Birmingham attack gone quiet ?!

[AlwaysHopefull89]

correct me if I have missed anything here on this… but has the news gone quiet on the woman who was attacked unprovoked in Birmingham? Do we know who done it?!

I was reading about that earlier, it's just appalling. According to this article

Birmingham attacks

a stun gun was recently used in an attack on a woman. It's horrific.

It's Bimingham, so terrifyingly nihilistic gang initiation is also a possibility. I'm really familiar with this part of Bimingham so the fact that it happened right by the shops and the station at such a busy time of the evening is just disturbing. The fact that she was stabbed in the neck. It feels like there are so many criminals now where nothing is too low or too extreme. It wasn't that long ago that an elderly lady was killed by a young woman she was trying to help inside New Street Station. They've tarted the place up but it has a really aggressive vibe from what it was like even 10 or 15 years ago. So many people and all stressed and jostling and on edge. Always the feeling of something about to kick off and you'd better not look at someone the wrong way.

Wasn't the teenage girl scout who was stabbed to death in Essex a few years ago also killed by someone as part of his gang initiation?

Yes it is a proven fact. You can google it

Then accusations of some sort of right wing agenda as they have the temerity to have consulted the Daily Mail at any point

Nothing wrong with consulting the Daily Mail - I look at that site myself on occasion.

But why would anyone only look at the DM, before starting a thread on MN, as the OP did, then declare that things had 'gone quiet' on such a serious crime?

You are right, always a man. But it wasn't always young white girls in care homes. Google Sikh girls groomed in the 80s, a movement called Shere Panjab highlighted it. Because of the concept of honour so much of this went unreported to authorities. This concept also made the young Sikh girls vulnerable to grooming as it was known they and their families would not report!

I’ve no idea. The point was that the inference was it HAD to be a non genuine poster who was trying to cause trouble. Then other people rocked up to say the same.

Ive posted genuine threads about real life situations and been accused of being a non-genuine poster in the first few pages just because people couldn’t believe that such a situation could exist. It’s troll hunting and I think it’s used to shut people down. It’s also bullying but one cares about that.

My comment didn’t negate yours as being valid.

It was a completely unprovoked attack. Reminds me a bit of the other random attack in bham in September 2020 where that man just stabbed people at random in city centre.

Exactly but the no backbone pm wont address it.

What do you think he should do?

Unless we lock up all mentally ill people I really can't see how this particular kind of attack can be addressed. Years of underfunding of mental health services are coming home to roost - add into the mix drug addiction and homelessness, etc.

What do you think a PM Farage would do?

No just another man harming us women.

And because he's black you don't care

I can remember when Care in the Community was introduced. Anyone who thought that it was a bad idea - presenting itself as progressive and caring but actually putting the public at risk as a way to save money - was accused of stigmatising those with mental health problems.

Why would you expect it to still be big news?

Likely mentally ill.

This. I asked another PP what they suggest - to do anything “before” means locking up all mentally ill people.

Which is not feasible

Ah yes, you’ve nailed it. I was initially horrified at the attack but when they said the perp was black, I immediately thought, ‘great, that doesn’t matter then.’ 🫤

What do you want the PM to do to prevent mentally ill men attacking people.

It amazed me just how silent the news was about this attack.

You obviously dont know about how things were before care in the Community came in.

I will say this story was super unnerving as I am in regularly in Brum and take a taxi right about where the woman was stabbed.

I definitely feel like I see much larger numbers of clearly mentally ill people wandering now (mainly men, sometimes women.)

I wonder what got them to that state.

Less focus on making sure men are allowed in women's changing rooms, that there are brown people in jobs just because they are brown and more about action.

I did think it seemed quite quiet news wise on this but I think that's often the case at weekends.

Huh? What does any of that have to do with mentally ill men attacking people on the street?
