So do other extremist groups. Are you suggesting support for extremist groups somehow legitimises them?

Hanging has public support, gay bashing has some support amongst some troglodyte members of the public, the question is how much public support did ER really have. I haven't met anyone who didn't think they were justified.

Queensland government accused of 'fabricating' claims about climate activistsExclusive: Premier claims Extinction Rebellion using ‘sinister tactics’ such as traps, but police have never laid charges with such an offence Queensland justice league accused of 'fabricating' claims about climate activists Fear... It's horrifying. Signing a deal with Adani which imperils the Great Barrier Reef is far more sinister to me than the actions of a few activists.

Boy, 13, hanged himself after finding out his crush had a boyfriendAn inquest heard yesterday that it was unlikely that Harry had intended to kill himself - he was probably hoping to get rescued. Really? How patronising and dismissive of his mental condition. Im more concerned that kids are even thinking about crushes. Fuck sake this is western ideas pamper to the left. Too much sex education in school, too much availability of stuff online etc. It’s shocking. Football, films, games and more not fucking worrying about dating. So sad. A chap at my former school did the same some years ago. Heartbreaking for everyone concerned.

Appeal court upholds protest-free zone outside Marie Stopes abortion clinic in EalingThe exclusion zone was introduced last year over reports women were being harassed and intimidated. Seems like a politically motivated decision that will have repercussions on all being who protest. Great news Correct decision. These women have the right not to be harassed and intimidated by people who don't like abortions.
