Henry Nowak - I can’t breathe

Are her concerns legitimate? Where does she have evidence of a racially motivated killing of Salika as she has claimed? Or is it dog whistling?

Yes, Farage has gone too far with his 'white rage' comments, I agree fully. The far left is definitely more covert in their communication style.

Whether it's the UK or the US, black people account for a disproportionately high share of crimes commited. In the US for example, Walmart's, Walgreens, Best Buy etc have pulled out of predominantly black neighbours because of looting.

For example, we used to collect statistics in Ireland on the nationalities of rapists until Sinn Féin and others went after AGS and the DPP decrying racism. The Rape and Justice in Ireland report 2009 , which found that African men were 10 x more likely to rape based on their proportion of the population at the time. That's an absolutely shocking statistic.

Nobody should ever be targeted because of their skin colour, but statistically they are ones committing the crimes.

Do you now want to go back to old fashioned class-based left wing politics?

Up till now you were still arguing from the perspective of racial-identity politics, white oppressors etc.

It’s complex question, why African Americans are not succeeding economically in comparison with other group. The huge wealth growth of south east Asian Americans, many of whom whose parents arrived in poverty - does help offer some solutions. E.g. stable family structures, putting a premium on educational attainment.

OK, suppose Black people are stopped 3.8 times as frequently, but (say) only 10% of these generate enough evidence for a charge whereas 20% of White people who are stopped get charged: this is prima facie evidence of biased policing. However suppose the charge rate is the same (10% or whatever) for both groups, this is consistent with unbiased policing. Note that I say it doesn't quite prove anything. I make the point to demonstrate that you have to be careful in making inferences from data.

A Romanian shoplifter died in a very similar way not that long ago. These rabid fanatics don't care about that because they couldn't use it to point out how we are all filthy racists. We must ignore all reality and accept our scoldings.

I literally referenced it a few posts back. I think there's a pretty serious issue of security guards using force that they can't safely manage.

That’s your only take from this?!? Really? Police arrive at the scene of an alleged crime, and because of how they’ve been trained, immediately proceed based on the skin colour of the individuals present at the scene, the innocent party dies in handcuffs having his right read to him minutes later, and you have nothing to say about that but want farage and Lennon arrested? Are you well?

Post 6 of this very thread, you should try reading from the original post onwards

On this: yes it turns out that he had history of violent and threatening behaviour: there's video footage of him threatening a random driver in a road rage incident, and a guy who was at school with him said he was often violent and brought weapons to school many times. Being a Sikh apparently that's allowed - or at least tolerated because nobody dares query what is a religious right.

And yes, his mother has been found guilty of assisting an offender after she attempted to hide the blade used in the attack and will be sentenced on 17 July.

His brother and father have also been charged with possessing various offensive weapons including an air rifle, an axe an ASP and a kirpan, in a public place.

The Sikhs and those on the left arguing that the knife wasn't a kirpan itself (as it was straight?) and also that since he'd another knife his religious requirement to carry one was met so the exception didn't apply in two ways to the larger knife are idiots.

All that means is he had an illegal knife, went to work wearing an illegal knife, and walked around town with an illegal knife, all in the open and all without anyone doing anything about it as he was Sikh.

Except there is exactly zero evidence of that being the case. (Way to go to try to blame victims for being a bit racist though. Well done you.)

But we do actually know quite a lot about those unreported rapes. If they weren't recorded somewhere you wouldn't even be able to make that point. We know that most rapes go unreported because there are non-police reports, from rape crisis and the like, which can be compared to the much lower number that are officially reported to the police.

But those other reports don't show that sort of racial difference in the profiles of attackers. The main difference in profiles would be whether someone is a victim of stranger rape. or of domestic violence. And clearly DV perpetrators may have a different national/ethnic identity compared to stranger rape - but again I'm not aware of any evidence that foreign men are less violent to their partners than Irish men.

It's victim blaming because you're suggesting that if someone is raped by a black person she will be more likely to report it to the police than the same attack by a white man.

That's a really strange thing to think.

(The difference between stranger rape and partners/former partners is a different question, as I said. Anyway, given that the vast majority of rapes are not by strangers, then unless foreign men were FAR more likely to commit rape, that could not possibly be the explanation, since most Irish women have Irish partners.)

"Repeating nonsense does not make it true".

A bit of self-reflection needed here methinks.
