Crime wave in the US
I refer to The Straits Times’ Opinion, “Crime wave in the US: Concerns growing over public safety” (Feb 4).
Actually pursuing and advocating for the basic principles of democracy and human rights are nothing wrong or appropriate. As, the qualities of transparency and equality are the core basis for achieving the high standards of everything we do.
However, democracy and human rights are quite easily be abused by some people, it is especially so in the US.
It’s not surprised to notice that crime is on the rise in the US, and it is especially exacerbated in the recent decades.
Just look at the various shootings in the US : -
Texas Shooting Kills 26 at Southern Baptist Church on 5 Nov 2017, and Alabama church shooting in 17 June 2022, of which 2 killed and 1 injured.
In 14 May 2022, the mass shooting at Buffalo supermarket which killed 10 people and wounded three others.
A shooter in Uvalde, Texas killed 22 people at an elementary school last year on May 24.
The U.S. has had 2,032 school shootings since 1970 and these numbers are increasing. Alarmingly, 948 school shootings have taken place since the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School in December 2012.
Gun violence and school shootings have really become a major issue in the US and a uniquely American epidemic. Thus, incidents of gun violence occur frequently across the country.
Undeniably, the specific crimes of shootings are attached with various reasons. For examples: -
a) Racial and religious hatred or racism.
b) Easily influenced by violence on TV, in movies, in videos, and in computer and video games.
c) Affected by the consumption of alcohol or use drugs.
d) It is easy for the culprit(s) to get a gun.
e) Shooters have mental problems.
f) The culprits have been victims of physical abuse at home
g) Taking revenge because of other kids pick on them, make fun or them, or bully them
h) Due to the entanglement of personal or family issues
However, regardless whatever possible causes we can find, we need to ask one vital and pertinent questions:
1)Why does an individual who lives in the civilised, highly democratic and first world country like the USA requires to own a gun?
2)Does it mean owing a gun to show the entitlement of an individual’s social status and prestige?
3)Or, purely for the protection of own safety and personal property?
4)Do the American administration and politicians realise by now that they have to pay a high stake of price for their worrisome social security or public order because of their persistent (long-standing) advocacy and opting/voting in favour of the possession of personal protective weapon?
Hence, it is time to test the wisdom and resilience of President Joe Biden Administration for dealing with the prevalence of crime wave and exasperated policing problem.
Recently, a friend of mine who lives in California for three decades also expressed his concerns and worries pertaining to the shootings occurred in various cities of the US. He lamented that the situation of community shooting is seemed out of control.
Luckily, our Singapore’s law strictly prohibits the people to own/possess any type of dangerous or lethal weapons which include firearm, air gun and Airsoft gun. This will greatly safeguard our social security or public order.

The rural people in big countries are far from police. Armed gangs think rural people own nothing valuable and movable. Women may think the same too.
Gov can work with businesses run psychology tests identify and monitor risky individuals.
Some Caucasian men use the “Palestinian Cause” as an excuse to spread anti-Semitic ideas to their subordinates.
Or maybe some Caucasians think Philistines are closer because they came from Aegean Sea.
MNCs can work with vendors to run psychology tests to prevent anti-Semitic people from getting into positions of authority.

1. Well, As reflected by Children n Western University:
February 9, 2023 at 1:52 pm
Yep, very good points.
Not just CCP and Xi sending their children for very WESTERN universities, many WuMao-sinkieAhPeks have sent and continue to send their children to WESTERN Universities.
They themselves may have been WESTERN U-educated.
If they can afford it.
Meanwhile because of Brainwashing by WuMao, they continue to spend their useless lives on Social platform venting their WuMao created ANGER at these very WESTERN countries.
That is why even their posts are full of venom—-especially when their hypocrisy is exposed.
1.4 Billion Tiongs and the rest of the world wants to know why Xi sent his daughter to HARVARD.
Indeed where did China-Boy TKL sent his children for U education????

What about Scam Wave In Singapore: Concerns over public ignorance?
The Straits Times would never publish such an opinion piece for public consumption because it only makes the incumbent party look bad.
Pause and reflect.

Is this Disinformation or Misinformation or Fake News? Thought since the end of WWW2, Uncle Sam is the Global Policeman going ALL OUT and ALL OVER THE SHOP to ensure PEACE, FREEDOM and DEMOCRACY to those countries they HAVE PUT THEIR FEET and PLANTED the Holee Americunt Flag on the ground!
And importantly, Uncle Sam is STILL the No. 1 economic power on planet earth. Furthermore, the Americunts’ dollar is the World Reserve Currency! Every country on planet earth has to quai quai follow the whim and fancy of Uncle Sam. So those so-called crime wave happening in USA is sup sup the water to Sleepy Joe. Their police force could easily handle the incident and situation NICELY! This cannot COMPARE with those previously riots, chaos that happened in Iran, Hongkong and elsewhere that caused economic disaster and disruption to their folks! Uncle Sam Jia Yu!

PAP do NOT seems to commit crimes? Well NOT gun crimes strictly speaking. But PAP has committed MORE LETHAL crimes that do NOT use guns.
And when these crimes do not hurt physically, DOES NOT MEAN they don’t hurt livelihoods, hurt characters, hurt spirits, hurt emotions and son in – which can be painful too.
Does people here equate hurt physically means something only worth mention?
This writer Teo obviously DO NOT HAVE CRITICAL thinking brain.
Gun OWNING is harmless per se.
Its the USAGE of guns or weapons that is and should be MORE of concern.
The writer IS SCREWED UP in his DISCERNMENT.

