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.

I can’t see it either and I searched for several minutes.

@dumptii hope his poor mother doesn’t read your comments

Allowing any young men to carry weapons whilst their brains are still developing is beyond madness

He had no idea he had been banned from events by the Sikh community and no idea about how many weapons his son owned? Aye.

Ok. As I said, I look forward to the rapid decrease in knife crime when kirpans are banned.
Digwa had a vast collection of weapons and would have carried one, Sikh or not.

Down at the bottom item 5 of 'most read news'

You've not watched the video. It's light. There's no excuses.

I don't want to watch the footage again but he was wearing a white/light coloured top under a dark jacket. There was a small splodge of something near the bottom hem of his top at the back. It was clearly visible and could have been blood.

One teenager murdered is one too many. If it stops any hot headed Sikh in the future plunging their blade into an unarmed teenager I’m all for it.

Sorry other than your imagination can you substantiate this claim of yours?

On the front page here on Sky News, however

He'd also been stabbed in the face. More crucially, he TOLD them he'd been stabbed.

"I don't think so mate".

Digba was believed, Henry was not, despite Digba standing there well and healthy while Henry was on the ground.

And on the front page here, the only 2 I found it front page first news item

https://www.dailymail.com/home/index.html

Yes. The Guardian reports that Nicholas Lobbenberg, the prosecutor, says Digwa had a 'vast number of weapons' and a ' weapons obsession'.

You are not going to stop men like this by banning kirpans. You can try, but they will simply get another weapon.

Not difficult to find.

Exactly.

'was not believed because he was white'

And the family were believed, without question, because they were not white.

I agree he had lots of weapons. But if the law stated that as a sikh he wasn't exempt from carrying a weapon he perhaps wouldn't have had the confidence to walk around carrying one. Your claim is nothing more than a figment of your imagination and it sickens me that you defending this.

The prosecuting KC spoke about it.

I place the defenders on the same level as the Digwa family…

I’ve just been modded for a respectful comment about being amazed if Reform don’t win Makerfield on the basis of events in Southampton and Pat McFadden’s one liner about who to tax next to pay more benefits. Removed. Their bias is appalling.

They’re clearly referring to the fact it isn’t headline news on that site, and you have to actively look for it.
The polar opposite of how it would be if it was
“18 year old Sikh university student on way home from football team celebrations stabbed to death in street by 23 year old White Man and then handcuffed and dragged by police while he bled to death”.

Oh dear, the apologists are embarrassing themselves again. It's in crime. It's nowhere near the front page; where it should be. For obvious reasons. And you know (though wouldn't admit it to yourself due to cognitive bias, cognitive dissonance etc) that had this case been in reverse, it'd be front and centre.

‘I don’t think so mate’. Why defend this?

Do you really?
Gosh.
You think because I don't think kirpans should be banned, I advocate the use of 21-cm knives- not kirpans and not required by religion- to murder innocent men and their subsequent concealment?

Ok. I can't help you there.

Not surprised
