Here I am again, Linh, with a question [...] I've been thinking about this for years and you are the one person I know now who is a world traveler.

What do people in other countries think about American violence within American borders? If I were someone whose family had been decimated by American bombs, I think I'd do a little dance every time there was another mass shooting in the U.S. And of course Americans seem incapable of making the connection between the violence we perpetrate everywhere else and the violence at home.


I answer:

Hi Susan,

Regarding mass shootings in the US, all foreigners I've talked to attributed it to the widespread availability of guns, because that's the Jewish narrative coming out of America. Most are not aware of how lethal many American neighborhoods are, so they're shocked to hear that +500 people were murdered last year in Philadelphia, a city of 1.6 million people. That sounds like war.

Foreigners are also unaware that blacks commit an outrageously disproportionate number of violent crimes in the USA. Thanks to the Jewjewed media, even many Americans believe blacks are just victims of racist white cops, and if they commit more crimes, it's just because of poverty.

Americans have long been conditioned to get a kick out of violence, so they're thrilled at seeing people shot or blown up, with even chainsaw murders having an audience. Americans consider this Jewish composed line hilarious or even poetry, "I love the smell of napalm in the morning."

Most foreigners are simply not that insane. More American bombs dropped on Laos than anywhere else, and Laos continue to be killed by them, but there is zero evidence of Lao hatred for ordinary Americans, or even for America.

Three years ago, I met one of the last Vietnamese survivors of the Battle of Dien Bien Phu. Of this 90-year-old man, I wrote:

A few years ago, a tour guide brought some French tourists to his home, so he fed them all, just like he fed me.

"I said to them, ‘Ça va! Ça va!’ When we fought them, it was, ‘Mains en l’air!" Now, it was, ‘Ça va!’”

Among the monuments scattered around Dien Bien Phu, there’s an obelisk erected by a former Foreign Legionaire, Rolf Rodel, on land donated by the Vietnamese government. Fronted by wreaths, plaques and even jars containing incense sticks, it’s a dignified memorial to the dead.

Speaking of Philadelphia, here's a comment from a former resident:

hey linh,

i went to temple, as you know. i remember--this is in the early 90s--a sort of terror descending on campus after about 3-4 pm, with roving thugs out and about. but i think it's a lot worse now, from what i can glean.

when i first came to philly i lived at 43rd and spruce, just west of the penn campus. the thing about that area is the great disparity between the rich penn students and the surrounding ghetto. at temple, which is almost totally a commuter school and much of it low income, you didn't have that. but north philly's scarier in general than west philly, though i avoided was it 50th or 52nd? and many other areas. but i never once set foot in kensington, anything east of the temple campus just LOOKED terrifying.

cheers,

dan


Linh Dinh's note: though Dan is a large guy who can certainly defend himself, he'd be helpless if jumped by six or seven "teens" unexpectedly, with the first blow a sucker punch thrown from behind. These "teens" may also be armed. Like the US Army, they only attack when it's safest to do so, against a much weaker opponent. Uncle Sam is also ghetto.
