Your point about immigrants not having the same resources to heal from traumatic experiences is very important and especially true for immigrant farm workers in Half Moon Bay, my hometown. Half Moon Bay farm workers are paid well below minimum wage, live on the property they work on, and aren't even given enough time off to go to the doctor. Most of them do not have cars and the bus system in our rural city is atrocious. It is a situation comparable to indentured servitude. The incident that caused this shooting was a supervisor demanding the suspect, who lived off $9 an hour in one of the most expensive areas in the state, pay $100 for a minor workplace accident. This type of financial abuse may be fairly common given what we know about the industry. People are housed in crowded shipping containers and barns and charities have had to rise to the occasion to bus medical services to them. HR services and community transparency are non-existent. The silver lining in this horrible loss of life is that authorities are finally looking into the working conditions at these farms. I hope sometime soon there will be a way for Half Moon Bay residents to report other criminal businesses we know of without getting possibly undocumented employees deported.
They came to America with the induced mindset that they could better their lives Then end up working at a cheap restaurant with no hope, stress, and what not. Would have been better off in their home country where they get their basic necessities taken care of
Just wanted to say y’all are genuinely impressive and responsible with your content. As a non Asian viewer who honestly subscribed for food I’m glad I found this aspect of your media, all diasporas need to be represented and y’all have taught me so much and have made me way less ignorant when it comes to the Asian community and I’m grateful for real. Y’all some 💯 ass brothers thank you 🙏🏾
7:20 David, you're wrong about the news intentionally being there to film the takedown of the suspect. I'm in the Bay Area and was following the news. What happened was there was supposed to be a press conference at the San Mateo County Sherriff's substation in Half Moon Bay to update the situation, so all the news media started gathering there. Nobody, including the police, expected the suspect would show up at the police station to turn himself in. They all thought he was on the run. Luckily, one officer there noticed the vehicle that matched the witness description was parked right outside so they ordered him out and took him into custody. Since the media just coincidentally happened to be nearby, they started filming obviously. The guy was in the car calling his wife and basically saying I love you, good-bye because he knew he was going to prison for life or about to take his own life.
thanks for this discussion guys. you two are an asset to the asian american community for real. i havent been able to follow these stories closely because ive been busy with work, so thanks for this little summation and your thoughts. i am really fearful for the elderly asian/asian american community because there are probably a lot of them that are feeling destitute and left behind (and you make a fantastic point about them not being able to take advantage of the social outreach and support programs because either they dont know they exist or cant do it because of language or culture etc) and also the elderly Asians in general because I'm sure they will face some backlash from racist idiots and attacks on the streets will see a bump up. This is the first generation where a lot the elderly have internet, social media and cell phones so i can only imagine the culture shock they experience and the high possibility becoming further ostracized from society or made to feel like life has passed them by. it really makes me sad to think about it. i think its only going to get worse before it gets better.
The Half Moon Bay Mushroom farm suspect Chunli Zhao - had worked for the Half Moon Bay farm before the shooting. The Star Dance Studio suspect Tran was a former dance instructor there. The two shootings do not appear to be linked criminally. Sociologically, many older Asian immigrant men find life in American difficult socially and economically (beyond any hate crime and racial discrimination factors) such that a before the Pandemic good number of them do not stay in America. However, pandemic travel restrictions may make returning back to Asia from American more difficult now. These suspects appear to be isolated and I do not see any evidence that there is an NRA or government agency influencing either suspect.
I tried to help a Cambodian man in my neighborhood pay for his sweet. I think as a woman that’s younger that’s American I have so much privilege. He didn’t look at me and he refused my help. Thank you for your compassion for mental health in our community . I am worried about the conditions of these workers in the trailers . I wish for more information. I feel real bad for these workers who do not have opportunities to leave
It is important to continue having these difficult conversations. I am an immigrant, read, speak, and write fluent Chinese (Mandarin and Taiwanese), and grew-up in the 626. What I have seen are some broken promises, isolation, and loneliness for many of older Chinese men. Especially those who have flew here, in search of better opportunities, only to be faced with rejection and isolation not only from the mainstream society due to language barrier, institutional racism, and even rejection within our own community. This is too much to handle for anyone! There need to be awareness and acknowledgement of our struggles as immigrants and find common grounds. When I go shopping at the Asian groceries or some of the herbal shops, I make a point to smile and nod at the elders. It's amazing to see their faces light-up from being acknowledged. They have stories to share with all of us. It is up to ALL of us to listen and take in their lessons! Again, THANK YOU for having this difficult conversation! Let's dim sum with our elders!!!
What institutional racism against senior citizen Asian men? In terms of jobs? They can just get a job as a Walmart greeter just like senior citizens of all races and genders. If they have a hard time finding a job it has to do because of ageism and not racism. Ageism is the number one most acceptable tolerated form of discrimination in mainstream society.
@@josephimperatrice5552 wow. You really are full of yourself. Is this a guy thing? Because I sometimes do it, and I have guy friends who do it. I also have a woman friend who does it, but I attributed it to her whiteness. It's a really annoying personality trait, and when you threadjack, on a tragic subject like this, it's a really bad look. SMH.
I was not expecting the Year of the Rabbit to be the year Asian elders strike back. I know this is a case of workplace violence because they said Zhao was a disgruntled worker, but it does feel like a copycat murder too. Maybe he saw what happened in Monterey Park with a 72-year-old mass shooter, and thought "hey, that's a good idea, I can do that too to solve this problem since I have a gun."
