A RWNJ assasinating a popular liberal mayor?
The price of democracy is getting too high.
It only takes one bad apple to upset the extremist Right Wing / White Supremacist / White Nationalist apple cart!
Oh, jeez, this is bad news, especially with the current RWNJs in charge in Poland.
(Gdansk has a spectacularly beautiful old townâŚ)
Is it worse for the regime to say there are bad people on both sides?
Godspeed Mr. Adamowicz. Scary times.
I hope we can keep our own vastly better-armed crazies tamped down as much as possible until we donât have an instigator-in-chief any more. Seriously concerned.
Itâs never âtooâ highâŚ
There was a nasty incident the other day in London in which RWNJ Brexit backers surrounded a pro-Remain MP and called her âNaziâ and âtraitor.â She was afraid for her life. Other Remainer MPs have gotten death threats and are constantly looking over their shouldersâŚI hope there will be another referendum so that these people get slapped back there. They are really feeling energized worldwide. It would help to have instigator-in-chief marginalized as well. Hugely.
Perhaps poorly worded, but you catch my driftâŚ
When will we hear from the NRA that this crazed knife-wielder would have been stopped if all of Poland was armed?
Apparently guns arenât necessary to accomplish second amendment remedies.
As soon as I read the city (Gdansk, known to me from my boyhood interest in WWII as âDanzigâ), I wondered if or how heâd have been involved in the shipworkersâ activism, which ultimately overthrew Soviet communism and (s)elected a pope. Reasonably people can argue about what part they played, but I donât think anyone would deny that they had at least some hand in it.
Adamowicz was part of the democratic opposition formed in Gdansk under the leadership of Lech Walesa during the 1980s.
Itâs mightily wrong and (stochastically terroristic) for the ruling Polish Right or their supporters to call him a Nazi. Unfortunately, I have nothing much more to add to othersâ comments of condolence, sadness, fear, and concern.
Democracy, the rule of law and liberalism were never very strong in Central and Eastern Europe prior to the end of WWII. Since end of Soviet control of what was the Eastern Bloc, I donât think they blossomed much.
One, Jo Cox, was killed a bit more than a year ago by a RWNJ. Thank you Cameron.
Yes, I remember, tragic. The culprit in that case was a Brexiteer and Nazi sympathizer. funny how Brexit has brought out the Nazi element in BritainâŚreason enough to go with Remain.
& trump in the US butâŚ
