"Who cares what you think?"
You do apparently - enough to make my quoting a statement from associates of the killer into a a quest for the Holy Grail.
Whoever said it - they were nearer to his reasoning than you and the untrustworthy police force you are relying on.
The implications of the statement are far too important it suppress, as you are attempting to do in your efforts to protect the good name of the corner of Little England you appear to occupy
Racism has always been an issue in Britain - a survey some years ago suggested that a quarter of the British people hold and have expressed racist opinions.
There was a sharp rise in racist incidents a year ago, following Brexit - there has been a five-fold increase in Islamophobic attacks since Manchester - the killing has already started in North London
If we don't want a race-war on our hands we are going to have to build some bridges and win some hearts and minds - bringing communities together is one of the ways to do that
Apologists for racism appear to have chosen their side already.
If the question of racism has been raised in this case, in needs examining seriously, not dismissing, as you have.
