Why Are They Always In Such A Hurry To Confirm That This Sort Of Thing Isn't Believed To Be A Terror Related Incident?

/// Superintendent Glyn Fernquest said: 'I'd like to just reassure the public that this incident is not believed to be terror related and has no links to the Newport marathon that is taking place this morning. ///

What could it possibly be, a hate crime or a racist incident or just yet another nutter?

Stop accusing people or assuming you know who has removed an answer. You only know who a handful of mods are.

Reported. Time to close the thread again methinks.

[ummmm]

You'll be accused next ZM.

ANOTHEOLDGIT, if a Bengali person were assaulted by someone he knew to be Bengali whilst walking about in Corby for example, would the victim be asked about its being racist?

If a white person were attacked by a non-white person, would the white victim not be asked if they thought it to be a racist attack?

AOG - I am not taking any 'attitude' - I simply prefer my opinions not to be linked directly to anyone else's in the way you have done.

I believe I was polite in my response, so no 'attitude' here I assure you.

I haven't "bothered to look back through the whole thread....but did AOG "accuse" a mod or did he perhaps allude to the "usual suspect" as one of his stalkers that try to derail or close his threads on a regular basis?
You may notice that the "authorities are almost as quick in issuing statements that murderous attacks are not "terror related" as they are in calling all protest about the conditions that allow such horror as "right wing fascism or hate crime".
