Henry Nowak

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.

Yep as a black woman married to a white nan I’ve seen this happen several times over the years

the police are so scared of being called racist they ignore common sense

I am curious. What was the situation exactly?

May he rest in peace, this is disgusting.

My heart goes out to his family 😪

Why wouldn't it be real? You yourself aknowledge that he had many weapons and was obsessed with them.

People saying oh ok to that feels similar to the headteacher who was told off for profiling the criminal who committed a horrendous crime.

Systemic issues.

Oh don't talk drivel - if anyone here is guilty of 'cognitive bias, cognitive dissonance etc.' it's you.
Quick question for you - how many stabbing victims in the UK over the last 12 months other than Henry Nowak can you name?

Clearly awareness of this particular horrible case is far higher than for most murders in the UK.
And to confirm I'm utterly appalled by Henry Nowak's death and the disgraceful behaviour of the police - I hope those involved on the police side will be bought to justice.

Henry will be remembered in the public mind far more than the vast majority of young UK knife crime victims.

All I'm hearing from you is blah blah blah. Desperate ramblings of a person who can't accept the obvious. Which has been stated many times on this thread.

Quick question for you - how many stabbing victims in the UK can you name, who have been handcuffed by the police whist they lay dying telling the police they couldn't breath, when the police told them they were lying, and the racist murderer looked on?

'And to confirm I'm utterly appalled by Henry Nowak's death and the disgraceful behaviour of the police - I hope those involved on the police side will be bought to justice.'

This is a systemic institutional issue - reverse racism. Do not dare scape goat the individual police involved. Disgusting.

I don’t really want to give details as it ended up in court and was quite public

But it was just one of many incidents where the race card ( I hate that word ) to get better treatment from the police and used as almost get of jail card

I would never ever trust the police as woman and as a black woman as I’ve seen first hand how they react when someone crys racist

And now Tommy Robinson is going to protest outside Southampton Central police station tonight and is asking for company.

That will help the situation, not.

All that will happen is the idiot rent a mob will show up, commit crimes, get fast tracked to prison, and Henry’s death will get forgotten in the fallout.

Sigh. Because X has many fake AI images. Someone once made a fake image of me!
Maybe it's real. I don't know. What's clear is he was a violent man.

Ahhh come on. Given we know he's a weapons obsessed murdering thug I would wager it's real. You just don't want to accept reality. Which is a bit weird isn't it?

It's like you don't want to accept this woman's experience because it doesn't align with your own thoughts and feelings.

You seem to be obsessed with me.
It's quite likely it's him or his brother, but I do not rely on X images until verified.

Most people don't, in this era of AI. You can call that weird. It's fine.

From my experience as a white person in a very white area, I feel like I’m more self aware around a black or minority person, to say the right thing, smile, be friendly and show I’m kind and welcoming or whatever… but when I was younger I just don’t think I’d have thought about it. I’d just be myself, talk and get on. I think MANY people feel like that if they are honest. That’s what the anti-racism rhetoric is doing. Even in this ‘positive’ way it’s causing a divide and us and them. Thats not good.

Jane, you seem confused. Your posts are quite contradictory in some places …

JaneFondue · Today 10:55

Man, you really are obsessed with me @Ipsevenenabibas. 5 messages in the last minute tagging me. I am going to have to go do some paid work now. Hold your horses.

Ipsevenenabibas · Today 10:55

I promise I'm not at all obsessed with you. I would reply in the same manner to any poster with your view. It's really not personal. It's the Internet, I'm engaging on a thread is all.

No, but this is too serious a situation to be taken up by the usual thugs. It needs a proper protest not linked to Robinson.

As a country, we have come such a long way into defeating racism. It is such a shame that it’s been turned on its head

Wishing14 · Today 11:01

@JaneFondueits not intentional, I’m saying it’s increased awareness because of the narrative that has been pushed into people for years now. Do you agree that we should just judge people for their actions and not what ‘minority group’ they are from? Because I agree.

The Sikh community has said that large knives should be outlawed and only small 3 inch blades allowed

Oh so that’s ok by everyone is it? A 3” blade?! WTF?!
I didn’t realise they were allowed to police themselves.

Knives should not be allowed to be carried by anyone.

A 3 inch blade can still kill… a screwdriver can kill

It’s plain to see the real problem when our prime minister who was then the of leader of opposition was on his knees for a black career criminal in a different country yet has still failed to make a statement about Henry. It will happen later today apparently

My friend wrote to KS when her son was heavily drugged, raped and died as a result, in his constituency. She never got a response. The police essentially said it was his own fault because he was gay. She has spent years exposing the police lies and cover up.
The UK police have really lost their way.
Edward Cornes. RIP.
