1/2 I just came across this comment on a Facebook post from a content creator about the July Unrest in Phoenix.
I don’t know Winston personally, but he was among the few Phoenix residents who supported me for telling the truth back then.
Others were threatening me, calling me a traitor and campaigning to get me fired.
This is his lived experience and, although he’s opened himself up to abuse again, he shows the kind of honesty that is necessary for healing and improving race relations.
From Winston Moonsamy on Facebook:
“Nobody looted houses during the unrest - that’s a lie. I’m in Phoenix - I’m in palmview, at the border of zwelisha, There were too many Indians who were looting too in Cornubia, so get your facts in order
All the thousands of gunshots ppl were hearing in phx were not being shot by black intruders - it was being shot by Indian ppl. Either because they are marcho men, either because they were trigger happy, or maybe they even wanted scare away the potential looters - whatever the reasons were - these gun shots were literally from our own ppl. So the fear most elderly ppl felt, the fear most children endured was because of Indian ppl not black ppl!
By the way, there were many black ppl found dead in the palmview area - these were not looters looting homes, these were ppl who were literally killed for walking in the street and in some cases killed because they were taking their loot home. They were stopped, looted and murdered
And even if they said “but yourl looted with us too” - they were still killed!!!!
2 evils don’t make a right!!!
The BLACK looters were stopped in phx, they were looted for their loot and killed. Indian looters were left to go home. This happened in almost every corner of Phoenix. These are FACTS!!!
I know ppl in my neighbourhood who looted, news went around. They had stacks of groceries, I even had to chase one man away from my house when he came to give me some groceries. I told him “take your stuff and get lost”
They know me - they know I am a Christian and what we stand for.
Phoenix behaved wickedly. Let me call it for what it is. I have never thought Indian ppl could behave so cowardly.
And this had absolutely nothing to do with our homes being taken away and looted. That was eventually the narrative being pushed after ppl realised what they did was evil
And the justification for murder was simply this “well we as a community are afraid that our houses are gona get looted and our houses are gonna be taken away like the Inanda riots so we had to defend ourselves and our property”
That’s exactly why roads were blocked off. This is exactly why every road in phx was cordoned off. Nobody could enter, it was done because ppl said “let’s defend our community. we don’t want looters coming in”.
And by the way the same Indian ppl who looted during the day were the very ones sitting with their communities at night, around a fire perhaps to make sure no looters come into their communities
Well you are the looter right there!!
Anyway it became clear in the coming hours and days that there was actually no looters, and the only thing these looters were concerned about was malls and shops etc, it wasn’t our houses as some made it out to seem
So on that point let’s appreciate the community of ppl who made sure malls and shops were protected from looters. They did that without killing
But to be so devious and say “we were looted and that’s why we killed and murdered people”. I mean that’s literally twisting the narrative. That’s evil. And being applauded for saying something evil doesn’t make it right.
You are simply being applauded for this video by Indian ppl who are defending darkness
This guy talks about a 16 year old boy who was killed in Phoenix. My condolences to the family and all the other families who lost loved ones (black and Indian alike)
But let’s make it clear, The child wasn’t even killed in Phoenix as far as I remember, he was killed in Verulam.
