Some Thoughts on the 2nd assassination attempt of Donald Trump.
According to news reports, one of the most shocking things is that the alleged assassin (Ryan Wesly Routh) has lived in Ka’a’awa on Oahu since 2017. He even helped build small houses for the homeless. On the TV news tonight, when news crews went to his house his pickup truck had a Biden/Harris bumper sticker, and an American flag was on the house.
Biden & Harris both say – ‘there is no place for any violence in our country.” I too condemn violence. But unlike Biden and Harris, I condemn all violence — everywhere. I am committed to nonviolent action for justice, peace, and aloha ‘aina.I condemn the assassination attempt on Donald Trump. I condemn the US/Israel Genocide in Gaza. I condemn the US for sending US weapons of mass destruction to Israel to be used in heavily populated Gaza, I condemn the US funding its proxy war against Russia in Ukraine, and provoking war with China, using proxies like the Philippines, Australia, and Taiwan.
You say you condemn all violence yet you want the US to be “the most lethal fighting force in the world.” Don’t you see a contradiction there? And don’t you see a connection between the US being the most deadly military force in the world and the most heavily armed civilian nation, and the rampant killings in US schools, churches, shopping centers, etc.? If you are going to condemn violence, then take steps away from militarization as a nation and armed citizenry. And stop supporting Israel/US GENOCIDE IN GAZA and saying “Israel has a right to defend itself.” Genocide is not self-defense.
I condemn Hawaii County Mayor Mitch Roth saying “Israel has a right to defend itself” instead of denouncing US/Israel GENOCIDE. In the coming days, we are likely to hear a lot of Hawaii elected officials and political candidates condemning the assassination attempt on Donald Trump. But where are their voices to condemn the Genocide in Gaza, and the bombing at Pohakuloa? I ask all these politicians: What are you doing to prevent Pohakuloa from becoming our Big Island “Red Hill” toxic water disaster, our Lahaina firestorm from bombing and shelling in the dry windy Saddle Area, and all of us on Hawaii Island from becoming nuclear (and other airborne toxic) down winders?
