I don't wish to stir the pot here, but it's been bugging me for a couple of days.
When this story of the Southport incident first broke, there were a few comments on here from posters talking about certain SBT members being nowhere to be seen (the left, seemingly) while on other threads, these same left posters were all over those ones.
Correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think I am...
The footage of the black person, simply walking down the street and being punched for no reason whatsoever, was on the Tommy Robinson thread. Been covered on here a little bit too
Looking at it, there don't seem to many posts at all about how awful that incident was and it appears that the sympathy there seems to come from the more left leaning on here.
It just surprised me, because everyone should be disgusted by that.
Panda put it up and I said it was disgusting and the ones who have liked my post are predominantly left leaning I would say.
Hardly anyone has commented on the incident and it seems like no-one from the right (including the ones bemoaning about the absentees at the onset of the Southport thread). Only Nick came out and said how disgusting it was that I can see. Then ADM posted something.
This might open a can of worms, but I can't understand why there aren't a lot, lot more comments of disgust on THAT incident and a lot more likes of posts decrying what happened.
That's much worse than the Manchester one, because at least there is an argument that the police came under attack and had the right to fight back
This guy in Hartlepool is simply walking down the road.
That's really upset me. He did nothing wrong past having the incorrect skin colour.
We should ALL be utterly condemning that.
