bennett Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 1 hour ago, Shandon Par said: Violence begets violence. Regardless of who you vote for, The Scottish govt in recent months comes across as being a fairly calm, open-minded body. Compare it with Trump’s “when the looting starts the shooting starts” pathetic, childish, reactionary pish. Of course there’s still Individual racists in Scotland but there’s maybe not the same concentration of inner city black communities here who face that same sense of police persecution and isolation as in London. There is the occasional mini-riot (more along the lines of kids goading police than torching shops) in Scotland and in Dunfermline, parts of it used to be a no-go area for police at weekends. The system in America brutalises big chunks of society then punishes them for turning out that way. Change has to come from the top. No sense telling people not to be angry at someone in their community being murdered in cold blood by the authorities. Hard to see how it can change so long as they obsess over guns For such a rich country there is such a disparity between rich and poor, you just need to look at California's huge tent cities which are next door to some of the richest people in the world. It's a like a third world country in places. You also have a huge white underclass (trailer trash, rednecks etc) with little hope, Latinos being exploited in poorly paid jobs, black communities where there's a lot of resentment. Those at the top have effectively divided and conquered. 10 minutes ago, NewBornBairn said: https://news.sky.com/story/george-floyd-death-protests-spread-across-us-and-turn-violent-11997198 Thats bleak reading, it's not going to end well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably doesnt care tbf. But I suspect the way he rattles on is his due to utterly childish, pathological needs, like having the last word, or that no one can hurt his cos he has the biggest gun etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falkirk09Bairn Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Not nice to witness people outing themselves as racists on this subject and even more worrying for me is that one of them is a fellow Falkirk fan. It’s 2020!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calls POW's losers. He has to pretend he's really a hard man by comparing himself to psycho Generals like Patton and MacArthur, the latter of whom would have started a nuclear war in Korea if he'd had his way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folk will defend the black cop who hit her on the basis she hit the white cop. It wont matter what was said. The Police have no right to strike someone like that.
