Liam Payne, who I’d never heard of until 10 minutes ago, has died after falling out of a 3rd storey window.

Wait.
You mean there are 2 sides to a story?

Who’d have thunk it

I am actually surprised that in that case evidence of his criminality was suppressed. The shooting officer may not have known who he was shooting, but he did know the vehicle was linked to a firearms incident in the preceding 24 hours. That almost certainly played a role in his assessment of the imminent threat, and not allowing that seems prejudicial to the officer’s defence.

Not a fishing trip, and keep your sordid RW references to yourself.

The over use of RW accusations towards anyone other than extreme left are nauseating.

Its been all over the news for ages that a poor helpless innocent man was murdered.
Turns out theres another side to it

An accusation made by RWNJ of anyone who doesn’t agree with them.

Is there (even) such a thing as “the extreme left”? Lots of people use it as a counter to “the extreme right” - which is tangibly understood in the context of everyday process, but what really is “the extreme left”?

Anyone who is critical of the extreme right :joy:

Are you talking to me?

I deleted my post as i realised i had posted in the wrong thread.

Otherwise my response to your stuff here I’ll keep to myself given the current subject.

Wait, your Internet isn’t working, but you can post on here?
Spooky

You’ve lost me - but that’s ok.

Tankies?

I think when someone believes that their political or religious beliefs should trump someone else’s human rights, it is a fair measure of extremeness.

I had to look that up… but does it accurately describe (most/)any of the people it is actually used against?

Apologists of oppressive governments? I think it may have been adopted as a general insult but it’s original use was justified.
