Time to kill the messager again

I had to think twice before I posted this disgustingly shocking news report.

Why is it once again, that groups of either Asians or blacks are involved in such cases as this one?

When I first head this on the news, they did not at first give out the ethnicity of the group, and underneath I was hoping that they might be white men, so that I could post the story, without the condemnations that are generally levelled at me for daring to highlight such disgusting actions.

But alas that could not be, the only diversion from the norm that I can give, is the fact that one of the perpetrators was white.

/// If we (and by we I don't simply mean the people on this site but wider society as well) put race aside and spent time, as you said in your last post, looking for the solution and trying to understand the reasons behind the crimes. ///

Absolutely I once again agree with part of what you say but, one cannot discuss one without the other.

In today's society it is deemed rather un-PC to mention a person's Race, Religious Beliefs, Sexual Gender, or Disabilities, but it must be brought out into the open, if for these reasons their particular cases come up for discussion, and they are deemed to be involved.

One might say it is discriminating against Pit-Bull Terriers and their owners, to always bring up cases of them attacking children.

Hang on - did you write the question to get a specific answer?

My assumption is that you wanted to engage people in a debate. With that in mind, don't you think it'd be illuminating to give your views?

At last we agree AOG. Race, IF it contributes to the WHY the crime was committed will always need to be a part of the discussion but in order not to be racist the question needs to be posed in a fashion which does not assume that race is part of the why.

If upon investigation / debate / discussion the issue arises then that the background / ethnicity / economic circumstances etc etc etc are a reason then thats fair enough however, only race was mentioned in your question and unfortunately the tone (the curse of the written word) made it sound as if you blame skin colour for actions.

BTW - you can call me Lou - its quicker!

/// only race was mentioned in your question and unfortunately the tone (the curse of the written word) made it sound as if you blame skin colour for actions.///

This was because many longer serving members of the news section, realise that this type of crime has been carried out before by likewise persons, so their skin colour (or much better word ethnicity) of the culprits, had to be mentioned from the start to try and link this type of crime together with others similar.

This is the significance of my headline, "Time to kill the massager AGAIN".

Don't try and be drawn into the racist aspect of this, as some would prefer you to do, I think you are above all that.

Thank you for posting that link, It would seem that in this despicable case, the savages are these three disgusting white perverts,

I could not understand why I could not find a report on this, but apparently for some reason reporting restrictions were not lifted until today.
