The guard dogs order us to call for calm. We call for justice. Withdraw the legal action against poor Nahel. Hang the murderous policeman and his accomplice who ordered him to shoot. Leave the paramedic alone.

Do you hear the people sing?

    Voices sounding off are very different to voices calling for execution, possibly encouraging vigelante violence. It’s the latter that goes beyond political ideas and becomes opportunistic demagoguery.

      Doing exactly what is needed to get change to happen when the cops are murdering children in traffic stops by shooting them in the head and then lying about it at every single level of power is good actually.

      When the state refuses to provide justice people should absolutely take it. The threat of the population taking their own justice is precisely what motivates states to provide a source of it that they control.

      I strongly recommend you actually watch what happened.

        Uggh. I did watch what happened. None of what you said makes what he said not opportunistic. You’re yelling at me about something I’m not talking about.
