And you push back on them. And you tell them they\u2019re not welcome anymore, anywhere.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 Translation:\u00a0 If you are not in her tribe you should be attacked.<\/p>\n<p>This is the recipe for anarchy, and with anarchy comes violence.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(The following article was published in the June 21 edition of the California Globe) As many Americans celebrated the end of slavery over the weekend leading up to June 19, called Juneteenth, dozens of people were wounded or murdered in violent attacks across the country.\u00a0\u00a0 The Associated Press reports on over 103 shootings in mostly major urban centers causing twelve deaths.\u00a0 An exception was the apparently targeted murders of four people in an apartment in the small town of Kellogg, Idaho.\u00a0 A 31-year-old suspect is in police custody.\u00a0\u00a0 There were over 60 shootings in Chicago alone, with four fatalities.\u00a0 Twenty-three of the victims were shot at a Sunday morning Juneteenth celebration.\u00a0 Twelve teenagers were shot with one fatality at a party in St. Louis Saturday night.\u00a0 Another Saturday night shooting at a Washington state campground left two\u00a0 people injured and two dead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9114","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-general"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The Slaughter Over Juneteenth Weekend - Crime &amp;
