Poppy seller burned

[Chucky Arla]

Well I'd hardly put it past you to also assault the boy. But then I'm sure that's the point.

Assault a child? No, not at all. I'm not quite British military standard.

[New Connorstantinople]

Perhaps he wasn't. I said this may be the case earlier, multiple times in fact, but i committed the great sin of suggesting it MIGHT, and must not be left unpunished.

It might have been a million things, and you've only been talking about how it might be a Jihadist attack. But we're the problem for calling that racist and bigoted. Yeah. Sure.

Snatch them off the fucker, add fire, toast marshmallow.

Might have mentioned that.

Although I can only assume that you will now apply some ludicrously open interpretation of assault to fit your view.

Well I'd hardly put it past you to also assault the boy. But then I'm sure that's the point.

In sorry friend, but it looks like you insult me only because i suggest what has already been a past occurrence. If so, i will proceed no further.

[Ifreann]

Iffy, it looks as though we are suggesting the same thing. I say that this may be islamicly motivated, you say it may not. I agree that it may not, and i hope you could understand how it may also be as well.

No, you're suggesting that the perpetrator was a Muslim terrorist and trying not to look too racist while you do. I'm suggesting we don't know what motivated the attack.

[The Cobalt Sky]

I hear that's where they plan their terrorism and steal our women.

Obviously someone who sets a kid's face on fire for Islam doesn't actually care about Islam. Duh.

But guys, the bible says not to murder and the KKK does just that


Id also like to say that this isn't me saying this has to be the cade, only that it might .

Matthew 10:34: “Do not think that I came to send peace upon earth: I came not to send peace, but the sword.”
And if violence was so bad, what of the warrior Joshua? What of David, who slew Goliath? What of the rapture?

EDIT: My point is, the Bible isn't against killing enemies. The ten commandments say you shall not murder, as in cold blood.

Good thing they burned a drug seller

See, my theory is already being corroborated.

We're insulting you because your suggestion is retarded, and instead of admitting it and backing down, you're doubling down. There's as much evidence that this was committed by some random chav as anything else - i.e. "none"

Edit for clarification: If you hear "attack" and think "Muslims", that's racist. And really stupid too.

The circle jerk is upon us. I admit that it is impossible for the attack to be islamicly motivated a nation where islamicly motivated attacks are barely uncommon.

Have a nice day.

By the way, I do hope they catch the fucker and put him away, no matter who he was. Lighting a kid on fire? Christ.

Are you kidding me? Nobody's saying it's impossible, just that it's retarded to pick out any specific motivation when the only description we have is "hoodie, might have been a dude, owns a spray can".

That's two. Gonna hang around and tell us a third time that you're leaving because we're all so mean?

Thankyou.

[Twilight Imperium]

On the flip side, these kinds of threads are very educational about our fellow posters. They're like a poor man's Rorshach blot test - a violent event where we can project whatever attributes we want to onto the perpetrator.

Except instead of us saying that it's a picture of two bears high fiving and thus revealing our aptitude towards energy weapons, the secret prize is racism.

[The Emerald Dragon]

Good thing they burned a drug seller

They use paper poppies in Britain for Remembrance day.

[Old Tyrannia]

How awful. My sympathies are with the victim and I hope that the perpetrator is found and punished appropriately for such a horrific crime; being drunk is no excuse for assaulting a kid with a makeshift flamethrower, and targeting a boy while he's doing charity work to raise money for war veterans and bereaved families strikes one as particularly low.

I'd also like to register my disgust that the first two pages of this thread consist primarily of people sitting atop their ivory towers declaring how racist it is to assume anything about the perpetrator's intentions and even criticising the soldiers the poppy is supposed to commemorate while any condemnation of the attacker or expression of sympathy for the victim is more or less an afterthought. Assumptions are bad, but it is not unreasonable to suggest given the information we have about the attacker and the context and circumstances of the attack that the perpetrator was motivated by hatred of the British military.

[The Emerald Dragon]

Lad, you've been fed too much.

[Empire of Narnia]

That's mean. I hope they find the guy and punish him. I don't think this has anything to do with Islam though. Being drunk in public and radical Islam don't really go together.

[MERIZoC]

t it is not unreasonable to suggest given the information we have about the attacker and the context and circumstances of the attack that the perpetrator was motivated by hatred of the British military.

Yeah, it sort of is. All you have is a "maybe he was 1 of 2 possible ethnicities", and without providing any evidence to suggest that blacks and Asians hate the armed forces more than other people, it's racist to presume that was the reason.

I'm sorry. I don't get the intended message there.

[Twilight Imperium]

Agreed, but from there it's still a bit of a jump to go "muslim!". There's plenty of types of people that dislike the British military.

I assume, since a lot of Asians are Muslims in Britain, and a lot of hardline Muslims or apparent Muslims hold protests and want British soldiers to be beheaded, the ones making such statements assume they're Muslim.

Indeed. Twenty years ago if this had happened everyone would be assuming it was an Irishman.

EDIT: Assuming the IRA was still a thing in 1994. But you get the point.
