Not much sympathy for people shot while rioting? I can't agree with you there. To me this is an absolutely terrifying situation. Accepting police a judge jury and executioner is a slippery slope. Death for rooting and/or looting is also a ridiculous price to pay in my opinion. Possibly I...

The destroying of property as an expression of anger for the death of a community member I can understand (I feel like I need to make the point that understanding is not condoning it). The looting is opportunistic scumbags using the shooting for their own selfish gain. A sad bi product of riots...

If it is a reaction to that then it's a bloody stupid one.

Maybe we all sign a post before we are allowed to discuss anything in the thread? We the undersigned condemn all violence and vandalism associated with this topic. I don't understand why people assume the opposite.

While we are here can you explain this in relation to my post?

Right so you misunderstood my post and assumed a whole lot of nonsense that it didn't contain. The post I quoted was in answer to your question/accusation that the other poster was justifying the looting. The answer was no. My post was an observation that his explanation of why high end...

I will ask the same question, what has this got to do with my post about people assuming that an explanation of why, constitutes justification? You seem to be suggesting that my post (written before my knowledge of the vandalism of the holocaust memorial) is in some way racist because it...

What has that got to do with my post?

This is the brainwashing mentioned early in the thread.

I love these exchanges, 1. Someone asks why people loot certain shops. 2. Someone explains why they loot certain shops. 3. 'So your justifying looting?' 🤣

They are a few steps away from protesting. The fact that people still vote Tory is staggering. More likely to drink the Kool aid that protest at present.