These werent random mass shootings too. In both cases both shooters weren't targeting random people. They were going after people who they deemed had "Wronged" them in some way. Everyone needs to be aware of how you talk or make other people around you feel. I know in Asian culture usually elders will praise someone thats successful and they dont realize if you constantly praising someone it makes people around you feel more inadequate and feel like a failure. Im not saying thats what happened here but its just an example that really hurts someones mental health and you dont even know it.
No that is way too convoluted a way to live. It's basically just walking on eggshells. I'm not a "everyone is too sensitive now" person I think we should all be respectful of each other, AND know how to handle situations when we feel we have been wronged. Now let's say these men did feel wronged...then they should have communicated with whoever that they had this issue! Human interactions are a 2 way street. Like the guys are saying this is not done in the Asian community and well this is a result...so the question is how do we treat this problem so the answer isn't shoot someone who wronged not let's just always be afraid to like have real human interactions.
I live in Rosemead, close to Monterey Park. I've noticed in the past five years a major jump in homeless Asian men living in vehicles. I just don't there's any support for these men. They felt invisible and leftover
For real. I do a safety walk in MPK and SG, and see this weekly. They're also in tents sometimes. I also see this in Koreatown and skid row. Women are also unhoused. You just don't see them as much.
We are The Model Minority. A community in denial. Addiction, poverty, hunger, homelessness, mental health...... none of those problems exist in our community. We are all successful and high achievers. This is why Asian people do not have a non-profit to help.
@@chinatownboy7482 It's really stunning. It also surprises me when people who have no home, or might be addicted, also repeat back Model Minority stuff to me. They've really done a number on us. Got us all hooked on hopium.
FACT: The Half Moon Bay shooter has a history of violence with a restraining order place upon him for threatening to kill his roommate. So this is a case of another unstable anti-social disordered individual. Just like the mentally disordered road rage attacker who was driving a Tesla. Let's not make it into a "linked to" false labeling. Tesla owners aren't violent because of that case, and this shooter had a streak of aggression and violence. So if he can access a gun, chances are high he will act out his violent tendencies. It's a failure on the government for not having this person flagged on a database to alert gun dealers.
I said it before and I'll say it again: it's not that surprising that it was an older Asian male. This particular demographic probably has it at the very worst right now in America. Asian males have always been devalued in Western Society and when you throw in no wife, no children, and old age, it pretty much makes them worthless in the eyes of western society. I can't think of a particular demographic more ostracized and excluded in Western society than this. These old asian males obviously did this because they had nothing to lose & wanted others to feel their pain. Not saying that was rightful justification, but more into the psychotic reasoning for why they did what they did.
You are the only platform having this conversation. Thank you! Acknowledging the complexity, nuance, cultural taboos, stigma, stereotypes, and keeping a fair even keel in perspective and trying to have a real conversation about trying to find a real solution. Bless you guys. Perhaps this is a more optimistic sign of how this year and the future can continue to restore a sense of humanity.
First, I think the AAPI community needs more bilingual culturally competent mental health resources. Second, there must be better gun control. Neither of these men should have owned guns.
When someone decides their life is no longer worth living this is what happens. The question is why do we have a world where people will feel that way???
As an Ex-Postal worker of 21 yrs I’ve always hated that term going postal when people snapped it was because of constant harassment, I myself felt as if I was about too snap so I walked like so many others. Harass the actual workers and ignore the ones that’s not doing their part just make the that’s actually doing their part carry the weight of the ones that’s just taking up space and collecting a check.
Crime going up? You don't say.... What do you think would happen when we have DAs not prosecuting crime and the Media amplifiying the Defund the Policement movement.
Im a pro gun. Ive get a gun to protect myself and family and do all the classes needed to own and carry one. I dont like the fact that mass shooting is happening but i also not taking chances. The media should stop sharing this detail new to prevent too ideas to bad people and making them a copycat. I dont believe in gun control specially this still happens in the most gun controlled state. Bad people will harm others in one way in another. I rather have the advantage to protect my family with a gun
They are now finding out the living condition of these farm workers. Literially 6 people living together in a shipping container. I think the working condition is horrible as well. They probably get paid dirt cheap. And the shooter said he got charge $100 for a farm equipment that someone else damage. That altogether must've drove him over the edge.
I think any conversation around violenc, crimes, and mental health are extremely nuanced. Rarely though do I hear about how men and women both have equal access to guns but at least 90% of mass shootings are caused by men. I think we need to speak more about healthy masculinity. I really wonder what things would be like if we cultivated a culture and society that provided space and encouraged healthy masculinity. If less people were lonely and had less deterents to getting help.
More women commit suicide. More women commit fraud and identity theft. More men get tickets for exhibition of speed. More women get tickets for distracted driving. More men use blunt force and an instrument. More women use poison.
You can’t attribute mental health issues as the cause to these mass shootings. I am not trying to dismiss the effects of mental health issues but it’s getting to a point that people who are trying to avoid gun control discourse use this as a scapegoat. The US doesn’t have a monopoly on mental health issues because other developed countries experience mental health issues but don’t result to rampant gun violence. Gun control has to take place because other people who say there is no need either are lying to you or economically benefit from these gun sales like the NRA or gun manufacturers. And whenever legislation that proposes mental health resources appears, those same people who credit mental health as the cause but only to avoid gun control, are the same ones who Vote it down
As a Mexican Mexico has pretty fucking strong gun laws, yet gun violence is rampant and reducing it to cartel specific violence doesn't sum it up, and like the Mexico example there's so many other countries that have strict gun laws yet it doesn't work.
