I didn't know that Sadiq Khan was black, but if you want to bring skin colour into this, the gunman was black.

Ah! So the Black gunman was a member of the BNP or EDL then?

[Gromit]

I think the victim was also black.

(Off topic) The driver in front of you gets shot, and then the lights change to green. What do you do?
Undertake and drive off, obviously.

[Minkyme]

Gromit,possibly had kids in car, was scared for their life or just didn’t want to be a police witness

[Zacs-Master]

'didn’t want to be a police witness'

Pretty sure the car will have been identified on CCTV.

[Minkyme]

Agreed zacmaster but if that was the reason I’m pretty sure seeing a balaclavad would be murderer pumping shots into the driver in front of you removed all reasonable thoughts. Well it would me.

Ah yet another black on black attempted killing then, is there no end to them?

[Zacs-Master]

Me too, Minky.

[Zacs-Master]

Cheer up AOG, not long until NHC!!!

[Minkyme]

Is there no end to black on black killings?

Statistically you’ll find that the biggest murderers of white, black,Asian ect killings would be their own own racial groups. Ie, white on white, black on black, Asian on Asian etc as many racial groups tend to live in areas where their racial groups are predominately theirs or tend to mix amongst their racial groups hence... why

[sanmac]

Precisely, what we need are more multicultural and interracial killings in order to prove how progressively diverse our society is. (In response to post at 1715.)

[Minkyme]

Otherwise all we’d hear is about white on white killings...What exactly is your point again?

and anyway - secret assassin he MAY be
but he doesnt go around with his trousers half way darn his bum,
does he ?

Perhaps that is why there are proportionally more blacks in prison than whites.

[sanmac]

You really , honestly don't get my point, Minkyme?

[Minkyme]

Well the whole idea of a point is a direct draw to attention to what you’re talking about and not cryptology beating around the bush to be honest.

Holy cow!

I stand corrected and withdraw.

I need to lie in a dark room with a cold flannel on my face.

[sanmac]

Do you mean that I should be as clear, concise and succinct as your post at 1641?
"An educated guess based on knowledge is hardly an accusation but more of an educated observation based on past facts Vulcan."

[Zacs-Master]

You can’t stand corrected if you’re laying down, sp. ;-)

//Perhaps that is why there are proportionally more blacks in prison than whites.//

Careful - you really don't want to start pulling at that thread, because if you do, someone is likely to ask why there are more proportionally way more ex-servicemen in jail.

And then it just get messy - because other people will start posting stats which show that black first time offenders are much more likely to receive custodial sentences than white offenders for similar offences.

And then after that, you will probably try to suggest that black people are predetermined to crime. And then someone else will throw a load of figures at you to show that you're 'a bigot' (note the quote marks) and then you will complain about being bullied...and then ad lib to fade.
