Good shot? Posted January 7, 2022 Report Share Posted January 7, 2022 Any review will not affect the result of the trial but may help prevent a repeat of the verdict in a similar case. 'Maybe'. I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Maybe'. I believe. I think you may well be right. Wishful thinking on my part. It's disgraceful that such blatant criminal damage returns a not guilty. It aggravates me that they walk away unpunished Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnfromUK Posted September 26, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2023 (edited) Reawakening an old thread, I see that (and it really doesn't come as a surprise) some of the funds raised by the BLM organisers in connection with the tearing down of the Edward Colston statue in Bristol have mysteriously disappeared, and now the organiser has been found pleaded guilty of to fraud, and the £30,000 missing presumed 'un recoverable'. https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol-news/woman-guilty-fraud-over-colston-8777963 Edited September 26, 2023 by JohnfromUK It was a guilty plea, not a verdict. My initial mistake, now corrected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penelope Posted September 27, 2023 Report Share Posted September 27, 2023 On 06/01/2022 at 09:28, Scully said: It’s only the decision that can be questioned, nothing else. Whatever the reason behind them doing what they did, is irrelevant. They were charged with criminal damage, and acquitted, for whatever reason. Personally, if ripping down a public statue ( whoever it represents and the reasons for its installation ) and throwing it off a jetty isn’t criminal damage, then I don’t know what is. It’s a difficult one really, because Basically it’s mob rule…..’we don’t like it or what it represents, so we’re getting rid.’ That isn’t democracy, it’s civil unrest, and while I don’t mind a bit of anarchy, it’s representation isn’t threatening anyones way of life, and there were much better ways of having it removed. I can totally understand people resenting the statue and what it represented, but I don’t know when the statue was erected nor if there was a public outcry at the time it was mooted, but if not, then why not? If there wasn’t, then it’s simply jumping on the anti establishment bandwagon and virtue signalling of the most cynical kind. If our history is to be replaced because of what it represented with the benefit of a more enlightened society, then where do we stop? The Spanish have a lot of apologising and recompense to pay to indigenous South American people, as do the British for the Holy Wars and Crusades, and the church in general has a lot of apologising to do to all of us. What about all those persecuted and imprisoned because of their sexual orientation? Some have been pardoned, but a posthumous pardon is meaningless, because they don’t know! Prejudice comes in many guises, and not simply because of the colour of your skin. If the jury found those four not guilty because of what their act represented, and not because of what they did, then logic dictates at least two of the Mount Rushmore presidents should be removed. I wish them good luck with that. We need to know why the jury thought they weren’t guilty of criminal damage. If your argument is continued both the Nordic countries and Italy also have a lot of apologising too. Where does it stop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All these 'movements' (BLM, ER, JSO and the rest) have a significant mass of enthusiastic followers. Where you've got lots of followers, in these mass internet enabled times, you can raise big funds - quickly and a with a little each from lots of sources is very hard for police to trace/follow up. Where you have that sort of opportunity, you will get those who manipulate the situation for their own criminal ends. Fools and their money are easily parted.
