  • You’re making a lot of assumptions. All we know is that in the end he was released, so they didn’t actually have any reason to arrest him. Whatever the issue was with how he sat, there was no basis for arrest, and probably no basis to call the police at all.

    Maybe he did put his dirty shoes on the seat, but the article doesn’t tell us. Nobody does. All we know is that they wanted to arrest him, but couldn’t. Whatever he did wasn’t serious enough for it and yet they tried and held up a train for it.

    It is of course only his side of the story. More info would help. But without more info, there’s no reason not to believe that he was harassed mostly just for being black. It’s not like this is the first time that happened.








  • Not just Trump; the Dutch parliament has just accepted a motion to also declare Antifa a terrorist organization.

    This is a country that was occupied by Nazis 80 years ago. People who fought in the resistance have always been considered heroes. And now they’re declared criminals. These parties are openly siding with the Nazis.

    Mind you, we also had the AFA, Anti-Fascist Action 40 years ago, when they attacked a racist fringe political party with smoke bombs that ended up burning down a hotel, so declaring them terrorist would have made some sort of sense at the time, but they haven’t been heard of for the past 39 years.

    It’s pure political posturing to side with Trump or create an excuse to arrest protesters who disagree with them.


  • Googling stuff online doesn’t make you a programmer either. You still have to learn it, know how to apply what you look up, understand how the computer works. Although it’s easier to learn by yourself, at least partially because there are no lives at stake.

    And doctors look up plenty of stuff too. Only a fool would think they already know everything.
