San Antonio officer shot to death during traffic stop

A San Antonio police officer was shot to death during a traffic stop Sunday in what the department's chief described as a targeted killing similar to recent police shootings in Dallas, Texas, and Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

Detective Benjamin Marconi, a 20-year veteran of the department, was shot in his patrol car outside police headquarters, Chief William McManus said Sunday in a news conference. Marconi was 50 years old

It were the liberal movements that freed us Europeans from the Church and fundamentalist Christian ideology ruling us (and they also played a huge part in replacing monarchs and other noblemen from power)

I'd also argue your initial point of the thread, that gay people will not stop until everyone is gay. They simply want to not be treated as sick perversions for having perfectly consensual grown up love relations with each other.

Personally i don't agree with gays & certainly not gay marriage. (thats just my opinion)

Thanks for clearing that up edy.

but surely the liberal views you speak of have become extreme in what we see now?

Will those same self liberal elements play a huge part in replacing the most misogynist and homophobic cult we have let more of into europe?
Or will they simply not just standby, but actually promote, the burgeoning hegemony of the this cult.

ebul gery says he is on the Left.

but this new supposed Left is something people would surely not want to
connect themselves to? this breed have two modes

1) Violent mode
2) Cry Baby mode

This is a new breed that surely people on the Left would want to distance themselves
from? Yes? No?

There's nothing extreme about seeking a society with some social justice and in which people are simply left the fook alone for what they are and what they do as long as they don't hurt anyone.

Methodically liberal movements are certainly not any more extreme than what they used to be. They've actually forgotten how to fight and truly stand up against the forces that cling to a society in which people are privileged or discriminated on the basis of their skin colour, gender, social status of parents or for having consensual love relationships with people of the same sex.

Listen there is nothing new in all this recent stuff, the scapegoat culture has been seen before now whilst I agree that immigration is a concern to many people and we should tackle it in a fair and practical way what I don't agree with is sections of society being picked on and blamed for everything that goes wrong

Actually, there is extreme thing. A very, very small, but incredibly loud, minority is trying to enforce a silly amount of pc and micro-aggression management. A curse of the internet really and that there are some people who only seem to feel alive if they're enraged and insulted by everything.

Kohl, as the very convinced European federalist he is, sharply critisized Merkel for making the decision without the EU partners and said we need to tackle the source of the refugee stream.

that's really what i was trying to say then anxious,

a lot of people on the Left / Liberal views must be getting tarred with
the same brush as like the violence in the US / The Remoaners  / The snowflake
generation.

I can understand fair thinking & treating people well(obviously) but it must be awkward
when you have these violent types fighting your corner

They probably would, yes. Not sure how much there really was to do however. The EU members had long tried to find a common refugee policy, which was constantly blocked. The cursed and highly egoistical Dublin III had already collapsed because Greece had been overwhelmed and let people just travel onwards (as Italy had done for years with african refugees that landed on its shores, but numbers were never overwhelming nor Muslim enough so nobody really cared)

People always make out like it was a huge turn of events when Merkel officially suspended Dublin III in september of last year, but I don't think it made that much of an impact in reality as far as refugees are concerned. For the conception of Germany and Merkel it made a giant deal. What it actually did was that the refugees got to stay in empty housing in economically healthier countries like Germany and Sweden instead of sleeping in tents and stations in Greece and Hungary. They were already on european soil and Dublin III was de facto dead. If you look at the arrival numbers per months, you'll notice that after Merkel's words to suspend Dublin III for syrian refugees there was no significant pull of further refugees that hadn't been on european soil already.

If anything, I think an overlooked aspect is that a reasonably powerful country like Germany finally having to take on some refugees made it get a move on to make the Turkey deal and also increase efforts in africa to reduce flight reasons. Which in the end will reduce the number of arrivals.

Which leads me to Trump and that I hope that he won't sabotage the international climate deal. Otherwise especially we Europeans will be in for a lot of climate refugees rather sooner than later.

This is why immigration is so dangerous. If millions are allowed into Europe and America from countries that are not democratic and of different culture, and then they can vote as one block being able to get into power and change the culture and freedoms that we enjoy in Europe and theUS.
This is the most dangerous aspect of the EU in that it does not allow individual countries to control their own borders.

Do not forget that Germany will soon have a majority of citizens who are neither Christian or German. They will be determined to continue this open door policy. In theory it is never ending unless the central and east European countries say no, that is not our decision and Germany must not dictate terms.

Don't worry, after the UK leaves the EU we'll get all the really faithful Poles and Romanians coming to us to. From already having plenty here, I know they're incredibly hard working and nice people.

Even if they stop coming, it's just ridiculously absurd far-right propaganda that Germany's majority population will not be Christian soon. Unless by non-Christian you mean atheist majority, which would be fabulously awesome but will sadly take some time yet.
