I shared a pic but it wasn't the same guy, it was photoshopped. I edited the post first coz it contained NSFW images, then I deleted it coz they were wrong, then I deleted the whole message instead to remove the likes.

You lost me at "it wasn't the same guy.."

This is more fun.

With Collins Khoza there no race angle so there won't be political motivation for riots.

It's bad what happened to him, but nobody cares.

When there's a video the outrage is almost always worst. I bet 8f that incident was caught on video it would've been big news as well.
 
United States of America... Trash. The similiarities between #FMF and this are so clear! The reporting style employed by the US media houses is the same style that was used in reporting on FMF... more focused on the looting and violence and little focus on the cause itself.

It is a war zone over there.

Never said it wasn't, was just wondering what they think an acceptable form of protest looks like?

The one targeted at the specific people doing the "injustice" are the ones that are the most effective.

If you start blocking roads etc your protest is thus proclaiming that ordinary people are responsible for said injustice.

Kapernick's publicity stunt implied that everyone who watches football somehow supports police brutality.


But this isn't what leftists teach, they teach that you must block as many roads as possible because ordinary people are "complicit" in the injustice. Which means that burning down an Auto zone is perfectly fine because you didn't see the owners of that auto zone protest against it last time.

Not my words:
Benjamin Jealous, former president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, said blocking highways is a tactic used by activists “who feel like they have no other way to get their community and the world to stop and take notice of what’s happened.”

They cant even stop the police abuse at riots against police abuse.

If the criminals running down the street don't just stop burning and stealing when the police ask them nicely, the police have to use force to assert their authority. Obviously in the chaos things will go wrong. Anybody still associating with the rioters after they've seen what was done on the first day is fair game and deserve some police brutality.
