gun-violence

The Kansas City Chiefs' victory parade last week turned from a scene of celebration to horror after a mass shooting killed one person and injured 22 others, including 11 children. While Democrats have rightfully taken aim at Missouri's loose gun laws, there's more to America's gun violence epidemic than laws alone. From westward expansion to the US-Israeli bombardment of Gaza today, American gun culture is a product of settler colonialism and genocide. Edge of Sports TV host Dave Zirin explains in this edition of 'Choice Words'.

Host Jah Scribe is back and he's fed up of all these mass shootings. He explains the government does nothing to stop them. The politicians make money off death and so does nothing. America should be a shame that gun violence is the leading cause of death in children in America. Inner-city youths killing each other at an alarming rate.

Effective gun control, violating the Mona Lisa, how to deal with animal abusers & more.

Alternate Current Radio Presents: BOILER ROOM - Learn to protect yourself from predatory mass media.

In the second part of this June 2nd, 2022 edition of BOILER ROOM the gang is looking at the 'mass shooting' phenomenon and the Uvalde event in particular as it is the latest one (at the time of this recording). The public outrage over the way the police work and the media reporting took place is right up the Boiler Room's conversational alley. Following the not so subtle statements about potential gun control and unconstitutional legislation from politicians in the wake of alleged mass shootings must also be examined. People of all political persuasions want to know, how could the response to the event be bungled so badly? Why is the mainstream reporting of the timeline and facts so drastically contradictory over the first week of the event? Why does the media downplay just how bad the response was even when they are forced to recognize it due to the overwhelming dissatisfaction of the public? All this and more in this massive overdrive segment.

About the Special Fathers Network -
SFN is a dad to dad mentoring program for fathers raising children with special needs. Many of the 400+ SFN Mentor Fathers, who all are raising kids with special needs, have said: "I wish there was something like this when we first received our child's diagnosis. I felt so isolated. There was no one within my family, at work, at church or within my friend group who understood or could relate to what I was going through."

SFN Mentor Fathers share their experiences with younger dads closer to the beginning of their journey raising a child with the same or similar special needs. The SFN Mentor Fathers do NOT offer legal advice or medical advice, that is what lawyers and doctors do. They simply share their experiences and how they have made the most of a challenging situation.
