The George Lloyd incident should have its day in court and lets hear the whole story of what happened. And let justice take its course. I saw on the news a man here charged with killing a baby. A dog killed a baby too. When do their lives matter? |
Reel Deal wrote: agree Muppet conversation needs a chillax. My understanding re BLM isn’t about who is killed the most by police so unsure the reliance of those numbers. It’s the frequency of black people are killed in unnecessary manner. And the cover up by police via disturbing scene lying, turning off cameras, saying they were attacked without camera on and against witness statements. Rubber stamped to terrorise. The 1% rioting in a few towns in the USA I don’t understand as they are destroying their own neighbourhoods but saw some rioter say they don’t own any of it because of them suffering institutional racisim. I like know one here has walked in their shoes so can only have a observing opinion which has little value. Sad president orange little hands doesn’t say we are one country. We will revisit the cases highlighted by BLM but we need to treat each other with respect and go visit the families and show empathy. Feel sorry for USA. At a time president orange little hands says he is sorry for nz as covid here is terrible and USA is lucky not to be as bad as nz haha haha |
Mossy wrote: Haha Reel Deal- nah, I'm not MAGA or pro-Trump. But I do find it amusing that a statement such as MAGA is now considered a far-right, white supremacist statement?! Even in this country our media pounced on Todd Muller for having a MAGA hat in his office and another young Nat MP was vilified by the media for appearing in a photo for wearing a MAGA hat(and was no doubt consequently swamped by threats from the peaceful, woke left). I do think there are some seriously bad players at work pulling strings to inflame and divide the US. From the right as well as the left, but it's the lefties who are the ones burning, looting and rioting in the cities over there. Scary article I just read about the soaring weapons sales in the US right now - apparently ~20% of people surveyed on both sides indicated that violence would be somewhat justified if their side loses. I'm certainly glad we don't have such division over here (or the amount of weapons). |
