Why is a George Floyd protest happening in London, England?

Posted by Olog-hai on Sun May 31 10:09:55 2020

Definitely internationalist-leftist involvement here.

Evening Standard

London George Floyd protest: Hundreds of activists descend on Trafalgar Square and Parliament Square brandishing placards

Kit Heren
Hundreds of activists have gathered in Trafalgar Square and outside the Houses of Parliament to protest the death of George Floyd in the US, as well as alleged police brutality in the UK.

Protesters could be heard chanting "black lives matter" and "say my name, George Floyd" in the central London squares, in reference to the campaigning civil rights group.

Others held up placards saying "Racism has no place" and "I can't breathe".

The US has been rocked by five days of protest across many cities, after George Floyd, a black man, died in police custody this week in Minneapolis.

Many US protests have been peaceful, but others have turned into violent confrontations between demonstrators and police.

A teenage protestor in Detroit was shot dead by an unknown passerby, while a law enforcement officer in Oakland was also killed after being shot.

Around 1,300 arrests have been made, with 500 of those in California on Thursday.

President Trump has expressed his sorrow at the death of Mr. Floyd, but hit out at protestors and threatened Washington activists with "vicious dogs" and ominous weapons" if they entered the White House.

Derek Chauvin has been charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter after he was filmed kneeling on Mr. Floyd's neck for around eight minutes.

Protestors in London did not appear to be social distancing, with some people warning that such a large crowd could help spread the virus.

One Twitter user said: "Not much social distancing; who would have thought we were in the middle of a pandemic…"

It comes as officials in the US warned about the dangers of protesting amid the coronavirus pandemic.

The mayor of Atlanta, which has been hit by major protests, has warned demonstrators they have put themselves at risk of contracting coronavirus and should get tested.

And as emergency orders imposed at the start of the pandemic are lifted, protests have now been added to the list of concerns about a possible second wave of infections.

Similar issues have been raised in Paris and Hong Kong, where anti-government protesters have accused police of using social distancing rules to break up their rallies.

Of course you would condemn a peaceful protest (unlike the ones here), psycho.

a peaceful protest (unlike the ones here)

Note that a significant percentage of the protests here are peaceful too.

Maybe because people care about other people. I know that's a foreign
concept to you, so no one here should expect you to understand love for your fellow man.

yup.

I mean, stealing sneakers from sporting goods stores is male bonding for many rioters. Has nothing to do with Floyd.

Same reason they're going out of their way to destroy kosher businesses

and same reason why certain people aren't posting anymore.

It seems to happen all the time when it's a leftist protest. That's no coincidence.

If you say that, then maybe you aren't as "reasonable" as you think you are. When was the last time you engaged in self-examination? Never take your own views for granted, and never, ever assume that anything on the left is reasonable.

And while I want that animal that choked George to fry as he should in the legal system, the unfortunate riots (not protests) just makes me turn away further from the left. The same people that were claiming the people in michigan 2 weeks ago actually protesting to open their hair salons and restaurants, etc are savages, but the looters, arsonists and vandals this week are wonderful just makes me want to vote left even less.

The left hasn't made you unreasonable. The left is unreasonable. Once they start in with the name-calling, they show their true nature.

LOL! Is that your current situation (or if not, destiny), streetcarnazi?

I suspect you really are streetcarman1 (which you never denied); and if so, you already agreed with antisemite Dutchrailnut on his overtly antisemitic views. Not surprising, since the left is inherently antisemitic.
