Sorry, I must have missed all your comments the night before, condemning the looting and violence. I guess your excuse is you hadn't seen any footage, yet despite having seen no footage, you still didn't want to believe the protestors could be aggressive towards journo's. But hey bro, you play to your audience, it's like watching you cock sucking half the time, you'd never give a balanced opinion, if it stared you in the face, because it's the type of person you are
I wasn't on the night before. The comments I've made about looters are that the US Police are well equipped to deal with that. I haven't seen any footage of protesters attacking the press, but like I said, that would be totally out of order. Not sure why you feel the need for the personal insults.
Funny how you miss footage that don't suit your narratives, I saw aggression towards journo's, I'm sure you can't have missed the news in Atlanta, maybe you really do only have tunnel vision...
For what it's worth, CNN were getting come uppence from 2015, my point being is that journalism was still attacked, regardless of reason, to deny otherwise is to deny the truth.
The Bishop’s view, if anyone’s interested... https://www.washingtonpost.com/reli...ca70f8-a466-11ea-b619-3f9133bbb482_story.html
Yep that needs to be stopped. Not sure there have been any actual attacks on Journalists in the same way that the Police were firing rubber bullets and charging them though ? I haven't seen all the footage, so yes maybe I've missed that. I agree mate, looters and rioters need to be stopped. I'm not arguing anything different from that.
The windows were boarded ... one of the CNN commentators made the point that Wiggy rarely went to church so this was all premeditated and staged for effect. The clergy of St Johns were out providing water to the protesters when the rubber bullets and tear gas bombardment started. They have expressed their disgust at Wiggy using both their church and the bible as a symbol of division. There is a big difference between the peaceful daylight protesters and those that don't appear until they have the cover of darkness... albeit that there will always be the odd opportunist.
It’s not just looting, it’s arson, criminal damage and now people dying. If anybody thinks this is a protest for Mr Floyd then you’re deluded. This is criminals and left and right wing activists pushing their own agendas, now. Trump needs to send in the military to sort those numpty’s out.
I mentioned above. A white house source told CNN that Trump didn't like the fact that the media reported that he had to be moved to a bunker in the white house. So he engineered a 'made for TV' moment, where he could be seen walking through the streets to hold up a bible in front of a church to appear like a leader in control. Gassing and shooting peaceful protesters in order to achieve it. Bizarre and sickening
It dosen't matter if it happened in the same way, my point was it happened. I feel it's wrong to dismiss stuff, because it was not of the same intesity or from the opposite point of view. Like I said, how would you feel if your house was burnt down and your business along with it, and any other goods looted. I assume you would be pretty pissed off and expect someone to do something about it. I think the guy (Trump) is a total dick, and needs to be shot, but I will always look at both sides of an argument. Anyway regardless of all that bolloxs, you set a challenge to defend Trump, I rose to it
It's definitely a ****ed up situation and you're right that agent provocateurs are using the situation for their own agenda. If only their President could have moved to quell the anger in the first place instead of pouring fuel on the flames. Oh well.
Yeah, that happens with the Washington Post. Anyway, she’s furious with Trump. Who she accuses of acting and talking in a manner that is completely contrary to all Christian and Spiritual values. She’s also extremely pissed off that he used her church for a photo opportunity, after having peaceful demonstrators removed with teargas.
Not sure anybody is dismissing it, I'm certainly not. If protesters are attacking journalists then they should be arrested. And yes, as I've said looters, rioters etc should be stopped, the US police are well equipped to do that. If it was my house or property I would want the same action taken too. As for defending Trump though, I set a challenge to defend him tear gassing and firing rubber bullets at a peaceful protest so that he could clear it, in order to engineer a photo opportunity for himself. A US president using military force on his own people, who were not involved in any violence is not normal.
Fair enough mate. Piskie set a challenge to defend Trump, someone had to rise to it The quicker he's gone the better, he has handled this completely wrong, I don't approve of aggression from protestors, and even less so from our leaders, what he did yesterday was pure propaganda, more fitting to North Korea.
Did you listen to the Bishop of the Church he was stood outside, condemn his propoganda? He didn’t go inside because he would have probably got thrown out since that Church’s very ethos is to protect and serve the community. Currently the Church is being used for making face masks for the public. It’s beliefs are totally opposite to the man that was stood outside with Bible in hand. The Bishop of the Church wants nothing to do with him.
