OUTRAGEOUS: The English Defence League Has Its Selma
The Hayride ^ | 30 June 13 | MacAoidh

Posted on 06/30/2013 9:42:28 AM PDT by LSUfan

What you’ll see on this video is something so breathtakingly ridiculous that if we just described it and didn’t show it to you, you’d think we were lying.

Namely, that Tommy Robinson and Kevin Carroll, two activists from the anti-Muslim protest group the English Defence League, attempted to conduct a charity walk in East London on behalf of a little girl with neuroblastoma – and included in their plans was to lay a wreath at Woolwich Barracks, the site where British soldier Lee Rigby was slaughtered in broad daylight by a pair of jihadists on May 22. But Robinson and Carroll were prevented from concluding their walk, first by someone later connected with a pro-Muslim pressure group who physically assaulted Robinson in full view of the police, and second by the police themselves, who arrested the pair “on suspicion of obstructing officers.”

I saw that yesterday on LiveLeak, it was ridiculous...they were assaulted and the police did NOTHING to the fella that hit them.

I did find it amazing how much they can argue with their police and not be knocked out, tazered or shot.

As you may be aware, I along with police officers are duty bound to preserve the Queen’s peace.

Indeed this is a duty, which sits with all citizens.

But since the muslim residents aren't citizens, they aren't bound to the same rules?

Why is is it outrageous? And to whom?

The United Nations?

Liberals?

The Government?

The elite?

Maybe to the silent majority.

But if they remain silent much longer, they will be kept silent.

And even some on here attack Robinson.....

EDL seems to be one of the few to stand up to the Islamic KKK.

And...you can see who the government really supports

Another version of The Troubles could come to Britain again - brought on by a government united against its own people.

I saw the video also.It is typical now that a woman cop will start provoking and invoking as the male cop stands behind.It happens a lot in the US now.I do not like it when a cop feels he or she has to touch a citizen and speak nonsensical,police gibberish especially when the actual assault crime was ignored.I do not know if I would have the restraint that the EDL had.I know they have been rightly criticized in the past for shenanigans but in this instance they were doing nothing wrong.

If we all were allowed to ‘’keep and bear’’ arms as the Second Amendment gives us the right to without infringement, cops would be a lot less likely to act like thugs with a badge. Hard to behave that way when Average John Q. Public is packing heat too.

That video is a little glimpse into a society that has nearly lost its will to survive.

So when the British Police obstruct you, you are actually obstructing the police.
