The violence has to stop

What the hell is wrong with people violence and destruction of property makes you look just as bad or worse

Don’t get me wrong everyone has the freedom of expression and to protest but I do believe there is no need for violence and two wrongs don’t make a right

Everyone on this earth and in every country deserves to be treated equally no matter what your background and colour etc I believe that but come on now there is no need to start with mindless violence and destruction of property

I don’t believe or condone racism on any front against any race that’s every race on the earth but also there is a line that shouldn’t be crossed in a protest or a demonstration and those minorities that cross that line are the ones who go to far and will be the ones who cause more problems for everyone

Were already struggling the world over and this isn’t helping anyone

Be piece full please make your point with words and banners not with force and violence your words are stronger than anything in the world and used right will always win over any force speak strong speak loud and keep the mindless violence at bay

I think it was Banksy who said this and I'm paraphrasing:

Like if there's a broken pipe in your flat and the people downstairs are getting flooded, they'd like to come and talk to you and fix the problem, but after lots of approaches and not being heard, at some point the door is gonna get kicked in...

I am not on Facebook, but Kaz showed me a post in which were 2 pictures. The top picture showed a line of people including Rosa Parks, linked arms walking with the caption under saying "This is a Protest." The bottom picture showed looting from shops in a USA city with the caption "This is violence."

Sums up perfect for me.

Racism has to stop, killing has to stop, violence has to stop.

Invoking anarchy to achieve justice is a dangerous game and once Pandora's Box is opened it's hard to shut.

I've met several racist white people, i guess all white people are racist now......

there will always be a group of people who will take something meaningful too far e.g. the looting.

Those people are not the same as those protesting.

Some statues will be associated with colonization, high profile people who marginalised p.o.c. etc and we will all have a different experience.

Yes words are powerful, and it shows your lack of knowledge that years of people have used their voice and words and it has fallen on dead ears.

Would our words have ended WW1/2?

sure, why didn't we just talk little Hitler down and given him a sensory box and shit would be fine?

What words were used during the occupation of ireland?

Martin Luther king known for his non-violent protesting was ultimately met by an assassination...

Most of the protesting has been peaceful. There will never be a convenient time to protest ones discrimination.

I'm sure like all the british soldiers to die at war never imagined their lives to be cut short..

I guess if we just used more words then that would have stopped.

It’s true and not advocating violence but many freedoms we take for granted - democracy, woman’s voting end of slavery - never came about just through taking. When people refuse to listen direct action is usually needed. But mindless violence is never justified

What I find interesting is the protesting about the racism and stereotyping off black people has turned In to the exact violent and criminal stereotype that the genuine good black people are trying to avoid.

You should also get him to show you the video of the woman in a wheelchair being assaulted, the guy getting suckerpunched then having his pockets rifled while he's unconcious on the ground and the guy who was set upon by a group who stamped on him, dropped shit on him and was then kicked in the head.

You strike me as a decent fella, from what you post, but if I was a betting man, I'd reckon you'd kick the door in when the time was right and enough was enough.

I hear you re BT tho, British Gas and Thames Water are definitely taking the piss out of me, but I keep paying them. If they killed any of my family and friends I could see me kicking the door in...

Smart water should have been used and anyone turning up at hospitals with covid should be turned away. And next thing is a public inquiry into why more ethnic minority people are dieing because of covid ask yourselves. And this is not a racist rant just someone sick of lock down trying to keep safe and help the NHS heroes who put there life on the line for idiots.

Our police are nothing like the Americans or many other countries over the world for that matter.

A young black man summed it up perfectly on the news yesterday who was amist the peacefully protesting.

People are losing sight of why they are protesting and unfortunately the black community will get the blame for the violence.

A small minority will always ruin it for the genuine people.

"Why aren't the police using rubber bullets and water cannons against the scum rioting on the UK mainland? "

Because it's a volatile situation, and tactics being used are trying to defuse rather than escalate. Plus let's remember that not all people in the streets are rioting.

