I'm not sure that they are left-wing anarchists.

A lot of them are. Some are just opportunists. Virtually none of them are white supremacists.

also many of Joy Division's tunes were set against a backdrop of socioeconomic deprivation, alienation and urban decay

Rioters trying to murder babies in revenge for cops murdering people. Couldn't make it up.

You might be on to something there...

Here's how the media shapes your perceptions...



Release an article labelling people as rednecks, because we all know rednecks are bad. And add in the undertones that looting is acceptable as a form of protest.

And then.....




WHITE WASH THE BLACK PEOPLE OUT OF THE FRAME TO MAKE SURE GOOD N' PROPER THAT YOU ACTUALLY ADD FUEL TO THE FIRE AND CONTINUE RACE-BASED HATRED BECAUSE IT HELPS SELL CLICKS!!!

Dear Drew,

Rather than post a load of stuff without much in the way of comment, could you explain your position in words that we can all understand?

I'm struggling to see exactly what you're trying to say.

My view of the protests in the UK is that there are plenty of BAME people here who know how the people in the US feel because, with the exception of seeing heavily tooled-up policemen, their lives are equally blighted by the way they are treated on a daily basis.

There have been plenty of cases of black men dying both in custody and while being arrested, more than one who was unable to breathe and said so as he died.

That seems to be Drew's thing, I've mentioned it before and he began providing a bit more of his own opinion to his posts but now seems to be falling back into old habits. No problems with that, you post what you post.

I'll hazard a guess at what his last couple of posts are all about; the black guy's gun is way bigger than the white guy's gun?

some sort of objectification perhaps?

He's showing off what he learnt on his recent sabbatical.

he's alright he's a good lad

Yeah, definitely left-wingers*.


Photo taken by a good friend who lives in Minneapolis, posted yesterday afternoon. She has reported that there's been a number of pickup trucks without licence plates patrolling the streets. She filmed one of these stop, where the guy got out and try to pick a fight with the staff ant a liquor store. Later that evening he was seen firing shots.

Drew can only get an erection if he posts deliberately contravertial and/or contrarian things, without explanation, so that when people start questioning what he's doing he can then put his tin-foil-hat on and start arguing with people whilst spaffing all over his keyboard.

The fact that he's chosen to do so with this subject matter is even more repulsive and disgusting than usual.

P.S. if anyone is in any doubts of Drew's motive, here's a full rundown, with references and sources, of this Andy Ngo guy that he's posted several pieces of material from.

ok, I'm probably after a telecaster anyway

@Paul_C I'm afraid I don't have a simple response. I haven't yet formulated my entire thoughts on this issue. I just think it's really shitty that a man was murdered and people are rioting and causing even more damage and pain to random strangers as a consequence.

If that makes me disgusting and repulsive, fuck it. So be it.

I was pretty clear about why I posted those images.

NYPost wants you to think that only rednecks care about saving businesses from damage. They crop out the black guys who also care in order to frame the story.

This is a woman worth following if you want to prevent yourself sliding into despair about these societal ills. She has her head screwed on.
