Surely the only winners with all this are the true rascists. Polarising opinion and rubbing up moderates the wrong way.
Oh yeah, big win for COVID spread too.
I don't give a shit if they're fucked, tbh...they made their choice to take a risk, My concern is for the people who they go home to and pass it on to or the person who picks up the loaf of bread they touched in Tesco's and gets the virus and takes it home.
Fucking ridiculous behaviour no matter how worthy the cause.
a slap in the face to 40000 brits who have died imo. Many of these protestors will have only been there for the sake of hooliganism, deserve everything they get
I hope they don't come up here and put up a giant Ashley statue,
To replace the statues pulled down.
We should have a statue built of a load of dickheads acting like kids.
I agree it's not smart to gather in such numbers in times of COVID-19. However it shows that these issues matter more to them than their lives. Wonder if they will wish they acted differently if their loved ones become ill.
In the US there are so many videos of people that are clearly plants (a lot of them white) that are instigating and encouraging violence who have nothing to do with the protests. Peaceful Protesters are chasing these people off and asking them what the hell they are doing smashing windows of businesses and handing out bricks. It is likely undercover police trying to fomet violence so that the peaceful protests can be broken up with violence from themselves or the Military like trump wants. Authorities in Minnesota have suggested it is white supremacists. There are piles of bricks being left where protests are due to take place. It's not the protestors who put them there. I urge you all to think and think deeply.
As for in the UK be very careful of claims on social media. City of Westminster Police said on Twitter: “We are aware of incorrect social media rumours of damage being caused to the Cenotaph during protests in #Whitehall. We are not aware of any damage.”
The graffiti on the Churchill statue I disagree with completely. Even if he was a racist. I feel that is going too far. It will enrage people and and they will no longer be willing to listen to the message of peaceful protestors. There are a minority of some young and dumb people out there causing trouble, I agree.
I'd suggest listening to the message that peaceful protestors are putting out there.

You urge us to think deeply about your made up conspiracy theories? No thanks.
It's ironic but many of the black people would not be in the UK or USA now if it wasn't for slave trading. Stupidity to apply today's values to times gone by - 70 years to Churchill and 300 years to Colston FFS.
