According to Firearm Chronicles
In theory, the United Nations exists solely to prevent another world war. While it lasted longer than the last attempt at such a thing–the League of Nations–it hasn’t really stopped many wars so far as I can tell.
Instead, the UN spends a fair bit of its time giving jumped up dictatorships the supposed authority to band together and criticize the United States for stuff that’s really none of their business.
The latest example? They UN Human Rights Office has condemned the U.S. over the Jacob Blake shooting and ongoing gun violence in our cities.
Spokesperson for the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Rupert Colville said Friday that video footage of Jacob Blake being shot by police in the US suggested excessive force and a subsequent Wisconsin shooting demonstrated a need for stricter gun control.
Kenosha, Wisconsin, has witnessed multiple days of unrest after Blake, a black man, was shot August 23 seven times in the back by a police officer while three of his children watched. He is likely paralyzed from the waist down for life. On the night of August 27, someone opened fire on protesters demonstrating against Blake’s shooting and shot three of them, killing two. An Illinois teenager is currently in custody as a suspect in that shooting.
Oh, there was so much to talk about on this.
First, the United Nations is the same entity that elected Libya and Venezuela to the Human Rights Council. I’m not particularly interested in their version of human rights.
