Inanimate Carbon Rod Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Seeing some footage on instagram of arrests and other things that have been going on in police custody in the US, 6yr olds being put in handcuffs, death of Elijah Mcclain and Breanna Taylor i just dont get it nothing these people done were threatening to anyone yet 2 of them were killed by police and no one is held to account. Though some people dont help matters a woman calling 911 because there was some black kids playing american football in the streets what planet are these c*nts on.A little bit like wasting a doctors time asking for paracetamol prescriptions people who phone 911/999 and ask for the police for dog fouling and people playing football should be fined. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Al, don't know if you are aware of these 2 websites? https://thefreethoughtproject.com/ https://newsmaven.io/pinacnews/ Always a frustrating, "make your blood boil" read. I've come across these 2 pics recently, says it all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthebam Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 A question posed 2,200 years ago was "Quis custodiet ipsos custodies" or "who will guard the guards". Even Judge Dredd has the SJS - the Judges who judge the Judges. Cool uniform. SJS Judge Pin perhaps not the best example, being batshit crazy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pandarilla Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 I know you don't mean or want that, but 'ooh it's all so difficult isn't it' is precisely what these people, for whom there's nothing difficult at all philosophically speaking, need and want. Sometimes a sledgehammer's just the right tool to crack a nut.Very rarely is a sledgehammer the best tool, hence the saying.I have zero tolerance for loud mouths who spout racism, anywhere. They need challenged, and they deserve whatever consequences they get. But is there not a danger of the tactic of outing racists is so blunt and harsh that those people who are genuinely not that bright and could swing either way - are more likely to support the loud mouth racist types? I'm genuinely torn on this and concede that your more simplistic zero tolerance approach might be the best way. It's difficult to make this case and like i say, I'm open to being persuaded, but surely there are different gradients of racist folk, from pure evil fuckers all the way to folk who do down know it's not right but still laugh or even share racist jokes.I know whenever you start saying or sharing racist stuff then that makes you racist. But I'd like to see more attempts to convert the less bright aspects of our society to the good guy side, rather than dark side (so to speak). It obviously does f go on- and the blm debate in the media usually helps with that. It's a bit like trying to rehabilitate wee neds who get into criminal behaviour when they're young. It's much better for all of us if we can try to turn them into functioning members of the society rather than just going for the easier option of punishing them harshly (although i do understand there are big issues with that analogy). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theroadlesstravelled Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Parler could be a good thing if the gimps move to it and away from Twitter. Can we have another one for the fannies in the left as well so I don’t see another Karen losing her shit in a supermarket? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you to an extent here. I think there is a big difference between racism due to ignorance (your average person in a small town in Scotland who has barely ever met a black person and hasn't ever thought about the topic) versus racism which is cynical and calculated (eg Farage, Johnson, Hopkins). If the latter don't have a platform then you get many few of the former. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if ethnic minorities were being imprisoned at far higher rates than the rate at which they committed crimes? Without collecting that data, you'd never know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if 80% of prisoners were black and black people only committed 10% of crimes. That would be something worth knowing and investigating. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
