The PC and Perpetually Offended Brigade

Her street skillz were good but they inevitably cost her her life.
Should be out drinking flagons of cider at that age. Such a waste of a young life and you have to think of the two girls she was fighting with too. Can't be easy watching and being a part of that for a mid teen, or indeed, anybody.

"Taking a knee and other forms of athlete protest to be banned at Tokyo Olympics"

https://www.the42.ie/protests-at-tokyo-olympics-5416604-Apr2021/

I'm all for anti-racism initiatives n that jazz but in football, taking a knee has lost all impact. It's probably about time sport became depoliticized again anyway.

Banning protesting is opening themselves up to a total shitshow.

Agreed. A ridiculous move and one a lot of athletes will disobey I'd say.

As regards the girl getting killed. You carry a knife and threaten someone with it then I'd prefer the person with the knife getting shot than the innocent person getting stabbed.

You need to hold up your Colortrend card before making that sort of a statement.

Twice I've been threatened with a knife. The first time I was unaware of as I'd been battered beforehand (mugged outside McGonagles, aged 15). The second time I was fortunate enough that the cunt was pissed, so I kicked the everloving shit out of him 'til a local detective stopped me and sent me home.

I have no problem whatsoever with anyone threatening or attacking another person with a knife being killed. It's the act of a coward.

I wonder what will happen after all of these shootings. Will they reform the police and give them no guns? How do they fix the issue that is seemingly endemic? It's mad how much stirred up emotion there is out there now because of this.

I'm going to bet on absolutely nothing. If they do fuck-all after people going in and shooting up schools, primary schools sometimes, because "that's the way it is", then I really don't see anything happening here.

The gun problem is so massive and so engrained that it may never be sorted. It's great to sit in Ireland and think they should just ban gun sales. In practice over there it would be a nightmare. Even without selling new guns the whole country is flooded with them.

[Eoin McLove]

One thing you need to consider, and I don't necessarily mean agree with but just factor in, is that in America owning a gun for many people is as much a part of their identity as anything else. I think it goes deeper than merely exercising their right to own a gun; owning guns is part of what it means to be American. It has become an existential matter. So how do you unravel that? Mix in political ideology and you're truly fucked.

[Ollkiller]

You'll never stop gun ownership in America. They should just sell handguns and shotguns. Assault rifles should only be allowed to rent at a gun range. Letting people own an assault rifle is crazy seeing as it's the weapon of choice in school shooting. Personally I don't think anyone should own a gun except for the reasons we have gun ownership in Ireland but as Andy said it's ingrained over there.

Lots of republicans losing their assault rifles in unfortunate boating accidents lately, so the level of ownership is decreasing all the time. As for all the ammo, they had just gotten to the end of the stockpiles before the many unfortunate incidents

[Eoin McLove]

What's all that about?

[astfgyl]

Republicans fear that the democrat govt are coming for their assault rifles, so to lose them in a boating accident now saves the authorities the bother of coming for said guns.

Soak it in lads, ya bunch of judgemental bastards.  How dare you not have the preference of going after some wrinkly auld one.

Maybe this idiot ought to blame herself for her situation as all of that man-hate would cause a few wrinkles.
