Kopek Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 It is a shame that the hooligans with a penchant to find an excuse for violence take over legitimate aims of any protest of significance. This is nothing unusual, it is an recognised form of bandwagoning that will result in right wing excuse for violence in the 'British' society or violence and looting in other societies. These are nothing to do with veracity of the origional protest but merely that there are those who would use this as an excuse fot their own aims of their right wing violence inminging on any protest that they can latch onto?

Zorg Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 BLM are also racist communist thugs and we all know left wing and right wing are meaningless terms. They both believe in violence and state coercion to meet their ideological ends. We need to differentiate between "Black lives matter" as a concept and "Black Lives Matter" as a political organisation. The concept is okay but the organisation masquerading behind that name is racist, the black equivalent of the KKK, highly political, communist, and should be put on a terrorist watch list. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I get the same. From what I can gather from whom I consider rational sources, it is a far left organisation aimed at toppling Trump ( not a bad objective) and redistribution of wealth, firing up young people to believe in the cause. Have a look at stoptrump.co.uk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorg Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Ironic given that Trump has been one of the best presidents in history in terms of helping the black community. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look beyond the rhetoric and corporate propaganda narrative. He has been investing in majority black areas with tax incentives for companies to move in and employ. There are record employment numbers (pre-covid, and hopefully soon again) for people of all races but especially black communities. Historical criminal justice reform to free black people who were put in prison for victimless crimes (usually drug-related) where they were given disproportionate sentences. He has also taken steps to reduce the number of such sentences. Previously, black colleges (universities) had to go to the Presidency every year for funding. Trump has guaranteed indefinite funding and increased it dramatically. So he has invested heavily in black educational institutions. He has the most diverse administration in terms of staffing. He has tasked Ben Carson (former Republican presidential candidate, brain surgeon, black) with urban development and promoting investment and growth in those areas. I could go on and on. Most of all, it comes down to economics and job creation strategically focused on helping underprivileged black communities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At what point does some of the blame fall on the "victim" On the face of that I would agree. However, you do have to wonder how this situation needed to escalate to a man being shot 3 times in the back. I assume the guy had been searched so at this stage the biggest danger is that one man has potential use of a taser against two armed police officers who I assume still had a taser and various other defence methods available to them? Lethal force doesn't need to be the only option here. I get the concept of only shooting with the intention of killing someone but this could have had a different outcome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
