    Is Musk merely crazy, or dangerous by design?

    He's crazy

    I heard there's going to be anti immigration protests around my area tomorrow, which evidently might break to be a riot

    Elon Musk is a trouble maker, a disruptor by design.

    However, this was all predictable following the tragic murders of those three little girls, especially when the murderer's name was revealed. If he had been white, what then? But he isn't.

    Many people refer to Enoch Powell's , Rivers Of Blood speech and it has now become their mantra.

    Elon Musk is indeed a disruptor and a vile, disgusting individual.

    Do you remember what he said about the British National that helped cooordinate the rescue of the young Thai boys from a cave some years ago?

    Don’t remember what he said, but I imagine it was completely odious.

    Why do people with vast billions of dollars feel they deserve to influence the course of history - - in their own and other countries?

    This is the "news" outlet that sparked the UK riots

    A local media outlet has outed the person who started spreading the rumours about the alleged attacker

    He was actually born in the UK and apparently his parents are originally from Rwanda. He was never a boat person.

    Why let the truth complicate matters for our racist 'friends'?

    I know that, but there's a big red box denoting "FALSE" on the screenshot


    Right, since a media outlet has reported the arrest of the person who first started all this nonsense off, I will link who got arrested

    Woman who first shared fake Southport suspect rumour that sparked riots arrested
    She has been arrested on suspicion of publishing written material to stir up racial hatred.

    The wheels of justice usually turn slow and so there has been a deliberate effort to effect prompt sentencing on some initial culprits to deter others.

    Filming sentencing in courts is a relatively recent thing in England and Wales and so I think some of you will find this interesting.

    Thanks, @Bombonera - - very interesting indeed, to hear the factors entering into the sentencing. This immediate handling of these two rioters certainly would serve as a deterrent, and again makes me wish that the US Courts hadn’t taken so long to bring Jan6 perpetrators to trial.

    This is what I mean, @Bombonera : news just came through on Washington Post - -


    Liverpool rioters from last week are already being sentenced. Yet the Jan6 insurrectionists are still being tried and sentenced 3.5 years later. And their Lead Dog may well escape justice altogether, for inciting an insurrection against the US government, FFS!

    Man who pleaded guilty to assaulting police during Capitol attack gets 20 years, the second longest sentence of Jan. 6 defendants

    David N. Dempsey deployed chemical spray on police and attacked them with poles in one of the most violent confrontations between law enforcement and the mob on Jan. 6, 2021. He pleaded guilty earlier this year to two counts of assaulting police with dangerous or deadly weapons.

    Well that’s certainly interesting that they picked up on the very point you made.

    It is indeed very poor that more than 3 years on some of these cases have not been prosecuted and resolved.

Thank you for the support!
