i used to watch his videos on the monthly gb talks.

Rasmussen poll found 62% of Americans now support Black Lives Matter, up from 37% four years ago. Only 43% of Americans approve of Trump - SBF
Violent protests reliably turn a population conservative. The longer this chaos goes on the more likely it is that Trump will get reelected.
after further review and thought, i really don't see how removing a monument or statue that may be truly offensive to a large group of people is in some way rewriting history.. i think of germany or other parts of europe.
you don't see swastikas on buildings or statues of hitler or mussolini or other upper level generals in public.
would it be good for a person (think jewish) to drive around a city and see hitler in a public park, even though it is "historical?
Should the Greeks now go around tearing down their ancient statues and ought the Italians do the same to their heritage? Both of those civilisations were built on slavery.
his murder was a crime and justice must be done, but it's sobering to learn more about the man who is being lionised by millions.

CJ - It's not a binary conversation.
I agree with you that racism must be challenged. I also think that GF was a horrible human being who was being universally lionised in the media. I admired Cadance Owen's courage in bringing some balance.
in many closed religious cults, sects or globally widely spread religions, sexual abuse on big scale is revealed and covered up by the religious authorities.
in the jw, the culture is to deal with these matters within the org itself, and the rule is, "no crime can be proven without the presentation of at least two witnesses".
men made the rules, men commit these crimes and men defend them and even forse these children to meet and talk to their abusers.
TFY - welcome to the forum.

In the UK every police shooting results automatically in a full, open and transparent investigation by the Independant office for police conduct (IOPC).
The officer will have legal representation and be required to show that his/her actions were justified.

Protesting this man’s manner of death (and by extension other questionable deaths with little to no footage) is completely understandable - StillOut
I totally agree. My point is NOT about justified protest against police violence. It is the uncritical way the entire world is lionising a deplorable human being.
