1 | The Bahamas: Comments on the Colorado Shooting | Bahamas: Fanamarihana Tamin'ny Fitifirana tao Colorado |
2 | There has not been a significant reaction in the Caribbean blogosphere about the Colorado movie theatre shooting - which is being cited as one of the deadliest in recent U.S. history - save for two Bahamian bloggers, for whom the news hit close to home. | Tsy dia nisy fanehoan-kevitra mivaingana loatra teny anivon'ny tontolon'ny bilaogy Caribbean mikasika ilay fifitirana tao aminà trano iray fandefasana sarimihetsika tany Colorado - izay lazaina ho ny tena nahafaty olona betsaka indrindra teo amin'ny tantaran'i Etazonia ankehitriny - notehirizin'ny bilaogera Bahamiana roa, izay ho azy ireo dia vaovao mahakasika akaiky ny taniny. |
3 | As the Caribbean nation located closest to the United States (southeast of Florida), the Bahamas, despite its Commonwealth status, strongly relies on the American economy to keep its tourism and offshore finance industries healthy and is often influenced by U.S. media, culture and policy. | Satria ny firenena Caribbean dia tsy lavitra an'i Etazonia (atsimo atsinanan'i Florida), Bahamas, na eo aza ny maha ao anatin'ny Commonwealth azy, dia miankina betsaka amin'ny toekarena amerikana mba hampandeha tsara ny indostrian'ny fizahantaniny sy ny orinasa afaka haba ary mazàna no andairan'ny fampahalalam-baovao aby any Etazonia, ny kolontsaina ary ny politka. |
4 | One of the country's newest blogs, Pure Fawkery, suggested that the mainstream media's response to the killings was biased and republished a photo that has been making the rounds on Facebook. | Iray amin'ireo bilaogy isan'ny vaovao indrindra ao amin'ny firenena, ny Pure Fawkery dia nihevitra hoe ny valintenin'ny fampahalalam-baovao mahazatra momba ireo vono olona dia mitanila ary dia namerina namoaka sary izay niparitaka be tao amin'ny Facebook ry zareo. |
5 | (The photo caption suggests that because of the suspect's skin colour, he was portrayed more favourably by the media): | (Ny fanazavana eo ambanin'ny sary dia mihevitra fa noho ny lokon'ny hoditr'ilay noahiahiana no vao mainka nanitrikitrihan'ny mpampahalala vaovao azy fatratra): |
6 | I saw this photo circulating on Facebook and I knew I had to share it. | Hitako nivezivezy tany anatin'ny Facebook ity sary ity ary tsapako fa tsy maintsy nataoko ny nizara azy. |
7 | It so poignantly addresses the overt media bias. | Amin'ny fomba tena vofehy tsara mihitsy no anehoany ny fitanilàna mibaribarin'ireo mpampahalàla vaovao. |
8 | It speaks for itself and the silence in response to this message is deafening! | Miteny ho azy ilay izy ary mahabadenina ny fahanginana nanoloana ity hafatra ! |
9 | The most pressing issue that the incident raised for Blogworld, though, was the question of gun control. | Kanefa ny olana maika indrindra naterak'ilay zava-nitranga, ho an'ny Blogworld, dia ny olan'ny fifehezana ny fitaovam-piadiana. |
10 | Referring to a recent article in The New Yorker, which talked about “gun crazy” America, Blogworld's Nicolette Bethel commented: | Miresaka ilay lahatsoratra iray tao amin'ny The New Yorker, izay niresaka momba ny “gun crazy” America, Nicolette Bethel, avy amin'ny Blogworld, dia nanamarika hoe: |
11 | And here, in the Bahamas, some of us discuss, seriously, that Bahamians should be allowed to carry handguns. | Ary eto Bahamas, maro amintsika no miady hevitra, matotra be, fa hoe ny Bahamians dia tokony hahazo alàlana hitàna fitaovam-piadiana. |
12 | We happen to live in that part of the world which was founded on the concept that it is some people's god-given right to sail across an ocean, map out other people's lands, eradicate those people, resettle those lands, import other people, and make fortunes out of the process. | Ny zava-misy dia miaina eto amin'ity ampahan-tany eto amin'izao tontolo izao ity isika, izay naorina tamin'ny foto-kevitra hoe zo nomen'Andriamanitra ny olona sasany ny ho afaka mitety ranomasina, hamaritra sarintany avy amin'ny tanin'ny hafa, manafongana ireny olona ireny, mambabo ireny tany ireny, mitondra olona hafa, ary mihary harena ivelan'ny rafitra. |
13 | We are the broken men and women who are struggling to create civilizations out of that history. | Isika no ireo lehilahy sy vehivavy nopotehana ary miady mba hanangana sivilizasiona miainga avy amin'izany tantara izany. |
14 | But we cannot, because we were created out of a philosophy that sees human life not as something sacred, but as something expendable-something that is less important than profit, or than massacre. | Saingy tsy afaka isika, satria isika dia naorina avy amin'ny filaozofia izay mijery ny fiainan'ny olombelona ho tsy toy ny zavatra masina, fa toy ny zavatra azo jifaina-zavatra maivan-danja miohatra amin'ny tombom-barotra, na ny vonomoka. |
15 | The genocide and enslavement on which the ‘New' world was founded have left a legacy in which massacre is enacted again and again, and presented to the world as freedom. | Ny famonoana andian-taranaka (genocide) sy ny fanandevozana ao anatin'ny tontolo iray ‘Vaovao' dia tsikaritra ho namela lova, ka ao anatiny dia ampiharina hatrany hatrany ny famonoana, ary aseho an'izao tontolo izao ho toy ny fahalalahana. |
16 | She also questioned the wisdom of thinking in simplistic, absolute terms: | Nanontany amin'ny fomba tsotra sy mazava ihany koa izy ny amin'ny fahendrena ara-pisainana: |
17 | And here in The Bahamas, we believe that nonsense. | Ary eto Bahamas, mino ny tsy misy dikany isika. |
18 | We believe that true freedom consists of the right to kill other people. | Inoantsika fa ny fahalalahana dia mifamattra amin'ny zo ho afa-mamono ny hafa. |
19 | We believe that some people are ‘bad' and others are ‘good' and the ‘good' people have the right to arm themselves and eradicate the ‘bad' people. | Inoantsika fa ny olona sasany dia ‘ratsy' ary ny hafa dia ‘tsara' ary ny olona ‘tsara' dia manana zo hitazona fitavam-piadiana sy hamongotra ny olona ‘ratsy'. |
20 | We ourselves are always the ‘good' people. | Ny tenantsika hatrany no ‘ny olona tsara'. |
21 | Who, then, are ‘bad'? | Iza, ary, no ‘ratsy'? |
