ukusuka Iimpawu eziqhelekileyo
Mhlawumbi i-CHOP kaSeattle (Iprotokholi yeCapitol Hill emsebenzini) ayizukuhlala, kodwa ikhona into etshintshayo. Iqela lethu lesizwe, njengoko ligcinwa ngokuqiniseka okuqinisekileyo kule nkulungwane idlulileyo yezopolitiko nakwizinto eziphambili zosasazo, kubonakala ngathi ziyakhubeka phambi kwamehlo ethu.
Kwaye njengokuba iqela liqhwalela, kuvuleka ukuqonda okukhulu. Ukucinga okuqhubekekayo kukufumana indlela ebuyela kwincoko edibeneyo, ukuvumela ilizwe ukuba liqale ukudlula kwimeko eqhelekileyo - uyazi, umsebenzi wobupolitika usigcina sikhuselekile, ubuhlanga yinto yakudala, njl.njl., - kunye nokuvula amathuba okuba siqala ukwenza ikamva elinobubele.
Esi siqalo sincinci siphume ekubulaweni ngamapolisa kukaGeorge Floyd kunye nemvukelo yehlabathi eyalandelayo. Amajelo eendaba kunye neenkokheli ezininzi zopolitiko nezokuzibandakanya, endaweni yokuhlangana ukuze bajongele phantsi abaqhankqalazi, njengoko behlala besenza njalo (ngoncedo lwamapolisa, kunjalo), bahlala phaya kwisivumelwano esimanyumnyezi: Ewe, kukho into ayilunganga. Kuya kufuneka senze utshintsho.
Ndikholelwe, anditsho ukuba imeko yezopolitiko iyahlaziywa nangayiphi na indlela, okanye ukuba utshintsho olufunekayo alula kwaye lucacile - nantoni na kodwa! Nangona kunjalo. . .
Makhe siqwalasele "ukuthatyathwa" kutshanje kwendawo eneebhloko ezintandathu kwidolophu yaseSeattle eyaziwa ngokuba yiCapitol Hill. Indawo yabamelwane yayiyeyona ndawo kugxilwe kuyo kuqhankqalazo lwedolophu kwaye ngaxeshanye ekuqaleni kukaJuni, phakathi kwengxwabangxwaba phakathi kwamapolisa kunye nababhikishi, amapolisa ayishiya indawo leyo. Abaqhankqalazi ke bavakalise ukuba indawo encinci, engenazintambo ngaphandle kwamapolisa. Ekuqaleni yaziwa ngokuba yi-CHAZ - indawo eyi-Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone- ekugqibeleni yaba yi-CHOP, yeCapitol Hill Occupied Protest. Indawo leyo igcine inkululeko ethile ehleliweyo-igcwele iiparitha kunye nee-sentensi, kunye nabathathi-nxaxheba abaninzi abanomdla kwi-ajenda - kwiiveki ezininzi.
Yayiyimeko yeqela nokudubula, enye yazo, okothusayo kukuba, umphumo wokubulawa komfana oneminyaka eli-19 ubudala, uHorace Lorenzo Anderson. Akukho mntu okrokrelweyo wafunyanwa.
Ngaba ukubulawa kwabantu bekukho ngenxa yokuba i-CHOP yayingenamapolisa? Hayi, kunjalo. Izinto ezenziwe ekhaya zenzeka nini kwaye zivela phi, zihlala zikho, ngaphandle kwalonto, kwimimandla egadwe ngamapolisa. Kwaye ngamanye amaxesha, ewe, ubundlobongela buqhutywa ngamapolisa uqobo. Abakhuseli bamapolisa kunye nokubona ilungelo lezopolitiko, ewe, bakhala ngokukhawuleza "uxelele yhu!" emva kokubulala, ukubhengeza i-CHOP ukuba iguqukele kwisiphithiphithi kunye nolawulo lwehlokondiba, akukho mntu ukhuselekileyo kwakhona.
Into emangalisa kukuba ilungelo leTrump lishiywe kulo isitya sodwa. Umongameli angabhalela iTitter "Abaphembeleli basekhaya bathathe indawo kaSeattle" kwaye boyikisa ngokuthumela emkhosini. Kodwa usodolophu waseSeattle, uJenny Durkan, uthe: “Senze sikhuseleke sonke. Buyela kwigumbi lakho elingaphantsi.
