Likely just laughing at you.

Also no matter what happens, you never stoop so low as to scream racist remarks at people. That shouldnt even be something that crosses your mind.

Stealing is also "idiotic and uncalled for" :rolleyes:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates - Part 8
 

I don’t think anyone said it wasn’t? However, that doesn’t justify the use of racial slurs in response, does it ?

Re: Moans and Pet Hates - Part 8
 

I’m mostly concerned not with the fact he used racial slurs, bad enough though that is, but that he came on an internet forum afterwards to voluntarily tell a bunch of strangers that he did so, like he’s looking for us to affirm him and tell him it’s ok to be racist in certain circumstances.

It is not ok.

^ THIS !

Re: Moans and Pet Hates - Part 8
 

I am hoping it was a mistake and it was them with the slurs not dude

Re: Moans and Pet Hates - Part 8
 

Doubtful, as he mentioned the girls was black (why would you?). To me it was instinctively said. I doubt he was looking for affirmation here either as I don't think he works that way.

He should have reported it. It was a mugging, and from drug dealers (could be legal where he is for all I know). But then again, they could have been 14 years old or less. It needs to be all taken with a large pinch of salt I reckon.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates - Part 8
 

There is literally nothing in his post that indicates why he shouted, in his own words, ‘racist slurs’.

So how you arrive at the conclusion that ‘to me it was instinctively said’ is a mystery. I can totally understand why you would want to believe it to be instinctive because the opposite is to accept that he thinks it’s acceptable to be racist under certain circumstances.

If you are somehow in any doubt as to the strange, attention seeking nature of this particular individual, a web search on his user name might be instructive.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates - Part 8
 

Probably not the right word 'instinctively'. I meant it as in the first words that came to him would be to use those words. He has no issues about mentioning black, using such words and telling people about it.

I have looked, he does have a strange habitual behaviour when it comes to forums. That's putting it politely.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates - Part 8
 

Kind of hope it wasn't instinctive as then it's second nature. That said we all have said things we regret when in shock or angry with adrenaline pumping, am I going to hold it against him that a couple of thieves had their feelings hurt or look into it deeply as part of some sort of character assessment, no but to be on the safe side I think I'll unsubscribe from the thread and let the proverbial lynching continue without me as I get the feeling it has a while to run yet

Re: Moans and Pet Hates - Part 8
 

Like I said … the problem is revealed by the fact that he came on the internet afterwards to tell a bunch of strangers about it. Why mention it at all if he didn’t think it was acceptable in some way? If it slipped out of my mouth I can tell you I’d be so mortified I’d wish nobody heard it and I’d certainly never tell anyone about it.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates - Part 8
 

That can't be argued with, at all

Re: Moans and Pet Hates - Part 8
 

You didnt say it was, you deliberately made a point about his response only, which implied you thought that was fine, just his response wasnt.
To be blunt, I consider physical stealing to be worse than a few insulting words.

It depends on whether it was deliberate, or just an instictive response.
Given how it was worded it, I'm inclined to think it was the former, which is poor form.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates - Part 8
 

The police have left the house lights on in my deceased neighbours house from yesterday, this is very unpleasant to see late at night.

Im sorry about your neighbour again SnoopZ :(

No it isnt and im sorry.... I was mad and upset and crying and I wasnt thinking.... A friend of mine said Im lucky they didnt hurt me.......

Yes I did report it to store staff but they said it was LEGAL (them smoking pot) and they couldnt really do anytihng of it...

Why bother taking camera footage then?

Im sorry Paul I wasnt thinking.... I was crying and upset and as I ran across the lot,they laughed and got further away....... (If my friend wasnt waiting for me in his car and was there,I know he would have chased them and tackled them and got my money back but I am not that fast)
