Black Lives Matter has always been for equality and supporting the oppressed. The Palestinians are in need of that. What is happening there is an absolute disgrace. But of course our media or government would never call it out. Besides, you can’t possibly oppose police brutality and not mention Israel.

I love how we heard how “All lives matter. Not just Black ones” and when they show support to Palestine it’s all “Oh. dear But not not those lives”.

Did you expect him to plead guilty? That was never going to happen

He's pleading guilty to involuntary manslaughter, then?

A car ploughed into protesters last night and sped off after doing so, I’ve spoilered the video because as you can imagine, it’s a tough watch, the replies to the tweet really speaks volumes about the American way right now imo.

people really saying its a tragic accident? you dont break through a barricaded road blocked off then speed up hitting 2 people then drive off then say its an accident, its attempted murder/premeditated murder

I hope that terrorist is brought to justice and is hit with the full extent of the law because that inevitable white person is not misunderstood or mentally unstable or any other descriptors white people get to excuse their violence, the person that ran over those people are a terrorist and judging from that clip, very potentially a murderer as well.

The ancestors of colonisers telling ancestors of the indigenous Americans to ‘go home’ is one of the most ignorant things I’ve seen for a while

Standing in the middle of a road while others are obscuring drivers' line of sight? That's not terrorism, that's natural selection.

Yep a terrible accident. Why were these people walking on a fast road??

The highway was closed so he shouldn’t have even been on that road, murder charge coming I imagine

Imagine defending terrorism by calling it natural selection.

Would you be saying the same if the driver was a muslim?

Just a cop casually sharing a white supremacy symbol with a member of a known far right white suprematist group, all perfectly normal

My tablet's sound is broken so it's hard to get context - how do you know he was a white supremacist, and how do you know it wasn't just the OK symbol?

From a database of hate symbols and signs

https://www.adl.org/hate-symbols?cat_id%5B153%5D=153

A common hand gesture that a 4chan trolling campaign claimed in 2017 had been appropriated as a symbol meaning "white power." Used by many on the right--not just extremists--for the purpose of trolling liberals, the symbol eventually came to be used by actual white supremacists as well. Caution must be used in evaluating instances of this symbol's use.

So when used in the context with a known white supremacy group, it’s pretty clear cut

Wait, people take that dumb internet **** seriously? :joker: I didn't think anyone outside of their mother's basement actually used the OK symbol for anything but what it actually is.

How do you know he was from a white supremacist group?
