『Series of Gun Violence Incidents, Coincidence or Plan?』

『…This morning at 9:20 AM, in a suburban area of Los Angeles, a gun violence incident occurred. A Hispanic male…』

『…Let’s look at the video footage. Here, if you closely examine the upper body of this man, you can see he has a long stick tucked under his arm. As he passes through the revolving door of the targeted building, he pulls out the item he had concealed. It appears to be an AR-15 with the stock removed, and judging by the automatic firing mode, it’s likely modified for civilian use or presumed military…』

A series of gun violence incidents.

The United States has been thrown into upheaval by continuous gun violence incidents happening everywhere, not just in a single area.

Even though it’s a country accustomed to killing one another with guns, “mass shooting” is a different problem entirely.

Especially this wave of gun violence is drawing attention because it’s all taking place in broad daylight, not in high-risk areas, but rather in safe zones where many people frequent.

Consequently, people could not help but pay attention to this gun violence.

With mass shootings frequently appearing in the news, it’s only natural to be curious about the underlying reasons. And mixed within that curiosity is quite a bit of anxiety and fear regarding the question, “Is this happening in my area too?”… With the news circulating, it seems asking that question wouldn’t be an easy task.

…Right.

That was the problem.

“Gun violence… ha. Damn it. What sort of gun violence is this? It’s war.”

It would have been better if it were mere coincidence, or at least if some crazy folks were deliberately terrorizing society to create chaos.

Terrifyingly, the series of incidents shared a commonality.

A commonality that even a fool would likely notice.

Agents.

From the base to government facilities, extending to safe houses.

They had targeted every place with agents present.

“What is this, the Cold War…?”

It’s blatant.

The intent to openly wage war is so clear it’s almost too evident.

To think they would barged in where agents are and unleash gunfire?

Not even targeting just a single organization, but spraying gunfire wherever agents might be. As if they were boldly declaring that they are prepared to take on all agents in America—or intelligence agencies for that matter—as if saying, “We know about you, and we’re ready to kill you all.”

It’s a ridiculous act.

Even during the time of the Soviet Union, such actions were unheard of in espionage conflicts.

All sorts of tricks could be used, but they didn’t go around mindlessly killing or injuring people.

It’s absurd.

It’s simply absurd…

“Ha. Damn it. Coming out so recklessly makes it harder to respond. Crap.”

Terribly it seems such acts indeed have been effective.

Every time I think of those doing such things, my head starts to throb.

Due to the development of the internet, controlling the media like in the past is tough.

The media rushes around like mad, eager to scoop the exclusive story just a bit quicker than the online news platforms.

The internet broadcasters, trying to attract attention, make a ruckus…

The more I think about it, the more my brain feels like a trash can, utterly confused.

If only we had a closed internet environment like China.

Those folks could just censor the internet, send in public security to filter out any unsavory elements, and quiet things down.

America found that difficult.

Because it was a liberal state.

Or rather, even if it were possible—it would indeed be difficult now.

Thanks to the timely video and photos that were captured and broadcasted, this event has already been dragged into the public eye. Asking about it now would surely be a bad move.

…the Streisand effect.

A phenomenon where attempts to hide or censor information only draw more attention and cause more information to spread.

That kind of phenomenon is bound to occur.

If that happens, people would start to identify the commonality in the locations targeted, and once that fact spreads through the news—that would be the… hmm.

Well. It’s certain that it would be a bigger hassle than it is now.

So what should be done?

How can we naturally divert the focus so it doesn’t dig deeper?

How can we steer people’s interest away from ‘agents’?

How can we ensure American citizens aren’t frantically searching for the groups or countries undertaking such acts against American intelligence agents?

Is there a kind of magic method to accomplish this?

…

…

…

There is.

Surprisingly, it’s a very traditional method that has been used for a long time.

A method that has worked very well from ancient times to the present!

[Everyone! Have you heard about the ongoing gun violence incidents? Have you seen the horror of the relentless gun violence appearing in the news? Just from this morning’s gun violence news, one, two, three, four, five… Oh my goodness! We’ve exceeded the number a single hand can count! And do you know what’s even more astonishing? That all the news refers to different incidents! Not just one tragedy, but different scoundrels shooting other innocent citizens in various regions! It’s truly a horrifying affair!]

[It’s all the immigrants’ fault! When those disgusting, blue idiots took power, they loosened regulations, leading to this mess! People! The standards of the past were precisely that—standards. Conditions required to set foot in this country, to live here, to become our neighbors!

Yet these stupid and incompetent fools look only at the profits before their eyes, loosening even those minimal standards and start accepting anyone indiscriminately, thanks to which we ended up with neighbors that fall far below that threshold! Instead of neighbors tending to their gardens, hosting parties to foster friendships, and nurturing their faith by attending church weekly, we’ve accepted neighbors who are lacking in so many ways!

Just imagine! Neglecting the garden, drawing curtains to create a sense of incongruity, only mingling with people from their own country rather than hosting parties, and instead of going to church, attending mosques or cathedrals as idol worshippers!

How terrible is that! We did not want such neighbors! Nobody wished for such people to be neighbors! If it weren’t for that stupid and incapable regime, this kind of nightmare wouldn’t have happened!

We need to drive all those immigrants away! Those unwanted guests must be sent back to their own countries, and America should be a land only for Americans!]

[From the foolish redneck with a burnt neck to the Boomers. We live alongside countless people stuck in the past who refuse to understand others. They say, “Oh, why do we need anything new? We’re comfortable with this! We find this works for us, so we don’t need anything else!”

Ha ha. Just thinking about it seems idiotic. If we follow their reasoning, if all you need is to make a call, then we don’t need smartphones, and since they can’t even handle it, we wouldn’t need things like the internet, and America is a strong country so we just need to focus on weapon development and farming, right? Isn’t that so?

Blah blah blah… They have so many complaints but can’t embrace the new. Just think about the consequence of following their claim that there’s no need for anything new. Instead of aircraft carriers, we’d be living on steamships chugging along, puffing steam, and our fighter jets would be biplanes from the Wright Brothers flying around, and instead of having nice rifles at home, we’d have a single Springfield rifle! Oh, and riding carriages or horses instead of cars wouldn’t be half bad either. Hmm. That sounds somewhat cool like a cowboy! But the smell of horse manure? Not so much! Hahaha!

Republicans are always like this. They refuse to acknowledge their faults and consistently claim that we are wrong, that new things are bad, and that new policies are bad. They imagine that if they just close their eyes and hide in the countryside, all the problems will resolve themselves.

People, pay attention! Look closely at the faces of those responsible for the gun violence incidents. Are their faces special? Do they have four eyes, or their skin shining in rainbow colors? Two eyes, one nose, one mouth. Average folks you’d find anywhere. They’re even proud American citizens born and raised here, holding American citizenship.

So what’s the problem? Poverty is the issue. Yes. The poverty born from the policies of greedy Republicans led to this gun violence. They use immigrants as a distraction to shift the blame. They won’t even dare speak of their commitment to ensuring no one remains in poverty.

Do you understand? The ugliness of the Republicans!]

The answer is politics.

Those who have a keen interest are pitted against each other, fighting.

Those with less interest make things tiresome.

And those who pay no attention wretch at the thought of it starting all over again.

A traditional and very effective…

* * *

Traditional.

Effective.

“Heh heh. Just as expected, it’s ignited a political fire.”

That means predictions can be made.

This is the first chaos caused by Park Jinseong.