Policemen use guns to kill themselves aplenty. What the writer going to write about. Is policeman killing policeman himself NOT VIOLENT?
loading...
Using gun to kill takes away another’s life. PAP kill and take away another life by hanging.
Whats the difference. Oh so a drug traffickers life is worthless – who says so?

Why does an individual who lives in the civilised, highly democratic and first world country like the USA requires to own a gun? Their reasoning is, why not? The part of this which you are wrong about is democratic. The US is technically an Oligarchy as per the studies by two leading US Colleges. The elected officials are little more than widgets for the money which elected them and if they want to remain in the money stream they mouth the part they are told. US democracy is not how Hollywood portrays it, unfortunately too many people believe Hollywood paints a true picture, “Oh the shame of it…..”

I worked and lived in USA for three years. It is a huge country and crimes do occur but in my three years in Houston, no violent crimes in my district. USA seems to have go downwards in recent years.
Spore is about close to Paradise as can be…No earthquakes, tsunami, typhoons, gun crimes, violent crimes are few. The government is not perfect but so much freedom in Spore if one does not get involved with certain topics.
I love Spore.

“1)Why does an individual who lives in the civilised, highly democratic and first world country like the USA requires to own a gun?”
The answer is simple. Your understandings are all wrong.
USA is not a civilized country.
USA is not a highly democratic country.
USA is not a first world country.
People need guns to protect themselves.
loading...
Yes. How civilised China is.

Stupid and myopic people keep asking why China students study in US. They should first query their masters why Singapore scholarships send Singaporeans to China university.
If they dare to query that, their masters will slap them into stupider states. haha.

I always comment if you like China go live in China. Therefore you like to study in China then study in China U.
Afterall China U can hired outside 搶手 to write thesis for the student.

Ask your pappy master why they don’t go live in China since they send Singaporeans there? Of course, this is a stupid question, but it fits your level.

To those who keep telling others to go and live in China,why dont they tell themselves to go and live in America or other angmoh cuntries?

CRIME WAVE in u$a goes way beyond the tradional definition.
We are witnesing not just gun-slingers but ECONOMIC CRIMES more and more.
This mushrooming from the shoots of GREED planted even as the mighty u$a goes around commiting economic crimes globally by its CORPORATE GREED!
HOW CAN A COUNTRY SO CRIMINAL contine to be a ROLE MODEL for the world?
u$a needs first to REPENT N MAKE AMENDS and re-adopt the WAY OF IN GOD WE TRUST before it can re-emerge as the BEACON OF LIGHT once again.
GREED IS THE rea$on WHY USA has become more immoral.
loading...
I am describing US as it is. Don’t let your anti-China western propaganda-washed brain cloud your vision of US and the world.
USA is not a civilized country. Go look at crime rates, police brutality, etc.
USA is not a highly democratic country. Even ex-POTUS said so. Who are you to argue against this?
USA is not a first world country. Go look at homeless numbers, hungry school kids, etc.
loading...
Any US president can expressed his opinion, others can disagree. The president does not own the united states or dictates the public opinions, it is common to have differences. For an ex president to be allowed to air different views, is itself already a sign of high functioning democracy.
As long as independent checks and balances are in placed, there will be avenues to rectify, the country is well placed to be amongst the best.
For those familiar with how things go, issues tend to be amplified politically to drive changes in the US. Without doubt many people still flocked to this country, this is one of the best litmus test.

“USA is not a highly democratic country. Even ex-POTUS said so. Who are you to argue against this? ”

There is a difference between
ownself praise ownself, (pappies) and

To the morons who insist on making GREED looks like its must be a *democratic* value.
Whats wrong with XJP’s belief n pursuit of COMMON PROSPERITY to ensure the INCOME GAP between the rich n poor does not CONtinue to widen n widen like in u$a n even tiny $in City?
So,angmohs tua kee suckers n lickers enjoyed getting $crewed.
And ,angmohs killing millions of unborn children is a democratic right greater than Christian teachings of no killing?
Go,have a good look at your ownselves and recognise your *Fugly* selves before condemning others.
loading...
And,take this simple demonstration of greed by angmohs.
Before announcements of net income figures,etc,SHARE BUY BACKS.
BEFORE public announcements of hefty losses or troubles,SELL SHARES first?
Recent example,SVB CEO.
So,all such practices are en$hrined in DEMOCRACY? Or,is it?
Only FAKE ASIANS worship angmoh tua kees becos they are exceedingly stupid.
Btw,Buddha was indian and Jesus was a middle-eastener.

Why do you associate greed with democracy? Neither is the cause of the other. According to the Bible, greed is one of the seven sins of human beings, it is not solely an angmoh attribute. Greed does not just refer to money, the greed can be power as well. No one will put a person who just won millions in a lottery as greedy, the key difference is freedom to participate. Anyone who wishes can buy a ticket to have a chance at riches. It is only when wealth or power is concentrated in a small group, more often than not, at the expense of others that will create fissures and issues. This is not a result of democracy but rather a lack of, as democracy is there precisely as a check. You put as if democracy is the evil cause of greed, this is a false narrative by dictators or autocrats. Unless you are oblivious to the things that happened especially the last few years, XJP and his CCP is now the biggest threat to mankind. XJP’s “common prosperity” only refers to himself and keeping the CCP in power. Despite exerting a firm grip on society, 600M chinese are still earning less than 1000rmb per month, why is this so? The mafia regime had milked its citizens, enriched and kept the riches to themselves, at the same time using the money weaponizing greed to usurp the free world. Perhaps you are confusing capitalism with democracy. In a CCP feature film to entice investors, it claimed itself to be even more capitalistic than US.

Did i say democracy is synonymous with greed?
Read carefully.
I merely point out that greed is not a democratic value.
