Why the silence II - The Sequel

[sp1814]

Can we ask why there has been a suspicious silence from 'the usual suspects' on AB on this story?

If these paedophiles had been Muslim (as with the story from two days ago), would it have been a legitimate area to discuss?

I acknowledge I'm playing the same silly game as the rampant Islamophobes, bit hopefully, the point should be obvious.

Don't worry, there will be plenty of noise again soon enough

[ummmm]

Are you talking about Colin Blanchard?

I was going to post about it yesterday but everyone seemed too busy bickering...

[starone]

Nobody is up yet. wait a bit they soon will be.

[Ankou]

any news item is generally a legitimate area to discuss (except the nonsense celeb gossipy stuff i suppose).

of course these crimes are despicable and deserve the fullest castigation. but why would one wish to detract from the crime by merely focussing on the ethnicity ? a paedophile deserves to be berated and punished, whether they are muslim, jew, black, white, hindi, sikh or from the grand order of the jabberwocky.

As a deputy master of the Grand Order of The Jabberwocky, I take offence at that.

Castrate the scum with a rusty bean tin. Is that better SP?

[sp1814]

R1Geezer

I can't see how you can castrate a woman.

Ankou - my point concerns exactly that...had this story been about Muslims, the cry would go up, "Why aren't Muslim community leaders condemning these appalling crimes?"

There's hypocrisy in the air tonight.

I was right yesterday when I said "one would have to be up early to post, if their was a similar news report concerning whites", and who better to come up with it than sp1814.

But he was in that much of a hurry to post he forgot the link, and being all for a 'level playing field' I have posted a Daily Mail report (being the paper not to hold back the facts) on this sickening crime.

Once again we see the sordid & horrible side of disgusting acts towards innocent children, but in this case it is even worse because it also involved four women, how can they do such things to the ones that they bring into this ever increasing sordid world?

A point in question about this case is the fact that the judge has told that disgusting creature that he may never be released, (and quite rightly so) but why wasn't the same justice metered out to those other paedophiles, and why were the four women let off so lightly?

[R1Geezer]

well I think pretty well everyone is condemming this SP, not sure what axe you are trying to grind here.

[jackthehat]

Apparently, it is not enough to be merely disgusted.

One has to make a strong posting to that effect, for fear of being branded 'accepting' or 'ambivalent', or labelled a yoghurt-knitting, tree-hugging, sandal-wearing leftie.
We seem to be expected to line up in the News department to get our 'mark' and then pass through the appropriate Division Lobby to register out thoughts on the Daily Hate served up to us in a patriotic weskit..............

[anotheoldgit]

No need to go to that trouble jackthehat, just ignore posts that you yourself find objectionable for your own particular reasons, instead of sitting on the fence waiting to jump in with your regular aggressive, sarcastic and snide remarks.

The.........AOG.
Aren't you a little too old for these temper tantrums ?

[anotheoldgit]

jackthehat

2 minutes, that must be your record, do you just sit there waiting for the letters AOG to appear?

/// Aren't you a little too old for these temper tantrums ?///

No temper tantrums from this end, suggest that you look closer to home.

[Ankou]

well jth is a bra burning knickerless feminist, they can be quite scarey.

especially when hanging around outside ann summers, or going up escalators in a short skirt. no wonder aog becomesso pugnacious, must be some sort of fear of the vagina dentata........

:o]

[keyplus90]

SP - I know exactly what point you are trying to make.

[jackthehat]

AOG - Will you be questioning everybody on their posting habits ? You are merely making yourself appear more foolish.........

Ankou - It's still a little parky up here for all that, at the minute...........although Mr Damart can expect to see a slump in his sales, soon, hopefully.....
