On a serious point...
Unfortunately, from a social perspective, ignoring these people is incredibly dangerous. Not only does it give them a free and unopposed reign, it also gives them the moral high ground because we don't apparently care enough to argue with them.
Damned if we do, and damned if we don't.
I agree with that DG. Wholeheartedly.
It looks like LZ is on the outer perimeter of this discussion!
This is a (so called) democracy, so why should have we to appease to the minority? This is really getting out of hand.
As Rangie quotes he knows better than some of us on here!
Our country & a lot of its inhabitants are just too soft & can't see the problem with scum getting away scot free when a crime has been committed , it's a very slippery slope unfortunately we appear to be too far down it now to claw our way back up it, a very sad state of affairs when some try to justify blatant vandalism.
No I am not. All I have done, as is usual for me, is detail out the facts surrounding the BLM movement, the murder of George Floyd and the toppling of a statue in Bristol. I have detailed what the juries have decided in the court of laws in both the USA and UK through due legal process. No more, no less, with my added views of white vs. black discrimination that is part of the argument.
Those who wish to ignore the ruling of those courts I believe are as bad, if not worse, than the people they are condemning for their vandalism and apparent breaking of the law, which the courts have not upheld in their democratic rulings.
As I have said, but some like STEMO wish to ignore, all legal facts must be taken into account, not some ranting on a social media site. I could not care one way or another about what happens out there about these particular incidents and events, but I do care about the known, established facts as I do when reading history, when people are discussing such a sensitive series of subjects.
But, hey, carry on believing what you want, true or untrue. And yes DG, the ways of Hitler and the Nazis must be a consideration of how the masses can be manipulated when the so called (white) majority are convinced they are right after directed propaganda that suits their mindsets.
Let’s keep open minds, ok?
