Yes and you notice the judge increased the sentence "due to public outrage".
There was no "public outrage". It was media righteous indignation (always sells papers).
And if there WAS any "public outrage", does that make it a worse crime than some kid who died and it never made the front pages?
No publicity = no "public outrage" = a slap on the wrist.
"I'll let you off because the Mail failed to cover the case".
Bollocks. Justice stinks. |
Innocent Accused |
A lot of circumstantial evidence admitted in court.We were not allowed to admit anything bad about my false accuser.
I wonder how much meejah pressure the judge was under to 'make it stick'?
This was trial by meejah,not British justice. |

Black on black and black on white crime doesn't exist at all...not according to the BBC anyway. White on black is safe and cosy. This time last year the tabloid headlines were EXTREMELY WHITE WEIRDO LANDLORD KILLED PRETTY BLONDE...or words to that effect. |

I have to say this is just another case of the media brain washing the majority (and by the majority I mean virtually everyone).
We all express horror and shock and revulsion.
Yet is it really that horrendous a crime?
Just because it appears racially related, does it deserve more of our attention than the dozens of black-on-black killings every year?
I reckon one dead, innocent kid's death is as bad as another's, whatever the "reason".
Racism is no worse or better a reason than gang violence or drugs or robbery.
Mindlessly we react unthinking, automatic, programmed by the media.
Lots of publicity provokes lots of reaction.
By giving more coverage to this tragic death than to Jimmy Mizen or Damilola Taylor or the numerous un-named deaths, the media is actually, subtly, deflecting attention from the real problems and enabling us to avoid true responsibility as we obey, Pavlov's dogs-like, the "good story" coverage.
We really do fall for it, don't we? And we've become so lazy about real, deep analysis and thought that we have all become headline slogan, tabloid thinkers.
As illustrated by this entire thread. |
