Even as we’ve battled the pandemic, we’ve
continued to neglect the longer-lasting epidemic of gun violence in
America. Although the shooter’s motive is not yet clear, the
identity of the victims underscores an alarming rise in anti-Asian
violence that must end.— Barack Obama (@BarackObama)

新冠疫情使全球亞裔族群遭歧視、攻擊比例大增,前日美國亞特蘭大發生的一起槍擊案,8名死者有6名亞裔人士,疑似仇亞行徑引發各界譴責。美前總統奧巴馬呼籲仇亞暴力必須終止,並再次強調適當管製槍支的重要性。
Yesterday’s shootings are another tragic
reminder that we have far more work to do to put in place
commonsense gun safety laws and root out the pervasive patterns of
hatred and violence in our society.— Barack Obama (@BarackObama)

奧巴馬在推特發布3篇推文,寫道“即便正與新冠疫情奮戰,我們仍忽視了美國槍支暴力這個長期流行病,雖然槍手的動機尚不明了,但受害者的身份彰顯了一件事實,那就是對亞裔持續升高的暴力行徑必須被終結。”
Michelle and I pray for the victims, their
families, everyone grieving these needless and devastating
killings—and we urge meaningful action that will save lives.— Barack Obama (@BarackObama)

奧巴馬的另一則推文說,“槍擊事件提醒了我們,在槍支安全立法及根除社會仇恨、暴力的工作上,我們離取得共識還有一大段路要走。”奧巴馬提到,他和夫人蜜雪兒為受害者及其家庭祈禱,強調所有人都對這起毫無必要的殺傷事件感到悲痛,敦促當局采取有效行動保障大眾生命安全。
