everyone deserves a fair trial - and that prejudging what happened, doesn't allow for a fair trial — counterpunch
I've only been able to determine that there are two contradictory autopsies, — counterpunch
You think you know, but you don't. — counterpunch
You are not intelligent enough to understand that everyone deserves a fair trial - and that prejudging what happened, doesn't allow for a fair trial - particularly if you're a mainstream broadcaster like the BBC. — counterpunch
But the BBC is utterly in thrall to the same politically correct, lefty cultural paradigm that so demonstrably biases your thinking, and then broadcasts undue assumptions based on that politically correct bias. The BBC should know better! — counterpunch
If George Floyd had been a white criminal, who resisted arrest by four police officers, while handcuffed, making it impossible to put him in the car - so they restrained him, and he died, possibly as a consequence of that restraint - I'd be saying the same thing. — counterpunch
It's shameful that a police officer shot someone dead for trying to enter a building that they own. — counterpunch
Oh, but you don't. — counterpunch
The two autopsies are contradictory. — counterpunch
I didn't edit the video plastered all over social media, or tailor my description of events to make the suspect seem guiltless and helpless. — counterpunch
The defence say he wasn't killed. The defence say he overdosed. — counterpunch
Accusing black people of faking evidence of race crimes against them with nothing but moronic conspiracy theories: racist. — Kenosha Kid
If there's a conspiracy here, it's the false narrative created by BLM with carefully edited cell phone footage, to incite black people to riots. P — counterpunch
You attack the very foundations of our civilisation, free speech, a fair trial, law and order, capitalism, gender, sexuality, race - a constant multi-pronged assault, and it's true - nothing does last forever. A dripping tap will cut through a mountain given enough time. So keep chipping away, and when it all comes tumbling down around your ears, do you honestly think things will be better? — counterpunch
IOW, you approach communication in bad faith.Yes, I'm perfectly well aware of the sweeping assumptions I make about people here - but those people are quite free to refute those accusations, and explain what they really believe, which is my purpose in doing so. I'm being deliberately provocative with people being insufficiently honest. — counterpunch
How depressing that you immediately see things in terms of skin colour. Do you consider yourself racist? — counterpunch
It just looks like that.Am I right to assume, it's a 'progressive' endeavour, to seek knowledge that explains the world we live in. — Edy
I did an experiment with the George Floyd situation:Here's the difference between us. If George Floyd had been a white criminal, who resisted arrest by four police officers, while handcuffed, making it impossible to put him in the car - so they restrained him, and he died, possibly as a consequence of that restraint - I'd be saying the same thing. I'd be saying Floyd created the situation that led to his death, and the benefit of the doubt is with the police. You wouldn't. In fact, if George Floyd were a white criminal we'd never have heard of him. Floyd's skin colour changes things for you. That's what makes you a racist. — counterpunch
