This attack took place last December, yet to date no arrests have been made.

One photo clearly shows two guys in High Vis jackets, seems they could have been 'bouncers' why didn't they offer to help this woman and her boyfriend?

[Islay]

The two 'guys' in high vis jackets did rush in to help as it shows on the video and in the text.

Tried to google a BBC or Guardian report on this racist attacks but failed to find one.

Should I be surprised?

[ToraToraTora]

Savages!

Then why didn't they apprehend these savages by carrying out a citizens arrest?

AOG - you regularly ask questions of this type. and the answer is always the same - here it is again -

The police will have investigations in place and have decided that early publicity in the media will hinder those investigations, so they will have placed a news black out until such times as they decide that it is appropriate for the information to be released to the public.

[Islay]

I have no idea AOG, perhaps you should ask them! But perhaps it was not clear as to what was happening. On the evening in question perhaps it could have looked like a pub brawl - so should they have arrested everyone or just the men of colour? There were only 2 security guards after all!

Ah yes we should not just arrest the 'men of colour' should we?

Interesting to see however that you have chosen to bring colour into the debate, rather than some strong criticism against these thugs for their cowardly racist attack on a defenceless member of your own sex.

A citizen's arrest on men that violent? Seriously?

>Interesting to see however that you have chosen to bring colour into the debate

Okay, AOG- perhaps your own reference to race in the title was not necessarily a reference to colour.

[andy-hughes]

AOG - //Ah yes we should not just arrest the 'men of colour' should we? //

That's not what Islay said and you know it.

Why do you persist in putting the wrong meaning on a statement, simply because it allows you to attach views that the poster has not expressed, and in all probability does not hold?

//Interesting to see however that you have chosen to bring colour into the debate, rather than some strong criticism against these thugs for their cowardly racist attack on a defenceless member of your own sex. //

I am sure Islay, myself, and anyone else reading the link would take the notion of condemnation as read, without the need to trumpet it all over the site so no-one is in any doubt how outraged we are.

Do not assume lack of condemnation equates to acceptance or support - it absolutely does not.

[ummmm]

The security guards DID run over to help!

No it was about what was reported as a racist attack.

Although surprising for some, not all races possess dark skins, so they could not possibly be described as coloured.

But unfortunately for some, the racist attackers were described as Asian, although one did seem to be a little too dark skinned as to be described as Asian.

Amazing, still no sympathy shown towards this poor woman or condemnation show towards her cowedly, brutish and savage attackers.

I wonder why?

[ToraToraTora]

you know AB, AOG, they'd rather attack the messenger.

[ummmm]

Then don't make your question misleading...

The only question I can see is "why didn't they offer to help this woman and her boyfriend?"

I think you can take it as a given that we would think they are "cowedly, brutish and savage attackers."

AOG - //Amazing, still no sympathy shown towards this poor woman or condemnation show towards her cowedly, brutish and savage attackers.

It is not a question of no condemnation, despite your inevitable attempt to make this a race defence issue, it is because people don't feel the need to huff and puff in outrage, they are willing to take the condemnation as read - as I explained to you in my previous post.

I know you choose not to answer me, but failing to read information posted on your thread leaves you open to asking already-answered questions - as you have done here.

So - in case you missed it - absence of condemnation of thugs does not equate to tacit support - no matter what colour they are.

Got it now?

[andy-hughes]

TTT - //you know AB, AOG, they'd rather attack the messenger. //

Please see my previous post - 'the messenger' is looking for inverse racism where none exists - again.

[andy-hughes]

ummmm - //I think you can take it as a given that we would think they are "cowedly, brutish and savage attackers." //

No - he can't, and therein lies the problem.

Coventry telegraph are only just reporting it AOG, the BBC cannot magic it up from no where.
