Why aren’t you patrolling our city? This barbarism has to be stomped out. This type of trauma to innocent bystanders is tremendous and does longtime damage to their psyche
I want to see and hear expressions of outrage by the politicians in this country!!
I concur. This idiotic behaviour has become normalised and too many are desensitised by these violent outbursts.
Kim, I offer the following expression of political outrage
“We must stop criminalising young black males. Just because they do not agree with white colonial rule does not mean they should be criminalised”.
I do not meant to criticise, but would such an incident receive the same amount of coverage (not just from Bernews, but all media) had it occurred on Court Street or Angle Street?
Anyone else notice how many people carry a screwdriver in their back pocket?
I prefer my chainsaw.
