Utter Lunacy 60 Statues To Go
BLM have targeted 60 Statues and Plaques. Their choices are bizzare. Will we now have black stabbing victims picking and choosing what hospitals save their lives. They apparently now don't appreciate Guy's hospital. I am sure Guys didn't turn them away when they were bleeding to death.
Arms manufacture and Engineer Armstrong. Obviously BLM would have sooner lived under a Nazi regime. Armstrong Company manufactured the Armstrong Whiteley Bomber in the 2nd W.W.
Horatio Nelson, Drake et al. It has to stop. Full list in Link

Gherkin: 'However, those who are retaliating to the aggressive police presence,' I don't know what you were watching but I saw a bunch of coppers being commendably restrained in the face of extreme provocation. Copers who weren't allowed to wear beat helmets which might have offered some protection. Coppers who weren't allowed to wear crash helmets and...

Naomi24, right...
Dannyk13, I see a protest that is fuelled with emotion to try to change the system we're currently living in. That's not anarchy, anarchy is not recognising a system. Completely contradictory to recognising a system that is racist and trying to change it.
Look into the Harlem riot of 1964. How many times must this happen before we see equality throughout skin colour?
What massive social change was made without protesters, riots and some fires?
Look into Black Friday.
Where did society advance from a peaceful protest?

Gherkins, for your education of how to demonstrate peacefully:-

Dannyk13, that is a bit of a loaded question. I will counter it with this:
The protests in america were peaceful until the police force started shooting rubber bullets at peoples face and tear gassing crowds who are pinched between officers in full riot gear. The protests were peaceful until there was an aggressive police presence.
Did the police use violence to make their point, and to egt what they want? Yes they did. Are they above the law? No.
I'll say it again because evidently you're not understanding.
Without violent protests and riots, gay rights, women's rights, there would be none of them. Now it's time for BlackLivesMatter and it's finally time for society across the globe to recognise the social injustice and to make a change.
There were riots in 1964, there are riots in 2020. Maybe the answer is to stomp out racism, then we can stomp out the riots. Just a thought.

Dannk13, you have just proven how a peaceful protest doesn't work. "A sea of green berets filled Parliament Square yesterday as more than 2,000 ex-Royal Marines, ex-servicemen and supporters of jailed Marine Sergeant Alexander Blackman gathered in a mass show of support." Yet "He is stuck in a jail system which, according to the Prison Governors Association recently, is in a ‘dark place’, with unprecedented levels of violence caused in part by chronic understaffing."...
// Look into the Harlem riot of 1964. //
in July 1964, a black male was killed by a white law enforcement officer.
In May 2020, a black male was killed by a white law enforcement officer.
it seems to me that 6 days of rioting, one dead, 500 injuries and $1m worth of material destruction achieved precisely nothing.

It's not about my attitude to violence. It's about the systems attitude towards black people. Once you understand that, you'll understand the severity of these riots. A change will come. How many songs must be sung, how many marches marched, how many lives taken by police brutality?
Let it end. Stop defending it. Let these riots run and lets see how the government acts. The world needs to wake up.

The harsh reality is you have old white people more worried about statues of times long gone than they are about black people actually living in this day and age. I always hoped I would see the end to racism before my time however with COVID-19 and this attitude, I fear I'll leave this plane too soon.
Dannyk13, you are comparing a protest from marines (well respected - mostly white but not all) to a protest from the black community (the whole point of these protests is that they're systematically profiled).
How can that be compared? The comparison you're making is white privilege in action. You're blinded by how black people are viewed in society.
