Just as a parent seeing that footage of a young lad being treated like that awoke pure rage in me.

And that's entirely understandable given what's been said and shown.

 

It does show though how easy it is for decent people to be driven to anger to do indecent things by information that isn't necessarily 100% accurate, and perhaps more folks should keep that in mind.

I think the plot is actually quite well-advertised and planned.

 

They want to incite a race war with the goal of an ethnostate at the end of it.

An asian guy and he's tryna bait the ignorant people who love to get mad over this stuff. Politics has gone beyond satire.

 

And these idiots will probably win the election on the basis of "STOP DA BOATS".

I heard this announced yesterday and thought ‘what a good idea’. 
 

way more sensible to catch these things early - and CHEAPER !

 

I bet no one calls him out next time he’s interviewed for this race bait ignorance

The police officers didn’t break the law

they just did a shit job 

Hand cuffing a dying boy when he needed serious medical help. 
 

I think those are criminal actions and they should be tried in a criminal court and do time.

Of course it was wrong to cuff him

bit it’s not a criminal offence 

 

if they’d seen him ‘bleeding out’ then they would have dealt with it differently. The stab wounds  to the heart that effectively killed him led to massive loss of blood into his lungs. 
 

they denied him dignity in death. His life wasn’t saveable by the time they arrived.

Digwa gave the knife to his mother and it was later found by police at their family home along with more than 20 other weapons.

The Sikh Federation said the blade used by Digwa was not a religious knife, known as a kirpan.

 

Digwa is a **** and it was a matter of time he did something like this unfortunately the SIkh name has been tarnished.

 

I think the majority of good decent, society contributing people won’t do that. Only utter shit head scumbags tar entire communities/religions when incidents like this happen. The stains on community. 
 

Most people can see this for what it is.

I absolutely agree. However, it did at times seem the entire western worlds white population were vilified following the George Floyd incident. The world had lost it's collective head during those covid times and the consequences are still being felt.

Also, this whole matter really didn't start with the BLM movement and definitely didn't end with it either. 

 

Those consequences spoken of have been there for centuries, not years. It's only really been recently that the big power imbalances between various groups has even begun to be discussed, much less actually addressed.

Only racists were being vilified,  I am afraid to say that if you could not see that then if the cap fits.

There was (and still is) loads of stuff in the media and in wider discourse about the pernicious effects of 'whiteness' and how white people were automatically privileged by a system that needed dismantling. People were being asked at their work places how they were intending to address their white privilege. It was all very stupid and unhelpful.

This is why I agree with Kemi Badenoch when she said there has been an overcorrection in policy by Police in particular. This is the issue currently.

Depressingly we have seen this before a couple of summers ago. Tragic and senseless murders being used by the far right who don’t give a damn about the victims, by going out on the streets and causing violence and division. It’s fully predicable that this stuff in Southampton will end up spreading elsewhere over the days and weeks.

Really,  while I can't say I have seen nothing on white privilege to say it was all over the media is somewhat of an exaggeration,  but guess if you are looking for it there will be plenty on social media as there is on nearly any subject.  Never once have I been asked to address my white privilege.

Not saying it doesn’t happen. White, Sikh, Muslim, Jew etc. happens all the time. The vocal thick minority. 
 

I still like to believe it is the decent and educated but silent majority who don’t do it. 
 

Cowards, scum bags who do.

While there is clearly a perception of that around,   the statistics around the criminal justice system do not back it up,  quite the opposite in fact.

The stab wound which killed him was to the subclavian vein which bled into the thoracic cavity. This torrential bleeding was not visible externally although there would have been some bleeding from the soft tissues and the other wounds but in the dark it’s not surprising the first officers on the scene missed this.

I guess that all depends on where a person sees the balance lie. 

 

Unfortunately, there isn't much agreement on that, either.

Pratchett had it right. 

 

"For the enemy is not Troll, nor is it Dwarf, but it is the baleful, the malign, the cowardly, the vessels of hatred, those who do a bad thing and call it good..." - Thud

 

That entire book was a metaphor treatise on race relations that more people really should read.

Early days for a lot of the statistics pertaining for the new policy changes

Whilst slightly more rousing than her usual spiel, I did find the comments from Badenoch on a seminal moment akin to Stephen Lawrence slightly out of touch. His was a case that took decades to get anything remotely close to justice, with some guilty parties almost certainly still yet to face any kind of trial. 

 

I'm also acutely aware that human reaction to extremely emotional events like this mean that rationality and sense goes out the window, but I will never understand those that immediately head out to join the protests with tops off and flares like it's a parade. 

 

It's just so bleak.

It's humans listening to their hindbrain, sadly. 

 

Our tech and society is moving far faster than our brains are changing to be able to be a responsible steward of both. 

 

So yes, that's bleak, because the sentiment and ideology that leads to the tribal anger and violence described here ends nowhere good.
