Violence begets violence. The Buddhist culture that imbues our traditional martial arts teaches that we are peacekeepers and negate violent actions and intentions.

Our media and politicians encourage violence by constantly labelling people and groups, this stirs the stupid in people as whatever reasoning they gave simply causes more violence.

It’s not the religion, culture or ‘tribe’ that matters, these are concoctions of those that want to distract us and turn us against each other it’s the heinous act itself that we should abhor and prevent.

So while our police are busy arresting OAP’s, schoolteachers and people with disabilities, the drunks and thugs are free to shout racist abuse and try to burn down hotels of people that are ‘different’ to them and in the US masked pretend ‘agents’ are doing the same to innocent workers and children.

The silent majority don’t care where others are from. All humans bleed the same, there is only good and bad people and no one should be victimised for race, culture or sexual orientation, it’s the crime that should be dealt with.

The sooner we lose the labels of ‘othering’ and deal with crime the better we will become. How many times do we have to say “never again”?

And the sooner we see through the indoctrination of our oligarchy and their politicians and media the sooner we will be able to put them in their proper place and live in peace with each other and give everyone enough to fulfil their basic needs to live.
