Remember when a white man went on a stabbing spree in Hainault in April and killed a young black boy?

Or when a white man walked round Plymouth with a shotgun and killed 5 (including a 3yo girl). Where were the "protests" then? Stony silence from this lot.

Or the (white) thug that barged into poor Olivia's home chasing his rival and shot her dead.

What we are seeing has less to do with poverty and everything to do with full on racism. All this sociological analysis of poverty/feeling left behind is a cover for their down right racism. You could each of them a million pounds and they would still have HATE in their heart for ‘foreigners’ born here or from boats.

@Persiancouscous surely the only way you can say with certainty that that was his motive would be if you're involved in the investigation, in which case you're now risking any future court proceedings...

the hooligans, yobs, whatever you call them are orchestrated by EDL

Absolutely right.
This is racist thugs overjoyed at having the chance to be violent and claim some sort of justification. The same people claim their love of football compels them to beat the shit out of each other.

They won't be happy until they've lynched at least a dozen brown people.

Yes, perfectly normal for a 17 year old to just wander into a swiftie 2 hour event aimed at primary school children... I suppose if a 17 year old white boy walked into a cultural event and went on a stabbing spree, it wouldn't be seen as racist at all 🤔

@Persiancouscous has been at it all day. He/she has a very clear agenda.

I dont spend much time on mn but you obviously do. But you do mean, you can't be bothered to discuss any of my points but come to some sort of conclusion. Not everyone who is white, agrees there is a two tier system, some of us that see this system and social problem are mixed heritage... think Iran 1970s and family being made to leave because of the Islamic revolution.

@Persiancouscous Do you identify as racist? I’ve only come across a handful of people who will admit to it. Would you say you are?

Please stop trying to promote the idea that the Southport murders were racially motivated. You have no evidence to support this, and you are just trying to whip up hate.

I have seen a lot of your posts on here in the last couple of days. They are all similar in nature. You, and people like you, are the problem here. You should hang your head in shame.

I have reported your post and I hope that MNHQ will review your recent activity on these boards with a view to permanently banning you.

Until we know more, no-one here knows why he chose the Taylor Swift event and certainly there is no info so far (unless you would like to provide a link?) that suggests he did so in order to target white girls specifically.

DancefloorAcrobatics · 05/08/2024 00:12

No-one is protesting. Some people are using it as an excuse to have a riot

This ^ 100%
Just some bored thugs testing the new governments response to their radical views.

Poverty is not the 'cover' for this, it is one of the main causes.

You have absolutely zero evidence that the girls were targeted for their skills colour, so how can you make a statement like that as if you are aware of the full details of the case. Fake news and lies is part of what’s led to the targeting of mosques. We have limited information so stop spreading rumours.

There is no evidence that the Southport trajedy was racially motivated. The killer just happens to be black as Lucy Letby happens to be white.

It's the far right thugs that are equating race to motivation. Would it be "okay" then, if all the children killed were black?

Please explain what you mean.

You mean the Brazilian immigrant who has been charged with the Hainault stabbing? Marcus Monzo? Who also stabbed two ‘white’ people?

So you forgot to mention the white man in Plymouth who shot and killed 5? This is the problem with racists they can’t see their own bias and ignore heinous acts committed by people just because they have the same skin tone as them, so disgusting.

I’m brown and genuinely scared to go out and about. The trouble with these things is that anyone who wants to be racist will now feel that they can openly.

I feel the same. I'm brown with an accent (N. American) and also an immigrant. I have mixed race children and am mixed race myself. I have never been afraid of living in the UK. I am now. Having serious talks with H about potentially moving out.

I have never been more grateful that my children can pass as full white. How fucking horrendous is that? The fact that I'm even thinking in those terms now.

I genuinely believe that these events and the way they are being handled will give people who are racist permission to act more aggressively.

It's so fucking scary.

I totally agree OP, but then we all know it's got nothing to do with those little girls in reality, it's mindless thuggery and an excuse to be openly racist and criminal.

I wonder how many people who they claim to be 'fighting for' to 'get their country back' have been injured, have had their property damaged, have had their cars damaged or totally destroyed, have lost money from losing work because businesses shut or will be shut because of damage that needs repairing. That's not fighting for anyone or anything, except for the sake of it, and in the case of the riots local to me, I highly suspect pissed and coked up idiots playing the hard man.

But someone will say they're poor and disenfranchised - so are most people at the moment because of the state of the country and the world, but they manage to not destroy what they claim to be seeking to 'protect'.

As a local woman commented to a reporter, I doubt any of them there today could even name those girls.

I said it on another thread but never mind the locals having to clear up the mess, all those arrested need to be taken out there and made to clean up their own bloody mess and pay for the damage they've caused.

Persiancouscous · 04/08/2024 23:52

No one protested when the soldier was recently stabbed in the back 🤔... I don't understand your point.

After many riots and protests from blm/ pro Palestine, Manchester/ Rochdale. Why are these bothering you?

Today in Bolton with 200 Asian men running around screaming God is great has been enriching 😂

riotdiscussion · 04/08/2024 23:48

Definitely wasn't "stony silence" when Olivia Pratt-Korbel was murdered in her own home. That is a false comparison OP. Also, the Hainault killer was a Brazilian immigrant from memory. They are all appalling murders OP, there were public outcries after all the murder you mention.

@LeFromage
I started a thread asking that question. One person responded that the King doesn't get involved in day to day shit. Someone else said it's trivial.

Trivial? This is the very essence of the monarch’s job - national unity! Sorry I missed the thread - looks like I would have agreed with you. The King has plenty of time to lobby government about his vision for architecture, environmentalism etc with the black spider letters the press revealed before he was crowned - there was always concern he was too politically active. This reaction by certain groups in society is also down to the police and our security services only ever viewing radicalisation as a problem for brown people. Where’s the encouragement and responsibility being put on to white people (I am one) to start reporting those they know have extreme racist views like the campaigns that were run for Muslims ? It’s been stoked by the Conservatives relentlessly for votes and the timing of this is a reaction to the election.