The problem is gun control is #1, isn't implemented on a wide enough scale, and #2, targets the wrong areas. The Monterey Park shooter in this case used an illegal weapon, with an illegal magazine, and an illegal homemade suppressor. The sheer amount of weapons in America still allows for these individuals to obtain them even if they are banned. The Buffalo Shooter brought 30 round magazines that are illegal in NY by going across state lines to PA. There are too many guns in general, and too many states without the same gun laws to use as a loophole. On the legal side, the Half Moon Bay shooter had restraining orders filed against him and threatened to kill his roommate before. Yet, he was still able to purchase a semi-automatic pistol that was used in the mass shootings. Gun control also needs to address how we can more effectively prevent disturbed people from legally obtaining firearms. In my opinion, the minimum we should be doing is treating guns the same way that we treat cars. If you want to own a gun, you should have to pass a background check, a written test on the laws regarding that firearm, and a shooting test to ensure that you can safely operate it whether it be for self defense, recreational shooting, or for hunting. Signs of violence and disturbed behavior will result in the weapon being confiscated, and those with histories of mental illness + violent outbursts should be barred from purchasing one entirely.
you can’t? or you won’t? stop trying to frame this arguement so you’re right. if you want an honest picture deal with just the facts and leave your feelings out of this analysis. i think it’s a deflection to make this about guns when it is a mental health issue. why do people dismiss the drama that’s going on in peoples lives to blame shooters or the laws in place. i get it, the government makes the laws and those in service are expected to be of service. but if you don’t consider this a mental health issue, what do you consider divorces and what happens to most families? you don’t think they have mental health issues? seriously, people constantly cherry pick to try to be righteous but your pretenses are all wrong when you preface your analysis by saying ‘you can’t blame mass shootings on mental health’ when you didn’t even consider why these people did what they did and that it’s not normal for a health minded contributing member of society to go and end the lives of people unrelated to them in physical life ending danger. people who want to win an arguement and dismiss others because they don’t agree with it are the problem because they practice closed minded living
Dam that's just crazy, I wouldn't have even know about this situation if it was for subscribing to your channel. What a mess the world has become. People are just simply killing each other without remorse.
I'm not surprised of Asian on Asian crime. Remember Natasha H shot by Asian lady for nothing, the little 6 year old boy, and the 14 year old banged by Asian store owner and his son. You're not above checking but you two are keeping it Gangsta (real)💯. I Respect that fellas 🔥
I’m more left leaning on the gun control debate, where I believe average citizens should never be able to own semi automatic guns, anything that can fire a volley of bullets in a matter of seconds. Anything like bolt action rifles or pump action shotguns, single/double barreled or anything else like that is fine with me. Biggest issue we face with gun control is that each state implements their own gun laws, where it should be on the federal level because nobody is stopping someone from legally buying a gun in one state and bringing it into another. Horrible stuff man and I feel for the victims and their loved ones, take care of each other y’all
I don’t care how many people die my gun rights over your kids. Besides too many black and Hispanic gangs. And incels created by toxic women’s lib rad feminists.
Conspiracy Theories are common now, not just because “they are creative and fun”. It’s more about societies crumbing about, politicians not being prosecuted for corruption, those who have power/wealth becoming more powerful and implanting major change in a whim, and talks/negotiations/agendas being done behind closed doors. So it’s actually a natural phenomenon. More and people are wondering what the hell is going on. And losing faith in our system.
The word conspiracy is what they use to discredit the truth. We all know what happened in Epstein Island and there's a list of people that went to that Island (mostly your super rich and politicians) to have sex with underage kids. Why aren't we talking about that list anymore? I think we live in a system of unjust and these what you called conspiracy theorists are merely trying to expose the truth so maybe the world will get a break from these corruptions.
CAA and CPA local nonprofits are investigating and learning about the working conditions of the farm workers.. it did not sound like a good deal. It seems there is worker abuse and underpayment for the entire time. What do we do with isolated workers with no help or ways to hold employers accountable? Even though it doesn’t excuse these actions. What resources can we provide to these workers ? We all know new immigrants can get stuck in cycles of abuse and poverty,
I think we should investigate into what is the motive that causes this person to do this before we start coming up with ideas on gun control or whatever ideas we reminiscent of, you can't cure a disease if you don't know what it is
Simply put, people with a higher degree to propensity for violence need to have evals annually. If they don't choose to partake then they should not own a firearm.
You know, it's really nice here in the Philippines, you usually get shot if you wronged someone. The question in my mind as I'm too lazy to google it: 1. What's his (the shooter) background? 2. What is his relation to the victims or so called victims? 3. What drove the shooter to perpetrate such?
Nothing more than "cultural assimilation" shown by these terrible acts in Cali. Unfortunately, the behavior is as American as apple pie now. Did you see the behavior on J6? Some of our leadership is even pretending it was not so. Hell, it was set up by many in our leadership without consequences. These Asian men were actually immigrants here, and they were are assimilating to our culture just like they were asked too. Unfortunately, this craziness is who we are now. I'm sick of it.
There is a guy in my neighborhood who lives alone in a rather large house. Seems nice enough with the hellos, but both my wife and I find him to be someone we don’t want to be friends with. Never odd behavior, he just seems off. I do want to nice and be a friend, but it’s a risk.
but what if it's a risk not to be? it can be very hard to tell in these cases, when you're so off-put that you're compelled to avert your eyes from something when you really can't afford to . in fact, what if that "offness" is resentment toward you given that you're not alone? i don't mean to alarm you, but i'd probably have trouble sleeping soundly and would either try to engage a bit more proactively to the extent possible or think about trying to move...
I always get so disappointed everytime there is an asian involved, because Asians are still non-existent in this society. There has been too many asian violent incidents. Going way back to virginia tech which was one of the biggest mass shooting. The MIT student who killed the yale student. Recently a 29 year old enrolling in a NJ high school as a 14 year old freshman. There is already a lot of asian hate. Yes people need to be more kind to others. Thank you for doing that.
