    Anarchists today, psycho angry priests in the 50s here, fascists in the 30s, bolsheviks in the teens.

    Similar type of bollox and they are always middle class activists looking for a why

    No idea about his mental health if he has a problem I apologise.
    From his tweet alone he seems to be very right wing and religious. A very dangerous cocktail. That is my point. Also hes looking to stir something up.
    He seems unstable.

    Were the people burning books with mental health issues? Maybe the thread should be closed?

    Same could be said for the Trump thread. Gemma thread and the Tommy Robinson thread.

    Exactly. Unstable is how the tweet made Don seem. You suggested it was making light of mental health. Very SJW.

    I don't care about Don forget Don, it was the video that concerned me.

    Burning of books should never be acceptable.

    It's the taring with the same brush I don't like. Right wing militia tripping over themselves to make the states a right versus left battle ground. Dangerous people looking to use either side as an excuse to cause trouble.
    The Trump administration has a lot of responsibility for feeding this.
    Some twats allegedly burning the bible are just that, not a movement. I had a ****ing idiot on facebook send me a video of some immigrants in France breaking a shop window. "France has fallen!" It was titled. Lots of dangerous loons looking to stir up sonething.

    No it's not.
    BLM is a call to recognise the plight of black people.
    You're posting nonsense.

    Bingo.

    It’s a free country if you want to burn a flag or a book you own, that’s your first amendment right.

    Acting as though this is akin to the totalitarian practice of book burning is silly; it’s not like the Bible is being banned or going out of print or being pulled from library shelves. Burning your own bible is like burning your own Nike shoes or throwing away your own Keurig. People also buy and burn copies of the Quran.

    How about burning a cross you own?

    Burning an efigy you made?

    How about burning a cross you own?

    Depends on the particulars. Same with burning of books etc. - Dove World Outreach planned a Quran burning in front of a mosque, it was original breach of peace charges but then expunged

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dove_World_Outreach_Center_Quran-burning_controversy

    2003 Virginia v Black visited the law in Virginia which had said cross burning was prima facie evidence of intent to intimidate. The SCOTUS struck down the provision of the law, prosectors must prove on a per case basis there is an intent to intimidate. Historically in the US cross burnings we’re done on mountainsides etc. with high visibility for tens of miles, chiefly with the intent to intimidate the minority populace; in some recent cases crosses have been left burning on people’s yards and those have been, as you would expect, regarded as hate crimes and the perpetrator (in that case their neighbor across the street) is being prosecuted.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia_v._Black

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/a-teen-led-a-black-lives-matter-protest-in-his-small-town-a-cross-was-burned-in-his-yard/2020/07/15/6ea6e3d2-c1ef-11ea-b178-bb7b05b94af1_story.html

    Effigies of Presidents have been burned as well and those are not unlawful displays. Though you might get a dossier compiled on you by the secret service for obvious national security reasons. Very much again depends on the particulars: leave one hanging on a college campus and that will be viewed as intent to intimidate, hang one in your own yard I believe that’s a matter of speech. I haven’t poured through all the effigy cases but there’s no blanket ban on the practice.

    I feel bad for those cops being made risk their health to protect a stupid statue. I don't know what the statue is of, they could be KKK protesters trying to destroy a statue of MLK Jnr, for all I care, the cops shouldn't have been tasked to the job. Whoever gave that order should be fired and blacklisted.

    CREW has an FOIA lawsuit ongoing to find out why Trump sent feds to secure his hotel but not other federal property - including statues.

    You know it's not a statue MLK and the protestors are not KKK.

    Who ever the orders to protect BLM graffiti should also be blacklisted.
