A great way to avoid being on the ground and having a knee on your neck is not to be a criminal.
That approach has worked for me and my friends, basically for everyone I know come to think of it.

Spoken like a non-minority who never heard of a sunset law before.

Edit: sundown law.

I can only answer that if I never said before today that Chauvin’s past was relevant, that I simply didn’t say it, or forgot to, or didn’t need to. It matters not a damn, really. Very odd you pressing on it, though.
.

So, in the middle of a discussion about an interaction between 2 people, where 1 died at the others hands and the character of the person that dies is being attacked in a clear effort to apportion some blame for what happened to them, with repeated discussion of his past, at no point did you think the information you had, about the other persons bad past behaviour, which is directly relevant to heavy handed tactics by him (police) against suspects, was something that needed to be in the discussion? Oh , sorry ,you also might have just forgotten.


Pull the other one.

Hard left Nazis.

I was thinking that, because I've seen graffiti around a town recently and it was Antifa written in red and a swastika on the side encircled and a line through it.

Looks like we're here we're Antifa and we're the real trouble maker's (to me)
They dress like terrorist's too Antifa

I'm sure now when the world realises Anti-fascism is a terrorist organisation a lot of people's house's will be raided and Antifa paraphernalia will be found.

Internment is a good idea.

Are a lot of the left supporting Antifa I wonder.

Two separate protests in Dublin regarding an incident not related to this country.

What an embarrassment.

Be interesting to see,can they escalate,spread and see this rioting last as long as the hong kong protesters


Hopefully there will be reforms out of this maddness and not a return to norm after this

You’ve cut out the top where it says it’s an opinion piece.

And from that very same piece.

“ Don’t get me wrong, I’m not glorifying violence – that’s what the president of the United States is doing. And I’m certainly not calling for violence.”

So, which is it?

Cowardly caveats. Hate when journalists stop short of saying what they mean and hedge their bets with carefully protective language.

This is mad.

Why would the universal symbol for being against something (the thing being in a circle with a line through it) show you that they are ,in fact
, actually that thing?

How quickly will this relatively new poster transition from not knowing "just asking questions" person to full blown right wing views to fit in with others?

No. They are a tiny minority. So maybe no house raids quite yet.

Idiot's, disturbing the peace here while it's going on in a different country.

No doubt if they get their head's cracked open they'll be claiming police brutality.
I suppose they're all kind of Dolly mixture's of the scourge of Irish society.

You're a bit unhinged and a bit of a bully I'd say.

If you're not happy with my post, fook off

You're saying people protesting deserve to have their heads cracked open?

They transitioned quicker than I expected. Fair play.

Apparently people are not allowed to protest now.

And when it comes to protesting against something you care about, they're to not crack your head open presumably?

Would ya ever get ta ****.

There could be a small civil war coming and it seems many on both sides wants it.

Plus its all set against the backdrop of 40 million Americans being unemployed and broke, this could get really bad yet.

Another factor not spoken about is the ability of instant messaging & Whatsapp groups to allow hundreds or thousands of individuals all to act as one. It was widely used in the Hong Kong protests so all the protestors were on the same page on where to go, what to do, etc. Protests used to be very disorganised but Whatsapp has changed all that and now they're dynamic in real time.

That is mental. The cops/ security forces are out of control.
They are supposed to restore order, they're just going to make everything far worse.
The paratroopers thought they would sort things out in Derry with heavy tactics. It ended up a recruiting drive for the IRA for years.
This unrest could get a lot worse with those tactics, and it is only early summer.

It was actually Blackberry messenger that changed it. During the 2011 riots in London.

Wasn't Twitter a big part of the Arab spring protests as well?

People standing at their own front doors are breaking curfew apparently and deserve to be shot at with the paint.

No you're suggesting it though.

Make up your own mind.

If they're disrupting the flow of life and damaging property and disturbing traffic etc
and if they're having a violent protest, they'll get whatever they are liable to receive.

If they're having a peaceful vigil and not disrupting the peace well then they are entitled to go about their peaceful protest.

There's a difference between a protest and a vigil.

Well done, you must be an absolute saint to have never broken even the speed limit. A true gentleman and an inspirational story for us all.
