BLM UK Closes Airport runway - States Climate Change is Racist

Link

Flights at London City Airport were disrupted after protesters gained access to the runway.

The Met Police said it was called to the site at about 05:40 BST after nine protesters erected a tripod and "locked themselves together" on the runway.

The Black Lives Matter UK movement confirmed it was responsible for the protest.

City Airport tweeted that the runway had reopened at lunchtime and flights were resuming.

It advised travellers via Twitter to check with their airlines for the latest flight information.

All nine protesters were removed and arrested. The airport said inbound flights had been diverted.

Should've let the planes hit them. Though cleaning out the engines would be messy.

Nah, those motors would pink mist those dipshits in a heartbeat, even their inconsiderate bones.

That seems a bit too gruesome, don't you think?

For the engines or the runway?

Whats a more useless movement, BLM or Feminism ?

Can it be both, since they are indoctrinated to the cult of Atheist Plus?

sure it can be both

Well I hope they never have to fly anywhere then...

Those inconsiderate fuckers

Dont jump into the fire hoping not to sweat, and dont jump in the water thinking you wont get wet...........

I was going to say bowel movement but that actually serves a useful purpose.

A BLM chapter should try to close a runway in a United States airport, that would be fun.

Oh boy, I take a peak inside OT and see this thread.

I quickly remind myself why I never visit this cesspool.

Funny all you have done for some time now is "peaking inside OT" and being reminded it is a "cesspool", yet you keep visiting. Maybe you are just attracted to cesspools.

More like someone got triggered like Steve Shives ;)

@darklight4: theyre both bowel movements. And I thought BLM in Toronto was worst

Looks like BLM UK doesn't have a clue what it's fighting for. BLM is a problem specific to the US, because of the large amount of shootings against African-Americans that go unpunished. Incidents like that rarely ever happen in the UK, because guns are outlawed and even the police don't have guns (except for extreme cases like terrorism). BLM should've remained in the US.

Blm is a joke in any case.

People are upset over a convicted child rapist, women beating, violent multiple felon waving a gun around at others like alton sterling or a strongarm robber that shook around a 5 foot tall immigrant trying to make a living before assaulting a cop like mike brown or the 5th guy killed in one day in Milwaukee and will riot in the streets over them but have nothing to say about role models like Corey Gabay, John Wayne Whitmore, Kaylin Pryor or any of the 30 kids under the age of 10 shot so far in Chicago this year. Role models and children lives don't matter because they didn't get killed by the right people but guys that would stomp the timberland logo into your skull for the change in your pocket are elevated to hero status because they got killed by the right people during the commission of a crime. There are probably 1 or 2 legit cop murders per year out of 4 million interactions that occur between cops and the citizenry and if you think you are going to get that infinitesimal number down you are fooling yourself. Now add in the homicide surge across nearly every blm entrenched city in the country and you see all we have gotten out of blm is a giant pile of additional dead black kids. Good going.

Thats not entirely accurate. Guns aren't outlawed in the UK, they just have stricter laws than in the US. You can't buy handguns but you can get a rifle or a shotgun if you have a licence.

There's around 6000 police officers authorised to use firearms, so while the vast majority don't have guns, it not quite as limited as you make it sound.

The main difference between America and the UK is in the UK they don't give every idiot and his mum a gun, and they aren't treated as a trivial matter.

The issue is not the levels of crime or homicides or shootings, but which murders go punished and which murders go unpunished. And disproportionately, shootings that involve African-American victims go unpunished. It's an issue concerning the criminal justice system.

I live in the UK. In theory, guns aren't completely illegal. But in practice, they pretty much are. Where I live, you just don't see guns anywhere, on the streets or in homes. Guns are extremely rare around here.

It's only in the last decade (ever since 7/7) that there have started to be more armed officers. But usually, they're only reserved for rare cases involving national security (such as terrorism), or criminals armed with guns. Otherwise, it's very rare to see armed officers on the streets.

The biggest difference is that the UK just doesn't have a gun culture like the US does. Guns are so widespread in the US (where there are more guns than people) that it makes it almost impossible to legislate gun control there.

I live in the UK as well. There's a few people around where I live that own guns, but I live in a rural area. So while guns are rare (especially if you live in a city) they are far from illegal. Their rarity isn't directly linked to gun laws either, back when the laws were less strict gun ownership still wasn't that high.

Your last paragraph says pretty much what I was getting at. Guns here are seen as a tool that serve specific functions and should only need to be handled by the proper people who require those functions. They are not a trivial matter. In America officers killing people is seen as part of the job. Every idiot owns a gun due to some twisted sense of liberty, and all debate on guns just seem so childish with few people arguing from a rational position but instead focusing on idealism.

Fair enough. There are differences between urban and rural areas, after all (as Brexit showed). Urban areas are where most of the crimes happen, so it makes sense they'd be stricter on guns in cities, compared to rural areas.

That's why it was so easy to implement stricter gun control laws after the Dunblane shooting, since guns were already rare enough even before those stricter gun legislation laws. The whole gun culture thing is very much a US thing, with their Second Amendment laws and all.

The BLM movement wants cops to be roasted the day after they do something they perceive to be bad without passing through the judicial system. Their aim is throwing the last couple hundred years of justice system advancements in the bin and elevate themselves as judge and jury and rule as a mob.

Pretty wording about "crimes that go unpunished" cannot cover the baseless stupidity of the movement.

On topic, it doesn't surprise me that it's a branch of BLM that did this. Their arguments are just as nonsensical and shortsighted as the US version of them.

-

The urban areas around airports, power plants, and "the busiest roads in the west" (which I will address as "place of interest" or "poi" from now on) are built after them, because these places of interest provide huge possibilities for local businesses in the surrounding areas to grow, as they provide a mean to do a high volume of commerce, similar to how rivers and ports were before the industrial revolutions.

Notice how it's "urban areas around places of interest" - even the wording itself implies the order in which things happened. They didn't flatten a district in a poor area to make a poi - the urban area was built after the poi.

-

These people whining about air pollution are just plain embarassing. If the pois weren't built, these poor urban areas wouldn't exist in the first place. And if the pois were shut down, the interest in the area from businesses would die down and they'd have to leave their homes because there would be half as many jobs available in their local area.

I'll go ahead and assume not one of the people who contributed to making this video, or commissioning it, have a college education in a subject that isn't worthless.

@FireEmblem_Man: This counts. =3

@Jag85: do you even know the number of blacks killed by police vs whites?

In a way, I'm glad the movement did start in the UK because it more proof that BLM is more concerned about getting attention then actually working toward a solution.

Just as you have said, the UK doesn't have an large problem with the police and violence against it's citizens, so what's the point of protest where there is no problem? It's just unnecessary attention that's doing more harm then good to it's SUPPOSED cause.

BLM is just exploiting the racial aspect of the whole situation because if they where really concerned, they would give equal attention to the self inflicted violence in some of the African-American communities.

It's a fact that there have been innocent victims of police brutality and those officers should be punished, but I don't like the fact that BLM is protesting when a thug gets killed, I'm mean it's unfortunate, but that's the chance you take when you are committing a crime.

It made me laugh because every protestor was white and people were doing interviews with all the black folks trying to get onto planes that got screwed over with this nonsense.

Also, thanks blm for yet another peace rally that ended in 5 shot and one dead in Birmingham AL yesterday.
