Man stabbed to death in Poundland.
 
Some poor guy has been stabbed to death in Poundland this afternoon, not thought to be terror related at this stage.

Are you more aware out and about these days? Do you find yourself profiling the people you see on the street?

I wonder how long this "terror" fascination is going to go on for.

was anyone non white seeings as though they think a stabbing is "terror" related.
or was all involved white and they just fear that all of them are going to be "terror" related?

Whats skin colour got to do with it?

Gary L 07-12-2015 19:57

Re: Man stabbed to death in Poundland.
 
I've said why.
I'm actually asking is it because of the colour of the skin that they even thought it may be "terror" related.

will a road rage incident be considered as a possible "terror" ?

Re: Man stabbed to death in Poundland.
 
No and normally this would not be considered terror, but the current climate changes that. We are more aware of terror.

If this happened 6 months ago you may assume it's a personal vendetta/drug related/etc. So mentioning terror today in context is reasonable, even though unlikely. But I still don't understand your "white" comment?

Because I'm trying to work out why the "terror" suggestion was made. and whether it will still have been suggested depending on what colour their hands are.

Ok, I'm pretty sure you didn't mean this....

But it could be seen you're saying white people are never terrorists, only black/Asian none whites can be terrorists? You cannot be saying that because that's about the most vile racist biggoted thing a person could say!!

Are you asking me if I'm black? No I'm mixed race but my mother is black. But again I do not see the relevance?

No more than usual, though I have found that since I moved out of London the amount of people I profile as ********* has dropped considerably, which is nice.

Think this is getting a bit off topic :confused:

Someone's ethnicity shouldn't matter when debating in a thread.

I'll define terrorism again though. A person who uses terrorism in the pursuit of political aims.

No race or religion need be involved to be labelled a terrorist. Just any old person that commits to the above.

I think the Boston Bombers proved fairly well that you needn't just automatically assume something via skin colour. But hey, I've been labeled a terrorist sympathizer for saying not all muslims are terrorists :rolleyes:

The U.K. has over 100000 white Muslims, Gary is really going by to struggle with that.

You're trying to have a sensible fact-based discussion with Gary - you're new around here, obviously... ;)

That's a lot of Muslims.

When you asked "Do you find yourself profiling the people you see on the street?"
just what are you looking for?
what tells you that he or she may be a terrorist?

Or white people are never Muslim

How about we get back to the topic

I'm sure that someone wandering around a crowded shopping area, shouting at passers-by, and carrying 4 long knives is going to terrorise people.

If they put their phones down and stop filming of course....
