SAadmin Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 http://www.cbc.ca/news/trending/jon-stewart-on-charleston-shooting-this-is-a-terrorist-attack-1.3119783 Jon Stewart on Charleston shooting: 'This is a terrorist attack' Comedian Jon Stewart was in no mood for jokes Thursday evening in the wake of the shooting in a Charleston, S.C., church that left nine people dead.The satirical news host opened The Daily Show with a solemn commentary, and condemnation, of the violence and the public response to it."I honestly have nothing other than sadness ... of the depraved violence that we do to each other," he said in the opening segment."I'm confident, though, that by acknowledging it, by staring into that and seeing it for what it is ... we still don't do jack shit," he continued. His comments elicited some muted, sardonic laughs from the audience.Charleston, S.C., church shooting victims include church leaders and state senatorDylann Roof: What we know about the Charleston, S.C., shooting suspectCharleston church shooting: Hate crime, gun crime? Does it matter?Stewart condemned politicians' responses to the tragedy that he said he doubted would lead to any substantive change, and lamented the Emanuel AME Church's history of being targeted by attacks fuelled by racism."This is a terrorist attack," Stewart said. "This wasn't a tornado. This was a racist."Stewart had no comedic takes on the news for the rest of the episode, instead spending the remaining two segments for a feature interview with Nobel Peace Prize-winning teenage activist Malala Yousafzai.His Moment of Zen featured Pastor Clementa Pinckney, one of the shooting's victims, giving a sermon from October 2013. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalsingh101 Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Far too many American whites are in outright denial about the terrorism that emanates from within their own society. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amardeep Posted June 20, 2015 Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 Right wing extremism is on the rise all over the western world. Recent elections in Denmark, Sweden and other countries confirm this also. Dark times are ahead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amardeep Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 Its different now. Right wing movements used to be isolated and marginalized; now their beliefs are slowly becoming mainstreamed. They've learned to organizise better etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalsingh101 Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 (edited) Well our people are supposed to be a 'warrior-race' of 'lions'.Let's see if they can back that .... You're wrong by the way. Previously groups like NF had open, popular ground level support and lots of (scarcely concealed) support/sympathy from the police force. If they have got more organised, ethnic people have too. If anything we have more resources than ever now. The big issue is the men being pussies.

I'd say we've become more placid as a community in the UK. The Panjabis from the other side off the border have gone the opposite way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
