A white attacker and a Muslim hero who stopped the attack. The perfect conditions for a crime thread to be deserted by (far) right-wing posters! 😃

 

   The attacker was Romanian , wouldn't that encourage the "far right posters" to complain about immigrants ?

    Well done Mr Abdullah.   A very brave young man.

    He was the security guard at an adjacent "tea shop", which in this case I suspect means a shop selling expensive tea making paraphernalia to tourists rather than selling brews! Either way, I would ima

  False accusation there .

I have not objecting to you pointing out his skin colour

I just asked you why you needed to mention  it 

Its just considered to be racist these days , if you use a persons skin colour to describe them 

Because it’s factually correct.

 

Don’t be ridiculous, it is not racist to say someone who is white is white.

 

But hay-ho, if you want to try and play the race card.

I don’t think they need any encouragement.

Could we refer to him as "the Romanian attacker " in future , rather than him being a White attacker

You can if you want Nick, but he’s still white.

 

And Abdullah is still a very brave young man, a hero even. That you can’t bring yourself to accept that truth says nothing at all about Abdullah and everything we need to know about you.

   Another false allegation  there .

I have neither stated that the Brown man is or is not brave or a hero .

Its a false allegation that I will not accept that the brown man was brave , because I have not said that he wasn't brave .

   Another false allegation from you

assume that Abdullah is Muslim. He was clear, brief and modest in his interview. His courage has hopefully prevented two more deaths and he is a hero by any measure. I hope he is recognized with a commendation. Over to  you, Your Majesty!

There are several awards and commendations which he may well receive - initiated both by the civic authorities and the Metropolitan Police Service. I doubt whether His Majesty will get directly involved, although I am sure that he will have been fully briefed, and will have been pleased by the actions of his subject.

So you didn’t post this then?

Stop digging Nick.

I did post on another thread of this guy doing his bit as most of us would do the same if a young girl was in a headlock being stabbed. No complaints from me he took him on and saved there lives.

You also asked a question regarding the color of the attacker.

 

You got an answer to that question too.

 

As for most of us doing what this brave young man did, I believe most would absolutely hope we were brave and swift enough., it’s not quite the same thing, which is precisely why he deserves recognition as a hero.

It wasn't meant literally, it was a reference to another poster who thought that he was being heroic for pointing out a 7 /11 staff member didn't scan his burger .

Well said Nick!

Why would any man stab an 11 year old girl? 

 

Presumably the Romanian was insane?

A 32 year old Romanian of no fixed address (who can only speak via an interpreter) was the attacker.

 

You don't think that will concern those who are worried about mass immigration? (or the 'far-right' as you like to call them).

 

The Muslim guy was a hero, absolutely.

Stunning bravery and quick life saving action by Abdullah.

 

The right man in the right place at the right time.

 

Well done young man, your hero.

 

Amazing not a mark on him, no blood and not a hair out of place, and the only one of several who helped interviewed. I'd like to see the video footage before calling him a hero.

Yet we only have his word for what happened, you just lap it up because it's believed he's a muslim. People are jumping to conclusions again without evidence, we need to see the CCTV footage to see who else was involved.

It is very likely that the first thing he did after the police took the knife man away, was to go and wash his hands and face, and comb his hair. Heaven knows he may even have put on a clean shirt.

 

Accounts seem to agree that he was the first to tackle the knife man, and that he disarmed him. Others then helped him.

stop digging, you denied saying something, and I linked a post from you, only one hour earlier, saying exactly that which you denied.

 

Just have some self awareness for once, you’re making an utter fool of yourself.

Yeah, right, of course you would, just like you do every day!

 

I am not sure that he is seeking any publicity or awards, merely being interviewed by journalists, and describing what happened.

To be fair if he is a muslim they should make the most of it, not often they are heroes is it, usually they are at the other end of the spectrum: from wikepedia-

 

According to Fondapol, a French think tank, between 1979 and May 2021, at least 48,035 Islamist terrorist attacks took place worldwide, causing the deaths of at least 210,138 people. During this period, each Islamist attack resulted in the death of about 4.4 persons on average.

Perhaps as a "swarthy central Balkans sort of cove", purely in the interests of accuracy of course?

It wasn't a literal post   .

I was sarcastically stating that the Guy in 7/11 who pointed out that the staff member didn't scan his burger was the real hero , after all , he was seeking recognition for his heroism .

Yes, thank you. I am quite aware of the possibilities and protocol.

   Just for clarification for the slow people who need everything explained to them .

People who disarm knife attackers are hero's and brave and other people that point out that 7/11 cashiers didn't scan their hamburger are NOT brave or heroes and don't deserve any recognition 

   Hope that's clear now
