Pulling down statues (or any other action) by mob rule rather than democratic agreement is very dangerous and never leads anywhere good. I also think historical characters should be judged on the moral standards of their time period rather than those of today otherwise you could probably justify pulling every statue down.

That's weird - I'd tried that Quote button earlier but it did nothing - it's working now @poster will work as well Cheers for the replies

Dumb question of the day - how do you reply to a specific poster on here?

I have no other usernames. They were quoted in this analysis - https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1268898468766134279.html Please feel free to fact check. As a possible incentive it basically argues against the currently accepted narrative re racism. Please also fell free to view and comment on this video also: Why are trumpers morons and why do you think calling them so is helpful?

Helpful. Any comments on the facts?

Here are the FBI, NCJRS and BJS statistics: For every 10, 000 black people arrested for violent crime, 3 are killed by the police. For every 10, 000 white people arrested for violent crime, 4 are killed by the police. Doesn't quite fit the BLM/Antifa narrative to me.

2015 NTU Swedish Crime Survey: https://www.bra.se/bra/bra-in-english/home/crime-and-statistics/swedish-crime-survey.html Tend to suggest a more worrying trend than the 2014 stats posted earlier this week.
