Home service ni oooo

edoairways:
same with you and your household

After looting,the killing will come....next time take the argument and not the person.... children on Nairaland

LordShiva97:
So there's no other way to protest without looting innocent people's businesses and means of livelihood?

They have been protesting,bruv..but this particular murder is sooooo annoying...the guy even at the point of death was loyal.

LordShiva97:
So condemning looting is now tantamount to being with murder?

Didn't you offer logic in year one in University?

LordShiva97:
No one is talking about stopping the protests, they have the right to protest if they feel aggrieved. But looting can't be condoned in the name of protests, the looting part is what I have a problem with. The owners of those looted stores are fellow citizens like them, the stores aren't owned by the cops that killed the deceased George Floyd.


And talking about getting the goverment's attention, their plans seems to be working. You might want to check out Trump's tweet about the looting that was censored by Twitter.

When looting happened in Lagos as a reprisal attack against South African investments in Nigeria,I was thoroughly against it....and it was done after several attacks on Nigerians in SA. After wards, even the SA realised their mistake.
But,this murder has been ongoing for years and you expect every to be cool with Government's intended ignorance?.... Anything to attract justice after long-term suffering is ok.

LordShiva97:
Looting and pillaging innocent people's shops and stores has nothing to do with protesting police brutality. Maybe you'd be kind enough to explain to me how looting in the name of protests will help minimize police brutality. You can't justify these barbaric acts on the ground of brutality. Police brutality should be protested against and condemned in the strongest possible terms, yes, but the criminal acts carried out under the giuse of these protests shouldn't be condoned in any way.

Hello,you can fell cool and all whatnots about being right,but am not cool with murder....and whatever it takes to get Justice is ok.

fortran12:
The point is 2 wrongs dont make it right

Which if the wrongs the first murder or the second or the third or the fourth... just one time looting by a fedup black community and you are defending cooperate murder from your keypads I NIGERIA.

chewwie:
Anyone against stealing and destruction of public/private properties?

... Emphatically yes.

edoairways:
Don't worry someone will loot your properties then you would understand better

Don't worry,someone will kill you afyer killing your siblings then you'd understand better.

Sorry bruv, you can't stop these protests. If that's the case only way to get the government's attention after several years of murder,then it's cool by me.
If you diadisag with me,it's not my problem.

Can I plant ogbono at home?

fortran12:
what of the killings done by black against black people, is that one ok too, there is ussually no mass protests like this.That same weekend, 10 blacks were killed by fellow blacks in Chicago and 35 people shot, do their lives not matter too? Your brothers kill themselves more than the police do. The police killing was bad, but it does not justify looting other people's businesses who are not connected to the killing

Finally, two wrongs now make it right innit?

scantee:
LOL are saying those news aren't credible or what?

They aren't all credible,ssecondly Nairaland is an arena of TRIBALISTIC JOURNALISM.

fortran12:
Its not the cost of the item, its the act, its called stealing and its wrong. The people whose shops were vandalised who will pay them? the shop owners did not commit any crime. When it comes to protests alot of these ppl give black americans a bad name

How long will a helpless set of people endure the CONTINUOS killing of their brothers Tell me Mr. Right...how long should the killing continue before an action is taken to prove gross displeasure.

fortran12:
2 wrongs cant make it right

Just maybe you are an indomie generation, this is the upteenth time a black is being unjustifiably murdered or are you insinuating killing isn't painful u til it happens to your family member?

uchmannn:
Always in imo state!

Only on Nairaland.

Farki:
Imo state again.

Abeg I'm tired of this kind of family killing news.

Only on Nairaland. Conspiracy.

McAustin92:
Why always Imo state

Only on Nairaland.

scantee:
Seriously Ndi Imo State kedu ihe na emezi? You guys are fasting becoming Ogun State of South East with bad news report on daily basis..

I doubt these guys are twins because i can't see how a blood related human have such mind to cut his own blood to such level.

