Totally disgusted by those rioting in Southport

[Bex5490]

Southport has experienced the most unbelievable tragedy.

Their emergency services had to respond to probably the most traumatic calls they’ve ever had, yet tonight they are being attacked by thugs?

The latest is that these people are destroying people’s homes to get bricks with which to throw at the police.

I am heartbroken, bewildered and disgusted. How dare they destroy the homes of that grieving town.

The EDL are disgusting. There is a story of some intending to burn down a shop where a quick witted woman living above claimed it was hers. They left it because she was white. The shop was not hers. But she could have been burned alive with her children because of their racism and cruelty.

How fucking low can these thugs go, using the memories of dead children as an excuse for what they did. They didn't care about those girls, their families or the distress their actions would cause. Each and everyone of them and those who fuelled the flames including the likes of Lee Anderson, Nigel Farage and the head fuckwit Stephen Yaxley-Lennon should all be held to account.

And you ought to be ashamed posting personal attacks on here which aren't allowed.

Disagree by all means but do so civilly.

What has mass immigration got to do with this?

Posting stuff that carefully stays just across the line from outright racism/prejudice whilst still carefully designed to resonate with those with a prejudiced/racist view is also playing into the hands of extremists.

And label it, track it just like we do with 'terrorism' & 'extremism'. It will very VERY quickly put it into perspective.

There's a reason why it's easy to name monstrous women. It's impossible to reel of the names of monstrous men.

And I say that as someone who quite likes men. I married one, made 3 & currently live with 3. I also live with 3 dogs & know full well whom I'm statistically more at risk from.

Some people don't deserve to be spoken to civilly. Especially Scottishlassie who has been banned from MN for being a racist cunt.

Racist bollocks. The whole lot. Feel free to report me

Oddly enough I've not seen any of the posters from the Manchester Airport thread, who were so quick to express outrage over police being attacked, rush to condemn this attack on emergency services.

I wonder what's different this time?

How?

We have a thing called freedom of speech.

I'm anti Farage and what he stands for, but this is a democracy and people support and vote for him.

Wanting to 'hold him to account' for his opinions is a very slippery somewhat fascist slope.

Understanding why people support him and the roots of their disconnect is key to solving the issue of the far right.

I agree it’s important to listen to people and their concerns, it’s our best and only defence against the rise of populist authoritarian regimes worldwide.

I’m presuming those behaving this way haven’t got children who are scared to go to clubs now because of the situation locally. The police are doing their job. Those children could now be witnessing violence in the streets. Sadly there has a lot to be said for mental health and the lack of support in this country when a 17 year old thinks he can set out to harm children with a knife. A few weeks ago an ex boyfriend thought he could harm his girlfriend and her family with a crossbow. The people that carry out these acts are missing out on some kind of support before in escalates scarily meaning others are at harm.

You are a racist.

Putin's troll farms?
The pathetic individuals who spread his misinformation because they, not the police, know what's going on?

The pissed up thugs who attacked a mosque because they wanted to?

To everyone who spread shite about the atrocity: You are responsible for further traumatising Southport. You are responsible for the attack on our emergency services. Give yourselves a slow hand clap.

Where's he immigrated from?

Wales as far as we know

Indeed.

I am sure they have thought of it but I wish they got a fire hose onto them

Give it a rest! DHs grandad lived in the midst of a largely Muslim Community up north with a large family occupying several houses next to & around him. They had a lovely relationship & looked after him. When we bought the grumpy git frivolities like Easter eggs (true Yorkshireman), he'd save them & give them to the children. They'd exchange gifts at Christmas despite not celebrating it themselves. When he died, they were there to commiserate & be kind to us & he would have been delighted that they bought his house to knock through & allow them more space.

This was a grumpy, intolerant, old-fashioned, tight-fisted, DM-reading Yorkshireman. The difference between him & the morons throwing bricks at the police (and each other 😂) is that he knew, when it comes to it, people are people not homogeneous, faceless groups.

Csnt they just round up these EDF imbeciles and lock them up for the foreseeable?

Unfortunately there's no room in prisons.

Mass killers of strangers are frequently motivated by a dark ideology that they often pick up online - not always - but past mass killings (Columbine, Anders Breivik, 7/7, Manchester Aerna) have been motivated by diverse ideologies such as Naxi Occultism, facism, MGTOW or Islamist extremism.

Usually, there's a mental health factor too - sometimes schizophrenia or schizo-affective disorder. It's unclear as to what extent pre-existing mental illnesses make extreme ideologies more attractive, as they can offer a reassuring-seeming framework for viewing what can seem a confusing and frightening world world to a mentally ill individual. Sometimes, marinating in these evil ideologies can make the symptoms of the mental illness worse, which can then trigger a psychotic break, which can then trigger a horror like what we saw on Monday.

There's a whole plethora of really good research around the intersection of mental illness and extreme ideology in potentially influencing stochastic terrorism and mass killing - I will leave you to research and read at your choice.

I'm sure there will be plenty of arrests over the coming days - most of them were too stupid to cover their faces.
