It's kicking off in Atlanta

[rodericb]

Atlanta, Georgia, USA. Antifa occupied "autonomous zone". Not much media coverage of this melee.

A variety of people are devoted to the cause: https://www.msn.com/en-au/news/crime/antifa-terror...

Not sure how you can claim it's not covered. Marge is trying to stir it up, it's been all over the news that a protest about another cop killing of a black person turned violent... continued in the news all over the weekend, until two more mass killings took the headlines.

almost as if you had an agenda...

What agenda do you suspect he has? (Perhaps a hidden one?)

The facts are: this rioting/ disturbance is not been well reported in the UK.

There is no headline on the BBC/ grain/ DM.


True: two major shootings in CA in recent daya might have the USA editor busy


The guardian article is somewhat tilted: it describes the "assassination in cold blood" of the little turtle, yet fails to mention them shooting at the police first.

I understand in the states that is tantamount to suicide.


I don't follow us politics, so don't know if this sort of disturbance is bau or not.

Guardian said:

Officials say Manuel shot first at a state trooper “without warning” and an officer or officers returned fire, but they have produced no evidence for the claim. The trooper was described as stable and in hospital Thursday.

The fact that a Trooper is in hospital is presumably "evidence" they were fired on?

Yes indeed. In Piercean logic this would be known as an “index”. However, they’re not too bright at The Guardian.

I suppose the argument will be the person shot by police might not be the one who shot at the police. Again with these things it's political the rioters can do no wrong etc

.

The implication that this is due to bias, rather than simply not being significant enough to be international news.

The simple fact is that US police killings are so common that it’s not news anymore, something we are just not used to in the UK, and the “riot” appears to be absolutely tiny and very localised.

[Elroy Blue]

He shot a Police Officer (who still is in a critical condition) and was killed when they returned fire. The only 'doubt' is created by the false stories circulated by Antifa.
The Antifa mob are terrorising local residents and destroying the forest the camp in. Most of them are not from Georgia.
It's odd as the scream for more Police training, they attempt to stop a Police training centre being built.
Stop making excuses for extreme anarchy.

"grain"
"turtle"
"bau"



Is this some new street-speak I'm too old to understand?

[TriumphStag3.0V8]

I suspect grain was meant to be The Guardian, bau is Business as Usual (fairly common term).

Turtle, no idea what that is meant to mean in this context??

Clearly the question is over whether he fired first.

Yep, but given the many documented cases of US police officers 'misremembering' events, it's only evidence they were fired on, not that they were fired n first.

That was the name they gave themselves, probably mutant but not very ninja...

I saw it on the home page of my Microsoft Edge browser, it was a Fox news article which I thought I wouldn't link due to the reaction because, well, Fox.. So I looked on BBC, searched for Atlanta and got nothing. Searched Google for Atlanta CHAZ and Atlanta riot and only got a couple of Fox articles and a bunch of links from sites like, I dunno - holypathisthisway.com and righteouspatriots.com - which I know would send you into a right tizz. So blame Google for setting any agenda.

Google analytics is based on a mix of your history and who's paying them to be top of the page. If you only get crank right wing sources maybe read less news from crank right wing sources

To be fair, that'd probably mean having to stop visiting this forum

That's because you used the wrong search phrases, you should have searched for "Atlanta Peaceful Protest", or "Atlanta Non-Violent Protest" and something might have come up. Plus Antifa is just an idea, not a group or organisation, so no good using that in your search either.