God have mercy.

Only Nairaland.

ugbarreta:
Haba! Imo state has been on the news lately for all the bad reason...God help us oh.

Only on Nairaland.

Bighead9:
Igbo Amaka.

There has never been an hour without a news of someone who killed a close blood relative in the EAst. Only God know what Biafra will look like when the North finaly give them their independence.

Story is false...

starbuck:
Recently, Imo State has been in the bad limelight

As if that is the only place crime happens.

Eulalia:
What a gory sight. ..

How did he manage to do this to him without the brother putting up any form of resistance?

Cutlass was involved,bruv.

edoairways:
That doesn't warrant looting.

SometimS,the reason why I think Nairaland shouldn't be a faceless forum is because one needs to ensure he or she isn't arguing with a child or a non-deep thinking fellow.
I rest my case bruv,let the looting, killing and all vices continue.
A bottle of wine has become more valuable than human life.

edoairways:
Those blacks are disgrace to human race. They couldn't protest without looting

....and what d'you call the constant murder of blacks over the years without a reasonable government intervention?

gofigurena:
Why do we even think these people are better human beings than Africans? Saner climes, we call them. Well, this just isn't right. Anyway, CF $100 bill for sale.

How MUCH?

LordShiva97:
I don't understand, anyone who's rightly against stealing and mindless looting in the name of protests is hypocritical, How!?

...Do you understand what it means to loose a member of your family and the government isn't going to press charges?

Kayzy1:

Do you know the US government is not holding any charges against the cops that murdered Floyd?

A white woman who called the police after a black man asked her to put her dog on a leash in New York City's Central Park has been fired from her job with an investment firm.

Franklin Templeton announced on Twitter on Tuesday it had sacked an employee, "effective immediately".

"We do not tolerate racism of any kind at Franklin Templeton," the tweet said.

Christian Cooper, a bird watcher, asked the woman to leash her dog because he feared it could endanger wildlife.

Mr Cooper and the woman, identified as Amy Cooper (no relation) were in a part of Central Park called the Ramble, a popular area for bird watchers where dogs must be leashed at all times, according to the rules.

Mr Cooper said their exchange began when he noticed Ms Cooper's dog "tearing through the plantings" in the area.

"Ma'am, dogs in the Ramble have to be on the leash at all times. The sign is right there," Mr Cooper said he told her, but she refused to restrain her dog.

When he began filming, Ms Cooper told him she would phone police and tell them "there's an African-American man threatening my life".

She then called the emergency operator and repeated, "He's African-American", before pleading for them to send an officer.

A video filmed by Mr Cooper and posted on social media went viral on Monday, drawing tens of millions of views and prompting discussions about the high number of killings of black men by police in the US.

Oh, when Karens take a walk with their dogs off leash in the famous Bramble in NY’s Central Park, where it is clearly posted on signs that dogs MUST be leashed at all times, and someone like my brother (an avid birder) politely asks her to put her dog on the leash. pic.twitter.com/3YnzuATsDm

Ms Cooper later apologised, saying she had "overreacted". "I sincerely and humbly apologise to everyone, especially to that man, his family," she told NBC News.

Ms Cooper also faced accusations of animal cruelty, after she appeared to choke the animal with its leash while restraining it to call the police. After the video went viral she returned the dog to a shelter.

"The dog is now in our rescue's care and he is safe and in good health," the organisation wrote on Facebook.

Her now-deleted LinkedIn and Instagram profiles suggested she might be Canadian.


Franklin Templeton initially suspended Ms Cooper while it investigated the incident, before announcing her sacking.

Speaking to NBC News, Mr Cooper raised the recent high-profile shooting of Ahmaud Arbery, a 25-year-old black man who was out jogging when he was killed by two white men in February.

"We live in an age of Ahmaud Arbery, where black men are gunned down because of assumptions people make about black men, black people, and I'm just not going to participate in that," he said.
