As the George Zimmerman case plays out, we in the US still live in a Land of the Not Investigated, racially motivated Hate Crime. The latest Hate Crime seems to have happened just last Sunday in Arizona, and has received scant attention in the US press. See Phoenix area’s Fox News’ inadequate coverage 1 of 2 Border Shooting Victims in Eloy Identified for minimal info about this case. Seems that hate attacks on ‘illegal aliens’ are hardly worthy of coverage per our US press corps.
Notice that one of the victims of this racist attack was from Guatemala, a country ravished by a genocide perpetrated by a US backed government and with US trained troops. No doubt that none of this mattered to the military camouflaged assassins who ambushed these people. Wonder if they themselves had US military training in their own backgrounds? What better place to have racism glued to one’s soul than in the US military, where racism is essential to how most US troops see the rest of the world from their US-centric mindset. Kill! Kill! Kill! Code of honor to do so.
The gun toting soldier in the US trains the gun toting NRA thug to be a gun toting thug. These vet groups then become a gun loving lobby that helps make the US MORE a racist minded society where killing of some by more mainstream others becomes a rather accepted norm to many. Time to call a halt to this increasing mayhem. Time to stop the impunity for the uniforms of America that they currently enjoy and count as their privilege. Time to change for the better instead of simply accepting more and more of the carnage as our future. Time for a new country, one not run by military trained gun toting nuts.
However, we still live in the Land of the Not so Investigated Hate Crime so the spin is in that perhaps perhaps this was a ‘drug related ambush’, etc. Whatever? It’s pretty clear that little to no investigation probably will probably get done though. The two victims were not considered all that important and nobody in Arizona law enforcement circles really wants to uncover the possibly incriminating activities of their Minutemen friends. More dirt to simply be swept underneath the rug in racist USA. Hey! Let’s not let them so easily do it though.
