I don't see Robinson as some kind of hero. I meet people every day who get convicted for doing the same dumb shit over and over again. It's not brave, it's stupid.

Re: There are 2018 genders... and a bitch ain't one
Although Robinson has pretty much been a victim of his own buffoonery in this instance, it has to be said that the authorities haven't done themselves any favours by constantly being on his case all the time. When Robinson gets a visit from the police simply for...well, being in a pub, you can understand why people are so ready to believe he's been stitched up today. The spotlight isn't just on Robinson, that's for sure.Bhurzum wrote: ↑ He'll be placed into seg for the duration of his stay and if he has any sense, he'll not make an issue of it.
To be honest, regardless of intent, this is a very, very interesting tactical development. The spotlight has just been switched on and people are paying attention. Popcorn on standby...

Uber is totally pissing me off and the pandering politicians are also pissing me off. These Uber cars are dangerous products in my mind. No question about it.

Autonomous cars are getting a ton of bad press right now because companies like Uber, and even Tesla are to blame. I used to think that people were over reacting when they said they would not trust autonomous cars. I always felt that good engineers would use known safety models to make the products. I was 100% wrong on this. Flash in the pan startup companies are given free reign to "test" their death machines. Fuck.

Re: There are 2018 genders... and a bitch ain't one
Well no. The camera footage Uber provided was from a dashcam and during that particular sequence the dashcam literally had two streetlights pouring into it, so the result was the camera's aperture (or however that works on a digital camera) was vastly restricted so it could take pictures of the two bright point sources, thereby showing the road as pitch dark.
But anyone who has driven that road can tell you, that road is actually very brightly lit, and it's also very wide. The pedestrian didn't just step out, she was crossing walking a bike and hit in the 4th lane after crossing three lanes, so she was there quite a while.
The camera system saw her and did nothing.
The driver was staring at xers phone and didn't see her.
This was entirely Uber's fault, in a partial defense of Uber but really not, the system initiated emergency braking late because it expected the driver to be doing xers job and it otherwise goes off too often and is annoying when drivers are doing xer jobs.

Re: There are 2018 genders... and a bitch ain't one
I think the argument is that had the "driver" had been in a normal car giving a normal amount of due care and attention the collision would have been avoided. The pedestrian was breaking a traffic rule by jaywalking but the driver was also breaking a rule by not paying due care and attention or possibly by operating an unsafe vehicle.comhcinc wrote: ↑free thoughtpolice wrote: ↑ commie wrote:The computer detected the person and the bicycle but because the emergency braking was turned off the car didn't stop.

Think of it this way. If a drunk stumbles out onto the street in front of you and you have the ability to avoid hitting them, you have the responsibility to do so even though the drunk is also in the wrong.

A: was not a crosswalk
B: could have afford getting hit if she wouldn't have kept walking
While it is true she was not in a crosswalk, that's basically for the weaseliest of technical reasons. If you look where she was she almost certainly was in a place where the street designers and landscape architects (for Arizona really truly takes its street design and landscapes seriously) had designed a huge crosswalk, a crosswalk intended to let people get to and from a concert venue from a park across the street as well as from the local beach on the banks of the very expensive, artificial, tourist, Tempe Town Lake.
The weaselly reason she was not in a crosswalk was that after building and designed what was obviously a crosswalk, AZDOT put some very small signs saying "do not cross here".
There was light traffic that night, so the road was mostly empty, it's another 800 feet to get to the crosswalk and then back. My guess is she was crossing when the self-driving car whose driver was not looking at the road drove down the road, the self-driving car mistook her as something it could ignore, then when it decided it had to initiate action, the emergency action was turned off intentionally because they counted on the driver to be looking for these things, and then it braked too late.
So she is crossing slowly, pushing a bike, on a pretty well lit street, and is older, and probably cannot get out of the way of the car which was driving just a hair over the limit.
(that great big huge red x, was clearly designed, architected, and built to be a crosswalk)

And how well known are they vs Tommy Robinson? He may be grandstanding, but he knows how to get attention. Again, I don't agree with all his positions or the way he's conducting himself, but he is getting results. Right now the British government is not looking very good at all.

