These weren't some hooded gang members from the depths of Tower Hamlets, but schoolboys in blazers who chased a defenceless boy into a busy London tube station, and stabbed him to death.

Even after this latest heinous crime, there will still be some on this site who will try and dilute the seriousness of this crime, by stating that crimes such as this are no worse than they were years ago.

It was only the Daily Mail that dared to report that those in custody are black.

/// All of those in custody are black and the victim was of north African descent and lived in west London.///

Why is this, shouldn't the general public be told? I am sure if they were white, every news source would report the fact.

To paraphrase Clement Attlee, a period of silence from AOG would be welcome.
Clement Attlee said that about AOG ? how old is AOG?
aog was around before Attlee, but perhaps you could look up 'paraphrase'.
I wil, if you look up pedantic jno. It was a joke.
Could it not be that the other newspapers are not influenced by the colour of those who carried out the attack? When I first heard the story my initial reaction was not " I wonder what colour they were?"
Any shooting and stabbing incident in the news and my first thought is....another black on black, and guess what?......... it usually is.

Most poeple posting on this thread are more bothered about AOG posting his thread than actually worrying about why it is happening

"Why is this, shouldn't the general public be told? I am sure if they were white, every news source would report the fact."

Is that the point of your post? That news sources would write:

"All of those in custody are white and the victim was of Welsh descent and lived in west London"

Really?

Seriously?

Can you see something weird in that second example?
AOG

And I remember your origainal post when you used the term 'black savages'. I accused you of usingt that phrase because in your heart, you are racist.

I said you would never use the phrase 'white savages'.

From that point onwards, you've altered your phrasing.

I consider that, not so much of a U turn...as an S bend.

By the way - the story sickens me. I find the death of any child, who has had their life snuffed out before they've even had a chance to live just tragic.

And to be stabbed to death...just sickening.

I'm sure anyone reading this story will feel depressed and angry and hope that those responsible are dealt with in the most severe way possible.

Hopefully, this is how people will react to this disgusting crime, rather than trying to score cheap race points, as you have.

Undoubtedly it would, to some on this site, but it isn't going to happen.

I will continue to highlight certain news reports, and add the relevant matters that the general media are afraid to highlight, regardless of who I might upset.

If they are happy to witness hordes of thugs, rampaging through our streets, I am not. If they happen to be Black (which mainly they) are I see no reason why this should not be reported.

This stupid 'respect man', gang culture has now got to be given top priority,by our police, and stampted out.

Who knows the next time it could be one of your family waiting for their ticket at the tube station, that gets knifed.

Back to your original question, which was quite interesting - do you think that news sources would've reported their race if they were White in the way I described?

Consider this scenario: A Black youngster is killed by a gang of White youths,

Do you think the headline would be thus?

/// Black youngster fatally knifed and attacked by two groups of up to 35 youngsters.///

No, I think every media source in the country, would be falling over themselves to report that the attackers were White, and quite right too?

/// AOG, can i ask how old you are please? /// No, didn't your parents teach you that it is rude to ask a person's age?

/// Also do you fear black people and get easily frightened when they are walking past you on the street? ///

This is dependant on where one is, yes I would fear black people, if I was on my own after dark in a predominately black area.

But due to the fact that no one dares to ask why some blacks tend to go around in gangs, with knives and guns, in case they are called a racist, this is the reason why matters can only escalate, because most people will not dare to approach the problem.

This thread is a typical example.

Gangs of black youths converge on a London tube station at a peak time, and stab another youngster dead. FACT, FACT, FACT.

Yet does anyone show concern? not many they would rather have a go at those persons who show concern.

You need to look up the very recent (in the past week) story about the Indian-born doctor who was murdered (they stamped on his head) by two White drug addicts in the West End of London.

This was reported as a straight robbery/murder, with no racial overtones.

However, where race or sexuality is the REASON for the attack - it get reported ad such:

You remember the Kriss Donald case don't you?
AOG

I don't think any part of your question shows concern. It shows something else, rather less laudable. It shows a degree of 'Ha, told ya so'.

It's a question framed with the same contempt that I would post had I found something nasty about the BNP (not exactly difficult).

The reason the messenger is sometimes shot is because sometimes the messenger throws away all the letters bar one...and that's not his job.

Well it goes on and on, but it seems that only the Telegraph has reported it, is life so cheap?

In this latest case one teenager killed and another two injured in Hackney

/// Emergency services were called to reports of three men being assaulted shortly before 2am. ///

/// "The area would still have been quite busy at the time of the attack, so we need to speak to anyone who saw what happened." ///.

Well that's a start, perhaps it would be easier for witnesses, if they had some description to go on.

Whether they were black or white, perhaps?
