The National Tragedy Of Violence And The Opportunists Who Exploit It

The violent and cold-blooded publicized murders of people of all ages and colors in this nation, including those of Amadou Diallo, Oscar Grant, and most recently Trayvon Martin are but the tip of the insane iceberg of violence nationwide. The violence that permeates this nation is akin to this government’s violence in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, and Libya, etc.� These aforementioned organized acts of U.S. government violence in other lands are conveniently and hypocritically referred to as “police actions” abroad. Yet, there is a direct link between the violence that U.S. citizens carry out against one another within this nation and the violence that citizens of this nation are directed to carry out against citizens of other nations. This violence is also akin to the daily so-called “justifiable” police brutality and violence perpetrated against everyday Black, White, Brown, Red, and Yellow people throughout this nation.
