Subject: RE: BS: Terrorism you don't read about From: Mr Red Date: 07 Jul 17 - 03:18 AM Not to diminish the seriousness of it, and certainly not to diminish the crime of terrorism: Lone attacks on single victims is racially motivated crime. Strident description purloining misnomers dilutes the word and softens the impact of its correct use. But that is what the world does in the name of disgust. (instead of discussed). |

Subject: RE: BS: Terrorism you don't read about From: Keith A of Hertford Date: 06 Jul 17 - 08:23 AM Independent 2 days ago, "At this stage, however, the only acid attack being officially treated as a hate crime by police is the one on Ms Khan and Mr Muhktar. Many of the other incidents seem to bear the hallmarks of particularly vicious robberies, rather than hate crimes. In one incident, in Limehouse, east London, the victim was white, and the social media user who tweeted a video of him being hosed down with water by paramedics confirmed it had been a "mugging".

Subject: RE: BS: Terrorism you don't read about From: Keith A of Hertford Date: 06 Jul 17 - 08:15 AM I think the attacks are reported, but horrific that they are they do not get the profile of murders. Some are certainly racist hate crimes, if such constitute terrorism. Guardian one year ago, "Six in 10 of all victims were male, while 71% described their ethnic origin as white British, the figures show (white British, according to the 2011 census, accounts for 80% of the British population in England and Wales). Globally, an estimated 80% of victims are women. Jaf Shah, the executive director of the support group Acid Survivors Trust International (ASTI), said: "Looking at the data in general, there is a fairly large probability that a high percentage of the incidents are male on male attacks and most likely to be gang related. The numbers appear to be very high and suggest an increase, which is very concerning."" |