There is a guy that used to work for us, who I would say fits 10 out of 10 things that would make him a prime candidate for someone who might do something horrific like the recent mass shooters. But who and how do you report this person to and what would you say about him. They always talk about asking those around the shooter after the fact, why didn't you do something, but how could you possibly report someone who hasn't done anything yet.
The Mao one child policy is coming to roost from the mainland to any where people from China have settled. There aren't enough females to pair up. It has caused economic and mental distress on the individuals.
I think that is a great point - so many people have no one to connect to and they are alone. Something as simple as a smile and offering a meal could make all the difference. Countries that make it a priority to care about mental illness should be inspiring to other countries. I have strong opinions about gun control - there should be absolutely no reason for a civilian to own an automatic weapon that is only meant to kill large numbers of people - no reason. Or any person really. As for Asians being less involved in mass shootings - I know that some Asian culture has a great deal of pressure involved with work and home life. Perhaps with these recent shootings these elderly men felt helpless, angry, alone and it just became a rage that they couldn't control. So sad for those lost, and hurt. I don't care about the politics - take care of the mentally ill, look at solutions for poverty and care for the elderly, and realize that gun control can make a huge difference in saving lives.
@@accordiongordon I agree with you, both shooting were because of a dispute, and *the victims were ALL Chinese.* Sympathizing with vicious attacks and racism against Chinese/Asian people, particularly the elderly, should be entirely separate and unrelated to the shooting.
I’m not saying anything original by pointing out that America is built on the idea of self reliance. We can all wish to live in a safe and civilized society, but when the reality that we’re all faced with says otherwise, we have no choice but to rely on ourselves. The police cannot be everywhere and the minutes it takes for them to arrive is more than enough for an attacker to kill scores of people. A competent shooter can switch magazine in under 3 seconds and continue shooting so restricting magazine capacity isn’t a realistic solution and the US Supreme Court looks to have it struck down anyway. We should all understand that being peaceful doesn’t mean being harmless. And being prepared to defend ourselves and our loved ones is a responsibility that we cannot avoid. Wishing to live in peace in a civilized country is something we should all strive for and that includes doing our part to be self reliant. By definition, people with criminal intent will ignore any law that gets in their way. So passing more laws that will be ignored by criminals seems delusional to me. Anyway, we should all go figure out the right path for ourselves on how to be self reliant, because that is the reality in America.
Tell that to Australia and the UK when it comes to stabbings and school shootings based on population density. Also if China had a second amendment then it would probably belong to Taiwan again aka the original China
I know people are going to disagree with me when I say this, but I do not think... THAT ANYONE ANYWHERE IN ANY COUNTRY SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS. I BELIEVE THAT GUNS SHOULD ONLY BE USED IN WAR. Otherwise these things will continue to happen. You see everybody what happens ESPECIALLY HERE IN AMERICA, THIS IS THE MOST TRAGIC THING ABOUT THIS COUNTRY, AND THAT IS THE WAY THAT THE LAW KEEP SLOWLY ALLOWING WHAT USED TO BE ILLEGAL TO BECOME LEGAL, AND THAT IS WHY THESE TRAGEDIES CONTINUE TO HAPPEN. THE MORE THAT THE GOVERNMENT ALLOWS EVERYDAY PEOPLE TO HAVE MORE AND MORE CONTROL OVER WHAT THEY BUY AND SELL OR CONSUMED AND SMOKE, THE MORE CHAOS WILL OCCUR. THE GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO STOP GIVING IN TO A BUNCH OF TWO-YEAR-OLDS WHINING AND COMPLAINING ABOUT WHAT THEY WANT WHILE LIVING IN GROWN FOLKS BODIES, AND ALSO I THINK THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS THAT SHOULD BE ILLEGAL FOR PEOPLE TO DO THAT ARE NOT.😎 Yo hot pot boys MUCH LOVE!✌️
@@accordiongordon first of all it's not hard to follow what I'm saying, if you just read what I'm saying instead of looking at the font of the words. You're not trying to read what I'm saying. You're just looking for an excuse to be negative about what I'm saying. And secondly I'm not rage typing. I'm emphasizing the point typing.😎
I feel like these two incidents will only exacerbate the polarization that Americans hold towards Chinese people or Asians in general. But for two geriatrics to commit such atrocities within such a short period of time of one another is kind of crazy.
yo yo, my mans you see that Moon Bay fool he was rocking a Lexus not an old one too so he was not broke looking. Probably something just snapped him and didnt see an outlet. Im not giving excuses but trying to find answers.
It's the change in the culture of the US. It is now ok to overtly demonstrate your displeasures physically and verbally as this is being portrayed by people in authority.
That man who got mad at you over you gifting him shoes shows that, that man needs deliverance pray that over him. May he receive the Holy Spirit! May he forgive and be set free because unforgiveness has held him back from being set free!
i encourage more people to own guns in America...given the inevitable gun existence in your daily life. better to have a level footing. as a Chinese, i dont know why the focus becomes mental health of disgruntled old Asian males... every country has these kind of people, its also inevitable....u guys need to push for controlled access to firearms or just arm everyone.
If you are legally able and physically capable, you should be getting your conceal carry permit and training. Your safety and the safety of your family is your responsibility and yours alone.
You have kids as young as 6 year olds bringing guns to school to kill students and teachers - definitely a challenge providing mental health support if possible or effective in preventing gun violence - considering the difficulty of gun control, mass murders and gun violence will continue to be an ongoing reality in the USA.
Did we forgot about the two other Asian shooters Choi v tech 2007. And that Japanese American in Hawaii 1999 or 2000. Then there was also the Viet, Chinatown, Hmong, Lao, and Cambodian gangs in America. Don’t they also have gang shootings.
