And here's another poster/graphic.

Leeds ABC


Is this really helpful?

10.10.2011 18:43

Do Leeds ABC really believe that the best way of supporting people accused of conspiring to commit violence is a graphic showing a group of people giving a man on the ground a kicking? Isn't one of the reasons for supporting these people there was no conspiracy and there for they should not be in prison? Have they changed their mind on this and now want to celebrate kicking people on the floor? Or is Leeds ABC acting independently of the defendants?

The prisoners are either guilty of conspiring to commit violent disorder and should be asking for support on these grounds or are not guilty and have been fitted up and support should be given on these grounds. Leaflets that show peoples heads been kicked in and then ask for support of people who did not commit a conspiracy can only drive away support and probably help the state. I presume that Leeds ABC do not mean to do the states work for them and provide evidence for the police in future trials so what do they really think is gained by this graphic?

Puzzled


Puzzled - another cop trolling

The way you cops have trolled these threads since the acquittals, you must be really hurting!

The image I'm looking at shows a young man or woman joyfully giving a nazi bonehead what he fucking deserves.

Our comrades in jail weren't charged with or convicted of assault because you couldn't put a German neo-nazi in the box. So instead you fitted them up on a bogus conspiracy charge.

They'll do their time as proud antifascists. Why don't you fuck off and read Police Review or stick an orange in your gob and hang yourself from the doorframe?

Puzzled? Or just thick

10.10.2011 21:16

Read the leaflet thicko! Sean C never denied punching the nazi but that doesn't mean he was guilty of assault n he wasn't charged with it. There wasn't the evidence either to charge him with violent disorder. So the pigs made up a snide conspiracy charge. And for that they had to rope in more people. So they got Sean n some other lads because they had witnesses lie n used a lot of dirty tricks. But they went to jail with their heads up. They'll be well looked after n they'll be heroes when they get out.

Blatant trolling

I have rarely seen such blatant trolling as there's been on the various antifascist threads since the acquittals in the second Welling trial. It makes you wonder if it's not Mark Trafford himself doing it!

BTW boys, don't think that pic will be much use in any future prosecutions - it's 20 years old, a well-known AFA/Antifa pic, and taken in Germany!

Antifascist


Way off

Apart from the other crap in your post 'puzzled', your description of the poster/image is so inaccurate and misleading, no wonder people think you're a cop. Leeds ABC are clearly doing something right for you to smear them in the way you do.

Hardly a "puzzle" - you're very obviously a cop

11.10.2011 11:23

Going on the contents of your post “Puzzled”, as well as other troll comments on this thread (now removed) and others, I’d say it’s fairly obvious that you’re a cop, and a cop doing what cops do on Indymedia. Like most cop trolls you fail to see the difference between Anarchists and the liberal left, and between militant antifascists and the cringing alternative exemplified by the UAF. It’s good that Indymedia readers seem to have seen straight through you, but just in case anyone gives any credence to your specious ‘argument’:

1) Leeds ABC are not, as you say, “supporting people accused of conspiring to commit violence”. Both trials are over, there are no more “accused”. A summary of the case is given in the PDF leaflet above.

2) Your interpretation of the graphic used in the poster above as “a group of people giving a man on the ground a kicking” is at odds with reality. The image shows a fascist skinhead having the table’s turned on him by a smaller, but braver opponent, someone who, like our imprisoned comrades, was prepared to go out onto the streets to risk their safety and liberty to oppose organised fascism. Because the graphic is a metaphor for the struggle against fascism, it has become one of the stock images of the antifascist struggle and is used on posters, stickers, and T-shirts across Europe, much like the famous ‘Good Night White Pride’ one.

3) None of our comrades have ever shied away from being militant antifascists, and Sean Cregan never denied striking a neo-Nazi. The conspiracy however, was an invention of the State, a contraption for misleading the jury and jailing good antifascists when there would otherwise have been no case against them.

4) I doubt that there is any support to be garnered from idiot liberals who would give one moment’s consideration to the drivel in your post. Our comrades are nonetheless well supported by people who, unlike the police, oppose fascism and realise what opposing it actually means.

5) Our comrades were tried and convicted on fuck all evidence. Anyone who thinks that a well-used decades-old photograph from a foreign country might be of use to the police in terms of any future prosecutions is quite simply a fucking idiot. Since you are a cop – scum – and would clearly reduce the historic antifascist battles of Cable Street and Lewisham to ‘groups of people kicking others heads in’, you can keep your advice and idiotic ‘analysis’.

During both trials, we witnessed a struggle between people of integrity and courage on one side and a bunch of fascist-apologists and liars on the other. One group stood by their principles, the other group never had any principles to begin with. Because of personal malice and conceit, having failed to fit up everyone in the case, the hirelings of the State are now reduced to trolling Indymedia to try and undermine support for those they fitted-up and for the Anarchist Black Cross. No doubt there’ll be other battles, no doubt other casualties, but our people will always behave with a courage and with a dignity you cannot even understand, and they will always be supported. So until the next time, go fucking suck it Trafford, Blackburn, Blacksell, and all your scummy underlings. Our day will come.
