I feel embarassed watching this
11.11.2012 14:24
Even his mate with the camera was just stood watching, more concerned with taking photographs than helping his friend. Fair play to the lad who finally ran to help him but really.... the antifascists stood watching on the top of the hill and the group to the right should hang their heads in shame for just standing by.
It was just one EDL lad attacking him and they didn't have the balls to go and help?

In fairness, the lad did was taunting the guys so he can hardly claim innocence in not causing the issue in the first place. Bit of common sense please - if you go around jeering anyone - expect the small possibility that people will have an issue with it.
> Feel sick watching this?
Only at the ineptitude of the fighting and how everyone started behaving once the police got there. Clearly it was all just show rather than actually wanting to cause each real damage. It was done for the crowd - like a WCW wrestling match. Fake and all done for image.
> ... the brave lad is getting attacked, one of the fascists is trying to throw him off the wall to the rest yet no Antifascists went to his aid?
He did kind of get himself in the predicament.... there is no helping idiots and there is no good samaritan law in the UK at the end of the day.
> Even his mate with the camera was just stood watching, more concerned with taking photographs than helping his friend.
I think it was a reporter actually.
> Fair play to the lad who finally ran to help him but really.... the antifascists stood watching on the top of the hill and the group to the right should hang their heads in shame for just standing by.
Again, the lad really got himself in the situation by being an idiot. Why should I or anyone put ourselves in danger because of his stupid actions? If he wants to get into a fight - thats his affair. At no point, do I feel obliged to put myself in a danger to rescue an idiot.
> It was just one EDL lad attacking him and they didn't have the balls to go and help?
You misunderstand completely. It isn't "having the balls".... its not wanting to help because, as explained above, why should they? If someone committed suicide by jumping off a ferry into freezing cold waters - would you jump in to try and save them.... no - because you'll probably get yourself killed because on some selfish c***ts action.
> the fascists should not have been allowed to get away with this, if you see a comrade in trouble then the sensible action would be to help them, not stand there like a docile gabbage.
yes
Well, they didn't get away with it. The police were on hand and all the people suddenly stopped hitting each other. So the police actually sorted it out - which is their job and shows why the police are needed (to stop fasc / anti-fasc making fools of themselves ;)
> It's hardly a fight, both sides sat down on a slope slapping each other.
Correct. But it is still illegal.
> Fair play to the anti-fascist lad properly taking the piss out of the EDL but don't hype this up as EDL attacks anti-fascists, they might as well been having a tickling contest.
Its still illegal though. But the lad was an idiot to get himself in that situation. Faults on both sides.
> Either this is searchlight posting this up doing their usual, Nazis are violent super thugs and anti-fascists are all victims, or it's an EDL supporter trying to make out like his sad group of fat old men and small cocked ferrets in a union flag morph suit are some sort of hardcore streetfighters.
Ehh? Or just some idiots jeering and fighting with some other idiots?
> even the police coudn`t be bothered, what a circus act. total joke that nazis can run around and terrorize local people
If you ACTUALLY WATCH THE VIDEO.... the police do get involved and do sort the situation out as everyone immediately does what they are told and the situation is resolved peacefully with no one getting hurt. Compare this to an anarchist worldview where there are no police then this could of been very different with severe injuries or death.

ANTIFA and EDL will obviously NOT be a part of the revolution. (Although they might show up and make a collective western tit of themselves!!!)

No outsiders, not in this revolution.

Why don't you drop that and join us instead? There is nothing you can acheive by standing alone out in the cold.
We do not hate Christianity and we do not hate Islam. For this reason, we cannot be divided by either.

It's just as well, as Dowson is trying to sue you for website libel, you daft Ex-BNP prick.
You did Nick Griffin's work for years, now you are sucking up to Paul Weston like your life depended upon it.
You think you are being clever trying to get your own back on Indymedia with all the bullshit on Indymedia and the half-baked arguments to try to cause as much division between the left as their is in fascist circles.
GET THOSE VIOLINS OUT: - Simon Bennett is a loner who cannot get a girlfriend!
Trolling.

Just because you completely made that up, doesn't mean we have any reason to believe it.

Yeah, one is a violent rage against the Capitalist behemoth which we are all fighting against and the other is a load of reactionary hooligans pointlessly fighting against each for no reason at all...with no hope of ever acheiving anything!
What exactly is your point? Are you posting for some reason or are just in the mood to look like a moron for effect?

EDL clearly cant fight

two of his mates came to help and a little scrap was had. if id have been up there the EDL would have got beat up. in fact, if a proper bunch of anti-fa had been up there, they would have got a proper beating.

Yes, but that is illegal. You'd get arrested and banged up
>> if the lad had put down his beer and guitar he could have done better.
Yes, but it is illegal.
>> but who cares about what EDL trolls say, its the same thing whenever an anti-EDL thread comes up, they send their trolls on here..?
Trying rubbing two brain cells together, maybe it will spark an idea?
>two of his mates came to help and a little scrap was had. if id have been up there the EDL would have got beat up. in fact, if a proper bunch of anti-fa had been up there, they would have got a proper beating.
Yes, but...
1. you weren't there
2. nor we're 'proper' anti-fa
3. nor we're 'proper' edl
4. a proper beating would be illegal
5. a couple of squaddies with semi autos would of took out your proper bunch of 20 anti-fa in seconds without you lot even getting a look in. you wouldn't of stood a chance
this wasn't a battle. And your beating isn't a battle. Trying ducking under a hail of tracer rounds when its so dark you cant see in front of your face and you deaf from the mortar rounds landing 15 feet from you.
> real anti-fa dont back down
yes they do. when they see their buddy's arm blown off be a .50cal round, they run like little rabbits!