The Viet gangs were actually predominantly ethnic Chinese from Vietnam and not really Vietnamese. If you go back and research the Viet gangs from the 1980s and 1990s, they were nearly all ethnic Chinese.

This type of financial abuse may be fairly common given what we know about the industry. People are housed in crowded shipping containers and barns and charities have had to rise to the occasion to bus medical services to them. HR services and community transparency are non-existent. The silver lining in this horrible loss of life is that authorities are finally looking into the working conditions at these farms. I hope sometime soon there will be a way for Half Moon Bay residents to report other criminal businesses we know of without getting possibly undocumented employees deported.
“When a man has nothing to lose, he can do anything he wants. He doesn’t fear death, humiliation, and fear.”

I was not expecting the Year of the Rabbit to be the year Asian elders strike back. I know this is a case of workplace violence because they said Zhao was a disgruntled worker, but it does feel like a copycat murder too. Maybe he saw what happened in Monterey Park with a 72-year-old mass shooter, and thought "hey, that's a good idea, I can do that too to solve this problem since I have a gun."
These werent random mass shootings too. In both cases both shooters weren't targeting random people. They were going after people who they deemed had "Wronged" them in some way. Everyone needs to be aware of how you talk or make other people around you feel. I know in Asian culture usually elders will praise someone thats successful and they dont realize if you constantly praising someone it makes people around you feel more inadequate and feel like a failure. Im not saying thats what happened here but its just an example that really hurts someones mental health and you dont even know it.
No that is way too convoluted a way to live. It's basically just walking on eggshells. I'm not a "everyone is too sensitive now" person I think we should all be respectful of each other, AND know how to handle situations when we feel we have been wronged. Now let's say these men did feel wronged...then they should have communicated with whoever that they had this issue! Human interactions are a 2 way street. Like the guys are saying this is not done in the Asian community and well this is a result...so the question is how do we treat this problem so the answer isn't shoot someone who wronged not let's just always be afraid to like have real human interactions.

Thanks for verbalizing what we’re feeling and thinking. 🙏🏼
“A child that is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth” - African proverb
Applies to all people, not just children.
I live in Rosemead, close to Monterey Park. I've noticed in the past five years a major jump in homeless Asian men living in vehicles. I just don't there's any support for these men. They felt invisible and leftover
For real. I do a safety walk in MPK and SG, and see this weekly. They're also in tents sometimes. I also see this in Koreatown and skid row. Women are also unhoused. You just don't see them as much.
We are The Model Minority. A community in denial. Addiction, poverty, hunger, homelessness, mental health...... none of those problems exist in our community. We are all successful and high achievers. This is why Asian people do not have a non-profit to help.
@@chinatownboy7482 It's really stunning. It also surprises me when people who have no home, or might be addicted, also repeat back Model Minority stuff to me. They've really done a number on us. Got us all hooked on hopium.

FACT: The Half Moon Bay shooter has a history of violence with a restraining order place upon him for threatening to kill his roommate. So this is a case of another unstable anti-social disordered individual. Just like the mentally disordered road rage attacker who was driving a Tesla. Let's not make it into a "linked to" false labeling. Tesla owners aren't violent because of that case, and this shooter had a streak of aggression and violence. So if he can access a gun, chances are high he will act out his violent tendencies. It's a failure on the government for not having this person flagged on a database to alert gun dealers.
I said it before and I'll say it again: it's not that surprising that it was an older Asian male. This particular demographic probably has it at the very worst right now in America. Asian males have always been devalued in Western Society and when you throw in no wife, no children, and old age, it pretty much makes them worthless in the eyes of western society. I can't think of a particular demographic more ostracized and excluded in Western society than this. These old asian males obviously did this because they had nothing to lose & wanted others to feel their pain. Not saying that was rightful justification, but more into the psychotic reasoning for why they did what they did.
You are the only platform having this conversation. Thank you! Acknowledging the complexity, nuance, cultural taboos, stigma, stereotypes, and keeping a fair even keel in perspective and trying to have a real conversation about trying to find a real solution. Bless you guys. Perhaps this is a more optimistic sign of how this year and the future can continue to restore a sense of humanity.
First, I think the AAPI community needs more bilingual culturally competent mental health resources. Second, there must be better gun control. Neither of these men should have owned guns.
You guys are great. Thanks for bringing up topics like this. I’m learning a lot by your content. Thanks
Bless you guys for talking in depth about our issues!! We need more folks like you! We need a clear-eyed and caring revolution.
The San Jose Asian gang war is still pretty bad too, and also throw in Fresno and Long Beach with more Cambodian and Hmong gangs and social issues
Asian on Asian gang violence in California = blame it on white supremacy is always the go to answer for The Far Left.
When someone decides their life is no longer worth living this is what happens. The question is why do we have a world where people will feel that way???
Then capitalism wouldn’t work. There will always be winners and losers.. it sucks. It just sucks.
Thank you for processing this with us.
In America you have easier access to guns instead of mental health care. The stigma around mental health care in the Asian community needs to end.
We need to teach fun safety and responsibility in schools and bring back institutions for mentally ill.
Did that helped in reducing mental health problems of whites
This gives old asians some street credit, cause they were the ones targeted in anti asian attacks.
So they take out their own people for "street cred"??? 🥴🥴🤡🤡
No "credit" for killing innocent people. There could be more attacks if old Asians are viewed negatively.
And now they’re killing their fellow Asians?
street cred? real life aint grand theft auto.
@@vedicboul Sometimes, you gotta take out your own to send a message. Just like the movie "American Me" fool!!!!
So deeply saddened by these senseless acts of carnage.
