BLM activists - who really have no interest black lives, just anarchy- are threatening to defy a Supreme Court order backing a ban on their next riot.

I think ttbn has nailed it in one.

BLM has little to nothing to do with saving black lives rather to spread anarchy. Their actions have lead to more black deaths than by police, either directly such as the murders of black shop owners, or indirectly as happened after the last BLM riots where police were ordered not to target black criminals and the number of blacks killed by black criminals spiked. The effect of defunding the police will be to fill the mortuaries with corpses of innocent black civilians.

As for the navy "veteran" who idiotically inserted himself directly between violent rioters armed with rocks and other weapons and the police, he deserves a Darwin award for supreme stupidity. That he inserted himself into a battle zone only to ask a question is one of the greatest porkies of this debate

Dear Shadow Minister,

What a load of tosh.

There is a seismic shift happening in America at the moment which will change the country for the better. I'm not sure why they have to put themselves through agony every time a change like outlawing slavery, or desegregating schools, or gun control comes up. We seem to be able to manage those things without that degree of angst. However the momentum is not going away.

That you would once again be on the wrong side of history is not surprising, nor is the fact that you want to paint things in the worse possible light. Why not be open about your racism though? There are some on here who have, like Trump, given up almost every pretense. Isn't it time you did the same?

This little piece put to the words of the late George Carlin does have resonance, albeit with some pretty explicit language.

Steele Redux,
Talks nonsense. The Black Lives Matter movement in America which is a Hamas / Marxist movement is asking for the State of Texas, to set up their segregated State from the rest of USA. It will be a Communist Muslim State separated from America. He believe this is better than Western Democratic society; his statement identifies his values, "There is a seismic shift happening in America at the moment which will change the country for the better".

Josephus,

Communists are not Muslims. Muslims are not Communists. Yes, like your president, they each might get into bed with whoever suits their interests at a particular time, but historically they have never co-operated for more than a few months. I'm thinking of the short-lived People's Republic of Eastern Turkistan (i.e. Sinkiang, i.e Xinjiang). Communist parties in Muslim countries tend to have short lives. One of the surest ways of becoming dead in a Middle eastern country is to call yourself a Communist.

To complicate matters, they both may oppose (for their own selfish reasons) dictatorships: so Saddam oppressed both Communists and Islamists, as an equal-opportunity dictator. And all three, of course, would crush any skerrick of democratic impulse. Pity the Middle East.

So there's no love lost either way. Of course, Islam is hardly a left-wing ideology, it's right up their with yours for backwardness, dogmatism and bigotry. Not that communism, in practice, is any better - in fact, they are both different types of power-grabbing, just Mafias in different uniforms and with different slogans.

Clearly, I'm determined to be condemned by both left and right - and on the same thread !

Joe
