George Floyd murder | Clashes between US police and protestors

[Bigga]

Your now putting words in my mouth.

I never said i wouldn't do anything against racists etc,

I clearly said i would NOT stand with Antifa and similar based organisations. Left or Right.

Rely on me? I don't know you

I don't know you, but I wouldn't stand there and let you get violently fucked up by any group, left or right.

With that said, you wouldn't see me not choose to stand with the side that's antifascist defending you, any Black, Chinese, gay, female or whatever demographic they find offensive.

It's deep entrenched neolib thinking, similar to having a syringe on tap into their arms.

They think they can't exist off capitalism in the form it is today.

It's completely nuts to not want to coexist in a better balanced society.

There are kids out in the protests holding up banners to DE-FUND the militarisation of the police and prop up schooling!

I can't get my head around this not being acceptable, myself.

Amazing to see that the Police are fully equipped but the medical staff and nurses aren't


Priorities eh?

It boggles my mind when you see things like that, things the average American family has to struggle with every single day, that they still passed up on someone like Bernie twice in favour of corporate status-quo politicians like Clinton and Biden.

Check out the '13th' on Netflix, it gives a good bit of background as to why people like Sanders (and people like Corbyn) have struggled. A lot of it has to do with politics from the 80s, which is still entrenched in a lot of peoples minds.

Very frustrating that we cannot seem pull ourselves out of the tar pit that is capitalism and try work towards something new.

Makes me laugh when racist bigots try to hide that they are racist bigots.

Yep. There are a few popping up in the thread with their Yebbuts. These protests clearly Instinctively bother them so, as someone said earlier, the rioting is their manna from heaven.

 

[BosnianBlue]

I Wouldn't stand with either, but each to their own.

And yes they do, there is legit proof of this online from various goings on over time. here in the UK and US

I've seen nobody remotely looking Antifa subculture looting anything on videos I've seen. It's almost exclusively typical black community low-end criminals

it was Chelsea fans.

You've got a bad case of the old moral equivalence there mate, with a side helping of "What the fuck!"

It's quite clear that the protests have been hijacked by certain groups for their own use. One is the likes of Antifa & the extreme left who are using this to push their own aggressive agenda to "bring down the system". On the back of that where they have decided to take down corporate America by going out on the streets with hoods and balaclavas (not due to covid) and taking on the cops head on, destroying neighbourhoods, people have seen to take advantage of the chaos and loot. Then there are elements of the far right that are clearly infultrating marches and stirring shit up, all the while there are strange things happening such as pallets of bricks being given police escorts and turning up in the middle of the street. The marches have peaceful intent, but have been violated and diluted by groups and individuals with their own agendas and its caused a more toxic environment. Headlining all of this is President Dickwad who has had police tear gass people so he can get his photo opp in front of the church with the bible. Americans have long said their right to bear arms is to stop the Government from doing what they like, this could get even more messy.

Go read the BBC article regarding the ‘pallets of bricks’ bollocks you’re talking about, all been shown up for the shite it is.

course you wouldn't.

Again, 1 more time for you.

I would not stand with far left or right organisations. They are both as bad as each other.

I will do whats needed to help myself, off my own back and in my legal way.

So they are thick because they want to defend their homes from rioters?

Can’t see any rioters there, and if there were surely they’d have to wait until they were on their property before acting?
