| | getting out of hand now...Page 1 of 2 (1, 2) | A woman had her arm slashed by a 10-year-old boy after she refused to give him a cigarette.
The woman, in her 50s, was confronted by the boy and his friend outside Selhurst railway station in south London on Wednesday.
He tried to grab a lit cigarette from her mouth and attacked her when she shouted back at the pair.
Passers-by rushed to her aid as she bled heavily from the wound which was inflicted with a craft knife or razor.
CCTV studied
Officers are studying CCTV from the station and have taken statements from witnesses over the incident.
A Metropolitan Police spokesman said the boys had been described as black and about ten years old.
"We are investigating an assault on a woman that occurred at around 2.20pm on Wednesday July 23 outside Selhurst railway station," the spokesman added.
"The victim, a woman aged in her 50s, received a cut to her arm after two boys attempted to steal a cigarette from her mouth." | |

And here we see what is wrong with this country - WHY mention a colour, would it be different if he were Caucasian?
The story is horrendous by itself, without racist rants making the situation worse. | |

The police report mentioned his colour didnt they?

why racist ? I think it more irksome that people brush the colour issue under the carpet instead of adressing the issues of a connection between black poverty and crime. Heard of operation Trident???
Sorry if you wish to be seen to be pc but black crime does exist and is very prolific

Posted: 7/25/2008 4:49:24 AM | The skin colour of the unfortunate kid is not important to mention ...
I remember thinking 'why' these early teenage kids have nowhere to go to play, there are playgrounds all around for the smaller kids but older have no many places to go.. | |

Posted: 7/25/2008 4:52:23 AM | If the story ahd highlighted the issue of black crime that would have been a different thing. But it didn't. It simply said a black child.
To do that wiothout explaining why they were mentioning colour is inappropriate at best. We all know that black crime is predominant and accounts for some 80% of all crime in London.
In this day and age the editor would know that simply mentioning black could stir up yet more racial unease, and their's enough to be going on with already. | |

It wasn't much different when i was a teenager yet i never felt the need to attack an adult because i was taught to RESPECT people.
I think we have come to the point now where the law needs to be a hell of a lot stricter with children over the age of 10 commiting serious crimes.Or let the parents be punished for their childrens crimes. | |

Watch Crimewatch , descriptions are given of causeans too. If we live in a world where we are afraid to describe a suspect then no one would be caught . | |

Posted: 7/25/2008 5:14:14 AM | I am 43 i have no where to play tonight shall i go and slash someones arm for a cigarette?
Sorry but saying they have nowhere to go has got nothing to do with it apart from ex's who could stab another human being and especially all for a cigarette. | |

Posted: 7/25/2008 5:20:43 AM | | This behaviour is disgusting and if it was my son there would be hell to pay believe me. This story should be highlighted due to the nature and reason of the assault not because of colour. It could cause problems between communities. | |

How does that describe anything other than a racist comment? | |

Posted: 7/25/2008 5:46:51 AM | | Instead of dealing with the issues surrounding the post of crime of stabbing but defect the point to see racism to make some cheap jibe because you would rather focus on that instead.an turn a blind eye regardless whether it was originated by white kids or black.theres a very serious problem with knife crime an it needs serious confronting an proper sentences. to see my post as racist because you choose to see it like that is your own issues not mine. | |

crime exists and is very prolific..
colour in this instance has nothing to do with the story at all...
its shocking that children are so out of control that they are having the nerve to commit crime like this, but with racists comments black kids are almost encouraged to misbehave, because that is almost wat is expected of them...
the only reason it would appear the police mentioned his colour was to give a description of who they were looking for....!!
EDIT...
Did they target a black woman or a white woman
and of course we dont know this so by only describing the boys as black we automatically make it into a race issue.. if the woman involved was black, then the fact the perpatrators were black gives less impact...
but then if both victim and perpatrators were black we can all then jump on the immigrant band wagon and really make this a race war .. cant we...?
the point is another knife crime ..

Poor comparison , we are discussing crime/criminals .

I passed a comment on your post not that one . The colour aspect was introduced in the OP as a quote from a police spokesman .
Your post asked "WHY mention a colour, would it be different if he were Caucasian?"
I responded.
colour in this instance has nothing to do with the story at all...
How do you know ? Did they target a black woman or a white woman ? Do you know something we dont? Were they racially motivated?
we can all then jump on the immigrant band wagon and really make this a race war .. cant we...?
Looks like the usual suspects already have . Another good thread deviating and hijacked onto racism "sigh"

Posted: 7/25/2008 6:42:14 AM | Ive just read that too
Did you see the article about the baby that was slashed too?
She was with her mum in her pram when her mum was punched in the face and stabbed in the forearm and the baby suffered a two inch cut to her upper arm
all because the yobs had a petty dispute with her boyfriend | |

Posted: 7/25/2008 7:12:07 AM | describing someone as black in a crime report is fair as calling them white, brown,mixed race or whatever is not much use
nothing racist about it, unless some liberal left winger.....
glad I don't smoke, but if I did and it happened on the platform.... | |

Perhaps not, but when it leads to .......
The parents of these scote black kids Or similar...........
That is where problems are encountered | |

Posted: 7/25/2008 8:17:08 AM | You seem to still pontificate about the racial thing,it said they were black,if they had been white i still would have said the same "scote kids" there should be
a 10 year mandatory sentence for carrying a knife,
automatic life sentence for using the same,
no cuddling the feral ! just hit them hard.
Iam sure in the darkest depths of this site are people who have been touched by knive crime an they iam sure wont be impressed with people who want to reward these so called feral kids , when the courts should show them the error of heir ways. | |

Posted: 7/25/2008 9:59:14 AM | | I think it was getting out of hand a long time before this and even though what the women went through is absolutely inexcusable (contrary to what Brown believes...), People have gone through a lot worse for a lot less and the sad fact is people will carry on getting knifed until the law is changed so that the punishment fits the crime...The message should be as simple as if you get caught with a knife, your going down! Not practical?.. Then build more friggen prisons! Unsightly?... I'd rather live next door to a prison than live in an area that requires kevlar to walk through! | |

Posted: 7/25/2008 10:11:03 AM | banging up children is not going to ease the problem of knife crime, heard the saying that prison is the 'university of crime'?
Its treating the symptons of an unjust society and not the causes. ecucation and investment is surely the way to go
Call me a leftie liberal if you will! | |
