NotThePars Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 America is some country where groups of guys can gather with semi-automatic weapons to defend the institution of racism. Remarkable.I think they’re called “the police” He wouldn't have ran away at first if he wasn't scared. The 17 year old obviously had his mind poisoned by right wing culture. But you can't say that the three guys who got shot made smart decisions. This is a weird hill to die on. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a terrible analogy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMDP Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 H_B must be out on the sesh with Kincy. Absolutely deranged take, don't even think he is trolling as well. His contrarian "But, but what about this..." takes are normally easy to ignore but this is genuinely loathsome. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 If someone hits me on the head with a skateboard or indeed strikes me with any item, I must remember that the correct and proportionate course of action is for me to immediately terminate their existence. No need for police or justice system. Not when theres a gun handy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 I just hope that, come the revolution, I don't have Detournement standing next to me at the barricades when a spotty kid with an assault rifle tells us to respect his authority. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G51 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Looking at America right now, it very much has the feel of a crumbling empire, much like the UK does. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The white bald guy in this video shouting at people to shoot him was the first victim shortly after this video was taken. Can only feel a mixture of amusement and utter dismay at these total wankstains in their army surplus. The only purpose of a military style rifle is to maim and kill human beings. These fools argue it's 'for protection', yet the only people who oppose them are largely anti-gun and don't arm themselves as a matter of routine. Self-proclaimed 'greatest country in the world', where it's perfectly commonplace to arm yourself to the tits with military equipment, to protect yourself from other arseholes who are a wee bit too obsessed with weapons and 'rights'. Someone really needs to just stand up and take these fuckers arms away from them, even if it requires military force to disarm them. There are no bears, native indians, wolves, etc coming to plunder your homestead and make off with your firstborn, so get this 'right to bear arms' shit into the sea. Save these fucking lunatics from themselves. Edited August 27, 2020 by Boo Khaki 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moonster Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 When you've built your argument on a Molotov cocktail being thrown but it's just been exposed as a paper bag: When it's also exposed that you've lifted that Molotov cocktail lie from right wing media whilst also determining that right wing culture has warped a 17 year old shooters mind: 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Is it not a broken bottle with a rag in it? I just thought it was interesting that the gung ho vigilante attitude was on display on both sides. Maybe I'm wrong and chasing people with AR-15s is a completely ordinary thing to do. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's pretty honest of you to just say "I'd be well fucking out of there" if faced with some gun/knife nut. I'd love to have a crack at some nutjob like that but in reality would probably end up begging them not to shoot me in the face. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At school we had some ex forces type come round to give us a self defence demonstration. He showed us how to disarm someone with a knife then asked the stooge to pretend to come at him with a gun so he could show us what to do. He put his arms over his head and ran away. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pandarilla Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Have the police responded to the fact that they just let this guy walk down the street?That's pretty incredible, when some of the police forces are at least attempting to engage in a more positive way with the protesters (or at least some were back in the original protests).Were they openly taking the side of the armed vigilantes in this cases? Whenever we've had those embarrassing wee far right demos in recent years in Britain, i usually get the impression the police over here are more sympathetic to the anti-fascist counter-demos that always massively outnumber them. Or am i giving our forces more credit than they deserve?The reaction on that video when he walks right up to them with his rifle is fucking mind-blowing when compared to how they react to armed, and even unarmed black men. How have they justified that? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
