The NI police have just announced this attacker came into NI via the Republic of Ireland.

Watching the video. The police arrived very quickly, subdued and arrested the attacker. The hurly guy hopefully fended off the attacker long enough to give the victim a fighting chance of survival.

At least in this case they arrested the attacker. So perhaps lessons may be learned. As long as they don’t feel the need to take the victims (and family’s) phones to tell for ‘evidence’ of ‘provocation’.

And there is also no need for the anti-trans brigade to hijack every discussion and try to make other people’s personal tragedies about you.

It was a comment on the lack of truthfulness and trustworthiness of the BBC and their clear promotion of a specific agenda. Just like their failure to report the massacre in Iran for two weeks and subsequently acting as a propaganda tool of the IRG.

You're preaching to the choir.
But, Conor? The boxer? What's he done?!

Beat, strangled and raped a woman for several hours so violently she had to go to hospital to have a tampon removed from her cervix.
The police declined to further pursue the case despite the fact that she had very clear bruising and did everything "right" (went to hospital immediately etc). And I think his weasel of a friend lied for him. Also a big racist.
But he's white so Farage is happy to hang out with him

Nothing on the horrific crime then.

I'm more horrified about the casual racism evident in this thread but apart from that, am I required to describe my horror in this specific thread to prove that I'm horrified?

Sorry you thought I was being serious. I was mocking the insanity of judging any one individual by the paramilitary action of their countrymen.

I also have British and Irish passports.

And entirely proving the point, the post pointing out the same ‘facts’ about NI as others are happy to say about brown and black people, got reported/deleted.

It’s amazing that perceived racism is deemed worse than an attempted beheading by a man who was welcomed into the UK on a 5 year visa and responded by gouging out someone’s eyes and trying to cut their head off.

Quite incredible.

He was found liable in a civil rape case, Happyjoe, and subsequently lost an appeal on all grounds

Also convicted of assault: https://www.reuters.com/article/sports/mixed-martial-arts-star-mcgregor-convicted-of-assault-fined-1000-euros-idUSKBN1XB4GZ/

It’s a fair point when we’re discussing the impact of Musk buying twitter.

Maybe - like the Southampton police - you find racist words more horrifying than stabbing and murder?

It was a middle aged man attacked and maybe you should take a moment to consider the privacy of the victim and their family before trying to promote this horrific attack to further your own agenda. Give the victim their dignity.

The children being referred to were involved in a school stabbing today.

You’re more horrified in people being angry at a man being beheaded than you are that a man was beheaded?

And there lies the problem.

Araminta1003 · Yesterday 14:45

Re the Nikita Hand’s case - the burden of proof is lower in some civil claims so it is good that victims are now using the civil courts for this kind of thing. As it should be! She 100 per cent deserves compensation.
In fact, all women should be crowd funding each other for this kind of thing.

Apparently people do feel that way. No crime is as bad. Even this one.

It was never a litmus test of popular opinion. Pre-Musk it had very heavy left-wing moderation. When that moderation went so did many left-wingers who didn’t like hearing alternative opinions. Many went to Blue Sky where they could create block lists that blocked Blue Sky’s moderators….

Oh yes! BlueSky😀
A friend (yes actually was a friend, not me!) met an apparently lovely guy - very eminent medic in fact and a leader in his niche field of medicine - on OLD and was happy chatting into he started ranting that he’d ‘boycotted’ X and moved to BlueSky.
So luckily she was able to dodge the virtual-signalling loser before wasting time on him.

Their activities were not just within tribes.
I could also argue the harm they did went way beyond.

How is pointing out that we have too many violent men in the country going to convince me we should allow more in?

Yes, but it wasn't that it went to trial in a criminal case but there wasn't enough evidence to convict. The police or CPS failed to actually get it to that stage despite the fact there was a lot of evidence as rape cases go (reported immediately, DNA, very obvious assault injuries described as the worst a nurse had ever seen). Civil cases can be great when there isn't enough evidence for a criminal case but that wasn't what happened here. Even the police later apologised for not pursuing the case further. Also whilst all this was going on her family home was firebombed in what might have been an intimidation attack from one of his fans. And her reputation was smeared by him and his fans.

The problem with only caring about crimes or police fuck ups when the criminal is black is that stuff like this is never fixed/properly looked at. It's just an outrage cycle. And the same people who want to protect women and children have no problem hanging out with McGregor. Because they don't see rape as a crime against individual women but a crime against the community and them (when it's an outsider doing it).

SpottyAlpaca · Yesterday 14:52

The ‘suspect’ is Sudanese. He arrived in the U.K. from Ireland & was granted leave to remain.

It’s like the authorities are actively trying to tear thIs country apart and cause mass civil unrest. Britain is already a tinderbox, and I’m genuinely scared as to what will happen unless they get a grip on allowing illegal immigrants & foreign criminals into this country en masse then allowing them to stay.

Could you point me in the right direction for your post about the two girls raped in Hampshire and the shamefully light sentences their attackers received? I can see this post, and that you were active on the Henry Nowak thread, but this seems a strange oversight in your quest for justice.

Oooh I have a stalker 😂

I think it should convince you that Farage and SYL and the people leading the riots and agitating don't care about you. Also McGregor isn't in this country either and shouldn't be allowed in IMO.
