More Crime, not Less, After National Guard Deployment

Trump's MAGA morons raise hell when a foreigner kills Americans, but they never say a word when Americans kill Americans. This is what Arabs do with Israel. They raise hell when Israel kills Palestinians, but they never complain when Sudan kills millions of its own people.

Crime continues to spike across the US depsite Trump's claims that he is deploying the National Guard to combat crime. If anything, last week in Washington DC, those who were deployed to fight crime fell victims of the crime they are supposed to fight.

American killings are kosher - mass shootings at schools, racist burning of Black churches, random mass shootings by deranged Americans .... - all are OK. No we don't want to ban guns. But one foreign assassin and it's the end of the world, and overcompensating barbaric policies are enacted. It's xenophobia, pure and simple. Which is strange because all Americans, save the ethnically cleansed genocided indigenous nations, are or descend from immigrant foreigners. Americans have a very bad and selective memory of who they once were. They even hate Canadians who are an exact copy-paste of themselves, except Canadians chose to be a civilized people by acknowledging their past whereas Americans don't even want to talk about their ugly past.

At least four people were killed and 10 others wounded in a shooting at a banquet hall in Stockton, California on Saturday evening, local authorities said.

The San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office said it happened shortly before 6 p.m. in the 1900 block of Lucile Avenue in Stockton.

Heather Brent, a public information officer for the sheriff's office, told reporters the gunfire came as people were at the banquet hall for a family gathering, calling the shooting "unfathomable."

She said the victims of the shooting range in age from juveniles to adults.

There was no update provided on the conditions of those wounded. Several people were hospitalized, the sheriff's office said earlier.

She said early indications are that it may have been a targeted shooting, although authorities have not yet identified a suspect or made any arrests.

"Our No. 1 priority right now is identifying the suspect in this incident," Brent said.

Speaking to reporters at the scene, Stockton Mayor Christina Fugazi noted the timing of the shooting, just a few days after the Thanksgiving holiday.

"Families should be together instead of at the hospital standing next to their loved one praying that they survive," she said.

San Joaquin County District Attorney Ron Freitas said, "Tragedy of this nature is unthinkable. And it absolutely breaks our heart. Right now, we are doing everything possible to bring the individual that's responsible for this to justice."

Among the law enforcement agencies responding to assist are the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Stockton, a city of about 320,00 residents in central California, is located about 45 miles south of Sacramento.

The office of California Gov. Gavin Newsom said the governor had been briefed on the "horrific shooting."
