Hatred Is Not The Solution

Thirteen people were charged yesterday for trying to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer. The alleged scheme included a plan to overthrow state government.

The people believed that the state government is violating the U.S. Constitution.

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel announced that six people were charged federally with conspiracy to kidnap and seven other people associated with the militia group face other charges.

Governor Whitmer said in a news conference that she knew her job would be hard, but she said to be honest, she never could have imagined anything like this. She especially blamed President Trump, who has repeatedly declined to condemn far-right groups, for the action.

According to the complaint, the group discussed their members crashing into the Michigan Capitol building in Lansing and taking hostages and murdering “tyrants,” including Governor Whitmer.

 Recently the FBI became aware of the group’s plans through a social media group of individuals that were discussing the violent overthrow of a certain government. Because of the complexity of the operation and the dangerous suspects involved, the FBI needed to mobilize their resources to execute either search warrants or arrest warrants at a dozen separate sites.

We are very sad that the country has to worry about these criminal activities that could have damaged the coming election and the national security.

Hatred is not the solution for our society.

       仇恨能解决问题吗

十三名极端右翼份子被联邦及地方警方逮捕，并控告他们要绑架谋害密西根州州长惠麦，他们宣称州长是位违反美国宪法的叛乱者。

这种荒谬加上仇恨的行為公然在我们週围发生，显示白人种族主义者在目前之政治氛围下十分嚣张，所幸在联邦调查局之卧底调查之下 一举被捕获。

惠麦州长立即发表声明，并指责川普总统对这些白人主义极端份子之縦容，造成他们行动之猖狂，但她誓言将毫无畏惧，继续依法行事。

值此大选逼近， 政治上戱码不断上演，我们非常忧心国家未来的前途。

今晨看见音乐表演家马友友在网上以标準之华语公开呼吁我们去投票，现在已经开始，希望大家共同行动，投下手中神圣的一票。