Kwaye i-media ayiyigubungelanga i-CHOP ngokugxothwa okufanayo, ukuqondiswa kweqela okunembonakalo yokugubungela kwayo. . . oh gosh. . . iimfazwe zethu zenkulungwane yama-21, uhlahlo-lwabiwo mali lobuhlakani olungenantlonelo, ubugwenxa obungenakubalwa bezentlalo. Into eyahlukileyo ngoku. Ngaba kunokwenzeka oko? Ngaba kunokwenzeka ukuba kukho ulwazi-ngenene, ubukrelekrele obuntsonkothileyo - obukhoyo kolu gqubutyo lubonakaliso lotshintsho?
Mhlawumbi ndenza kakhulu kule nto. Kodwa cinga, umzekelo, oku I-Washington Posibali, ngumbali wentatheli ophanda uMeryl Kornfield, emva kokudutyulwa kweCHOP. Yayingenantlonelo yokucinga ukuba abaqhankqalazi babenempazamo kwaye behlala bechaza uxolo lwabo olusisiseko, bephawula ukuba, umzekelo, amaxhoba adubulekileyo basiwa esibhedlele ngabezonyango. Olu yayingezongxwabangxwaba zesaxuku, uhlobo nje lolunye lwezentlalo.
U-Kornfield wadlan 'indlebe nomntu ohlala kwi-CHOP, wathi: "Ngokwesiqhelo xa bekukho amapolisa achaphazeleka, ayeke umlobi aphume kwiimbumbulu emva koko bangene apho. Ayenzekanga apha. Kwangoko kwaqhushumba, abantu bathatha inxaxheba ngenkuthalo, kwaye kwabakho iqela lezonyango kwindawo ngokukhawuleza. Besingadingi zibhamu kunye nemipu engakumbi ukwenza lo msebenzi. ”
Nditsho neengxaki ze-CHOP zaxoxwa ngokuvuleleka kwengqondo ebanzi. Umzekelo, umhlali wathi kuye: “Ndidibene nomntwana omncinci owayephethe umpu kwaye ndifuna ukuba umhlobo wakhe awudubule njengombhiyozo. Ndamxelela ukuba le ayinakuba lolo hlobo lokusingqongileyo; sizama ukuqhanqalaza. Ukusebenzisa imipu naluphi na uhlobo okanye ifashoni kuya kuzisa imfuno kunye neminqweno yamapolisa ukuba abuyele. "
Kwaye ke kukho ibali ku Seattle Times, echaza inkalo enye eyodwa yokwahluka kwe-CHOP. Umqeqeshi webhasikidi yolutsha ogama linguDari Arrington, efuna ukuphuma nomsindo kunye nokuphelelwa lithemba ngokusweleka kukaGeorge Floyd (kunye nokuphuma emsebenzini ngexesha lesibetho), wenza iprojekthi ebizwa ngokuba yi-Shoot 4 Change, “apho acela khona abantu ukuba babeke umnqweno wotshintsho. kwisiqwengana sephepha, uliqobelele kwaye udubule ngebhakethi yeplastiki, ”kubhala intatheli uJayda Evans.
U-Arrington uxelela abathathi-nxaxheba: "Nje ukuba ubengezele oko ubhale phantsi, loo nto imele intliziyo yakho. Kwaye zonke iintliziyo zomntu wonke ezityumkileyo kwihlabathi ngenxa yokuba kuninzi okuqhubekayo. Sonke sineentliziyo ezixineneyo. Kodwa okungaphakathi kweentliziyo zethu ngumyalezo omnandi. Iphupha elihle. Umnqweno omuhle okanye nantoni na. Kwaye ndifuna abantu badibane ngobunye ukulwela utshintsho. ”
U-Arrington wathi ku-Evans: "I-vibe ekwi-CHOP inoxolo kwaye inamandla. Abantu bathetha inyani malunga nentshukumo yaBantu abaNtsundu kwaye iyandenza ndizive ngathi ndikwi-bubble enobuchule apho abantu bakhangela ukusebenzisa ilizwi labo ekukhanyiseni okuhle ekusasazeni umyalezo onamandla. Abazimiselanga ukunikezela kwaphela. Siza kuqhubeka siyenza kude kufike utshintsho. ”
Akulula ukugubungela iqhekeza lokuyila. Nantoni na, elungileyo okanye imbi, inokwenzeka apha. Kodwa kulapho iziqwengana zexa elizayo zihamba zihamba. I-CHOP, ngokucacileyo, ngoku ayisekho. Yile nto kwakuyixesha lokugqibela, i-cauldron enokwenzeka, uninzi lweendaba, ngethamsanqa, bakhetha ukubhala malunga nokugxotha.
Inokwenzeka isekhona.
