Henry Nowak

[rolloverbeethoven]

Heard of him? Probably not, because there seems to be an almost complete news blackout about him. Basically the police handcuffed him and let him bleed out because they thought he may have said something racist - he didn't, it was a lie told by his murderer. Henry was 18.

That looks more than a ‘butter knife’. As claimed in other post.

What a lot of shit. We know Henry never said anything racist, as confirmed by the judge.

The only racism involved in this horrific episode is from Digwa and his family - and the systemic tier 2 policing trying hard not to be seen as racist.

From the judge (my highlighting for the comprehension challenged):

'You [Digwa] then showed a callous disregard for his wellbeing, knowing you had stabbed him to the chest. You continued to make films of Henry suffering, ignoring much of his desperation at having been stabbed. You told him that had not happened, no doubt to convince others who were nearby.

Your attitude did not change even though Henry was clearly going downhill very fast. Your brother did much the same, although he may just have been accepting that which you had told him, rather than lying himself.

You lied to him that you had been attacked, picking up on his question about whether it had been accompanied by racism by falsely claiming that Henry had called you a "Paki.” I am sure that Henry had said nothing racist. You are the only person to make that claim and it is completely at odds with his previous character'

Badenoch is on ITV talking a lot of sense

Has everyone now seen the footage? There is no defending this. This country has lost its way very badly.

BUT we don't know whether he did or didn't racially abuse the killer.

Given that the judge called that "wicked lies" in court, yes we do. We do know the truth, and you've just cast aspersions on the character of an innocent murdered victim.

She usually does. Is Starmer about yet? Telling us he is 'appalled'?

Were all the police at the scene blind then?

Schrödinger's Henry - both so well looking they handcuffed him and dragged him about, and so unwell he'd have died anyway according to their boss.

You have chosen an alarming image. Most Sikhs do not carry sharp and long kirpans round their necks. It's a symbol, only, because the first Sikh guru carried one..Like a cross. It is not meant to be used to attack.

It's quite misplaced to focus on the Sikh community for knife crime, when most knife crime is overwhelmingly carried out by other communities. Banning kirpans will do nothing to reduce knife crime and will be a token move only.

Dickwa was an aberration.

Give him time…

Usually he makes it about the dealing with the far right, and aims that accusation at anyone upset and angry at a teen’s awful death.

I searched for kirpan.

You can see from the image that these were the top results. I didn't even scroll down.

If it is a symbol then there is no problem with carrying a plastic replika that cannot hurt anybody, is there?

It's quite misplaced to focus on the Sikh community for knife crime, when most knife crime is overwhelmingly carried out by other communities.
Agree.

Dickwa was an aberration.
Probably a spoiled mummy's boy. Could do no wrong. His parents must be proud of their delinquent offspring.

“Most Sikhs do not carry sharp and long kirpans round their necks. It's a symbol, only, because the first Sikh guru carried one..Like a cross. It is not meant to be used to attack”

Aah so some do carry sharp ones then? Regardless of Sikhs rarely committing knife crimes, NO ONE should be given the right to wear a blade of any description in the UK, because their religion states they should.
What an absolute mess the UK is in, irreversibly damaged.

I don’t know what you’re learning at Uni but grammar certainly isn’t one of the subjects.

It’s a shame that the Tories have ruined themselves so massively that Kemi will probably never become PM…. And I say that as a lifelong labour voter

I have seen the footage. Really upsetting. It was a completely unprovoked attack.

The family even accused the judge of being racist. They love that word, it serves them well.

Oh give it a rest. It's not complex at all. We can see it all clearly now, for what it is.

Racism from Digwa and family, and institutional Racism against white people, instilled into the police.

Leading to the horrible death of an innocent white man, walking home from uni, who died saying 'I can't breathe' whilst the police cuffed him and told him he was lying, and whilst his murders looked on.

And it's barely on the front page news. And as far as I know the PM so far has said fck all.

I just checked the Guardian and the story is nowhere to be found on either the homepage or even the UK page. There is a buried article from yesterday but apparently not worthy to be a top UK story.

This is appalling and frankly racist bias. The victim of a stabbing and police incompetence is not deemed worthy of being covered because it is a young white British male.

Did you call out the far left when they weaponised the criminal george Flloyd's death?

I noticed that too. Not surprised. They've made me feel sick for a long time but this is beyond that.

The Dickwa family are a disgrace to the entire human race not just the Sikh community.

I am unware of any kirpan related crime committed by a Sikh.

I look forward to Reform reducing knife crime by banning kirpans. It will be a popular 'anti- woke' move which will have zero effect, but be framed as massively brave.

I did post a very sensible piece yesterday about kirpans, but I don't expect anyone has read it.

It's their water and money these days. Such value. Everywhere. And it takes away from genuine cases. Idiotic.

I actually donate to the Guardian to fund journaliem. No more.

It is blatant racism. Henry could have been my son but was not believed because he was white.
