Sekuyiminyaka emibini ndibhala ngalo mxholo. Ngelo xesha, ubuncinane I-36% yabadubuli abaninzi base-US wayeqeqeshwe ngumkhosi waseUnited States. Ukusukela ngoko, itotali epheleleyo akukho mntu ubhalileyo ngesihloko.

Ndiyaphinda ndiyichole kwakhona, kuba abantu sele beqalile ukubuza ngayo, beqhutywa ngulowo wayesakuba nguMkhosi waseLwandle esebenzisa izakhono eziqeqeshelwe ukubulala umkhweli wendlela engaphantsi komhlaba eNew York, kunye nabadubuli e-Atlanta naseTexas bachongwa njengamagqala kwiingxelo zeendaba - i ukunqaba okugqithisileyo.

Nangona kunjalo, ukusebenza kwi- sedata yabadubuli abaninzi abadalwe ngu UMama Jones, Andikwazi ukubandakanya umdubuli wase-Atlanta, ongazange abulale abantu abane ubuncinane, kwaye andinakubandakanya nakuphi na ukukrwitshwa, kuba ezo azidutyulwa. Ngapha koko, i-Texas mass shooter yamva nje kuphela kwamatyala ali-15 endinawo ifakwe kwisiseko sedatha kule minyaka mibini idlulileyo ndiye ndakwazi ukuchonga njengegqala. Kukho ngokuqinisekileyo kubekho ngaphezu kwe-15 yokudubula, kodwa uninzi lwazo alukwazi ukungena UMama Jones database, kunye nezinye endizisusayo ukuze ndenze uthelekiso olunentsingiselo. EUnited States, i-14.76% yabemi ngokubanzi (indoda, i-18-59) ngamagqala. Ngokunciphisa i-database yam kubadubuli abangamadoda baseMelika, abaneminyaka eyi-18-59, ndingabonisa ukuba i-32% yabo ngamagqala.

Ngokungathandabuzekiyo, kwilizwe elinabantu abangaphezu kwezigidi ezingama-330 ugcino-lwazi lwabadubuli abaninzi abangama-122 liqela elincinci kakhulu. Ngokungathandabuzekiyo, ngokweenkcukacha-manani, phantse onke amagqala ayingobadubuli abaninzi. Kodwa oko akunakuba sisizathu sokuba kungabikho nelinye inqaku leendaba elikhe likhankanye ukuba abadubuli abaninzi bangaphezulu ngokuphindwe kabini ukuba ngamagqala njengabemi ngokubanzi. Ngapha koko, ngokweenkcukacha-manani, phantse onke amadoda, abantu abagula ngengqondo, abaxhaphazi bamakhaya, ababevelana namaNazi, abantu ababodwa, nabathenga imipu nabo abangobadubuli abaninzi. Ukanti amanqaku akwezo zihloko ayanda njengezinyobo zephulo le-NRA.

Kubonakala kum kukho izizathu ezibini eziphambili zokuba inkqubo yonxibelelwano ephilileyo ayizukusijonga esi sihloko. Okokuqala, iidola zethu zoluntu kunye namagosa anyuliweyo aqeqesha kwaye amisela inani elikhulu labantu ukuba libulale, libathumela kumazwe aphesheya ukuba babulale, bebulela "ngenkonzo," bencoma kwaye bevuza ngokubulala, kwaye abanye babo babulala apho ayamkelekanga. Oku ayilothungelwano lwamathuba, kodwa yinto enonxibelelwano olucacileyo.

Okwesibini, ngokunikela kakhulu kurhulumente wethu ekuhleleni ukubulala, kwaye nokuvumela umkhosi ukuba uqeqeshe ezikolweni, kwaye uphuhlise imidlalo yevidiyo kunye nemifanekiso bhanyabhanya yaseHollywood, siye sadala inkcubeko apho abantu bacinga ukuba umkhosi uyancomeka, ukuba ubundlobongela buyasombulula. iingxaki, kwaye ukuziphindezela yenye amaxabiso aphezulu. Phantse bonke abadubuli abaninzi basebenzise izixhobo zomkhosi. Uninzi lwabo sibaziyo isinxibo sabo banxibe ngokungathi basemkhosini. Abo bashiye ngasemva imibhalo esele yenziwe esidlangalaleni baye bathanda ukubhala ngokungathi bathabatha inxaxheba emfazweni. Ke, ngelixa inokumangalisa abantu abaninzi ukufumanisa ukuba bangaphi abadubuli abaninzi abangamagqala omkhosi, kunokuba nzima ukufumana abadubuli abaninzi (amagqala okwenene okanye akunjalo) abangazange bacinge ukuba bangamajoni.

Kubonakala kum ngathi sesona sizathu sinokuthi kube nzima ukufumanisa ukuba ngabaphi abadubuli abebesemkhosini (oku kuthetha ukuba abanye abadubuli abongezelelekileyo bebekho, ngabo andikwazanga ukufunda loo nto). Siye saphuhlisa inkcubeko ezinikele ekudumiseni nasekuzukiseni ukuthatha inxaxheba emfazweni. Akufuneki nokuba ibe sisigqibo esaziyo, kodwa intatheli eqinisekileyo ukuba impi iyancomeka ingacinga ukuba ibingabalulekanga kwingxelo yomntu odubula abantu abaninzi kwaye, ukongeza, acinge ukuba ibiyothusa ukukhankanya ukuba le ndoda yayiligqala. Olo hlobo lokuzijonga ngokubanzi kuphela kwengcaciso enokwenzeka yokuphuma kweli bali.

Into yokuvala eli bali ayifuni ncam “injongo,” kwaye ndingathanda ukucebisa kwiintatheli ngokudubula kwabantu abaninzi ukuba, nabo, bachithe amandla amancinci ekuzingeleni okuhlala kungekho ntsingiselo “yenjongo,” kunye Ngokungakumbi ekucingeni ukuba into yokuba umdubuli ehlala kwaye ephefumla kwiziko elizinikele ekudubuleni abantu abaninzi inokuba yimfuneko.

Ukufumana okungakumbi malunga nendlela endiyiphande ngayo le nto kwaye ndicinga ngayo, yabona ingxelo yam kwiminyaka emibini edlulileyo.

Yeyam ifayile yedatha Cofa apha.

Ndixoxe ngesi sihloko namhlanje kwi Sanita Jackson Show.
