Black Lives Matter is an American issue which the rest of the world has embraced. Accordingly, any discussion of it is by definition US centric and is aimed at US conditions and situations. That said it can apply to other countries to address their own issues of racism too if their populations choose to do so.

Sorry, not sorry.

“Defund the Police” is a poorly chosen phrase but dies not mean abolish police. It means reallocate funding fir non-core police work from the police department and reallocate it to other agencies better suited to address certain issues.

I know that doesn’t fit National Front type, demonizing ideologies but so be it.
No it's a Marxist group who do want to get rid of all police.run by a handful of rich blacks who stir up race hate to make money.

I tend to read both Fox and CNN to try and understand the different views in the US but the recent headlines have got me confused as they are so much the opposite of one another. Fox is saying that left wing armed militia have taken to the streets and CNN are saying the president is branding people who disagree with him as terrorists. What do you see as the real situation as both of these reports, for different reasons, have worrying overtones for the stability of the US.
 
You said you had seen 1 in what 60 years, and heard of another one, that would be about 0.00000001% wouldn't it. Proves my point, would have thought it was obvious, but maybe it was to complicated for you.
You asked if I had ever seen any and the answer was yes. I consider myself fortunate and my life doesn’t put me in touch with homeless people. But there but for the grace of god and some life chances.....

But not everyone who believes BLM is a member if the opportunist radical group that has hijacked the BLM brand. You do get confused by what people call themselves for or purposes. The democratic people’s republic is nit democratic, the national socialists were not socialists.

The majority are supporters of the Marxist group, take your blinkers off you might see it.
 
But you were a member of a radical racist group ? Even if they didn't know your real views.

Member? I didn’t realise it was a members club. I thought it was a none affiliated group that travelled to footy using public transport and had a few scrapes with like minde consenting people. Fecking stupid thing to do but never involved in any racial incidents. As I say nice cast.
