'Man stabbed to death in chip row:
A man stabbed to death by a passenger who had thrown chips around on a bus did not provoke the attack, say police.'

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/4733097.stm

Definately a mental case lunatic. Its a shame becuase its a catch 22 situation. I mean when your with your girlfreind, you gotta be the 'guardian' do'n you. What do you do now when someone is throwing chips at your girlfreinds head??

It doesnt appear to be as news worthy as a black man getting stabbed by whites

That story was big in the papers today and i also saw it on bbc news,so it wasnt ignored. They should put the lunatic with the axe and the headcase throwing chips together in a room give them both a weapon and let them beat each other to death,save the rest of us grief from these animals.

My point is the colour of the attacker in this incident was never mentioned on the news once only a begrudging acknowlegdement in the papers.

Good idea. We should bring back roman blood sports like the gladiators of yore so we can much on pop corn and place bets as they club each others brains in.

I would bet on black winning because he must have been more idiotic to do what he did. The white guy needed back up. I'll change the odds if he has the two arse holes with him though.

colour wasn't mentioned because it had no bearing on this case

King Pin

The attacker in this case was black, however all the evidence points to the direction of a insane lunatic raher than a bunch of vicoius racists. Both of these stories have made the news and both are equally heinous. Lets stop being particular about the labelling of the crimes.

Whilst on the one hand I do feel King Pin is being nitpicky, on the other I have to ask is he really?

Yes, the Liverpool attack was racially motivated, but who is to say the bus one wasn't either...it was black on white. The race angle is excused because apparently this guy is a care-in-the-community mentaller, but in contrast, is it really the behaviour of a sane man to bury an axe in the skull of a fellow human being?

Though the Liverpool attack was ultimately a matter of race, I do have to wonder what would have happened if there wasn't a convenient ethnic minority around...would some unsuspecting white lad now be dead? Whilst not a 'premeditated' attack in the purest sense of the word, one can only assume the idiots involved were hoping to find some trouble, and if not, start some of their own. An axe, however small, is still a hefty piece of kit, much larger, heavier and more conspicuous than a knife, so I don't think one of them was carrying it for self-defence 'in case there was trouble', but rather because they had a hard-on to use it.

I hope they get what's coming to them.....

Well said Dan G,

However the facts of the Bus attack are that the maniac was throwing food around at everybody, most of whom left the bus or went downstairs. After 15minutes or so of enduring food misiles this poor fellow took the gung-ho mentallity and decided to approach the nutcase, with fatal consequences.


The facts of the lad in Liverpool are; The lad was waiting for a bus with his white girlfried when a group of young intimidating louts decided to hurl racial abuse at him. Now he took the other route and tried to walk to another bus stop and get away from them. They however, managed to get an axe and follow this kid to subsquently smash his head in half. Now race is a very very senstive issue and can drive a lot of passion, zeal and emotion from people, equally you need a lot of zeal to smash gather an axe ad smash someone over the head with it.

As I said both were henious, but the first attack seems like the actions of a mental case, whislt the second act is basically the work of a gang of cowardly racist thugs.

I think with the liverpool incident it's unwise for anyone, including the police i might add, to label it a 'racist murder' until those responsible have at least been put on trial and the full facts set down. If nothing else all this specualtion about the motives might prejudice the jury and let the perpetrators walk, which nobody want's.