As an Ex-Postal worker of 21 yrs I’ve always hated that term going postal when people snapped it was because of constant harassment, I myself felt as if I was about too snap so I walked like so many others. Harass the actual workers and ignore the ones that’s not doing their part just make the that’s actually doing their part carry the weight of the ones that’s just taking up space and collecting a check.
Crime going up? You don't say.... What do you think would happen when we have DAs not prosecuting crime and the Media amplifiying the Defund the Policement movement.
Im a pro gun. Ive get a gun to protect myself and family and do all the classes needed to own and carry one. I dont like the fact that mass shooting is happening but i also not taking chances. The media should stop sharing this detail new to prevent too ideas to bad people and making them a copycat. I dont believe in gun control specially this still happens in the most gun controlled state. Bad people will harm others in one way in another. I rather have the advantage to protect my family with a gun
Mostly men...mental health...guys need to let out their emotion BETTER. It's okay to cry and need help men.
Walk five miles, done
Thanks for this episode.
This is insane
As a none American loking from the outside-in. It has always been a mental health problem not a gun problem.
They are now finding out the living condition of these farm workers. Literially 6 people living together in a shipping container. I think the working condition is horrible as well. They probably get paid dirt cheap. And the shooter said he got charge $100 for a farm equipment that someone else damage. That altogether must've drove him over the edge.
The media needs to stop giving these mass shooters their 15 minutes of fame. These shootings are getting ridiculous.
Yep it encourages other people that are considering doing terrible things.
They gotta stop giving them guns
I doubt others future mass shooters would care if they stopped giving them attention
Two mass shootings one on Lunar new year, another today. Recent tragic events history repeats itself.
This last one may have been mimicking the first one which is unfortunate.
I think any conversation around violenc, crimes, and mental health are extremely nuanced. Rarely though do I hear about how men and women both have equal access to guns but at least 90% of mass shootings are caused by men. I think we need to speak more about healthy masculinity. I really wonder what things would be like if we cultivated a culture and society that provided space and encouraged healthy masculinity. If less people were lonely and had less deterents to getting help.
More women commit suicide. More women commit fraud and identity theft. More men get tickets for exhibition of speed. More women get tickets for distracted driving. More men use blunt force and an instrument. More women use poison.
You can’t attribute mental health issues as the cause to these mass shootings. I am not trying to dismiss the effects of mental health issues but it’s getting to a point that people who are trying to avoid gun control discourse use this as a scapegoat. The US doesn’t have a monopoly on mental health issues because other developed countries experience mental health issues but don’t result to rampant gun violence. Gun control has to take place because other people who say there is no need either are lying to you or economically benefit from these gun sales like the NRA or gun manufacturers. And whenever legislation that proposes mental health resources appears, those same people who credit mental health as the cause but only to avoid gun control, are the same ones who Vote it down
As a Mexican Mexico has pretty fucking strong gun laws, yet gun violence is rampant and reducing it to cartel specific violence doesn't sum it up, and like the Mexico example there's so many other countries that have strict gun laws yet it doesn't work.
The problem is gun control is #1, isn't implemented on a wide enough scale, and #2, targets the wrong areas. The Monterey Park shooter in this case used an illegal weapon, with an illegal magazine, and an illegal homemade suppressor. The sheer amount of weapons in America still allows for these individuals to obtain them even if they are banned. The Buffalo Shooter brought 30 round magazines that are illegal in NY by going across state lines to PA. There are too many guns in general, and too many states without the same gun laws to use as a loophole.
On the legal side, the Half Moon Bay shooter had restraining orders filed against him and threatened to kill his roommate before. Yet, he was still able to purchase a semi-automatic pistol that was used in the mass shootings. Gun control also needs to address how we can more effectively prevent disturbed people from legally obtaining firearms. In my opinion, the minimum we should be doing is treating guns the same way that we treat cars. If you want to own a gun, you should have to pass a background check, a written test on the laws regarding that firearm, and a shooting test to ensure that you can safely operate it whether it be for self defense, recreational shooting, or for hunting. Signs of violence and disturbed behavior will result in the weapon being confiscated, and those with histories of mental illness + violent outbursts should be barred from purchasing one entirely.
😂😂😂 I guess knifes and machetes can't take the place of guns when these spree killers decide to go on a rampage huh?
you can’t? or you won’t?
stop trying to frame this arguement so you’re right. if you want an honest picture deal with just the facts and leave your feelings out of this analysis.
i think it’s a deflection to make this about guns when it is a mental health issue. why do people dismiss the drama that’s going on in peoples lives to blame shooters or the laws in place. i get it, the government makes the laws and those in service are expected to be of service. but if you don’t consider this a mental health issue, what do you consider divorces and what happens to most families? you don’t think they have mental health issues?
seriously, people constantly cherry pick to try to be righteous but your pretenses are all wrong when you preface your analysis by saying ‘you can’t blame mass shootings on mental health’ when you didn’t even consider why these people did what they did and that it’s not normal for a health minded contributing member of society to go and end the lives of people unrelated to them in physical life ending danger.
people who want to win an arguement and dismiss others because they don’t agree with it are the problem because they practice closed minded living
@@StickyKeys187 much easier to kill 11 people in 1 sitting with guns than with bladed weapons
Here is a novel idea, how about we stop lumping everyone into a box and judge each other seperately as an individual. To not do so is illogical.
Dam that's just crazy, I wouldn't have even know about this situation if it was for subscribing to your channel. What a mess the world has become. People are just simply killing each other without remorse.
