To find floral tributes being left for Harry Vincent offensive

[frankchickens]

This is an attempt to intimidate the innocent family. Flowers should be removed - isn’t it littering?

If anyone broke into my 70 year old dads house tooled up while he were home I would be so angry I would want revenge.

If anyone had mugged my late nan on the way to the shops I would feel the same.

I hate these pieces of shit who prey on the older generation; conmen, burglars, muggers & robbers of any origin, they deserve to be put down.

They are on the same level as nonces & animal abusers in my book.

I'm glad the burglar is dead so he can't threaten & potentially harm any other vulnerable people.

If those flowers were in my street I would get rid of them too.

Btw not a rant about travellers- I didn't know he was a traveller until I read this thread.

I had to leave my legally let council flat with nowhere to go on police advice because they considered it theirs and would do anything to get me out and I was genuinely in danger

Yep same here. They see a council house they want and threaten anyone who goes to view it. My cousin was threatened in front of a housing officer and nothing was done about it, and they got the house they wanted.

I wonder where all these loving family members were all these yrs he'd robbing people and breaking into homes. The same people laying flowers etc probably have a lot to do with why he turned out the way he did.

Race has nothing to do with colour of the skin. Please educate yourselves.

Educate yourself. Irish travellers are not a separate race or ethnic group. Genetically they are Irish. And not Romany.

"Surely many people, including victims of road traffic accidents, die in hospital. But we don't do the put plastic bags of flowers at hospital entrances yet, do we? "

No, often they are put at the scene of the accident, even if the person didn't die there, but in this case, that act is seen as aggressive.

If this thread had have been about any other minority group this thread would have been pulled, even if the truth was being said.

@elendon On what planet is 78 not elderly? Do you understand the term Old Age Pensioner? Maybe you're a bit hard of thinking.

Why does the victims choice of drink matter? I bet you judge rape victims who wear short skirts as well don't you?

The police need to step up and you know, actually police the area and stop the family of the scumbag putting up their displays.

Their intimidation of the true victims and defiance along with the lovely sound bites they've provided to the mail tells us exactly what kind of family they are.

Springnowplease, yes they are. You can say that they are not, but under the law, they are.

I'm working class btw & one of my neighbours committed a burglary.
He was ostracised by everyone & eventually moved.

That's how my community treated burglars, not as heroes like this man's friends & family.

The thing is...if someone broke into their premises i bet they would have done the same! Hypocritical fuckers.

"Their intimidation of the true victims and defiance along with the lovely sound bites they've provided to the mail tells us exactly what kind of family they are."

Oh are we believing the Daily Mail today?

Because some people are lazy apologists for almost any disgraceful cruel and hideous behaviours.

And calling people racist hopes they shut you down. They are the bullies and the hate filled. They are anti democratic and pander to hideous practises and crimes as it’s ‘their customs*

Thankfully this shit like one poster is pulling is becoming a thing of the past.

Is it just me, or has this thread spiralled through a tear in the space/time continuum into another bizarre alternate reality, or has someone slipped some LSD into my cup of tea?

No not just you. I know we disagreed earlier on some things but I can't believe someone called you racist, that's bizarre.

Why must every criticism of the behaviour of a certain ethnic group be met by lazy racist accusations

Nothing lazy about it. RTFT, comments such as "all travellers are this, there is a reason everyone hates them, they are all scumbags".
Thats racist hate speech.

white travellers appear to be of the same ethnicity as the indigenous population of Britain and Ireland

More racism.

@birds 2 people putting up flowers have said they're related to the burglar and have given their names and an interview. Believe it or don't, the photos speak for themselves.

im absolutely fucking sick of the police getting blamed for everything and every ill in society.
www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/apr/08/police-cuts-likely-contributed-to-rise-in-violent-leaked-report-reveals

do something about this!

i wish to god i could tell you all the truth about cuts and numbers and what its meaning.

They do think they are above the law. They being the travellers. This much is true. I deeply sympathise with the couple who were burgled.

Totally agree vicarinatutu

The Police are beginning to look like mugs. This situation is escalating and they're sitting on their hands. This family clearly don't give a shit about the law or who they hurt and it concerns me that they'll start a violent campaign against the whole neighbourhood.

what law have they broken morning????

come on. join us for a shift book a ride along.

but the police are used when other methods break down

should the police not be involved in these circumstances

doubt they will do anything anyway and will probably help them attach the flowers to the fence

People who rabidly defend travellers have probably never had the misfortune of having some pitch up near their homes.

Well I’m pleased he’s dead and his sex, race, nationality or the fact he’s from the ‘travelling community’ is irrelevant to my view. I do fear for the victim though as it seems he will have to go into hiding for doing nothing wrong whatsoever. And why and I ‘pleased’ he’s dead? Simply so he can’t continue to commit heinous crimes against elderly people anymore. One less scumbag is a result. Hopefully his peers are next