Re: There are 2018 genders... and a bitch ain't one
There is a chance there was a ban of sorts based on the age of the victims and the risk of identification.
The fact there was no vanilla reporting is disturbing (ie “three men, who cannot be identified, were today ....”).
The fact that reporting of TRs arrest has seemingly been locked down is disturbing.
The fact that grooming rape gangs are, in general, not discussed is a problem.
The fact Kirb thinks all this TR stuff is a happy state of affairs because he hates TR is telling. TR is moth larvae in his cereal of civic nationalism.
The correct response here is:
“whatever the legal rights or wrongs of the arrest, the fact that organised rape gangs are permitted stealth options is appalling. Especially so, when the latitude is based on multiculti fascism. I support TRs actions in principle as the morally right thing to do. In practice he probably should keep his head down”.

Also, what happened to the earlier claim that coverage of the arrest had been banned in the United Calliphate of Great Britistan? Since that was demonstrably horseshit why should we take anything else his supporters are saying seriously?

He's recently been talking about "Grey Areas" too when dealing with free speech issues, something along the lines of 'Areas where speech isn't a crime but is inappropriate' being okay to ban. Nah, fuck him, I just don't trust the bloke.
Murray's a good bloke and so is Raheem but spend too much time in the USA promoting their books and making serious coin, can't blame them but they're never here for the day to day shit the rest of us have to live with.

The Robinsons of the push the state, along with the left wingers which infest academia and the media, into portraying criticism of islam as the province of thuggish knuckledraggers of the 'hurr durr muslamic ray guns' sort. Yes, it's an unfair characterisation, but they get away with it because the Robinsons of the world keep supplying them with good ammunition.ThreeFlangedJavis wrote: ↑They are ineffective because they can be neutralised by accusations of alarmism and being terribly immoderate. the Robinsons of the world push the state into showing their hand.Tigzy wrote: ↑Fri May 25, 2018 1:37 pmJust off the top of my head, there's Douglas Murray, Maajid Nawaz, Anne Marie Waters and Raheem Kassam.Matt Cavanaugh wrote: ↑ Robinson may not be the brightest bulb in the pack.

Now this is not to say that Robinson can't be effective - he can, especially when it comes to mobilising working class support. He's effective in his own way - and has his own set of weaknesses - just as the likes of Murray, Nawaz, Condell (can't believe I missed that fucker!) do. Personally, I think having a diverse array of personalities and styles is a good thing when it comes to confronting islam. But the question was, 'where are all the smarter, more savvy ones?', and as I pointed out, they're out there.

Now this is not to say that Robinson can't be effective - he can, especially when it comes to mobilising working class support. He's effective in his own way - and has his own set of weaknesses - just as the likes of Murray, Nawaz, Condell (can't believe I missed that fucker!) do. Personally, I think having a diverse array of personalities and styles is a good thing when it comes to confronting islam. But the question was, 'where are all the smarter, more savvy ones?', and as I pointed out, they're out there.
Re: There are 2018 genders... and a bitch ain't one
It's a fair point. TR violated the conditions of his suspended sentence and as a result, generated a narrative that he was being stitched up by the British state because of his criticism of islamic grooming gangs. Had the British state been less heavy handed with him in the first place, this might not have happened. As it stands, we live in a world where narratives take precedence over the facts, a situation which the SJW have utilised frequently, and which their opponents are now...appropriating, and quite successfully, it seems. A sorry state of affairs, but here we are.rayshul wrote: ↑ Yep. This shit doesn't make Tommy look bad. It makes the UK look like a bunch of fucking psychopaths. For every one of you reading this going "aw naw that's fine dude should have kept his head down naughty man he hurts feelings" are ten people going, "THIS GUY WAS REPORTING ON CHILD GROOMING GANGS AND GOT PUT AWAY WHAT IS EVEN THE FUCK THIS PLACE IS BROKEN."
If the British government has an ounce of sense and recognises that it's now a war of narratives, it will not allow Robinson to be harmed in prison. I wouldn't bank on it.
Re: There are 2018 genders... and a bitch ain't one
If it's all about marches, then we can give up fighting the SJW cos those fuckers will march at the drop of a pussy hat. And please - the bloke that wrote The Strange Death of Europe isn't rear echelon.
Both marches and books have their value in the war for hearts and minds, and we need that multi-pronged approach if one wants to win both in the fight against islam.

