I thought it wasn’t about race 🤔

I’m just laughing at how pathetic some of the right winged idiots are.

How quickly many of them are turning on Henry Nowak now that they’re seeing most of his social media posts with his friends and family - many of whom are not white or are of different religions.

So many of them have quickly lost their apparent sympathy now they know he can’t used as their racist poster boy.

His family are having to deal with racist abuse on their SM as they’re not all white - but I thought this wasn’t about race?!

Who are you referring to and what exactly have they said?

Lugol · 08/06/2026 17:42

What the fuck are you even on about OP?

hay5689 · 08/06/2026 17:43

I think the thing that’s pathetic about all of this is the tit for tat coming from both sides, you included. Everyone seems to be keeping score and it’s getting ridiculous.

Watdidyousay · 08/06/2026 17:47

Really. Where is this happening?

AfternoonTeaAddict · 08/06/2026 17:47

So- a young man was brutally murdered and apallingly treated by police, and people are trying to mis-use his life to make some sort of point?

How disgraceful. And that includes you, OP, who is apparently laughing about it.

@Jellox “I’m just laughing” - well no one else is. Glad you’ve found some amusement in the situation.

What's this all about?

You’re an absolute disgrace

I'm not laughing but

I was surprised at the far right supporting him, given his surname.

They seem like decent people, his family. RIP HENRY NOWAC.

This is a hideous thread.
An 18year old boy was killed and your comment is “I was surprised at the far right supporting him, given his surname.”
You’re a disgrace.

I dont think i am at all. His surname isnt an English one, which, given that the far right consider themselves indigenous, is at odds with their ways of thinking.

My heart is with his family.

I’m laughing at the right wing idiots who tried to use him as a poster boy and it’s bit them on the ass.

They’ve shown their true colours because one minute they were chanting his name and the next being abusive about him and his family.

The family begged them to not use him to point score and now they realise what about idiots they’ve been and how using him has had the opposite effect of what they desired.

Surely it’s hilarious that undercover racists have been called out.

From day one people were saying about his surname but the far right wouldn’t hear of it.

Now they’re all of a sudden realising (took them a while) and they’re either going quiet or being abusive towards the family.

Who is being abusive to his family?

There’s not an ounce of humour to be had in this whole tragic situation. That you find it acceptable to use a young man’s death to score a political point is abhorrent. Where the fuck is your humanity?

I should say that although his name isnt English, Henry is, and his family.

Those on the far right just want an excuse to riot. Thank Goodness his family are made of decent stuff and rigthtly want justice, but not violence.

Farage has behaved appallingly.

The family have had to take down their SM/ make it private.

Multiple people have had accounts removed.

Basically the far right are angry that they didn’t listen that his family were polish and he has mixed race nephews and friends who are not all white British Christian’s.

The sister in particular has been called awful names and has had people trolling her, saying awful things about what men should do to her.

It was only a couple of weeks ago that these same men were rioting and inciting hatred which apparently had nothing to do with race.

They are embarrassed because they’ve acted like such idiots and instead of staying quiet or apologising, they’re retaliating with anger.

Many things have been taken down now but you can still see some of it if you google it.

These men are absolutely vile.

How am I causing a divide?

These ‘men’ were causing a divide and had people scared for their lives.

They’ve embarrassed themselves and just shows how utterly stupid they are.

What evidence do you have that the people who condemned this murder (which is the vast majority of the country) now have turned their back on him because of social media photos?

Everyone condemned the murder.
Not one person didn’t.

But there were some that tried to use it to push their own vile agenda, even though the family begged them not to and it caused those grieving a lot more stress.

There were also riots were police officers and a dog was attacked, as well as multiple people having bricks etc thrown through their windows.

Some of these men have now been spouting racist views and rapist ideology on the family’s SM pages.

The fact that these vile men have completely changed their views just shows how pathetic they are.

A bit like when they claim it’s to ‘protect out women and children’.

Your heart isn’t with his family - if it was you wouldn’t be making cheap points like this about whether Henry’s surname is English or not.

Yes it is.

I dont think that being disgusted by those choosing to riot over a young man's death is making cheap points.

Can’t you see the hypocrisy that you have created your own thread about this tragedy to score political points?
