Innocent man burned to death by vigilante neighbours who mistook him for paedophile

[Danno 1,228]

Leading with facts again?

Predictions are not always or even usually, fact-based.

Apparently my right 2 wrong prediction average has just dropped to 98%.

When I read the article I somehow missed the names (don't ask me how)

As these types of "mob burns man alive" stories are kinda rare in the modern era of the UK (as compared to other places)

I placed my bet on it being a few people from a place where such extreme justice is on occasion, administered by locals. (See Liveleak.com)

One can never excuse such crimes as this but what makes it even more over the top is that these two carried it out without there ever being a child victimized.

Unfortunately the Justice system has no means to serve up the punishment deserved here.

I'd love to be the house if you ever happened to venture out to a casino.

Must be a newb.

yes, there are members known as luckytxn.

Really? Cool ! We (you and me) have opposite predictions.

I predict these were white fellas, having some racist sh|te against the browns.

You might very well be right however just because event (A) happens between people of different Races does not always mean that the event was due to racism.

In fact in almost every time we hear of such things happening in the modern era is between people in the same town or village.

3 or 4 thousand people were lynched in the USA, were they all due to race?

Even the third that were Whites?

No Black person ever committed a horrific crime which in its self, would prompt such a common reaction in a mob of the day?

well that was painful to read.

you certainly don't put your best thinking foot forward when cornered.

Without a gun for protection across the pond one would think everyone would be safe. (liberal logic).... So who or what gets blamed in this story.... In the United States the gun is blamed for most shootings. Take away a gun everyone lives in a state of bliss.Except in British land.... The match will it be blamed or lighter whatever was used to light up the body,,,,,,Burned to death.

Whatever logic is used to make this kind of crass observation is hard to know but no one ever maintained that 100% of the people are going to be safe 100% of the time no matter what laws are in place. However, being as the homicide rate in the UK is miniscule compared to the US, you really have no room to crow about how out of control gun ownership in the US is making life safer in the US, it clearly isn't, but equally clearly that's not going to stop you making these absurd and nonsensical statements because here they are, in all their idiotic glory.

You just can't help yourself can you? This doesn't have anything to do with us, yet here we are again.

What planet are you on exactly? Predictions were not required on this occasion, all the necessary and pertinent facts were already provided IN THE ARTICLE provided by the OP including pictorial for the literary challenged. All you had to do was click on the link!

You just can't help yourself can you? This doesn't have anything to do with us, yet here we are again.

But of course, it's the natural progression in any conversation with dissimilar groups in the subject or participating in the comments.

Here you have some beastly act carried out against an innocent man and within the first page we see the race angle probed.

It's bigger than you and me, all we can do is put a saddle on it and ride.

[Darnell 8,479]

probed? well, that's a useful verb.

Some facts that'll get exposed, later.

the 'boys' that did this hate the browns.

The dead fella is a 'brown'.

That's it, that's all. The Paedophilia label was just thrown in, sideways, so it might look like revenge or vigilante-ism, but it's none of that. It's a basic 'us vs brown' in Brislington.

[Janelle2002 3,865]

well that was painful to read.

Glad you read the same thing. Because I put that paragraph through Google translate because I thought it was another language.

Apparently you have a connection to the story which is not posted in the report posted here or maybe you know "Just how "those" people are?"

How do you know more than the investigators about what motivated the mob and killing.

IS it possible the reporters and investigators are covering the whole thing up?

100 people gather (a lynch mob of sorts) each speaking against the soon to be victim, yet these folks were so clever not one of them slipped up and mentioned him being "brown" or that he was an "outsider" or anything.

The reports say only charges of pedophile were heard spoken.

The UK has some of the strongest laws against hate-speech or hate-crimes, yet the investigators don't appear to agree with you Darnell, as they don't level a single charge on that account?

The real story may be the coverup...... and if they are covering up this hate crime, imagine how many more, much smaller ones the police and press are covering up.

[Darnell 8,479]

Glad you understand the issue, O Danno.

only half-points to you, though, as you got there, in the end, and not in the beginning.

Here in the United States YOU blame the gun for a shooting ... The match is to blame ?