I'm not surprised of Asian on Asian crime. Remember Natasha H shot by Asian lady for nothing, the little 6 year old boy, and the 14 year old banged by Asian store owner and his son. You're not above checking but you two are keeping it Gangsta (real)💯. I Respect that fellas 🔥
Uncles, the 1st mass shooting in U.S. history was in San Francisco. Chinatown. At The Golden Dragon Restaurant.
With the half moon bay case, the shooters story sounds like he was getting done dirty by his co workers and snap
I’m more left leaning on the gun control debate, where I believe average citizens should never be able to own semi automatic guns, anything that can fire a volley of bullets in a matter of seconds. Anything like bolt action rifles or pump action shotguns, single/double barreled or anything else like that is fine with me.
Biggest issue we face with gun control is that each state implements their own gun laws, where it should be on the federal level because nobody is stopping someone from legally buying a gun in one state and bringing it into another.
Horrible stuff man and I feel for the victims and their loved ones, take care of each other y’all
I don’t care how many people die my gun rights over your kids. Besides too many black and Hispanic gangs. And incels created by toxic women’s lib rad feminists.
Conspiracy Theories are common now, not just because “they are creative and fun”. It’s more about societies crumbing about, politicians not being prosecuted for corruption, those who have power/wealth becoming more powerful and implanting major change in a whim, and talks/negotiations/agendas being done behind closed doors. So it’s actually a natural phenomenon. More and people are wondering what the hell is going on. And losing faith in our system.
The system has collapsed. When the family got attacked by sending wahmen 👠 out to work
The word conspiracy is what they use to discredit the truth. We all know what happened in Epstein Island and there's a list of people that went to that Island (mostly your super rich and politicians) to have sex with underage kids. Why aren't we talking about that list anymore? I think we live in a system of unjust and these what you called conspiracy theorists are merely trying to expose the truth so maybe the world will get a break from these corruptions.
CAA and CPA local nonprofits are investigating and learning about the working conditions of the farm workers.. it did not sound like a good deal. It seems there is worker abuse and underpayment for the entire time. What do we do with isolated workers with no help or ways to hold employers accountable? Even though it doesn’t excuse these actions. What resources can we provide to these workers ? We all know new immigrants can get stuck in cycles of abuse and poverty,
I think we should investigate into what is the motive that causes this person to do this before we start coming up with ideas on gun control or whatever ideas we reminiscent of, you can't cure a disease if you don't know what it is
Why it's happening? Stressed
Short temper, stressed out, lonely with psychosis men while having guns. Need I say more?
Simply put, people with a higher degree to propensity for violence need to have evals annually. If they don't choose to partake then they should not own a firearm.
You know, it's really nice here in the Philippines, you usually get shot if you wronged someone.
The question in my mind as I'm too lazy to google it:
1. What's his (the shooter) background?
2. What is his relation to the victims or so called victims?
3. What drove the shooter to perpetrate such?
Also posts about older Asian people rates of suicide increasing, its really sad to see all this
Nothing more than "cultural assimilation" shown by these terrible acts in Cali. Unfortunately, the behavior is as American as apple pie now. Did you see the behavior on J6? Some of our leadership is even pretending it was not so. Hell, it was set up by many in our leadership without consequences. These Asian men were actually immigrants here, and they were are assimilating to our culture just like they were asked too. Unfortunately, this craziness is who we are now. I'm sick of it.
This was inevitable. Men's struggles are shit on by society. Asian men's struggles particularly.
There is a guy in my neighborhood who lives alone in a rather large house. Seems nice enough with the hellos, but both my wife and I find him to be someone we don’t want to be friends with. Never odd behavior, he just seems off. I do want to nice and be a friend, but it’s a risk.
Please listen to your intuition and be safe.
but what if it's a risk not to be? it can be very hard to tell in these cases, when you're so off-put that you're compelled to avert your eyes from something when you really can't afford to . in fact, what if that "offness" is resentment toward you given that you're not alone? i don't mean to alarm you, but i'd probably have trouble sleeping soundly and would either try to engage a bit more proactively to the extent possible or think about trying to move...
We should have like a monthly or yearly mental check for everyone...
We don't have that.
All of us ,especially all of us

Greetings from Avondale Florida.
We do not have to live, and die, like this if we decide not to.
I always get so disappointed everytime there is an asian involved, because Asians are still non-existent in this society. There has been too many asian violent incidents. Going way back to virginia tech which was one of the biggest mass shooting. The MIT student who killed the yale student. Recently a 29 year old enrolling in a NJ high school as a 14 year old freshman. There is already a lot of asian hate. Yes people need to be more kind to others. Thank you for doing that.
Here we go again, so sad. What is going on?!!
There is a guy that used to work for us, who I would say fits 10 out of 10 things that would make him a prime candidate for someone who might do something horrific like the recent mass shooters. But who and how do you report this person to and what would you say about him. They always talk about asking those around the shooter after the fact, why didn't you do something, but how could you possibly report someone who hasn't done anything yet.
I hope that the person you're talking about finds help. I don't know how you could help since I'm a foreigner. Just wanted to wish you good luck.
They need Jesus simple as that
The major problem is the language barrier.
The Mao one child policy is coming to roost from the mainland to any where people from China have settled. There aren't enough females to pair up. It has caused economic and mental distress on the individuals.
I think that is a great point - so many people have no one to connect to and they are alone. Something as simple as a smile and offering a meal could make all the difference. Countries that make it a priority to care about mental illness should be inspiring to other countries. I have strong opinions about gun control - there should be absolutely no reason for a civilian to own an automatic weapon that is only meant to kill large numbers of people - no reason. Or any person really. As for Asians being less involved in mass shootings - I know that some Asian culture has a great deal of pressure involved with work and home life. Perhaps with these recent shootings these elderly men felt helpless, angry, alone and it just became a rage that they couldn't control. So sad for those lost, and hurt. I don't care about the politics - take care of the mentally ill, look at solutions for poverty and care for the elderly, and realize that gun control can make a huge difference in saving lives.
