The Official Politics Thread (enter at your own risk)

[Come On You Irons]

There. Resident WHO political commentators and gurus can knock yourselves out in here and conduct your endless bickering. All other threads will be locked.

If anyone cares Brits will be able to enter China without a visa (for 30 days).

That's a fair trade for letting them build a signal interception station disguised as an embassy.

Looks like China have been entering Starmer without a visa for years.

He won't get Jimmy Lai out.

Carrying a gun around is completely crazy to me. However there is still no excuse for putting 10 bullets into a guy after you've taken that gun from him and while you have him pinned down.

Do you know for sure it's the only sidearm he's carrying?

You can't assume it is.

10 seems a bit much but you might as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb once you've discharged the first round.

A bit much?

I think once you have him pinned down you can check if he has any other hidden weapons.

There was someone who said he had a gun on him as it was taken away and the first one to shoot him possibly didn't realise it had been removed. 10 shots altogether is excessive. But fancy rocking up either looking for trouble/filming ICE Agents whilst carrying a fire arm yet again to protest/get involved once more in the space of weeks. Those Intensive Care Units in America must be like war zones.

Trigger happy Yanks, who'd have thought it..

Armed with a gun is an interesting statement and there is footage of this bloke with a gun on his person stuck in his waistband in the middle of his back.

He must have been familiar to the ICE people too and they must have known that he carried a piece thus they were aware of his lethal potential. There is at yet no footage of this bloke handling let alone brandishing his weapon but it baffles me as to why he went to a demo, allegedly to see fair play, with a pistol on his person.

your average American goes to the supermarket armed so I guess this isn't that unusual 

[Massive Attack]

As well as being an INTENSIVE CARE NURSE which they've kept ever so quiet about mentioning. Totally normal behaviour for such a profession in America.

Well I've just seen the footage of this imbecile a week or so before his suicide by ICE agent where facial recognition identifies him as the lanky streak of piss aggressively confronting ICE agents, spitting in their faces and attacking their vechicle while armed with a handgun and now I know why none of you mongs will touch the question of why he took the weapon to a peaceful protest.

It's quite obvious he was neither peaceful, nor protestor but rather an armed and violent agitator intent on stirring up some shit.

ICE agents may the method of this clowns demise but thery're certainly not the cause, this malleable idiot is dead because he's spent the last decade allowing himself to be brainwashed by left wing media propaganda.

It's America. They take their gun in the shower.

Well if you've purchased and keep a gun in your home because you concerned by the threar of a home invasion or similar then you're probably never more vulnerable than when your in the shower, unless of course you're alseep, so it's a very practical course of action and not a bad idea.


Do you know what is a bad idea?

Taking a pistol to a larp when you intend to act the cսnt around armed law enforcement officers. FAFO.

Mr Anon, on the one hand they want to be isolationist and on the other rule the world.

Give 'em another century and they might grasp the difficulty of squaring those two concepts.

Cheers for the update. Good to hear how all these developing countries around the world are doing.

Anyone got the the shipping forecast?




 

 

I do, there’s a US Armada off the coast of Iran about to free the poor oppressed Persian people of 50 years
of agony.

Don’t worry though Starmer will soon announce Sharia law in the UK and you can all find out first hand what all the fuss is about.

Didn't you used to champion Trump for pulling the US out of other country's problems?

[goose]

The US sends a fleet to the Persian Gulf to stop Iran murdering protesters, meanwhile back in the US they execute protesters.

[Monsieur merde de cheval]

after seven kids, you'd have to be hung like a shire horse to touch the sides.

that and the desperate dan lantern jaw, it's a big NO for me.

going around in circles at this point, as others have said why were assault rifles taken to previous protests? I think all guns should be banned, what do you think?

 

Yet again avoid the point at all costs.

Why did he feel the need to take a pistol to a peaceful protest?

And but MAGA did it isn't an answer.

As for guns, they are nothing more than inanimate objects incapable of causing harm without input from an operator, I could list many everyday objects that also fit that description.

If someone means to do harm they'll find away whether guns are available or not. 

Banning them doesn't get rid of them as they quite ubiquitous even where banned, and fairly simple to improvise.

You say you "think all guns should be banned" but you that's probably not true because I doubt you've ever actually thought about it you've just been conditioned to accept it as fact.







 

contradiction then isnt it, didn't matter if he took a gun or a spoon, fairly simply to improvise 

You do strike me as someone with the brains to bring a spoon to a gun fight.

But no, taking a spoon isn't remotely comparable. 

Again though, why did he feel the need to take a modified sidearm to a peaceful protest? 

It's not a trick question.

[Hammer I am]

What difference does it make? It's completely irrelevant to the point y'all seem to be going out of your way to avoid.

Why did he feel the need to take a modified sidearm to a (peaceful) protest?
