You should maybe look at the post I replied to.

As someone decided to start throwing out completely unjustified and baseless labels, so I merely responded in kind. See how this works?

Funny how you only chose to react to the latter whilst ignoring the former, and have started the predictable victimhood angle.

Why do you hide your profile on this board? Tell us a bit about yourself.
 
I read you post, but it was so blinkered, it wasn't worth the time spent

You mean you couldn’t counter the fact that there’s been literally dozens of far right rallies and marches that have resulted in clashes with Police and multiple arrests in recent years, so you chose to ignore it, and label me an extremist instead lol.

I've never defended the far right rallies. I'm saying the BLM extremists are as bad. You totally ignore the physical assaults on the police to try to justify why they are not.

Only that’s not what you said is it? You didn’t claim equivalence, you claimed that ‘the BLM movement have done more to damage property and injure policemen recently than any fascist has’, which is demonstrably false and I called it out as such.

Also, I clearly called the minority who have caused issues at the BLM protests, as trouble making morons. So I ignored nothing, that accolade is all yours fella.

What damage to property and injuries to policemen have the fascists caused recently?

Oh right, so I could point to dozens of far right marches that ended in violence and arrests in the last few years, e.g, the free ‘Tommy’, EDL, football ‘lads’, pro Brexit, NF etc etc and you’ll use the excuse of ‘it’s not recent enough’ to completely ignore it. I see.

Thank you
 
The vast majority of the BLM protesters are peaceful. I'd say the opposite is true of far right groups.

The vast majority of the conservative public that are currently out complaining about vandalism to and removal of historic statues, and violence in their capital, are peaceful.

What you have is two extreme fringe groups - the far right are racist and anti-foreigner, and the BLM fringe appear to made up by anarchists and the black criminal/antisocial fraternity that have it in for the OB. Both groups use violence as their first call.
