I just find Merrick's posts to be one sided


This is a refrain for you of late, and again makes me wonder why you think I'd post things that I don't believe in or agree with.

Examples?

No mention of fire extinguisher chucking in your article, is there?


Er, no. Why should there be? It's designed to help the several hundred or so people who occupied the building and the hundreds more who helped them, all but one of which had nothing to do with the fire extinguisher.

I didn't see the discussion over at the Pump until today, so haven't pitched in there.

I think the dropping of the fire extinguisher was an appalling and reprehensible thing to do, hugely disproportionate to the events and it would not have needed a lot of bad luck to have caused a head trauma that killed someone. As such, I condemn it.

But no more so than the batoning of heads by police, which also risks death by head injury, and happened to far more people that day and is much more premeditated, yet gets little criticism.
