I Notice The Far Left Never Miss An Opportunity.

Why didn't they take to the streets over Lee Rigby?

[sandyRoe]

No need. The murderers of Lee Rigby are in prison having faced the full rigour of the law.

[RandyMarsh]

Lee Rigby was not murdered by a government official. (I guess).

AOG you never miss an opportunity either.

[youngmafbog]

Because he was not black so it was difficult to take offence on behalf of him. Also I suspect you may find many of these protesters are Islamist sympathizers.

[scooping]

You might as well ask why we, the 'White Community', didn't take to the streets over Lee Rigby...

[youngmafbog]

Because we are out at work to pay the taxes perhaps?

[Gromit]

What evidence do you have that the majority of the protestors are from the far left?

There are a couple of Socialist Worker placards in the background, but the majority of the posters do not have any marks identifying them with the left. The posters were not anti US, they were more to do with the percieved racism of the killing and court judgement.

The protestors do not appear to be anti-US, so not sure why it should upset AOG. There were no arrests.

The comparison with Lee Rigby is bogus. In fact it is worse than that. You are using the killing of this unfortunate soldier for your own political ends. You are using it to undermine anti racism protestors. Which is rather an unpleasant use of Lee Rigby's memory.

[youngmafbog]

Unfortunately Lee Rigby was killed for 'political' gain (It is more than religion) therefore it is not distasteful at all really.

Unless you wish to use that to silence someone. Are you looking to get AOG banned like TTT? I notice JK is suspended, lets hope it was TTT and not some poor innocent caught in your witchunt.

[Gromit]

I do not want to silence AOG. It is fair comment to say I find it distasteful that he is exploiting Lee Rigbys death to have a dig at anti racism protestors.

I have no idea why TTT was banned. Only the ABEd can ban someone, so I assume it was for breaking the Site Rules. Everyone else obey the rules, so why shouldn't TTT?
If TTT rejoins under a new name and those are terminated then why is it anything to do with me?
If Egara Flegin of JackKnife were TTT, that would explain why they were suspended.

R1Geezer has been banned at least 16 times that I know of. There is a simple way for him to enjoy being on this site, which is to follow the Site Rules.

[Zacs-Master]

TTTs profile says 'Active'. Just saying.

[Gromit]

Zacs,
That is good news. I assume his suspension was a mistake and the ABEd has reinstated him. I have enjoyed TTTs contributions, and I am plesed he is back.

Ah yes I forgot this racism thingy only works one way, but didn't poor defenceless Lee also belong to a race of people and who was slaughtered and beheaded by a different race of people on the very streets of our Capital?

[ToraToraTora]

Yes, it seems I have been unsuspended! have you missed me?

[Gromit]

Tora, you were back so quickly.

It looked like you were missing us, as much as we missed you :-)

[DTCwordfan]

You could always start a BNP or UKIP driven riot, AOG. Hopefully, you know the consequences.

[anotheoldgit]

How do some know who is suspended or banned, and they even know by how many times?

But I did wonder where all the 'Right' Thinking ABers have been slowly disappearing to.

[DTCwordfan]

Found the synonym during your enforced absence, TTT? Welcome back.

[Gromit]

AOG
Lee Rigby's killers are locked away. Justice has been seen to be done.
The US cop is still wearing his badge.

Unpleasant to try to compare the two very different killings.

[DTCwordfan]

I agree, Gromit - two very different circumstances, a lot of the protest in the US actually not down to the shooting but racial frustration against the Democrats

[agchristie]

DTC,

It wouldn't progress to a riot, the Police would quickly invoke a controversial S.12 , as in Rochester.

[Svejk]

Left wing? They had a big 'Death to Israel' banner. mmm.
