I was trying to explain it, not justify it. However, I do wonder what would attract someone who seems to have no interest in a football club to a forum for said football clubs fans.
There is what is described as CBS Arena P1, and also this opposite Novotel, both off Wilson Lane. Not free but cheaper tha Car Parks A- C and the retail park.
I thinks it’s the fact that SBT is fundamentally a football forum with an off topic thread and apparently Tony never posts on footballing topics. Why even be on a football forum?
It could probably be argued that the best thing the Muslims could have done would have been to stay at home and let the police get on with quelling the riot, rather than turn out with weapons and complicate the situation.
The copper hasn’t been excused, has been suspended and will face the consequences. I‘m not sure what point you are trying to make. The rioters shouldn’t have rioted, theMuslims shouldn’t have taken weapons out on to the streets in retaliato.
I’m not claiming self defence on behalf of the copper, so I’m not having it both ways.
Im not sure if it’s still the case, but there were certainly many cases where presiding judges ruled that the best form of self defence was to run away.