A PR disaster is the most likely outcome. It's a brand new technology so I don't know what regulations there are or even who regulates Uber. Politicians seem perfectly happy to let them test while putting people at risk. Well, maybe not now since the whole story is coming out. This might be forgotten in a month or two and Uber could quietly go back to the same testing somewhere else.free thoughtpolice wrote: ↑Fri May 25, 2018 11:56 amIf they are unable to avoid full responsibility by getting the authorities that allowed them to test it looks to me that they could even face criminal negligence. It looks like something like what happened was inevitable, given the way these tests were set up.Mr. X, Indeed wrote: ↑ So Uber had disabled the emergency braking feature in that fatality a few months ago.

Some of you see a strong proud warrior for Britain, doing good work.
I see a football hooligan- this is totally my prejudice as I have previously acknowledged. However this is going to be a common reaction, and I think his tactics are often those of deliberate aggravation. Plenty will just think he got what's coming to him. That isn't going to unite a country and deal with this.

I don't see that he's violated conditions of his sentence at this point. Let's see what the news (if it ever gets reported).Tigzy wrote: ↑It's a fair point.

The British government thinks more people love Islam than is the reality.

The former, though, is forced to bask in reflected glory.

Nick Griffin of the BNP has been saying it for even longer. Does this make him a strong and proud warrior for Britain too?
Re: There are 2018 genders... and a bitch ain't one
Tommy Robinson dindu nuffin.
Re: There are 2018 genders... and a bitch ain't one
As per the link Kirb posted earlier, Robinson was told that his suspended sentence required that he didn't make an arse of himself and harass defendants in ongoing cases, otherwise he ends up in jail. He went out and did that. The Secret Barrister (@BarristerSecret on twitter) put up a post earlier detailing all the shit Robinson got wrong today - unfortunately, because of the press restriction now in force, he had to take it down. Pity, as it would have been worth going over again.
TBH, it seems more like the British government thinks the people are on the brink of exploding into murderous islamophobia unless they are constantly reminded that islam is a religion of peace and that muslims are an important part of our diverse and multicultural heritage.The British government thinks more people love Islam than is the reality.

Re: There are 2018 genders... and a bitch ain't one
Has to be said, there's a bit of a cult of personality thing sprouting up around Tommy Robinson, ain't there. A growing presumption of infallibility about the man, and not a million miles from how an unwholesome number of lefties see that old grey carrot, Corbyn.
In both cases: he's not the messiah and sometimes he's a very naughty boy. A very naughty absolute boy, even.

There’s no need.

Isn’t that always the risk when creating martyrs? They become a metaphor, shorthand for a deeper problem. A mobilising agent.Tigzy wrote: ↑ Has to be said, there's a bit of a cult of personality thing sprouting up around Tommy Robinson, ain't there.

Oh I assume you read his correction then. But feel free to dismiss (an albeit American) lawyer's POV in favour of your own.
Re: There are 2018 genders... and a bitch ain't one
True, it explains Corbyn's martyrdom. For his acolytes he's become a mataphor, shorthand for a (((deeper problem))). Though more an immobilising agent, to be fair.Brive1987 wrote: ↑Isn’t that always the risk when creating martyrs? They become a metaphor, shorthand for a deeper problem.
