Stick to your guns, man!
Stick to your guns, man!I maybe pressed the wrong emoji sorry to annoy
No it doesn't. You completely missed the point. I couldn't care less about his race religion sexuality or anything else, so please understand me and don't try to label it that way. I specifically picked upon the moronic racism before any details given and said about not wanting a racist row, my issue is with the press and not the lack of consistency, if you can't see that then you're picking a needless fight simply because you choose to see it that way.
Really disappointed in skybluepete for 'liking' it too, who I would have thought had seen enough of my posts and opinions to know how wide of the mark that is.
Not a conspiracy and I don't think it should matter or be informed whether its a PoC or not but I genuinely think it's fear of backlash, in contrast to when it isn't and they're much quicker to point that out and quell any suggestions.Am I missing the point? Because it sounds like you're saying there's a mainstream media conspiracy to cover up the persons ethnicity, and you think it should be public information immediately.

I might be wrong, it wouldn't be the first time just how I see it.
To be clear I've never known a right wing nutjob like anders brevik not to be white although of course they may exist.
I'm not sure if you're genuinely asking or trying to trip me up like a politician into something not said or implied, but I dont want this thread to be hijacked into something its not meant to be and should be about the incident and the families.
My last post on this one, so feel free to pull apart and suit whatever it is you want.
It’s just a nonsensical argument - if you seriously believe that media organisations try to play things down when a non-white person is accused of a crime like this, I can only assume you’re watching the news with very different expectations and preconceptions from my own.Not a conspiracy and I don't think it should matter or be informed whether its a PoC or not but I genuinely think it's fear of backlash, in contrast to when it isn't and they're much quicker to point that out and quell any suggestions.

Maybe things went wrong after we totally threw out any medieval approach to justice?You start with almost understanding that maybe mental health issues meant he needed help and end with the worst kind of medieval approach to vengeful justice
Bring your duelling pistolMaybe things went wrong after we totally threw out any medieval approach to justice?
Right, meet me on the common at dawn for some archery practice. Last one there's a smelly pig's bladder.

You ain’t going to like the answer but the people who have starved the NHS, mental health services, police and prison services of cash the last 14 years forcing cuts in services which in all honesty is amazing that there isn’t more cases like this as so many people with mental health issues fall through the cracks."Manslaughter"
Yet was involved in multiple incidents before going on a rampage.
So if he wasn't capable of controlling himself, who from the authorities is going down for murder for him being on the streets in the first place?
Ffs nutter goes crazy and Tony still makes it political.

The guy has paranoid schizophrenia which is a treatable illness. The fact is mental health services has had 20% (IIRC) cut to its budget under austerity. That forced other services to pick up the difference. That’s includes the police who had their own cuts including 10000 officers to deal with, the NHS who had cuts in real terms and the prison service which had cuts and now has overcrowded prisons not least due to taking up slack from cuts to mental health services. I’m not making it anything, those just happen to be the facts and austerity was a political choice. A failed one at that. However you want to measure it whether that’s on a spread sheet looking at numbers as it grew the debt both in terms of monetary and GDP and in terms of services as it turns out it’s far far cheaper to make sure people get healthcare in the community rather than bed blocking and cell blocking.Ffs nutter goes crazy and Tony still makes it political.

Given he killed 3 people I don’t feel your argument stacks up. He most definitely fell through the cracks. Might this have happened anyway? We’ll never know for sure will we but the facts are people with mental health issues bed block and cell block. Denying undeniable facts ain’t going to stop incidents like this from happening.Hardly fell through the cracks, did he?
Somebody should be doing time for murder, if he was signed off as well then whoever did it should be.
If he was told to be sectioned and he didn't, if he didn't take meds. It's murder.
There's no excuse.

This is exactly why you have care in the community, it monitors things like meds, it identifies things like flare ups in the condition that leads to incidents like this with or without meds leading them to be committed for their own and others sake. Mental health is not the black and white issue you’re trying to make it out to be. Are you seriously suggesting that such dramatic cuts to mental health services doesn’t effect people with mental health issues.Ok so if he's stopped taking his meds it should be murder.
If somebody has stopped his meds, get them in the dock.

That would be free market economics which lies at the heart of tory policy and philosophy. They support big business and freedom for them to choose and avoid regulating companies. So indirectly it would be the tory's who would play a big part in the reason/cause.If fruit pastels reduced a standard tube from 14 to 13 Tony would blame the cut on the Tories.

There was a warrant out for his arrest for months and the police never pursued it, it was even for assaulting a police officer. Not the sort of thing the police let slide. Are you seriously suggesting the political decision to cut police budgets and take 10,000 officers of the streets didn’t contribute to him still being on the street?This man violently murdered three people, it’s his fault and his fault alone. Taking the 'mental health services have been slashed' to try and win a political argument is pathetic. We all know things are stretched, but it's pretty clear from his records he was never interested in engaging with the support that was given to him. He certainly got a lot more than most people, some of whom would be crying out for that kind of help. This almost sympathy with him is beyond weird. As is the charge of manslaughter. It isn't 'diminished responsibility' if you refuse to take your medication or engage with the mental health services. If anything it should be the other way around.
'Let's just put it down to a mental health issue, blame anything but the criminal, and sweep it under the carpet' doesn't sit right with me at all.. The BBC news headlines and this thread would look a lot different in that case, as would your comments. No doubt you wouldn't be so quick to blame someone else.
He should never walk the streets again, and hopefully appropriate justice is given for the sake of the victims families.

He is a paranoid schizophrenic, a condition that’s almost always treatable. Are you seriously suggesting that the political decision to cut mental health services and lumber the NHS with cuts in all but name didn’t affect the treatment, or the lack of opportunity to treat him?
I can’t believe manslaughter has been acceptedIt's embarrassing how you can only see things based on your politics.
Can't be his fault at all. Must be an MP.
Did he himself pursue further help for his condition? If he didn't, it's murder.

On the run? It was Nottingham police who issued the warrant, he never left Nottingham. Maybe you have a different definition of being on the run .To confirm. If somebody is on the run from police and they commit a crime. It isn't their fault, it's because of police cuts?

Not his fault.There was an arrest warrant against him and he refused his medication
