It's like Deja Vu, another shooting in California and
lives unnecessarily lost this time at the hands of an agricultural
worker who killed seven people in half Moon Bay California yesterday and
this makes it the State's third mass killing in just eight days.
And there's still a lot we don't know as we learn more as timelines and
events unraveled, but this is what we do know.
Now the shooting occurred around 2:20PM at two separate locations, the police said.
Four victims were found at a mushroom farm off Highway 92 while two more people were
killed at another agricultural facility between one and three miles away.
A third victim at this second location was rushed
to the hospital in critical condition and later died.
Now the forth person there was shot and
also hospitalized with life -hreatening injuries, the police had said.
And also it's believed that the shooter, who is 67 year olds Zhao Chunli
who is pictured here works at one of the agricultural facilities and
that the victims were all workers as well.
Now the Sheriff's office said seven of the victims were men and one was a woman.
This also for the AP News, Half Moon Bay Vice Mayor Joaquin Jimenez said
the victims included Chinese and Latino farmworkers.
Some workers lived at one of the facilities and
children may have witnessed the shooting, she said.
At 4.40 in the afternoon Chunli's car was spotted parked outside of
a sheriff's substation and the moment police apprehended him.
Well, it was caught on video.
>> Now, the sheriff says after gunning down people in two different locations.
The shooter came here, sat in his car and waited.
>> Put your hands up.
>> With guns in hand, Deputies close in on the 67 year old shooting suspect.
Seconds later they've got him on the ground surrounded, hands scuffed.
The arrest comes just hours after investigators say he gunned down eight
people killing seven.
>> It seems pretty clear there that Chunli was surrendering to a certain
extent by even just sitting in that substation of police parking lot.
But we also know that IE press conference later on Monday evening while
Sheriff Christina Corpus said that a semiautomatic handgun
had been found in that maroon SUV that Chunli is registered as owning.
And what still seems to be a mystery is his motives.
We're still trying to understand exactly what happened and why,
but it's just in incredibly, incredibly tragic said state Senator Josh Becker who
represents the area and called it a very close knit agricultural community.
Now Chunli was characterized as a disgruntled worker by David Pine who
happens to be the president of the San Mateo county board of supervisors.
But we really have no details on why he was allegedly disgruntled.
We just know that there's been an unnecessary mass
shooting once again in California with a firearm, Jack.
>> So guys, we're in a slow motion massacre in America.
And the politicians are like the yout involve he cops
sitting outside doing nothing.
So there was a massacre in southern California.
Two days later, there's a massacre in northern California.
And around and around we go, in fact, this is the 38th mass shooting this year.
Well, that sounds disastrously high if we were in December, but
we're not, we're in January.
We're not even out of january.
It's in less than one month.
A mass shooting is defined as four people, not including the shooter getting shot.
But now there's a new term that I saw today for the first time.
This is sixth mass murder of this month.
Mass murderer is four people killed in a mass shooting,
not including the shooter at least.
So basically the other word for it that I've been using now for
years is a massacre.
So we've had six massacres in 23 days in the beginning of this year.
And nobody's doing anything about it and
nobody's ever going to do anything about it.
So you just have to wait and wait for
the massacre to happen in your neck of the woods.
And it's a near guarantee it will, it goes around and around and around.
So we don't know where it's gonna stop.
I look at this point, people coming to America are playing with their lives.
And staying here is playing with your life because the politicians,
this is late stage capitalism run Amok two on steroids
in every like indescribable late stage capitalism.
Because the gun manufacturers say relatively small industry would like to
maximize profit.
Our politicians are letting them kill us in massacre
after massacre without doing anything to stop it.
So now do the gun manufacturers pull the trigger?
No, do they provide the guns to kill people?
Yes, definitely, does that make a difference?
Yes, so let me show you this charts, that we showed you yesterday.
But I want you guys to see the sense of the scale, okay?
So that on the lower left is all the other developed nations on earth.
That's their gun homicide rate, tiny, right?
Why, because they strictly regulate guns.
On the all the way up right corner, that's us.
We're the only ones there,
we're the only lunatics that have allowed these nonstop massacres.
We know what's causing them.
It's directly correlated to the rate of guns owned.
And now in America, there's 120 guns for every 100 people.
The rest of the world thinks that we're absolute lunatics,
we're detached from reality.
What kind of human beings allow themselves and their kids to be massacred
on a daily basis and don't do anything about it, it's unhuman.
The rest of the world is looking at us like what is wrong with them?
Instead of being the land of opportunity, now we're the land of massacres.
But we have a small, right wing cult,
who thinks that guns are 1000 times more important than people's lives.
Massacres in schools that happen over and over again.
Our kids getting butchered.
They say who cares my guns are more important than your kids.
Maybe we should have less doors.
So they could all die in a fire hazard instead.
They're not even trying and look Adrian motive.
I'm gonna say something that might be considered controversial, who cares?
I mean, I don't care if it's a workplace thing, it's a religious thing,
a political thing, or racial thing.
That sounds like something we should care about.
Of course I care about it only if it drives more shootings, right?
