I do support this boy in raising money and appreciate the service he is doing.
However, there is no reason to believe that the offender was against this service. The report clearly states he was intoxicated and I do not believe we should jump to conclusions due to any ethnic background. This is a horrific crime, but not necessarily a "disgrace" to the tradition of remembrance poppies - Just a disgrace as any other crime of this level would be.Patriarch wrote:
No. Not at all. Do you dispute that certain ethnic groups have a higher incidence of animosity towards the armed forces?
Yes. Yes I do. Could you please provide us with proof that a black man is more likely to feel animosity towards the armed forces than your average white male?New Connorstantinople wrote:Largely what i was thinking.
We have: a youth in military clothing attacked by a melanin-enriched gentleman in a country with a growing worry of jihadists.
I humbly suggest that this MAY be a islam-motivated crime.
Yes! That's it! He knew that we'd know he was a Jihadi, so he went against his religion and got drunk to disguise his nefarious Islamism! The perfect crime!
Same reason I don't support remembrance day parades, or took part at school.
