To find floral tributes being left for Harry Vincent offensive

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

Police I imagine will be too scared because they are travellers.

Or because they know this particular family?

Mydoghatesthebath · 11/04/2018 10:29

Down

I am happy that no other vulnerable elderly person can be hurt frightened and robbed.

You might like to try feeling that.

Birds it isn't the same person who has come back to take them down, they are different people. One was white and one was black.

Indeed. Had the reverse happened during whatever went on in that struggle, I wonder what that fine upstanding young man Henry Vincent would have done if he'd killed the homeowner.

Carried on stealing and then hidden in the bisom of his family like his brave mate, I have zero doubt of that!

Actually thinking about it, the false reporting should be very concerning to everyone, because that is what will fuel any unrest.

What do you think has been falsely reported?

turnipfarmers · 11/04/2018 10:38

So was Ian Brady, so was Jimmy Saville - have you left any flowers outside the scene's of their crimes????

No, and why would I? They weren't my son (thank goodness)

Not if it means wanting to give medals to people who stabbed people, no thanks.
I won't take joy in anyones violent death, no matter what they have done. Like a normal person

Mightymucks · 11/04/2018 10:39

What the Mail did do this morning was show the face of the man removing the flowers. So now he’s in danger.

And I have heard rumblings EDL/Millwall types are thinking of going down there en masse.

Honestly, this is ridiculous and it’s just stupid the authorities are refusing to intervene when it’s obviously going to escalate and people are going to get hurt.

Mightymucks · 11/04/2018 10:40

Black guy took them down first.
White guy did it second, black guy did it third

irresponsible fools.

Mightymucks · 11/04/2018 10:42

birds, if someone launched a racist attack against a traveller or a black person and was killed in self defence would you still be saying a shrine was okay?

Or do you just limit it to crimes you approve of?

Mydoghatesthebath · 11/04/2018 10:43

Who mentioned medals? More hysteria there

DownWithThatSortofTing · 11/04/2018 10:47

Someone said tribute. Medals, tributes, same diff.

Not hysteria, but thanks for the patronising misogyny.

He's a vigilante purposefully trying to cause trouble. If hes in danger its his own damn fault.

QuiQuaiQuod · 11/04/2018 10:52

Too maNY posts !

The poor children of this burglar- well, hwe knew jolly well what he was doing was wrong, Id be ashamed if my father did that fro a 'living'.

the family have no remorse for what he did to that poor man. His poor wife whos already confused by her dementia now has to be residing in a complete alien place when she needs the familiarity of her home she knows.
the poor man whos been a model citizen all his life now treated like the scum these fs are.

and why don't the plice lock them up? oh wait. they must be PC. musnt stigmatise a certain group of people.

these b are: intimidating. disability hate crime (thepensioners wife). Ageist. threatening, death threats. Tresspassing. defacing and vandalising.

What the F** are the ploice not seeing that they cant be arrested and jailed? theyre not greiving, theyre nasty people with njo thought for decent people.

The police have said he is acting legally which is why they haven’t intervened. Nobody should ever feel threatened for legal behaviour.

and YY if it was the other way round, this burglar would have prob got 2 years suspended for 36 months (and what the hell is THAT about).

F*** country and its so called 'justice' system.

And why isn't the guy who owns the house with the fence being used not complaining to the police?

Isn't leaving flowers places legal behavior as well? Invalidates all previous arguments somewhat.

DownWithThatSortofTing · 11/04/2018 10:57

It's NOT racist to say that living amongst travellers is hell. It's not racist to say that even our Guards here in Ireland are scared to do anything about them

Actually it is.

CDAlady · 11/04/2018 10:58

There is something wrong with you if you are glad anyone is stabbed to death

Totally agree. This is 21st century Britain not the dark ages.

The man who died was scum and the poor old man who killed him absolutely had the right to kill him in self defence. But to be 'glad' that someone was stabbed to death? Really? Violent deaths are never something to be glad about.

I thought I lived in a civilised society. I am ashamed and embarrassed by some of the things people here are saying.

Mightymucks · 11/04/2018 11:06

The presence of the flowers is creating a threat to public order and a menacing atmosphere for locals. The absence of the flowers is not.

stitchglitched · 11/04/2018 11:08

They aren't just leaving flowers there. They are climbing up on people's fences and tying them to private property as well as all over street signs etc.
