I think people with a brain understand the original premise of Black lives matter and understand that with every movement come opportunists. People that never actual cared about the movement are just going to use incidents like this to further discredit what it was actually about.

I find this outrage kind of hypocritical too since there was no outrage about the protest disrupting cross channel travelling yesterday from people protesting against refugee camp.

Because the camps are growing and Calais is fast becoming a port to avoid rather than go through, seems a legitimate protest to me for both residents and businesses alike, if the City Airport protesters were protesting about climate change for the whole community they might have had some sympathy.

But last time they protested people found a reason not to listen. When they protested against actual deaths there was a reason not to listen. People always find excuses not to listen.

Whether you think their protest is legitimate or not the bottom line is if you're outraged about travel chaos caused yesterday you should have also been outraged about the chaos the day before. So to me the outrage is more about who the protest is coming from.

well of course people evaluate an action by its reason. The reason for the action at the airport yesterday was nonsensical, so it got the appropriate reaction.

There's always a response. The initial response was blacks kill blacks so why complain about police brutality. It's equivalent to whites kill whites so why are there any sort of justice laws. Always an excuse. I don't actually know the legitimacy of the quotes and full context of what those people meant yesterday based on what's been put out but I doubt someone would actually care to sit with them and discuss what they actually meant.
