NgoFebhuwari, uMkhandlu uvote ngasohlangothini olufanayo ukususa itshe lesikhumbuzo e-Lee Park - ivoti eliyimpikiswano elasusa icala elibhekene noMkhandlu Wedolobha, lanciphisa isenzo sawo okwamanje. UMarguerite Gallorini we-WMRA uyabika.
IMEYA UMIKE UMSANDI: Kulungile. Sanibonani nonke. Ubiza lo mhlangano woMkhandlu Wedolobha LaseCharlottesville ukuthi uyalele.
Izinketho ezintathu eziyinhloko zokulahla isifanekiso sika-Lee zazisetafuleni ngaphambi koMkhandlu Wedolobha ngoMsombuluko kusihlwa: endalini; ibhidi yokuncintisana; noma ukunikela ngesifanekiso kuhulumeni noma ebhizinisini elingenzi nzuzo.
U-Ben Doherty ungumsekeli wokususwa kwalesi sithombe. Ekuqaleni komhlangano, wazwakalisa ukukhungatheka kwakhe ngendlela izinto ezihambe kancane ngayo, ngokubona kwakhe.
U-BEN DOHERTY: Ungase unikeze isisindo eseqile ezimpikiswano ezingokomthetho eziyiphutha ezethulwa iqembu labathandi bothando be-Confederate ekumangaleleni kwabo idolobha. Zonke lezi izaba. Hlonipha amavoti angu-3-2 oMkhandlu Wedolobha futhi usebenzisane nozakwenu ukuze niqhubekele phambili ngokushesha ekususeni lesi sifanekiso sokucwasa phakathi kwethu. Ngiyabonga.
Icala akhuluma ngalo lifakwe ngoMashi yiMonument Fund nabanye abamangali, okuhlanganisa ama-war veteran, noma abantu abahlobene umqophi wesithombe uHenry Schrady, noma ku UPaul McIntire, owanikeza idolobha lesi sithombe. Abamangali basola ukuthi idolobha lephule ingxenye yeKhodi yaseVirginia evikela izikhumbuzo zempi, kanye nemigomo uMcIntire anikeze ngayo amapaki nezikhumbuzo edolobheni. Yize ingahle ingathandwa abasekeli bokususwa, icala kufanele licatshangelwe, njenge Ilungu loMkhandlu Wedolobha uKathleen Galvin wakhumbuza izethameli.
UKATHLEEN GALVIN: Isinyathelo esilandelayo, ngikholwa ukuthi, kuzoba ukulalelwa komphakathi mayelana nesicelo sokuvinjelwa kwesikhashana sabamangali. Okwamanje, uMkhandlu awukwazi ukususa isichuse kuze kube kuthathwa isinqumo mayelana nomthetho omisiwe. UMkhandlu nawo awukwazi ukuwususa lowo mfanekiso kuze kube icala elithinta ukususa isichuse liqulwa enkantolo. Akekho owaziyo ukuthi isikhathi sini.
Abangakwenza okwamanje wukuvotela ukususwa nokuqamba kabusha izinhlelo. Ikhansela uKristin Szakos ufunda isiphakamiso, okuvunyelwene ngaso ngamavoti ama-3-2:
I-Kristin SZAKOS: Idolobha lase-Charlottesville lizokhipha Isicelo Samabhidi okuthengiswa kwesifanekiso futhi lizokhangisa le RFB - Isicelo Samabhidi - kabanzi, okuhlanganisa nezinhlangano ezibhekele iziza ezinomlando noma ezixhumene no-Robert E. Lee noma iMpi Yombango .
Eminye yemigomo ukuthi...
I-SZAKOS: Isifanekiso ngeke siboniswe ukuze sizwakalise ukusekela noma yimiphi imibono ethile; ukuvezwa kwesifanekiso kungcono kube semongweni wezemfundo, umlando noma wobuciko. Uma kungekho ziphakamiso eziphendulayo ezitholwayo, uMkhandlu ungacubungula umnikelo wesichuse endaweni efanele.
Mayelana nomnyakazo wesibili ebusuku, baphinde bavotela ngazwi linye ukuthi kubanjwe umncintiswano wokukhetha igama elisha lepaki.
UCharles Weber ungummeli waseCharlottesville, owayengenele ukhetho lweRiphabhulikhi eMkhandlwini Wedolobha, kanye nommangali kuleli cala. Njengomakadebona wezempi, unesithakazelo esikhethekile ekugcineni izikhumbuzo zempi.
U-CHARLES WEBER: Ngicabanga nje ukuthi izikhumbuzo zempi ziyisikhumbuzo esikhethekile salabo okufanele bahambe bayolwa; ukuthi akuzona ngempela izitatimende zezombangazwe, ziwuhlobo oluthile lokuhlonipha abantu abakwenzile. “Stonewall” Jackson kanye noRobert E. Lee babengamasosha futhi balwa impi, babengebona osopolitiki.
Ikakhulukazi, u-Weber uveza ukuthi icala limayelana nokugcina izikhulu ezikhethiwe ziphendula:
WEBER: Ngicabanga ukuthi sonke, kuzo zombili izinhlangothi zaleyo mpikiswano, inkulumo-mpikiswano yezombangazwe, sinentshisekelo enkulu yokuqinisekisa ukuthi izikhulu zethu ezikhethiwe aziphuli umthetho ngokulandela i-ajenda yezepolitiki, ngakho-ke ngicabanga ukuthi leli cala. ivumelana nomhlaba wonke.
Umbhali kanye nesishoshovu samalungelo abantu uDavid Swanson - oweseka isinqumo soMkhandlu weDolobha - usibheka ngenye indlela.
UDAVID SWANSON: Noma imuphi umkhawulo ongokomthetho ohlose ukuphika idolobha lelo lungelo kufanele kuphikiswe, futhi kufanele uchithwe uma kunesidingo. Indawo kufanele ikwazi ukunquma ukuthi ifuna ukuyikhumbula ini ezindaweni zayo zomphakathi. Akufanele kube nokuvinjelwa ukususa noma yini ehlobene nezimpi ngaphezu kokuvinjelwa ukususa noma yini ehlobene nokuthula. Yeka ubandlululo okufanele lube khona!
