10 Americans Killed by Gun Violence on May 9,

Which Brought the Total to 4,620 Gun Killings of Americans,

in 2016 So Far

May 10, 2016

 

Editorial Note:

Tens of thousands of Americans are killed every year in domestic and workplace gun violence, tens of thousands more are injured, all of that is for the benefit of the gun industry, and indirectly for the benefit of the war industry, which promotes the violent American culture.

Politicians and the Zionist media are dead silent about this continuous holocaust, which is perpetrated against the American people on daily basis. However, they wait for a rare gun shooting incident perpetrated by a Muslim, then they repeat mentioning it, as incitement against Muslim Americans, ignoring the continuous American holocaust, which is perpetrated by non-Muslims.

The objective is to justify the continuous wars and invasions of the Muslim World since 1990, in order for the war industry beneficiaries to justify the enormous and unprecedented US national debt, which has reached more than $19 trillion, as a result of the military spending.

For example, in 2015, there were 53,228 shooting incidents, resulting in the killing of 13,415 Americans. Of these, there were only two incidents perpetrated by Muslims and resulting in the killing of 18 Americans.

The Zionist media, like Fox News and CNN, together with politicians like Trump, kept mentioning these two incidents while totally ignoring the other 53,226 incidents, which resulted in the killing of 13,398 Americans!

The American people are indeed actual victims of a continuous warmongering campaign, Islamophobia, and a daily holocaust, perpetrated against them by the war industry beneficiaries and their agents in the media and politics.

SAN ANTONIO -

Two people died Monday night in what the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office now says was a murder-suicide.

The shooting occurred around 8:30 p.m. near a convenience store in 11000 block of U.S. Highway 181.

Dispute leads to East Side shooting, police follow trail of blood to find victim 2 people killed in Bertram Street shooting identified Man dead in late-night shooting on West Side

James Keith, a spokesman for the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office, said based on a preliminary investigation, it appears an older model Ford Truck crashed into the back of a Saturn Vue. 

That's when, Keith said, the vehicles stopped outside a grocery store where the man driving the truck got out and shot and killed the woman driving the Vue before shooting and killing himself.

Keith said the Bexar County Sheriff's Office believes that the two were husband and wife and had recently separated.

Keith said the Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office will release the names of the deceased once family notification has been made.
