wait what???

hmmm maybe a beard with the crew cut could work

I'm saying your "victims" are collectively guilty if they think a riot is "justice".  And should be deported.

I'm better than a judge at the Hague--I think people should be punished.

Do you really think the guy who loses his job--or his eyesight or his life-- because a building got firebombed or robbed in a riot, had anything to do with police at a checkpoint?   If the bourgeois deserve mayhem and death because they ignore the repression of the lumpenproletariat, where are the lumpenproletariat?  If you say "they own the police, they should have protested, they deserve this" why weren't the "victims" protesting 24/7?  By that standard the only righteous men are chained up in trees protesting right now.

>>We're talking about a traditionally oppressed people, the Gypsies.  It is absurd to say the violence committed by Gypsies against people or property associated with ethnically French majority in response to perceived ethnic violence against Gypsies is ethnic cleansing because the French ethnicity is the majority in that society, an ethnic majority represented in the institutions of authority which is known to have conducted violent oppression of the Romani Gypsies in the past.<<

No. I'm saying, if, say, the cops would allow Cape Cod fishermen to loot a gypsy camp because a gypsy somewhere pissed off the Cape Cod fisherfolk, then that would demonstrate the righteousness of ethnic cleansing of Cape Cod fisherfolk as total farking yahoos.

>>Moreover, if the French majority have benefited financially or otherwise from their institutions oppressing the Romani Gypsies, who is to say that some level of compensation isn't due to be paid to (or extracted by) the Romani Gypsies.  If they have indeed suffered disadvantaged economic opportunity and suffered physically or emotionally at the hands of predominantly French-controlled institutions, and compensation for that suffering has not been paid, not paid in full, nor successfully extracted, who is to say a certain amount of violence / vandalism is not justifiable?<<

Me.

>> This is what happened to the Gypsies in that community, and, I believe if I had been there, and had I been  Romani Gypsy, and it had been my brother who had been killed, and killed merely because he had stolen a loaf of bread and was fleeing the scene, would I not have been justified in seeking revenge?<<

I'm not sure about "revenge", but definitely not entitled to "random violence on anything not-Gypsy"

>>Why is this such a concern to me?  Well, I hear of police killing civilians all the time, protesters killed everyday in one part of the world or another, and nothing ever seems to come of it anymore.  People seem to have lost touch with the seriousness of the police killing civilians.  It is such a heinous act, I cannot believe it happens in our day and age, especially in France, the historical cradle of liberty.<<

We have stupid rioting in this country over such stuff and it oughta be put down with rifle fire.

@ East: I think its deliberate sacrifice of the public to spare cops.

should know i'm the fool with the Channel-Hurricane hole cards

>>You don't think that perhaps, just maybe, the issue of bigotry of the French police, the traditional, historical suffering of Gypsies in Europe, and whether or not their retaliation might not be justifiable is mere spam?  I'll tell you what.  Discussing police response time here would be spamming this thread. <<

If you're going to argue that a certain ethnic group has every right to engage in random violence against innocent people because of a grudge against their bureaucracy, you're making the case for ethnic cleansing.

hmm we should do a "Crazy Mob" pix thread

damn Euros oughta go back to Hindustan
