弗吉尼亚州议员Sam Rasoul关于亚特兰大枪击事件的声明

罗诺克 - 星期三(2021.3.17)，代表弗吉尼亚11选区的州众议员山姆拉索尔，针对导致六名亚裔死亡，发生在亚特兰大的针对亚裔可能的仇恨犯罪，发布如下声明: 

"今天，我们作为一个国家，作为人类一员，共同哀悼昨天晚上亚特兰大发生的惨剧，一个以8个无辜生命为代价的无以言表的仇恨导致的惨剧。

我们为受害者，他们的家人和亚特兰大社区祈祷。作为一个穆斯林和移民的儿子，我深知今天有如此众多的家庭陷入恐惧和痛苦中。我知道很多父母将无法向他们的子女解释发生了什么，正如同类似悲剧发生后我难以面对我的孩子。

我们的工作是让我们的亚裔美国人兄弟姐妹和朋友们知道他们不是孤立的，他们不必独自面对这样的艰难时刻。我们和你们同在。"

山姆拉索尔声明英语原文:

ROANOKE - On Wednesday, Del. Sam Rasoul (D-11) released the following statement in the aftermath of a mass shooting in Atlanta that left eight dead, including six women of Asian descent, and according to early reports appears to be an anti-Asian hate crime.

 

“Today we are grieving as a nation, and as human beings, after another act of unspeakable hate cost eight lives in Atlanta last night. We are praying for the victims, their families, and the Atlanta community,” said Rasoul. “As a Muslim and as a child of immigrants, I know too well the fear and pain that has engulfed so many families today. I know many parents will be having the same difficult conversation I’ve had to have with my kids after tragedies like these. Our job now is to let our Asian American sisters, brothers and friends know they are not alone, and they will not face this hatred alone. We are with you.”