But at the end of the day, it doesn't matter why you're going to do something
that leads us to believe you're mentally ill, right?
And and if specific part of mentally ill that is violent.
Not all mentally ill people are violent.
I mean, look, I think at this point about a third of the country that republicans
are all mentally ill.
They believe in insane things that can't possibly be true, but yet
they believe it with all their hearts.
They're not all violent.
But yes, there is a section of population that is prone to extreme
violence because they're mentally unstable.
And they're some of them will pick a personal grudge,
some of them pick a political grab, some racial, or religious etc.
But it doesn't really matter because that's not the unifying theme.
They're not all doing it for politics or race or crime or anything like that.
They're doing it for because they can because they can.
Imagine a room full of incredibly unstable people who can't wait to kill someone.
Well, we walk into that room as a society and we give them assault rifles and
semiautomatic guns, etc.
We go have at it Hoss But you know who's the most mentally ill?
It's not those guys.
It's us, for allowing it to happen to us over and over again.
And guys, okay, so it happened again within two days, right?
You think they're gone?
They're not, it's gonna happen two days from now.
It's gonna happen seven days from now.
It's gonna happen 4, 12, 17.
So just wait.
Just wait and hope it isn't you because our
politicians will never do anything to help you.
>> No, they won't as long as they continue collecting those coins.
And the thing is, that when we look on that global larger scale,
as you pointed out, we see that there are only three countries
in the world that currently have any kind of constitutional right to bear arms.
That's the US, Mexico and Guatemala.
And of course Mexico and Guatemala where they were inspired by the United States.
The thing is there were other countries as well.
Six other country that were also inspired by the United States and
they used to have a right to bear arms in their constitution, but
they have since repealed the laws because they know how dangerous it is when you
have a militarized society as we do.
And yet we're just this outlier sitting here,
even though we're watching our loved ones being massacred on a regular basis.
We are the only country with a right to bear arms yet,
no true constitutional restrictions on that,
even though it's junk observed yesterday, well regulated militias right there.
But for some reason the Supreme Court wants to have a bastardized reading of
the Second Amendment so that these gun manufacturers can continue to fill
the coffers of our members of Congress.
It is so incredibly disheartening to see that other countries can get it together
and avoid the loss and death of their people unnecessarily at the hands of guns.
Yet we still are on the struggle bus for this.
And so when we have now 101 mass shootings, we know that again,
there are other countries that have used models of stricter gun control and
been successful, this per CNN.
In South Africa, gun related deaths almost halved over a 10
year period after new gun legislation,
the firearms control act of 2000 went into force in July 2004.
The new laws made it much more difficult to obtain a firearm.
Britain tightened its gun laws and
banned most private handgun ownership after a mass shooting in 1996
a move that saw gun deaths dropped by almost a quarter over a decade.
These people are making wise decision to preserve the lives of their people.
Why we can't is beyond me.
>> Yeah. >> Any las thought Cenk.
>> Yeah, so last couple of things here, what number one,
the gun industry is not alone.
The healthcare industry also kills 45,000 people a year, because you don't have
health insurance because they can't afford their premiums or deductibles, et cetera.
45,000 people die every single year.
And that's a stadium full of people.
We should all be absolutely outraged by that.
But there's no outrage at all.
Why? Because mainstream media is our opiate for
the masses.
It's okay.
It's okay, don't look at the corruption.
No, no, the drug companies are paying them, the healthcare companies are paying
them insurance companies, the gun manufacturers, defense contractors,
we spend more money on defense than the other top 10 countries combined and on and
on and all of this going to death, death, death.
But it's okay, somebody's getting making a profit.
So everybody on TV it's normal.
It's normal.
It's not at all normal.
We have a gun homicide rate,
that is 18 times the average of other developed nations.
18 times not, and we're like 18% higher.
No, we're 180% higher.
Wait, I think 18 times might be 1800, whatever,
18 times larger than other countries.
So is it the guns?
It is 100% the guns.
Anyone who tells you otherwise is completely ignorant.
They don't know anything.
And I guarantee you they love their guns and they feel inadequate and
they feel like they need the guns and they're lying to you on purpose.
They're lying to themselves.
They don't know it.
They're in a trance.
Like us getting murdered at 18 times a rate.
That's a great thing.
That's called Freedom.
No, it's it's called death.
Okay, one thing that's here, let me show you the last one.
Mass shootings show that chart?
Just so you see a sense of scale because look,
there's wall to wall lies in America.
So if you go online, the right wing will say, no, we don't have as
many mass shootings or it's not a big deal or it's not gonna look at it.
Look at the number of mass shootings, gee, I wonder which one is us.
Can you tell all of this is because we allow bribery of our politicians?
If you allow bribery, every company is going to bribe the politicians.
Every industry is gonna bribe them.
Even if it means that we that we get killed for it.
We're killing ourselves from profit, because the Supreme Court legalized
bribery and the goddamned mainstream media won't call it corruption.
They won't call, by the way,
all the politicians in Washington, damn them to hell too.
Including the democrats, when are you gonna call it corruption?
When are you gonna call it bribery?
By the way, progressives in congress.
