Clear your head a bit, have a wee sit on the riverbank - maybe see a kingfisher or two? Tbh I just can't bring myself to have a go back, just seems pointless. Catch and release mostly, had a few hours this morning, was up at 5am for a few hours on the fly and will probably wet a line later. You should give it a go, some good trout waters doon your way plus coarse ofcourse. 1 hour ago, Smurph said: Do you often judge people based on their appearance?

Bairnardo Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 I doubt he'll be convicted. "Beyond reasonable doubt" - they need to prove that he intentionally tried to kill the guy if its 2nd degree murder. The lawyers the police union use to defend their boys in blue are experts at doing this line of defenceWithout getting too far I to googling American law, as soon as I seen this my first thought was that this decision has been a bow to pressure which could well result in extending the burden of proof too far for the case and end up with the guy being acquitted because they overreached. Like you say, lawyers know how this stuff works it's their bread and butter. It's often not clever to let your protests slip into legal nitty gritty stuff because there are sharks in that water. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coming out, as it did, just before Rodney King received his kicking from the police, it showed a deep prescience of the police brutality and subsequent riots. It's The Iceberg for me. True story: The 'T' in Ice T's moniker comes from his real name Tracy, for those that don't know. The 'Ice' comes from his love of Iceberg Slim novels.

BFTD Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 25 minutes ago, AsimButtHitsASix said: Body Count played at Leeds one year directly after Lightyear. A strange line up: putting gangsta rap/metal crossover after some loveable English pop/ska-punk. Lightyear, at one point in their set, had two of their brass section dress up as a pantomime horse and dance around on stage. Halfway through Body Count's set they decided it would be fun to do it again. They got onto the stage and Ice T just, very softly and deliberately, said "Somebody just fucked up" The pantomime horse left the stage very quickly. None of their recorded work matches this live performance. Body Count seemed to end up playing with a fair few bands you wouldn't have expected. Maybe promoters didn't know what to do with them. Didn't think much of their recorded output, but always heard they were a good live act. And that Exploited medley Ice-T did with Slayer for the Judgment Night soundtrack was quality. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As am I (and as are most right thinking people) but they are more vocal and activist about it. The use of the phrase “Antifa affiliate” suggests you are like Trump in believing Antifa is anything other than an umbrella term for a particular viewpoint. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 How do you define fascism out of interest? I, personally, have yet to see a better explanation than Umberto Eco's if you're struggling to put it into words yourself. Would you agree his 14 points would constitute a universal definition of fascism?Bennett strikes me as more of an Adorno’s The Authoritarian Personality type of guy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lyrics in The Iceberg about Evil E pleasuring a lady with a torch are some of hip hops finest.

djchapsticks Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 (edited) I see All Lives Matter is trending again on Twitter. Yet funnily enough, your typical All Lives Matter type, is the exact same who will also staunchly support a hard Brexit, the removal of refugees and to close the borders to immigration. But hey....All Lives Matter right? They matter just as long as the ones who aren't white stay away from here and stay away from me.
