What is this, the fecking Sancho thread where every fifth post was about whether we had reached some thread milestone?

Please do tell! Schwäbisch Hall and I have an intimate relationship.
It's not that exciting :D I have family from the area; my maternal grandfather was of Swabian ancestry and back when that part of the family was still intact it wasn't unusual to simply switch to German in conversation because everyone was familiar with it, even those born and bred in Hungary. Some of them returned to Germany as part of the forcible deportations after World War II; others, who considered themselves Hungarian instead of German at that point, stayed.

No, I'm saying you putting "mostly peaceful" in quotes communicated very clearly that you either believe that they were mostly NOT peaceful or that they were inherently not peaceful by their nature. Both statements are bullshit as time and time again the people arrested for starting or committing the violence were external actors either profiteering from the protests or deliberately trying to undermine them by committing acts of violence. Also, asking your local police force to fecking not kill you is not identity politics.
You're conflating protests against police brutality with the aftermath. There was widespread looting, lawlessness and destruction of property but that has brushed under the rug by most media because it goes against the narrative. Hence the quotation marks. I live in Manhattan on a pretty busy avenue, and the stores are boarded up. Fifth Avenue/ Madison Avenue stores boarded up like a third world country. That's not normal. Not acknowledging/condemning it by Dems was dumb.

Have to feel for him really, it was looking good for Labour in the last UK elections until they started "finding" all those Tory votes.
