International business innit

I believe it was contracted via New Delhi

I was paid from the UK. I had a brand new baby so it wasn't what I wanted to do, made worse by dreadful smog and mostly unpleasant management.

I took one for the team to pull our Indian business through a difficult project

Hob-nob? Chocolate hob-nob? Or fake Aldi ones? Straight to the important issues.

False equivalence.

Again, I was simply highlighting what happened in the full video that was posted, not one intentionally cut to deceive. If you run at people with a machete it's a more nuanced picture than if that had been omitted or hadn't happened. Indeed it's blindingly obvious that's why it was cut from the video, to distort documented footage.

I made it abundantly clear that those filmed should be tried for attempted murder as should happen with all of these violent instances. Thankfully in today's world where people have their phones perpetually out, many horrendous and criminal acts are caught on film. Indeed often people do not even appear to care that they are being recorded.

Whether people are seriously hurt, black or white, during this expanding mess, it's a tragedy. It's both counterproductive and disgusting to burn down your own community and hurt people even if you feel a disconnect from it. Much in the same way I will defend those peacefully protesting too. Plenty of peaceful protestors just standing around have been badly hurt. One white guy lost an eye when a canister was shot into it. A black guy standing around smoking a cigarette was left bleeding after being shot twice at close proximity. A family standing on their porch were shot at. I don't keep a mental tally of the colour of those hurt, nor do I lean on intentionally edited versions of events to shape how they are perceived.

I take your points to an extent, including edited videos.

However, the point that this guy was defending his business and had every right to do so.....to me at least is a strong one.

His mistake was to come out into the open so that he could be quickly surrounded....not that he had a weapon.
