I hope she pulls through - for the sake of her kids. And maybe learns a lesson about putting herself in dangerous situations. I thought the same thing - ' why the hell was she there?' maybe more will come out about that. she's said some questionable things - although if you change her gender and colour, and the word 'white' for 'black' and go back a few years, she'd probably have a bloody statue erected somewhere by now. regardless - she doesn't deserve this - nobody does for having a strong opinion, however misguided their 'tweets' might be.
some of the posts on social media are just vile. and depressingly, not at all surprising.
some other things to consider...
not all gang members are black. I know the Daily Mail - and those who read it / have it read to them - might say otherwise, but gun / knife / violent gang crime is more often drug related (county lines and the like) than a race issue. it's an ugly truth that people are happy to ignore. look at the demographic of the uk carp angling fraternity. mostly white male - a lot of whom are more than happy to wear their casual 'recreational pastime' as a badge of childish honour - not giving a toss about the background to where their 'gear' comes from.... just saying
the extreme political faction of the BLM movement don't speak for the many millions who support the underlying philosophy of equality and redressing the balance in systemic racism. They don't speak for me in the same way that the IRA didn't speak for many who supported the idea of Irish republicanism. As for the publicity - maybe it suits a pre-existing agenda to throw a spotlight on those divisive aspects of the BLM movement...? global support for the positive message - media scrutiny of the bits that keep the white 'right'? wouldn't be the first time that history was written with a bias would it?
your mate makes a good point. although maybe it's worth considering that black on black violence is often about fighting over the scraps as opposed to the systemic oppression of one race by another.
i'll await the typical no-brain responses and name calling of course. ducks back / water to be honest. Black Lives Matter to me and I don't need the approval of the noisy mob.
1 year (25th May) on from George Floyd's murder and we've still a long way to go.

She’s into politics, as extreme as her views are, I don’t believe she’s part of a gang dispute in SE London. But I do wonder what a mother of young kids from Oxford is doing at a house party in Peckham at 3am with gang bangers..
The community won’t help the police, unfortunately people do often get hit in crossfire because these kids often don’t have the balls to stand toe to toe, or they’d be using a blade.
Cowardly behaviour but deadly for anyone mixing in the wrong circles at parties and clubs in inner cities.
Like my mate says (who is black) it’s about time black people realised Black Lives Matter, because the middle class white Waitrose customers at the rallies can’t do much to change street issues.
Ever wonder why so many deserving causes have gone unnoticed over the years, yet one as divisive in name, aims and actions as BLM gets global media recognition?

Nasty piece of work she is/was.
"White man will never be our equal, but our slave!"
Gang related? Could be interesting.

The people who stuck the cladding on conformed to the legislation at the time.
I have a customer who clad a £250 million project in London around 6 years ago, they are now being paid £5 million to take that off and replace, the cost is covered by the NHBC warranty, there's a lot more to it than what you see on the TV.
Your right about it not falling on the tax payer, the government isn't at fault either it's an industry thing. Trust me some of the things I've seen and heard over the years regards on site standards on multi multi £million projects would make your toes curl.

these guys are brilliant. tenacious and intelligent and with public interest in mind rather than 'contracts for mates' and self serving dodges.
