I didn’t attend the march due to the pandemic. I want to protest, but on the other hand, I don’t want my actions indirectly killing someone, which is why I didn’t go.
However, I think it is OTT to call someone who goes to a protest as ‘selfish’ as they are putting themselves at risk too for a cause.
And in the middle of a pandemic, as you’ve rightly pointed out, It’s not just yourself you are putting at risk it is others too. I’m sorry, but that is selfish.
You want to show solidarity with America but at the expense of lives in this country. That’s selfish.
Especially the BAME community who are at more risk.
The Cardiff one, due to controllable numbers was respectfully social distanced. Manchester and London was another kettle of fish.
You might protest which is normally fine, you may come in contact with a carrier ,which is a risk, you then take that to someone who has a weaker immunity and they die .
Wasn't there a political fuss the other day about thoughtless Cummings, and we also know some BAME are more at risk than others ??
Loads of evidence of black deaths in police custody , particularly those with mental illness held under section 136
Google it
The justice system says that the deaths were lawful but we know how the justice system treats black people in this country
Just look at the case of the cardiff three
I think its brilliant that people of all colours are protesting in british cities
The problem of oppression is happening all over the world
I've provided a link above, as JR said read it.
I'm not googling anything, if you make claims then you are the one who needs to back them up as I have done in this thread.
Well you can just look at the reasoning for the deaths, which is written out nicely for you and the ones you think were wrong you can point out to me. Note how the vast majority are terrorism or weapon related. This is not the US, we have our own issues with racism for sure, but it isn't the same and never will be the same as what's going on in America.
I know about the Cardiff 3, the fact it was decades ago (like I said) doesn't strengthen your point at all.
I think it's something crazy like 9x more likely to be searched if you're black, I don't know how effective it has been but the idea of racial profiling never sat with me. Feels like it would cause more distrust with the police rather than tackling the issues. Glasgow had a bad problem with knives back in the mid 2000s and their approach was centered around the issues which led to knife crime rather than just taking it off them and locking them up. It worked well there
Why would the pro brexit lot protest today ? They already have their way
Feelings are running high about an outrage that is happening NOW
In cardiff today people of all colours observed social distancing and were peaceful
Who the feck is pritti patel ? One of her governments chief advisers broke the lockdown , a black man has been murdered and people are pissed off , if cummings can ponce about all over the country then people can protest in cardiff
In Cardiff they may have observed social distance as numbers were controllable. In Manchester, where the rate of infection is already well above 1, and London it was mayhem.
1 man broke the rules and people have been screaming about it for weeks. Tens of thousands have broken the rules, a large proportion who were no doubt screaming about that 1 man and you think that’s great.
Let’s hope none of your friends or family die as a result or perhaps you can tell them on their death beds it’s for a good cause.
