Extremely bloody boring.   Why are you so obsessed with guns and the USA?

No other bugger is the slightest bit interested - apart from Nookie and the usual brain dead morons in his gang.

Aww Shuks Dimple Joe. Don't be like that. This just happens to be one of the items of world news that possibly won't get wiped.

This is the latest on  the situation.

The following clip contains extremely bad language. I think.

What do you find boring about murder Dimple Joe.

I think you will find it;s the American police that are obsessed with guns,people have concerns about how the police in America seem to think it's ok to murder innocent black men who's only crime is to have been born black.

I know Nookie but don't know his brain dead gang,but i would imagine they have a open mind and don't allow themselves to be indoctrinated by following the sheep in front,probably like yourself.

What an amazing statement to make after a young man has been murdered by the very people that are paid to protect him.

No other bugger is the slightest bit interested

Whufc,

Open mind? Are you for real?

You read something in the media and immediately your “open mind” follows the crowd in passing judgement on an incident about which you know absolutely nothing.

Your open mind has convinced you that the policeman is a murderer and the dead boy is an innocent kind young man who wouldn't hurt a fly.

Take a look at the attached stills published recently of the dead boy (the large guy in shorts) treating a convenience store worker with kindness and consideration.

Do you think he reacted in a similar manner when approached by the Police?

I didn't say that the death of the boy was boring (notice I did not say murder).

I said that constant sniping at the USA by people who have probably never been there and have gleaned their knowledge from TV and films, boring in the extreme.

Such sniping is nothing short of bullying and is unnecessary.

If you want to complain about somewhere you have not visited, have a look at this:-

well said Dimple Joe

I was talking to my sister yesterday (she lives in Michigan), you brought up about he teenage boy been shot and killed by police.  I said did you know this innocent teenager was over 6 foot tall and about 300 lbs, and had just robbed a convience store?   

She had not heard that.   

I am inclined to believe the police in this case.  However, the US Police are being over militarized and acting like gestapo.   They are sending SWAT teams to serve warrant w/o justification.  Several innocent people have been killed with this tactic.   Plus cops seem to be on a dog killing spree.   They needed to be reined in.

I would imagine you know as much as me,but you seem to have made a judgement that the police officer is innocent.

Regardless of the boys crime he didn't deserve to be murdered by the police officer,that's why there is a court system so people get treated fairly within the law.

I have never been to America and i will never go,but that doesn't mean i don't understand what America stands for and what America is doing around the world today.

What makes you think i haven't been to Saudi?

UNARMED, says it all. He may have been a real badass and robbed a convenience store, he may possibly even have resisted arrest (if he was indeed being arrested, I have not read that he was). The fact remains that he was unarmed and was shot in cold blood.

Before I get accused of never going to the States, I have probably been there more than most Septics on this forum in the last 20 years.

I do not know Nookie, am I one of his brain  dead morons in his gang?

[CO-CO]

I have to agree with Adam.



Nookie is a bad ass and hails from Coventry - that puts you in contention Adam 

[candy]

There are many grave and sad atrocities taking place all around the world at this very moment and since time immemorial.Nothing will change in the future either unless we try and learn from past wrongs.

I do not hate anything or anyone. To do so, only poisons ones own blood.

I have never visited America but my overall  perception is that of a vast, beautiful and culturally diverse country.There is good and bad everywhere.

I am pleased to say that I have many American friends.

Thanks Candy...

Hey Nookie..... This Yank is proud to be one of your gang of, supposedly, brain dead morons.. All flags proudly wave when we meet at your place on Sundays.. Wouldn't have it any other way...

[dimple joe]

whufc,

As you say, neither of us knows anything about this incident apart from what we read in the media.

I have expressed no opinion about what occurred and reserve judgement until the outcome of either an enquiry or a court case; this means I am open minded. Innocent until proven guilty is I think the phrase.

You on the other hand, have said  “murdered by the police officer” and “innocent black men who's only crime is to have been born black”. You have already made your judgement and it means that you are not open minded, in fact you are a bigot.

You say “there is a court system so people get treated fairly within the law”, how fairly are you treating the police officer? Or is fair treatment only reserved for innocent black men?

I am in awe of your understanding of America, despite having never visited the place.

Apparently, they will not admit anyone with a criminal record, so at least they are doing something right.

You've been to Saudi – who cares?

[dimple joe]

Adam,

If you have ever shot anyone, you will know it is never in cold blood.

Only in the movies......

Are we to assume you have like whufc, passed judgement on the case already?

If so shame on you.

My reference to Nookie and his brain dead gang was nothing to do with this case.

I was commenting on the constant sniping at the US forum members by a childish clique of drunkards who are like bullys in the school playground.
