No one mentions that poor innocent Henry antagonised the guy in the run up. You see a guy openly carrying a knife in London, why would you antagonise them? If he'd kept his mouth shut, he'd probably be alive now. What happened is unfortunate, for both Henry and his murderer, who both lost their lives senselessly.
However, what were the police supposed to do differently exactly? He died within 4 hours according to reports. They tried to get him help but it was too late. The killer got life in prison. I'm not seeing what the outrage is really about besides white boy gets killed by a POC and the POC tried to claim it was a racial attack even though that didn't really change anything.
To me, the whole outrage is coming across like "how dare one of them kill a white boy." Would we be having the same hullabaloo if Henry was black?
Bootlicker logic
No, not getting stabbed logic. You actually don't have to make unnecessary comments at people carrying knives and that's good actually lmao
The case wouldn't even have made it past local news
not handcuff him and let him bleed out
Apparently they called an airlift for him. Did anyone testify that his death was a result of the police's actions? Because it sounds to me like it was already too late.
there's bodycam of it i dont know why you're lying to defend the pigs
Oh shut the fuck up, I'm not "lying to defend the pigs," I'm just not following the outrage machine like you. I read the court reports which said they had to airlift him out. I don't care about your dead cracker one way or another.
oink oink pig boy
He wasn't even in London. You haven't followed the story at all.
The video shows he was likely accosted in the night, back talked, and then his phone taken. His killer is obviously a sociopath in some capacity and was in all likelihood the instigator. Yeah, Henry should've left it, but he's still completely innocent.
What were police meant to do differently??? Watch the video. He said he'd been stabbed and they ignored him multiple times, saying 'sure you did mate'. They then didn't do a proper medical survey and HANDCUFFED HIM WHILE HE SAID HE WAS BLEEDING OUT. He said he couldn't breathe, and said 'call an ambulance' a few times. The lies about racism contributed to their dismissal of his claims, because they painted Henry as a racist attacker - and they therefore didn't believe he had the injuries of a victim. The false claims played a direct role in his death.
As to the outrage - to be sure, the underlying cause of the outrage by the rioters and far right is POC on white violence - but the source of outrage for the entire rest of the country is the horrific police failure, and the weaponisation of anti racism. It's such a clear cut case that actually, I do think much of the country would be just as outraged if Henry was black, and you might even have larger protests because it would come under the same banner as George Floyd.
