Tucker: No race politics is better than others – it’s all poison
close Video Tucker: There is no behavior worse than this Fox News host points out how President Biden and Democrats are using race politics to capitalize on the deadly Buffalo shooting on 'Tucker Carlson Tonight.' NEW You can now listen to Fox News articles! There was, we're sad to tell you, a horrifying amount of violence in the United States over the weekend as increasingly there is. Over just two days, at least 104 Americans were shot to death in major American cities. That's a lot. How many? Well for perspective, on the single deadliest day of the Iraq war, that would be January of 2005, a total of 37 Americans died. So, what's happening in our cities right now looks a lot like a war, even if we rarely acknowledge it. Dallas, Milwaukee, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, many other metro areas recorded murders over the weekend. That's typical now. In St. Louis, 13 people were shot, five of them fatally. In Chicago, 33 were gunned down, five of those … [Read more...] about Tucker: No race politics is better than others – it’s all poison
Chinese State-Run Media Attempts To Paint US As Racist Hotbed In Wake Of Buffalo Shooting
Chinese state-run media attempted to paint the U.S. as a hotbed of Neo-Nazis and white supremacists in the wake of a mass shooting at a supermarket in a largely black neighborhood in Buffalo, New York, on Saturday. Global Times cited the apparently racially motivated attack that killed 10 in Buffalo to claim that Neo-Nazi and white supremacist gun violence in the U.S. is allegedly so “serious and dangerous” that it fundamentally undermines America’s moral legitimacy on human rights issues on Sunday. The Chinese state-run media outlet also attempted to tie the Buffalo shooting with the 2017 Las Vegas and 2021 Atlanta spa shootings to allege the U.S. has a “white terrorism” problem at home. “The rise of white supremacy, widening racial divides and growing inequality are deep-rooted problems that have long poisoned U.S. society,” experts told the Global Times. “Eventually, the U.S. failure to put the brakes on its most prominent domestic problems will take the country … [Read more...] about Chinese State-Run Media Attempts To Paint US As Racist Hotbed In Wake Of Buffalo Shooting
Suspect in Taiwanese church shooting charged with murder, aimed to “execute in cold blood” as many as possible, DA says
A Las Vegas man accused of killing a man and wounding five others at a Taiwanese church in California on Sunday, allegedly motivated by political tensions between China and Taiwan, was charged Tuesday with murder. David Chou, 68, faces 10 counts that include first-degree murder, five counts of attempted murder and four counts of possessing destructive devices with the intent to kill or harm, Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer said Tuesday. Spitzer said at a news conference the charges carry penalties that could include death or life without the possibility of parole. "This is not a case that I'm ruling out for death," Spitzer said. He added that Chou's case was about a suspect concealing themselves in plain view before ambushing congregants. "He did everything he could to fit in, to make himself one of them," Spitzer said. Chou’s goal was to “execute in cold blood as many people in that room as possible," Spitzer said. "He had the ammunition to do it. He had … [Read more...] about Suspect in Taiwanese church shooting charged with murder, aimed to “execute in cold blood” as many as possible, DA says

Press Release Desk , News Partner Posted Reply Press release from the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office: May 18, 2022 Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón today addressed steps that elected officials must take to prevent mass shootings such as the ones over this past weekend in Buffalo, Milwaukee and Laguna Woods, how his office has prepared to support victims should a mass shooting occur in Los Angeles County and his office's violence prevention efforts.
