action Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 I'm sure there was a time when there were far less riots than today. you'd start to have the crazy thought, that it used to be better in the past. so weird, with all those "socially aware" and "tolerant" people being all the fashion these days.

soon Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 (edited) People being disorderly and breaking the law... in the name of "Law and order." People rejecting the authority of the state, mayor and police authorities... with the stated goal of supporting the cops and fighting against "anarchy."

soon Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Yes, it will be good to get word on what type of people the MAGAs were out pack hunting for. Imagine thinking this info would be good for the MAGAs cause Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Forest Reinoehl calls himself an anti-fascist and has posted videos and photos of demonstrations he attended since late June, accompanied by the hashtags #blacklivesmatter, #anewnation and #breonnataylor.

There was some pretty heavy riots in 2011 too, following the death of Mark Duggan and my man Smiley Culture. Smiley was a reggae artist who, allegedly, during a police raid of his house, went into the kitchen and stabbed himself in the heart with a butcher knife. I'll say that again, during a police raid, he went to the kitchen to make a cup of tea and, allegedly, stabbed HIMSELF in the heart...with a butcher knife.

So would you be in favour of some form of common sense gun laws? That's a tricky question. It's hard to predict what someone is capable of doing. Many people that go on killing sprees have no criminal history. Common sense gun laws to me would be taking them away from previous offenders. Like a guy that points a gun at a pregnant woman's stomach during a robbery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean you can’t legislate for the out of nowhere, random, psychotic weirdoes but by definition if someone has previous or they ain’t right in the head, keeping a gun away from them might be a good idea.

Blackstar Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 The '00s had the riots in the French banlieues. It wasn't the first time there were riots there, but they've been the biggest. And in Greece we had the biggest riots in the last decades after a policeman killed a 15-year-old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
