Popular Post mjmooney Posted December 7, 2018 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted December 7, 2018 I may get slated for this, but that bullying case with the Syrian refugee kid is completely over the top. Let me be clear: I loathe racism and bullying of any kind. And I believe we should show kindness and hospitality to people fleeing war zones. But I've seen the footage. He was pushed over and had some water poured over him. Basically, a daily occurrence among boys that age when I was at school. There are always a few little shits who like to throw their weight around at that age. It happened to me, and I can't put my hand on my heart and say I didn't do it to others. It's part of growing up. He wasn't injured in any way, it was not 'hate crime', it was not a matter for an already overstretched police force. It should have been dealt with, promptly, by the school authorities. But now we have kids threatened with a criminal record, tens of thousands of pounds being raised by crowdfunding (happy days for his parents, I guess), Americans offering to fly him out to the States for self-defence classes, and a media frenzy that I'll bet the poor kid himself finds excruciating. It's totally out of proportion. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's totally out of proportion. Agree with you on this MJ. It takes the piss somewhat and like you say the crowdfunding reached well over £150k. He was pushed in the playground ffs! Yet, We have people in the UK living homeless etc. and sod all gets done for those folk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Seat68 Posted December 7, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 7, 2018 So the toerag that did a bit of amateur waterboarding. It was not just a bit of school bullying, him and his family have been found to be racist shits. The boy that was bullied had been targeted previously. This was a hate crime, it was a racist thug being a racist thug. Not playground bullying, the guy was targeted and the arsehole poured water on his face to imitate waterboarding. The money raised is because people wanted to stick two finger up to the racist words removed that the toerag and his family support. Good on them. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have started doing bits on the homeless front Limpid since September, initially getting a better understanding of the scale first off. But I always try and do my bit for good causes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand what @mjmooney is saying and I probably saw worse things happen at school than that video shows in isolation, but the context and whole story surrounding it makes it a little more sickening. Wan't his broken arm from a previous attack too? May be mistaken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can put things in the oven and boil a bit of veg if I’m pushed, but that’s about it. I have advanced from the microwave stage though. My wife is good at cooking, and I’m brilliant at eating it.
