Black Lives Matter Protests Today in UK

[Deleted member 18243]

you are confused.

what happen on Fridays nights in these towns is chavs getting tanked up and scrapping.

Perhaps 30 or 40 years ago, but there are few pubs left now and certainly no nightclubs, and no nightlife in the normal, glamorous sense of the word.

In the city centres of Manchester, Liverpool and Leeds you will still find "chavs getting tanked up and scrapping", but not in the outlying towns. Face facts comrade.

You think what ya want Softy. Abide by the law, and ya stay out of trouble!!!!!

Although that doesn't work if you are a black man in America.

Which is what the protests are about.

This has no relevance to black men in America being murdered by police.

Not true. Don't judge your own area as the same nationwide.

Don't blame me, it was Notch who changed the subject.

Exactly.
They keep happening.
Philando Castile is another.

I didn't. It is not happening nationwide. Read the third sentence of my post (#216)

Mottie this happens every Friday too in the occupied towns of Lancashire and Yorkshire.....

OK, ta, I did

The poor traffic warden would immediately be surrounded by an angry mob. If that didn't happen, and a ticket was served, there would be no consequences because the car and its owner will most likely be illegal in the first place, and therefore untraceable.

But I wish I hadn't.
Wow, you've such a messed up and untrue view of people who go to Mosques.

One of the essential differences between left and right-wing thinking is that the right is about law and order, justice, peace etc, whilst the left only care abut the criminal.

Racist murders carried out by police are not "law and order. "

Indeed despite what happened the white parents insist on keeping this to what it was, a tragedy which should never have happened irrespective of colour... hmm.

Festive claims black men are not killed by police in America.
Festive says 'nothing to see here, why are they protesting'.

Yes it has. Authorities allowing blacks to park illegally outside mosques is in the same vein the same as authorities allowing blacks to riot.

Happy to join the dots for you John!

 

[JohnD]

Illegal parking is not the same as racist murders by police.

Other crimes have no relevance on the topic under discussion.
The topic is about George Floyd, and others BAME people, being killed by the police. It's about the brutality of the police. It's about racism fueling such BAME deaths in police custody.
It's about people, in their thousands, around the world, protesting about such treatment towards BAME community.
Now please explain how other crimes are remotely relevant to this discussion.

As usual you go start to bail and start reaching for the 'out of scope' routine.

Ok those stats paint a picture despite one brutality against someone which is unforgivable when you start to look deeper why are so many crimes committed disproportionally against other blacks(black on black). What if those stats were white on black omg.

And again re the police when we dig deeper we see alot of whites killed also, proportionally less but thanks or not this outcry we need to ensure not another single life is loss to police brutality black or white or whatever.

I am not part of the problem i want us all help solve the problem.

I agree completely, but, when I hear of the death, by whatever means, of a nasty criminal I find it hard to be concerned in any way - let alone go out and riot about it.
