"It was pretty hectic, it was almost like a stampede. "...The guys went in there, they sort of put a little cordon around him to stop him receiving any more physical harm. His life was under threat. "So I just went under, scooped him up and put him on my shoulders and sort of started marching towards the police with him whilst all the guys were surrounding me and protecting me and the guy I had on my shoulder."..... https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/picture-its-story-black-personal-trainer-carries-suspected-far-right-n1231056?fbclid=IwAR0MECEEa0pqX0iLeEQCJE8E9hPLN3iOLA4ib_c6aZzXuELOeag6NJbul9o Link to post Share on other sites
jamesjazzguitar Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Here is a CNN article related to Facebook; https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/18/opinions/facebook-zuckerberg-inaction-alaimo/index.html One thing it calls for is that Facebook set up a non-partisan group: Facebook should respond by working with other social networks to create a nonpartisan organization to set standards for policing content on all major platforms. Ah, there is no such thing as a nonpartisan organization, since humans are partisan so I assume the author means a group with an equal number of partisans, but in today's times that would just lead to no decisions. Even if they could agree on this 'set of standards', who would enforce \ apply them? Humans, and again, they are partisan. I.e. there is no way any standards would be applied 'equally'.

mr6666 Posted June 20 Author Share Posted June 20 The Hill @thehill · Protesters tear down statues of Union general Ulysses S. Grant, national anthem lyricist Francis Scott Key http://hill.cm/QEVZWsz =========================================== '>........While Grant is widely celebrated as being one of the leading forces who helped the Union win the Civil War, bringing an end to slavery in the U.S., some historians have pointed to his complicated relationship with slavery. "Grant did in fact own a man named William Jones for about a year on the eve of the Civil War," Sean Kane, interpretations and programs specialist at the American Civil War Museum, said in an article. "In 1859, Grant either bought or was given the 35-year-old Jones, who was in Grant’s service until he freed him before the start of the War." Kane also noted that Grant married into a slaveholding family that owned dozens of slaves. After Confederate forces fired on Fort Sumter, Grant wrote his father, an abolitionist, saying, “My inclination is to whip the rebellion into submission, preserving all Constitutional rights. If it cannot be whipped any other way than through a war against slavery, let it come to that legitimately. If it is necessary that slavery should fall that the Republic may continue its existence, let slavery go.”.......... Link to post Share on other sites
