BLM protests/ Riots.

[Deleted member 16999]

I see the press today refer to BLM demonstrators as protestors, activists and supporters.

Opposition supporters are hooligans and thugs.

Encouraging divisions like this is not going to help.

Which press?

Sky described them as “protesters” and “counter protesters” the BBC as “left wing” and “right wing” protests.

Surely normal people can see there will be extreme elements on both sides due to the language being used by some on both sides.

If by "opposition supporters" you mean Yaxley-Lennon's lot, then "hooligans and thugs "is an accurate description.

Some wild young Labour lover is organising a BLM protest on our market place. Interested to see how many turn up. It’s on the 22nd. I imagine the fad will have died down by then.

They’ll have been infiltrated by antifa and the left wing troublemakers.

Going by the singing of England....England, I’d say it those peace loving right wingers who have gone to defend the Statues.

I'm not one thinking the police should be armed but I'd give them all a machine gun and obliterate the lot of them. Scum

Looking forward to the forum police turning up to complain about the social distancing issues that got them worked up last week when the BLM march took place.

As someone has just posted on Twitter:

Police are protecting a statue from people who want to protect it from people who don't seem to be there.
- Meanwhile the man who stopped us all from having to salute like a Nazi is celebrated by men doing Nazi salutes.

2 wrongs dont make a right.

I'm all for protesting etc but throwing punches and missiles at the OB is bang out of order. Just like those last week.

or, more charitably, confused statue enthusiasts are gathering in large numbers today to protect statues from absolutely no one.

Might as well just open everything up now,obviously social distancing as hone out of the window.

Easier just to shoot them all eh!

I’m confused. What do we call these anti-fascist counter protestors? Seems like there should be a word for it?

All I could think of was Tummy Rubbers but surely there’s something snappier.

Idiots...?

Probably just football thugs who've had nothing to do since the season wasr shut down, hence their tendency to try and pick a fight with the police, like any other Saturday.

The ones honouring Churchill with the nazi salutes?

Are they actually protesting something or just looking to cause trouble?

Patriots protecting the Statues apparently.
