What about those 81 murdered black Nigerians any protests yet?

Is Mie,

Do you mean the massacre carried out by the extreme-Right-religious-conservative Boko Haram ('Education is Bad') and its allied ISWAP in Nigeria, disguised as Muslim preachers ?

Only CNN and the Washington Post seem to be carrying the story.

Yes, appalling, one would have to concede that there vis more human decency and compassion in the little fingers of most atheists and Christians than in all of Boko Haram.

Joe,

The story was carried by The New York Times, CNN,
Washington Post, BBC, Aljazeera, and The Guardian.

Boko Haram killed 81, injured 13 and abducted seven.

Barbaric!

According to the web - when Boko Haram
was first formed (2009) their actions were
non violent. Their intent was to "purify"
Islam in Northern Nigeria. However it is now
a terrorist organisation and is aligned with
Islamic State of Iraq.

It has caused havoc in Africa's most populous
country through a wave of bombings, assassinations,
and abductions. It's fighting to overthrow the
government and create an Islamic State.

Issy, none of what has happen, and is happening in Nigeria is condoned by any of us. Your smug "any protests yet" is not sincere what so ever.

So you disagree with Shooters and Hooters policy on Firearms;

#5 Establish family and home protection as a genuine reason to own and use a firearm and continue to support measures increasing a person’s right to self-defence.

Michael Close was protecting his home from a violating dog. What are you doing to change Shooter and Hooter policy of "home protection as a genuine reason to own and use a firearm"?

The "In Daily" (Adelaide Independent News) had an
interesting article that's worth adding to this
discussion. Here's what they stated in their opinion
piece:

" How does one reconcile the euphoria felt at the
toppling down of the Berlin Wall and the tearing
down of the statues of Lenin and Stalin at the fall
of the evil and totalitarian communist Soviet Union.
And the disgust at the defacing of Captain Cook's
statue in Sydney's Hyde Park and in Ballarat the
statues of former PMs John Howard and Tony Abbott".

"There is of course a difference in a popular
uprising overthrowing the most undemocratic and
oppressive regime of the 20th century and the current
spate of property damage occurring in some cities in
Australia..."
