Well, if they stripped it down and took away the racism and politics it would be a completely different situation. But it's not.

I think you need to listen to the 'funny' comments on the video Livia

Mocking a burning building with added racism that killed 72 is meaningless! Offseason is back a day early!

Have you listened to the comments? This wasn't an innocent burning of a bit of cardboard

We can't give up our freedoms because camera phones have been invented. 1984 was a warning, not a manual.

If they didn't include the paper figures, would it still be "racist"?

What political views did they express?

"If they weren't racist, would it still be racist?" is a meaningless comment.

Why are you (and others) trying so hard to defend it? Do you even believe this would be an okay thing to do without the racism? Or do you just wanna talk aimlessly about hypotheticals? Like where are you actually hoping to get with this hypothetical question?

Bizarre behaviour from some people in here.

I'm not necessarily trying to defend it, but it's just a bunch of idiots having fun in a stupid way. I doubt they put much thought into it, beyond imagining they were being little edgelords.

A lot of people could do with a serious knicker de-twisting.

Who's defending it?

It might be that people are just putting a different spin on the story for discussions sake.

You're smart enough to know the difference between burning an effigy of a person and burning an effigy of a tragedy. I doubt you'd be so quick to find balance had they burned an effigy of another tragedy, like say, the holocaust.

5 men walked into the Police station
last night,
aged 19 to 54.

South London Location.

[Officers said they arrested two 49-year-olds, a 55-year-old
, another man aged 46 and a 19-year-old after they handed
themselves in to a south London police station on Monday night.]
