I was thinking similar about your defence of her.  Reeks of an agenda

bit cowardly to call someone a racist, but then completely cower and back out when asked for the tiniest modicum of any justification for such a serious accusation (against someone who's won a defamation case no-less )

as I said, it's training people to not take you seriously when you're making serious claims.

I didn't know who this Rachel Riley was until five minutes ago, but if you start publicly attributing atrocities to a race or religion before the facts are known (and don't give me "she didn't say that, only that this is what X looks like"... end result is the same), then that is the dictionary definition of prejudice right there.

if it's truly prejudicial, then it's at the expense/against violent fascist terrorists.

what's the "end result"? a slur on the reputation of people who try to murder civilians? I would imagine their PR team aren't too actively upset

Racist or not, c*nt or not, Oxford graduate or not. She certainly isn't very bright.

My mum and I were at Bondi Junction Westfield just a couple of hours before this happened. We had some coffee and food there before heading off. It seemed like a completely unremarkable day then at Bondi Jn; just loads of people out shopping, people catching up over coffee, children running around, the usual stuff.

Crazy to think all of that changed in the blink of an eye. To blame this on mental illness is to do the many people suffering from mental illnesses of various types a disservice. The media coverage, particularly Channel 7's, has been a total disgrace. Well done to the Police officer who took the guy out. I'm not for police violence, but he was walking around stabbing anyone in sight and was a clear danger to the lives of many.

What would you blame it on then?

Nonsense, this was specifically aimed at pro Palestinian and Islamic terrorists, stop pretending otherwise.

where's the pretense?

why are you concerned about the feelings of people who want to murder civilians? lifes too short to worry about upsetting the feelings of terrorists who wouldn't think twice about killing you

it was in poor taste to write it when she did, but thats it. there's not a thing in what she wrote castigating scumbag fascist murderers that requires any apology - even if we work on the assumption that she was crediting them for a goal they hadn't scored

Put it this way, if it was Trump saying "this is what your suburbs would look like if the Democrats are allowed to fill them with urban thugs", would you consider that a little prejudicial? And if so, why are you so concerned with the feelings of violent gangsters?
