World shocked at enduring racism, gun violence in US

BEIJING (AP) -- Often the target of U.S. human rights accusations, China wasted little time returning such charges following the shooting at a historic black church in South Carolina that left nine people dead. Elsewhere around the world, the attack renewed perceptions that Americans have too many guns and have yet to overcome racial tensions.

Some said the attack reinforced their reservations about personal security in the U.S. - particularly as a non-white foreigner - while others said they'd still feel safe if they were to visit.

I am shocked China would use tanks and machine guns to kill thousands of peaceful demonstrators on their city streets.

Just because China bans the words “Tienanmen Square Massacre” doesn’t mean the rest of the world doesn’t remember.

“Shocked” at “enduring”

WTH does that mean?

Enduring;

adjective: enduring

continuing or long-lasting.

Shock and Shocked;
verb
past tense: shocked; past participle: shocked

1.cause (someone) to feel surprised and upset.
“she was shocked at the state of his injuries”

I’m shocked that Reuters felt compelled to headline their stories with “White man kills......Blacks.....”

I’m Shocked that they avoid pointing out “black man kills.....rapes...etc”

Or

“Islamic convert kills..etc...”

Enduring and Shocked don’t seem to go together.

Cuz in China, the government, not private citizens, does the killing.

At home “Tyrants only obey oaths when there is real and credible force to back it up. That is why we have the 2nd Amendment”

To our Enemies “There will be a Rifle behind every blade of grass”

To Obama “Please Fire your Secret Service and Live by Example, if you survive the next 2 years without security of any kind, we will consider your proposal”.

To NRA “The 2nd Amendment doesn’t have an F’n thing to do with Hunting”

To NSA “I can kinda sorta give you guys a general idea of where the guns went overboard but the water there is very deep”

It was not armed US citizens that killed 100 million people last century. It was the armed government’s of Europe and Asia. Time for the world to wake up.

AND the various nations of Africa and the Middle East.

It is astounding when you think of all the resources squandered, all the lives lost, all the environmental catastrophies caused and all the endeavors of humans destroyed by governing bodies over the centuries. Absolutely astounding. Now they openly conspire to destroy our global energy infrastructure and destroy our international monetary system just because the governing structures want even more control. They are destroying our future. Has there ever been as great an evil ?