Very sad.
The year of the rabbit? More like it's hunting season.
Let's hope it doesn't pop off! It's easy to target people for looks.
Mr. Zhao had his reasons.
Elliot Rodger was also Asian.
malaysian chinese to be precise
Truth...f that...
3 years of vicious attacks and racism towards Chinese/Asian people, especially elderly.
😢
The recent shooters were Chinese and Vietnamese not black or white.
These don’t seem to be race related, and instead more related to personal disputes, toxic masculinity, and poor mental health
@@accordiongordon I agree with you, both shooting were because of a dispute, and *the victims were ALL Chinese.* Sympathizing with vicious attacks and racism against Chinese/Asian people, particularly the elderly, should be entirely separate and unrelated to the shooting.
@@agape.ahimsa
And all of the shooters are Chinese. #StopChineseOnChineseViolence.
I’m not saying anything original by pointing out that America is built on the idea of self reliance. We can all wish to live in a safe and civilized society, but when the reality that we’re all faced with says otherwise, we have no choice but to rely on ourselves. The police cannot be everywhere and the minutes it takes for them to arrive is more than enough for an attacker to kill scores of people. A competent shooter can switch magazine in under 3 seconds and continue shooting so restricting magazine capacity isn’t a realistic solution and the US Supreme Court looks to have it struck down anyway.
We should all understand that being peaceful doesn’t mean being harmless. And being prepared to defend ourselves and our loved ones is a responsibility that we cannot avoid. Wishing to live in peace in a civilized country is something we should all strive for and that includes doing our part to be self reliant. By definition, people with criminal intent will ignore any law that gets in their way. So passing more laws that will be ignored by criminals seems delusional to me. Anyway, we should all go figure out the right path for ourselves on how to be self reliant, because that is the reality in America.
I showed love/truth, they tried to kill me......
Demonic aggression. For every spiritual cause there is a physical effect.

Asian on Asian crime
It’s really about access to guns. Imagine if China had a 2nd Amendment with the population mostly male and probably depressed and down on life?!
Tell that to Australia and the UK when it comes to stabbings and school shootings based on population density. Also if China had a second amendment then it would probably belong to Taiwan again aka the original China
It rise of a beast or dragon if I look religiously
the shooter was clearly crazy... much sorrow from spain.
Life can do that to you, don't think you are immune. Don't be too quick to judge.
@@drgeek100 i concur, and no one is judging.
I will sum it up to two things mens mental health + guns. (Fyi I am not anti gun)
I am close to there age.... I know why they did it and what is the reason of doing it. Because I am a Genius.
You can’t fix crazy no matter what race, religion, and ethnicity. It’s just rare in Asian communities but not uncommon.
I know people are going to disagree with me when I say this, but I do not think... THAT ANYONE ANYWHERE IN ANY COUNTRY SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS. I BELIEVE THAT GUNS SHOULD ONLY BE USED IN WAR. Otherwise these things will continue to happen. You see everybody what happens ESPECIALLY HERE IN AMERICA, THIS IS THE MOST TRAGIC THING ABOUT THIS COUNTRY, AND THAT IS THE WAY THAT THE LAW KEEP SLOWLY ALLOWING WHAT USED TO BE ILLEGAL TO BECOME LEGAL, AND THAT IS WHY THESE TRAGEDIES CONTINUE TO HAPPEN. THE MORE THAT THE GOVERNMENT ALLOWS EVERYDAY PEOPLE TO HAVE MORE AND MORE CONTROL OVER WHAT THEY BUY AND SELL OR CONSUMED AND SMOKE, THE MORE CHAOS WILL OCCUR. THE GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO STOP GIVING IN TO A BUNCH OF TWO-YEAR-OLDS WHINING AND COMPLAINING ABOUT WHAT THEY WANT WHILE LIVING IN GROWN FOLKS BODIES, AND ALSO I THINK THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS THAT SHOULD BE ILLEGAL FOR PEOPLE TO DO THAT ARE NOT.😎 Yo hot pot boys MUCH LOVE!✌️

I feel like these two incidents will only exacerbate the polarization that Americans hold towards Chinese people or Asians in general. But for two geriatrics to commit such atrocities within such a short period of time of one another is kind of crazy.

Nope, mo guns mo problems

If you are legally able and physically capable, you should be getting your conceal carry permit and training. Your safety and the safety of your family is your responsibility and yours alone.
You have kids as young as 6 year olds bringing guns to school to kill students and teachers - definitely a challenge providing mental health support if possible or effective in preventing gun violence - considering the difficulty of gun control, mass murders and gun violence will continue to be an ongoing reality in the USA.
Victim mentality .plus fear of being old and alone
You Bros are GENIUS MK ULTRA,WOW,INCREDIBLE BROS.
Would banning guns be a solution?
No ban america. Burn it to the ground
Won’t be perfect but will definitely drive overall mass shootings done
Same thing I'm oklahoma with that chinese guy killing 4+ people
California already has some of the stricts gun laws in the Country. So you guys should be all good.
Did we forgot about the two other Asian shooters Choi v tech 2007. And that Japanese American in Hawaii 1999 or 2000. Then there was also the Viet, Chinatown, Hmong, Lao, and Cambodian gangs in America. Don’t they also have gang shootings.
The Viet gangs were actually predominantly ethnic Chinese from Vietnam and not really Vietnamese. If you go back and research the Viet gangs from the 1980s and 1990s, they were nearly all ethnic Chinese.
