Popular Post RuamRudy Posted July 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 2, 2020 4 minutes ago, CorpusChristie said: Protests becomes an offence when violence occurs and property gets damaged I'll leave it to the police investigators to obtain any evidence to prosecute them . Well, they appear to have done that already, hence this topic. But going back to the point to which I initially responded, which was to 'bang em all up' - are we in agreement that that is a touch totalitarian? 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have evidence to suggest that those in the photo partook in disorderly behaviour? How do you expect anyone of sane mind to take you seriously? They are all involved in a crime. It's a bit more than disorderly, but you should invite them over for tea and take your chances. No, Stadtler cannot take you seriously.

Popular Post JonnyF Posted July 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 2, 2020 They're all gradually backing away from the movement now they read the small print. Classic left wing stupidity. Virtue signal first and work out what you're shaking your fist at later. The premier league is backing away now as are many celebrities. Obviously no action will be taken for supporting a movement that supports removing capitalism, the nuclear family, the police etc. But if you oppose this stupidity you're cancelled. 2020 might be the dumbest year in human history. 12 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The person I was replying to suggested that those who were taking photographs should be prosecuted. Since then, we have gone round in circles with angry old men venting their anger over the toppling of a statue, but none have actually been able to identify any criminal acts that these people who were witnessing this historic event took part in - because being present when a criminal act is taking place is not normally illegal in itself. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha ha, we werent suggesting that they get arrested for taking photos , it was what they were doing prior to the photo being taken, the 56 policemen didnt injure themselves and that statue didnt jump of the plinth himself , and by the way, less of the ageist and sexist labeling , thanks . 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha ha - are you the spokesperson for Bogda now? Has he and every other contributor to this thread confirmed to you their intentions when they commented? My point remains, the police are making arrests based upon the evidence available to them. Being present is not a crime. If you have evidence that all those in the picture actively assisted the assault on the police officers or partook in acts of criminal vandalism themselves then you have a civic duty to bring that evidence to the authorities. Otherwise, you are accusing people of criminality without any basis for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, you are accusing people of criminality without any basis for it. Those filmed earlier and here causing damage or assaulting police or others should be identified and brought to justice. Those filming events, are simply filming something. However, what could be interesting is if they are identified and asked to submit those films to the police as evidence. Failure to do so could be interpreted as obstruction. But I doubt the Avon and Somerset police will go down that road. One or two token arrests, police cautions, maybe prosecutions of Boris or Pritti gob off. Filming an accident, could get you in bother though.

Bet that's really scared him! Now he gets to attend a nice meeting, where he can be treated like an important person rather than a criminal. No wonder the confidence in the police is at an all time low. I've heard so many stories about the UK police - they now are like a politically correct version of the Keystone Cops. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully, the real world in which we all live is much less dystopian than you describe. You see, you missed out a critical step in the process - people get arrested based upon evidence. Oh - and judges don't decide the guilt or otherwise of a defendant. We have trials by jury in the UK. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