However! As for some of the comments above, I'm afraid I personally disagree.

If you're promoting violence to achieve an ideal, youd better realise that others will follow suit, and it wont always be to achieve something you want to be part of.

My experience? All these people wanting to get all war like, generally dont like it when it gets warlike!

But the people rioting and looting aren’t in it for the peaceful protest, they are trouble makers looking for a fight and that takes over a peaceful protest and unfortunately people forget what it was for in the first place, then other people point fingers and go “ohh see there they go again”

I keep trying to say the same thing but got told it is fine to loot and vandalise . I also ask if it was their property / street / town getting defaced or vandalised would they still say the same

Looking at the Bristol one the people jumping on the statue once it was toppled looked manic. The London one yesterday all euphoric when a police rider was unseated and lay on the ground knocked out. Are they really there for the cause , I am not so sure

I'm not even remotely violent though, never have been, I've always used my mind and wit to solve my problems and I wish more ppl could try to do that and see violence as a genuine last resort.

In only just a few posts this thread shows the constant battle between mindsets around the World. To keep this brief because I have to do something else right now... there are those seeking to disrupt/divert just like Trump does with his base and shouting 'flag' don't let them 'disrespect the flag' bollocks... nothing to do with that. On the other side looters/violence... opportunists! Don't know any better or any other way... in other words 'angry misfits' ... overwhelming and most people are engaging in peaceful protests and saying enough is enough. 400+ years! Real change and equal justice for all will diffuse the situation.

I'm deeply concerned about all these posts supporting violence as a means for change. For now it's for a cause you support, but what about when it's not? When does it stop?

Martin Luther King Jr. was a serial womaniser who had tens of affairs during his lifetime. We all know how Fabbers hate a cheating male but does this lessen his civil rights legacy or justify bringing down his statues? Absolutely not.

"I think it was Banksy who said this and I'm paraphrasing:

Like if there's a broken pipe in your flat and the people downstairs are getting flooded, they'd like to come and talk to you and fix the problem, but after lots of approaches and not being heard, at some point the door is gonna get kicked in..."

But surely, if you use that analogy, you kick in the doors of the entire community, not the doors of any US cops, destroy your own community and still have a broken pipe.

It's always the black that matters what about our own people.... If they'd stop killing each other then I might have a damn... No offence but its fact.... We never do protests for our own country so why gave a damn about another one... And America is the most popular crime

Rant over... Sorry if I've offended anyone but we all have our own opinion

The violence will never end because there are billionaires prepared to drop massive amounts of money on destabilising the world. Paying fascists groups and even dirty police to sabotage peaceful protest. Antifa have been basically masquerading as pissed of citizens as well as BLM and causing mayhem to tarnish any peaceful protest or legitimate uprising. Reinforcing the need for cerfews, martial law and that as citizens we should be stripped of our freedoms because we cannot be trusted with our own safety.. it’s all one bit experiment being played on the world. To many People have seen through COVID for what it is. So they’ve started a race war. I don’t think there is any going back now really, the bad guys are going to do what ever they have to to secure their infamous plan for a NWO.

Or maybe I’m just a tin hat wearing nut job haha

I don't normally give a shit what people protest about, all that walking about chanting with banners doesn't interest me no matter what the cause. It's the fact by protesting during a pandemic the message I'm hearing is no life matters. I can't help but think, why have the government allowed this to happen. It's now been proven black people have a higher death rate than whites. London being highly populated with black people. It's almost like they are leading the lambs to the slaughter and nobody is seeing it. Media pushing for protest. There is a good chance I won't be effected but I still care about the rest of the UK , for everyone. My heart sinks for drs and nurses when you see them crying because they are over worked, dying themselves and watching hundreds die every day . It must be horrific.

