understand this, one must read a wide specter of news media, as I have pointed out earlier. The truth is not to find at Breitbart or "The American Patriot" and such. Since you have a link to the Huff-Post about Trudeau, I happen to know that his approval rating is right there where most of his predessessors have been after 15 months in office. Trudeau's approval rating is at 48%. And regardless of that I can say that Trudeau knows how to behave himself, which cannot be said about Mr.Pussy-Grab "Not my President". Have you noticed that the whole world is laughing about him and make disparaging jokes of him? I don't understand how Republicans can live with that shame.
Delete...oh and while I am at it. You have heard about CETA? Yup, that's the new trade agreement between Canada and 28 countries of the European Union. So if Trump cancels the TTP and NAFTA, Canada will get the better deals. It will boost our economy, while the U.S. isolating trade policies will make America small again.
DeleteBy posting my finding about Trudeau, I have proven my point. You have found a source to support your stand with Trudeau. Here"s an interesting observation and you may want to change your position about "Mr. Pussy Grab." A gaggle of women (500k+) supported Trump by wearing Pink Pussy hats. They looked silly and their attempt to shame him backfired. Instead of wearing brain hats to show Trump they mean business, they wore pussy hats and dressed in vagina costumes. I haven't read about CETA yet but I do know that Trump is not cancelling NAFTA.
DeleteBy the way, Trump has been in office for a month. How could hate crimes increase in 30 days? Sigh..
DeleteThere is plenty of recorded evidence for increased hate crimes. Seek the truth and you will find it.
DeleteA shooting in a bar--workplace violence!
Delete"Get out of my country" he said before he fired. Get your head out of the sand.
DeleteDeeBev needs to recheck who won the popular vote. I'd say that was a large audience. Good response Peter.
ReplyDeleteThe Electoral vote represented a large following as well and ruled.
DeleteStill 3 mill short of the majority, Bev.
DeleteAnd 3 mil voted illegally.
DeleteThat is FAKE, Bev. Where is the evidence, WHERE? You are a victim of FAKE NEWS. You don't even know what's going on in your own country. How can ANYBODY believe BS like that? It would be logistically impossible to have 3 mill people vote illegally. They would have to be bussed around by the thousands. Have you ever seen convoys of buses on election day? This is too ridiculous.

DeleteThey don't have to be bussed. Only 31 states require voter I.D.
That's how Drumpf got elected....the Dee Bevs have drank the Kool-Aid !!
