    one that was instigated by the victim, which could have been avoided by not being an asshole

    This is victim blaming - motive is relevant when it’s something like self defence, not fucking mouthing off a bit.

      That racism isn’t relevant a motive to you says more than anything. And shows the downfall of the primary English speaking countries.

        Hate speech does not justify murder. If you can’t stop yourself from stabbing someone over an insult you should not be part of society.

          I’m not saying it’s justified, I’m saying that it’s a form of violence, and it’s unsurprising that violence might beget violence. It’s why societies form laws - as both a deterrent and a punishment for escalating things further. And in this case, the murderer was indeed punished.

          But that hate speech in general goes relatively unpunished is what least to this situation either way. Lashing out like that usually happens when humans don’t see justice repeatedly. It’s highly doubtful the murderer struck angrily at the moment because of this single instance, but rather this was the last domino in a series.

          Yet that so much focus is only placed on the errors of the police, and that’s why the UK will continue to see societal issues as these. The incident was multifaceted, but only one thing is focused on, to the benefit of the far right

            You literally blamed the victim for being stabbed. Yes you justified it you disgusting little pig.

              Fuck off racist. If we’re going to do insults, you’re the one also hard defending a racist white boy. Guess you’re full of racist shit just like your username suggests.

              Next in your parlor tricks you’ll say brownshirts that were attacked were victims too.

              This wasn’t some innocent incident of some guy just walking around doing nothing minding his own business randomly getting stabbed. He literally went and antagonized someone via racist profiling on camera. He fucked around and found out quite damn literally.

              That doesn’t mean he deserved getting stabbed. A good punch in the face yeah, but not a full killing. Yet here you are not understanding (or better yet, likely purposefully ignoring) the difference between just going about your day vs whacking at bears with sticks.

              Eat shite, filthy racist.

                Yes, you specifically blamed them and said they deserved to be stabbed, justifying it with “fighting words” laws. I haven’t said a single thing you’ve accused me of, and you’ve had to jump to people who literally dragged Jews into the street and murdered them as your comparison because you know your position is so aggressively unhinged. You notice how every time you try to talk about it you bring up actual violence? Once again, if you’re not mature enough to be called names without resorting to murder you’re not mature enough to participate in society.

                  For fucks sake you said it yourself “fighting words” not “self defense”. A fight breaking out is reasonable, not murder. Either way the idiot went looking for a fight and isn’t completely innocent! That’s the point!

                  Yet you keep trying to twist this into victim being 100% innocent in his intentions! That’s what’s fucking unhinged, you racist sack of shit