Well just remember BLM the same as WLM the same as every life matters ( not going to go through every race as it could go on all day) so why cause haters and violence with riots against innocent people

You’d think differently if it was your home shop or business being smashed up and looted for no reason

All that it should be it’s a protest and that’s it as said before violence dosent and will not solve anything it just makes you look bad and not saying everyone is but the minority thugs ruin it for the rest

As for the winston Churchill statue that’s just wrong along with defacing our war memorials and so on the slavery one I totally understand and that should have been removed a long time ago

I’m just shocked at how it’s come to this and also worried for all the people there and there safety how many may now die due to the pandemic or become seriously ill it’s not good and will there then be another protest over that

We all stuck together and worked so hard during the lockdown and it’s still in effect yet now all our hard work dedication and sacrifice could be lost and more life’s lost when they could have been saved through no ones fault now but there own

"What the hell is wrong with people violence and destruction of property makes you look just as bad or worse

Don’t get me wrong everyone has the freedom of expression and to protest but I do believe there is no need for violence and two wrongs don’t make a right

Everyone on this earth and in every country deserves to be treated equally no matter what your background and colour etc I believe that but come on now there is no need to start with mindless violence and destruction of property

I don’t believe or condone racism on any front against any race that’s every race on the earth but also there is a line that shouldn’t be crossed in a protest or a demonstration and those minorities that cross that line are the ones who go to far and will be the ones who cause more problems for everyone

Were already struggling the world over and this isn’t helping anyone

Be piece full please make your point with words and banners not with force and violence your words are stronger than anything in the world and used right will always win over any force speak strong speak loud and keep the mindless violence at bay

"

Very well said. People who condone vandalism have no idea where these kinds of acts will lead to.

I support the principle of BLM, of course I do. In fact I don't know of a single person who has said that black lives don't matter, nobody that would be taken seriously at least. Bad policemen kill innocent people and they will rightly stand trial for their crimes. The problem with these mass demonstrations is that for the majority of people (yes the majority of people actually couldn't give a hoot about the colour of somebody's skin) it now feels like all the progress that has been made over the last few decades has apparently all been for nothing. These protests are actually causing division where there was none before and for some reason they all seem to have convinced themselves (or have been lead to believe) that nothing has changed since the 1800s

Reading some of these statements I think some people need to take a deep breath and maybe have a bit of a break from the internet. No need to attack each other for different points of view. #bekind.

The statue had to be taken down at some point. But it is not upto a group of protestors to destroy public property. What next? Another group feels that Churchill is bad and destroys everything related to him?

This is not how a democracy functions. If you really care about democracy, don't support people who take law in their own hands.

I think hes making a valid point. Hes not suggesting it's ok, hes highlighted where society was.

The English devastated my country's economy...a long time ago! The average Englishman doesnt have knowledge of it and certainly isnt responsible now. It wasnt ok, but it's not relevant now.

I fear that sensible dialect is quickly disappearing in this thread and theres some ugly comments.

If you cant comment objectively you're too emotionally involved and are probably inciting more trouble than resolution.....because that's what were seeking...isnt it???

Do not for one minute believe that the instigators of ANY rascist or destructively prejudicial policy anywhere in the world do not know what they are doing.

It is up to the oppressed to find a way through it.

Would ANYONE with hindsight have complained if more of the Jewish race had taken up arms during WW2? Some did, and it's strangely enough often left unpublicized.

Or if more (Afro-Americans) can't belong to two continents! Hadn't revolted during slavery.

Some did, again often unpublicized.

Some Nations are lucky that certain things don't come back to bite them harder....that's why it's better to handle others with love and respect in the beginning.

It's simple really.

The problem isn't just bad policemen in the US. It's an inherent racist judicial system where policemen haven't been held accountable when victims are black. It's a legacy of slavery.

And for you and quite a few people on here you believe that progress has been made and there isn't any division. However, many of us still feel hugely underepresented in the UK and it's clear when you look at the diversity in many areas of this society. Hence why people want their voices to be heard.
