    Maybe because it dries up every other thread on the board? Just saying, don't tear gas me.

    Very much this ... "George Floyd will be looking down thinking this was a great day for our country" ...

    ... the Democrats do not need to attempt to make Wiggy the Satsuma look like a **** ... he continually manages that beyond doubt all on his lonesome <ok>

    Sir! Get down on your knees, Sir! Put your hands behind your head, or I will blow your ****ing brains out Sir!

    A yank cop once said that to a mate of mine. Never stopped calling him Sir, even while threatening to shoot him in the head.

    Still, people can go on the politics thread and wildly accuse people of being something they aren't to their hearts content.

    And those who don't want to take such **** can just not post on it.

    ... which could easily have been avoided ... Cummings demonstrated that rules are there to be broken ... and the death of George Floyd provided a cause which plenty of people have inerpreted as "exceptional circumstances" ... add in a pompous inflated Wiggy twat across the pond tear gassing innocent protesters and you have the perfect storm for civil disobedience <ok>

    True but then nobody posts on other threads as they get to caught up in the carnage.

    Because the regular posters there couldn't be trusted to act like grown ups without complaining all the time.

    I once hung a CND protestor off some razor wire, funny that I now think she was right. I imagine we'd have a beer and laugh about it now.

    Even better, people could show some self restraint and not talk about topics the person who runs the site has said they don't want.

    Crazy I know.

    I think any situation can be used as a tool in the world of politics, but the democrats are right to call it out;

    1. The murder in broad daylight of a man, who's life was slowly snuffed out over the course of up to 9 mins by four killer cops.

    2. Police brutality in Washington DC on the orders of the President, of innocent and peaceful protestors.

    3. The erosion of democracy in the US, akin to one of a police state.

    I think we all should be worried. We have seen during the coronavirus some draconian measures installed on society, but the authorities always need reminding that policing is by consent. As soon as they forget that, you will have anarchy.

    However, I don't believe in theft by the means of looting, unless it is for food for those in desperate need, due to failings of the state.

    My views are very libertarain, i don't lean more towards the democrats or the republicans, I lean towards justice of wrong doing and freedom of expression. Especially when that wrong doing results in the death of black man, due to embedded racism and the right to express our anger peacefully at that death.

    Although on not606 admin rules, by all neccessary methods, Sucky loves his weekly beatings <whistle>

    I'm taking about Britain. The country we live in.

    I care very little for what the Americans are doing. Although I will say they at least have a reason to protest as it happened to one of the citizens in their country.

    What's our excuse?
