Prediction: If the attacker is white this story will just disappear, if the attacker is anything but white, there will be riots over immigration
The killer is a Romanian homeless man with no job. How is a person like this, 1 allowed into our country and 2, not deported already.
I heard it was an Australian tourist?
We're now in A level results season on TSR. That means that the vast majority of staff and volunteer attention will be focused on supporting students with their results. Due to this, there will be little or no tolerance for any problems caused in D&CA threads. If there are any issues or derailments, we will lock the thread and moderation will be harsh on any troublemakers.

So a story with a (presumably) white attacker from Romania where the hero who stopped him is someone named Abdullah, simply faded away.
Just like I predicted.

Tbh I think a lot of us are just trying to avoid throwing about labels and speculation about races and cultures just now, I wouldn't read too much into it.

I wasn't necessarily referring to the posters on this site, I meant the UK in general. There were racist riots over the girls being stabbed over misinformation that the perpetrator was a Muslim immigrant. Now that that attacker is a white immigrant, not a word.

I would suspect what I said goes for a lot of the UK just now, not just here. I'm not certain that skin colour is the factor here beyond a loud minority, but I could be wrong.
People waiting to opportunistically spread blame upwards and demand that every crime is the fault of a race, culture or government agency etc rather than a criminal are getting a bit tiring to many of us.

Knock this disingenuous nonsense off. Whether someone has been killed or injured is an important distinction and someone pointing out your error/deliberate misinformation doesn't make them an apologist for the criminal as you insultingly imply.
Interview with Abdullah, the man who intervened in this incident.

Despite being from Pakistan, his actions and values are far more align with British values than the far right thugs and their online apologists who express their faux-patriotism by smashing the place up and assaulting police officers.

Apparently of Romanian descent the man…Police need to seriously get serious about stop and search.

No, whether a person dies or not is not a distinction we need to make when speaking about the safety of London. A child got stabbed, that is the only important information we need to know.
It keeps happening and the wheel keeps turning and nothing happens.

Why are you saying things like this? Its absurd.
"That is the only important information we need to know" if so why are you trying to add extra false information? A horrible crime as it is, it is not a killing, the perpetrator is not at this time a killer, using this emotive term is an attempt to anger people and get a reaction so I find it hard to see you as any different to the keyboard scumbags who largely sparked recent riots by their own vindictive misinformation.

So it's okay for you that 11 year old was stabbed because I changed it from killer to attempted killing?
I feel you are more outraged at my use of incorrect language rather than the fact a child was stabbed.
