Hans Christian Beg Beheaded

[webbo3]

They really should learn the history of people before destroying things, it pretty much goes to prove that these protests are all about vandalism and destroying anything they disagree with

They really should learn the history of people before destroying things.

That would need brains. I read the title as alleging that the story writer was a big head, bit harsh I thought.

[waterboatman]

Mindless idiots.

Reason isn't something this crazed new movement is heavily endowed with.

Shame on the authorities and governments who are too gutless to defend their heritage.

The statue notwithstanding, reading about.the guy they arrested was equally disturbing. It was almost as if he was being deliberately provocative and seeking arrest with his actions, but then to resist arrest when it finally came makes me wonder if he was trying to achieve martyrdom.

Provoke police into action, and when that action happens, cry race hate. I hope I'm wrong about that.

Destruction for the sake of destruction?

Well I'll go t'top of our stairs.

They seek to topple the system. By fair means or foul.
Unless stopped hard this will undermine authority that itself is already unsure of it’s role in today’s world.

yep it's another BLM belter! What was the reason they gave for this vandalism?

[royfromaus]

What was reason for the vandalism in Brixton last night?

Exuberant self expression celebrating the wonders of diversity and empowerment?

Why anyone still thinks this is about 'black lives' is beyond me.

[sanmac]

Naomi, at 1223, you clearly haven't taken enough courses x.

[naomi24]

Indeed sanmac. I really must try harder. :o)

[youngmafbog]

The BLM movement is not about Black lives, unless those Black lives support the correct ideology. My guess is the majority of hard working Black people do not.

Why can anyone say - beetween the spittle and BLM - why Heg?
He raised a Nordic battalian to fight on the union side during the War (you know THAT one - the war for southern independence that er the SOuth lost)

do you remember when they sawed the head off the mermaid in Copenhagen Harbour ? a 1000 ABers will holler - well that was nothing to do with BLM !
