When Colin Kaepernick protested, the now President said he wished someone would fire that son of a bitch.


The narrative around the protests has been the same from those against it from day 1.

At the opening game of this years NFL season, the majority of the reduced numbers in the crowd booed as the players stood and linked arms for a specific moment of unity.

The chest thumping flag waving patriots are only interested in maintaining the status quo of what they have grown up.

I was “asked” to take the knee on the first day back at work after lockdown. I refused.

I tried to explain that it was inappropriate for a foreigner to ask Irish people to kneel - and we had a Rising so we didn’t have to.

You guessed it - I’m now racist. I give up.

It's less than 0.05% of all who have protested.
Or 1 in 2000 who have protested.
Seems pretty small to me.

In total its over 14000,which isn't a small number, no matter how much you attempt to obscure it through using percentages.

If it seems a small number to you that's your business. Back in reality land everyone else can see it for what it is.

Yeah, sure if your community is suffering, if society isn't the way you think is best for everyone, just carry on, as long as you are on top, it doesn't matter.

Anyone else who wants to do anything to help others or even their own circumstance is just virtue signalling.

Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King, Gandhi, Greta, Malcolm X, The Dunnes protesters, nothing but virtue signallers the lot of them.

Seems very apt really. Rosa didn’t want to move to the back of the bus, it was a one and done act of protest that just got a lot of national attention. How brief were the Dunnes protests?

Not surprising.
There are less than 2000 total NFL/NBA Players in the USA.
Out of 350M odd people.

Many came from disenfranchised backgrounds and realise just how lucky they are to be in the position they are in and know only too well the way they would be treated or have been treated.

It's 2000 times smaller than the number who have protested peacefully.

Can you see that for what it is?

your posting style is so like junkyard tom.


Odd how when you got a ban for 48 hours, junkyard tom was always around, and now you are back junkyard tom is gone.
Are ye on shifts ?





I have read on here some blm supporters claim the violent protesters were only 5%, and figures have ranged higher and lower.
Yet I have not once seen you or others of your persuasion condemn the violent protesters, in fact you defer from it and make out its a small number as if that did not count.

Check out post #4601 and those quoted within.


By the way, the figures of violent protesters at all BLM rallies I think is less than .5%.

The figure arrested is approx 0.05% of all protesters, I'm allowing a factor of ten and ignoring the fact that many of those arrested were probably not even engaging in violence.

So, the figure is that 7% of protests are violence, (let's leave aside the fact that that doesn't imply that such a percentage of all posters are engaging in such activities) why then do you still claim the majority of protests aren't peaceful? Is 93% no longer a greater number than 7%?

None of that makes any sense.

"Posters are engaging" in violence? What defek is that about?

And Nope. I can only presume you've evidently missed or ignored the previous posts on how those headlines does not stand up to even the most basic scrutiny and is certainly not an accurate account of the studies findings. Again.

Which completely ignores him just yesterday arguing that blue states don’t count when factoring Covid-19s severity. Far from a uniter in any form. If you died in a blue state you don’t count to him.

Yes I can see it for what it is, completely irrelevant.

Had 200 people been arrested for varied levels of offences I could appreciate your logic but 14000, let me spell that out, fourteen thousand people arrested isn't a small number

Of course you can't appreciate the reality, and we'll never agree, but it isn't a trifling amount by any metric.

Except by percentages, which you cannot seem to grasp.

Hope you get a 0.05% pay rise next time yours is reviewed.

well you must be the exception.


I was quoting overheal, who obviously read my post, and thanked your post, but I have never seen him condemn the violent protesters.




Guess that is why he has ignored my post.

Bloody hell, we've already addressed this.

You say 0.05%, everyone else says, 14000.

I hope you get the help you need.

He thinks this figure is important to all those people across The States who have been terrified by the wide spread violence, intimidation, destruction of property, murder and mayhem that has played a huge part in the surge in gun ownership....

It's a bit like running around the Titanic screaming, it only ripped a hole in 10% of the hull....it'll all be good...

Does this invalidate the right to protest for tens of millions of others?