Are you ever going to act?
Look telling me that you're outraged by the guns and
that we should have gun regulation is useless, totally useless.
I know, I know progressives have been saying that democrats have been
saying that for decades, are you gonna do anything about it?
Well, what would you do about it?
Well, you would say, hey, here's a senator, and
he takes this many bribes and he's drenched in blood because of it.
No, but that would offend my dear colleagues and my colleagues feelings
are so much more important than those dead seven people in Northern California dead,
11 dead in Southern California,
hundreds murdered in these massacres already in 23, 24 days.
But we wouldn't want to offend effing senators.
Would we?
Offend them all deeply.
Talk about how corrupt they are and how they're the sickest people in America.
But no, no, no, no democrats and progressives.
No, we we've been told by mainstream media you have to be civil and
polite and you have to obey and be a good little boy and
a good little girl and get a pat on the head for being civil.
Keep being civil while we all die out here.
Okay, nothing's gonna change, ever,
as long as the progressives in Congress are neutered or
sit there like lumps on a log and are so afraid.
They're so afraid of democratic leadership.
They're so afraid of the mainstream media.
It's corporate media, It's the people that you're supposed to be fighting, but
instead you're playing patty cakes with them.
Would you like to wake the f up already?
Okay, look, the republicans are the most guilty.
Corporate democrats are the second most guilty.
Mainstream media maybe tops them all, let alone right wing media.
But yes, progressives, you're the least guilty, but
you're still guilty because you just sit there and take it,
because you've been cowed, you've been absolutely cowed.
You're on your knees.
What if corporate media criticizes me?
Who gives a damn, fight for us?
Fight for us?
God damn it!
Why did we send you fight for us?
But you won't, and more people will get killed, but
your colleagues will be so happy with you.
And Anderson Cooper and Jake Tapper and
Joy Reid will give you a pat on the head and say, good boy, good girl, shut up and
obey they'll say, and you'll do it, let's keep it real.
Again, the progressives of the least guilty.
But all of you in Washington, every politician in the country that doesn't
fight like hell, why don't you see them doing this?
But it would be on civil and the NPR new york times would say, I'm being so
uncivil, I should just let everybody get murdered.
Just let him get murdered and be civil and everybody will get along in Washington.
They'll pass that money around.
Money, say the goddamn words, corruption,
bribery say the effing words.
But you won't because you're cowards.
I said it. Live with it because that's your actions.
Young Turks will be back.
>> I'm afraid.
[MUSIC]
>> All right., let me go to members comments at tyt.com.
Cenk's left tricep of fury.
Yeah, that's a handle. Says Adrian just classes up the joint.
She does, but I ruined it for her.
And by the way, look you guys, you hear me say it every once in a while.
I'm despised by the mainstream media.
Despised.
Not allowed anywhere near cable news banned on two different networks.
The only network that hasn't technically banned me is Fox News.
Although it's de facto, okay?.
Why?
Because I insult people in the club.
The biggest offense in America.
They're so comfortable in DC while you're all getting killed in the districts.
They're so comfortable, and they don't like people that make them uncomfortable,
rabble rousers, outsiders, cares about human beings being slaughtered.
[SOUND] s I can't stand mainstream media.
I lose them, so they hate me.
The feeling is definitely mutual.
Okay, see one cable news anchor have 1% of the passion of any young Turks host.
No, the professional thing to do is seven people massacred today.
Who gives a damn [LAUGH] back to you,, Cenk.
Goddammit.
All right, I do declare says,
only in America can we have the same mass shooting for a second day in a row.
I thought I was watching yesterday's replay, but sadly I'm not by the way,
it'll happen tomorrow.
There's more than one mass shooting every day.
So they'll literally be a mass shooting to more guaranteed and
there'll be a mass shooting the day after that and the day after that.
Draw straw, hope you don't pick the short straw.
Pseudo dragon says I'm a Canadian and
visit our neighbors to the south many times.
I will never cross that border again.
For any reason it's just too dangerous.
I don't believe you may.
Parents like, there's gonna be an election in Turkey might get Erdogan's a nut,
who knows what's gonna happen, etc.
We can't go to Turkey, and I'm like crazy.
Even in the middle of a revolution, Turkey would be safer than America.
Is there any country where there's a massacre almost every single day?
You don't need political upheaval for that.
We just have right now.
We have it because we have political stability,
the beloved status quo that every freaking report in this country loves so much.
Does this look like a good status quo to you, all right?
My really hiatus writes in,
remember learning that the Boston massacre was significant because of its death toll.
That event had three people killed and wounded eight others.
Today wouldn't even qualify as a mass murder.
Today is just a Tuesday.
That is literally true by the way, the shootout at the O.K.
Corral the wild West man, that's what America.
There's two people killed in the shootout at the O.K.
Corral and the whole country was outraged.
Now two people literally doesn't register.
The O.K. Corral on massive steroids is where we live every single day.
Funding for fun says, US doesn't care when folks die from curable illnesses,
why I care about gun deaths.
Of course, there's profit to be made, and there's bribes to be had.
Every one of those sick politicians is deeply corrupt.
