Police Asked to Arrest Nazi Fascist Terrorising Camp for Climate Action

Nick Martian | 22.08.2010 07:52 | Climate Chaos | Ecology | Workers' Movements | World

A request is being made for the police to arrest the former soldier who has been threatening and terrorising the Camp for Climate Action in Edinburgh.
Posting on Twitter under the name of wearethebritish the ex serviceman has threatened to attack the climate campers and to burn down the climate camp.

There is a group of Scottish members of the English Defence League, the right wing neo Nazi fascist organisation that attacks Muslims, claiming to be lurking about outside the climate camp with plans to attack.
It would be helpful if the climate camp police liaison team would make an official complaint to the police as well.
Obviously calling the police should always be the last resort but in this case there is a serious risk that the threats and intimidation could end with the violence that has been threatened and tragic consequences.
It is better to be safe than sorry and let's hope that the stalker gets the professional help with his mental problems that he so obviously needs.

Sorry

So sorry to hear you are having these problems.

You are protesting and these men hate you for exercising you democratic rights. Odd that they should be former soldiers though.

Having just tried to bring democracy to Iraq and Afghanistan seems very strange that they don't know what it means at home. The British Army is fundamentally an authoritarian non democratic organisation so it is indeed very foolish to expect army types to understand what it really means.

Then again this guy might just be a loonie.

Well done with the CC though and keep us all up to date. Ignore the trolls, those that matter, support you.

Why on indymedia

Why is this being done on Indymedia and not being brought to the camp process? After all, the camp is now up and running with its own internal processes.

unnecessary


Pathetic

This is pathetic! Can't you wankers sort out your own security without running to the cops? Please get this shit off IM, it's embarrassing.

While I agree with Gud, this being Indymedia comments, it is probably not fair to brush everyone at CC with "Nick Martian"'s attitudes - the fact that he has published here rather than going to the camp process only strenghtens the notion that he is not actually representative. Assuming that this story is actually genuine in the first place.

Why is the Camp using the police when the structure is supposed to show how a autonomous society would be organised, including providing security.

The truth

22.08.2010 13:42

That report is complete rubbish! The truth is that some people suspected of being members of the Scottish Defence League have been refused entry to the climate camp. There were no threats made towards the climate camp on the contrary the other way around. The people who looked like they were from the SDL were told they would be forcibly and violently ejected if they continued to try to enter the camp. The camp appears to have adopted an elitist policy, if they want to spread climate change awareness then they should open the camp to everyone regardless of their other beliefs.
