Murder of 87 year old in the street

Ealing is a pretty nice area dude and is considered one of the best parts of London to live due to the leafy suburbs and excellent transport links

One maniac stabbing someone to death doesn't suddenly turn it into a dump, well maybe it does if you are a horrendous reactionary...
Yeah exactly. Although to be fair when I say Ealing I mean Ealing Broadway, Ealing Common, Northfields, North and South Ealing which are all very desirable and expensive areas. The borough of Ealing actually comprises seven major towns: Acton, Ealing, Greenford, Hanwell, Northolt, Perivale and Southall. Most of them are not so nice (I've never liked Acton), but I wouldn't class them as particularly dangerous.
 
I don't see it mentioned anywhere as yet, but I think this is the same person, as the date 2011 ties up with his current age: https://www.richmondandtwickenhamti...llers-in-richmond-three-times-in-five-months/

I just came here to post the same thing. I think it is indeed the same person as the ages match up and he would be out of prison by now. The motive might also be related to the original armed robbery. Apparently the robbery was stopped when a pensioner (then aged 84) tacked one of the armed robbers. Obviously this isn't the same pensioner but it could be a motive for stabbing an elderly man.

The resident's meeting yesterday, with the police suggests they have been concerned with street crime and drug dealing for a long time. but the police are under criticism for not tackling it, or indeed even responding to reports of it.

I think the same would be said at any resident's meeting to be fair! I'm not bothered to defend the area, rather just comment on the usual "oh London is such a cesspit" comments that you get in these threads.

It wasn't a leafy part of Ealing, in fact it wasn't Ealing at all. The road in Greenford where this man was stabbed is between Southall (where the killer came from) and Wembley - which are both utter dumps.
 
It’s plainly obvious that this piece of filth has no place in society or ever will.

Whole life order please, he’s clearly beyond any hope of rehabilitation

Or until he is too frail to get about other than in a mobility scooter.
 
We feel your pain. If only there was less tolerance in the world...

Somewhat ironically you have hit a chord. Why should the world be tolerant of the Taliban or Isis or Putin or Xi?

Organisations and individuals that should be extended no tolerance along with their fellow travellers, irredeemable criminals, scammers of people weaker than themselves.

Up with those we should not put as the saying nearly goes. Tolerance is a two way street, the guy stabbing his fellow citizen in the street is not being very tolerant and deserves none of mine.

Let's make it as simple as possible, in general terms tolerance is good, intolerance is bad. This does not mean that we should tolerate intolerance!

At the risk of Godwining the thread, rational people don't say that we should all tolerate the views of (say) Nazi extremists, but that the people who hold those views are wrong because they are so intolerant.

So let's make it even more simple, are you saying that tolerating the intolerable isn't a great thing? In which case (and moving away from Godwin), where is your line - should indiscriminate stabbings/murders be tolerated?
 
I am not sure why you direct me to some mixed race singer wearing beads, on YouTube, I haven't the slightest intention of devoting time to such things, I have had a belly full of being driven towards inclusivity and tolerance.

We all know you are very open about being a racist **** but to say you're put off from listening to a song because the singer isn't white is a new hilarious low even for you :cry:

And btw, the video wasn't even for you, but in reply to Tony's post, hence the bit where I quoted Tonys post, posted the video then made my reply to him ;)
 
Absolutely despicable crime, made worse by the previous conviction. A long custodial sentence is the least he deserves.

The very post I replied to is an example of someone excusing the animal, it suggests inflation of all things as the reason for the stabbing to death of a frail old gentleman resorting to busking to make a few bob, on a mobility scooter, for God's sake....

In what way was the post you replied to excusing the crime?

The other poster didn’t say that this specific crime was a result of the cost of living crisis. They didn’t say that the suspect in this case “couldn’t afford to live”. They simply said that as the COLC bites, they expect crime to increase.

And they would be right — when the economy tanks, crime increases; especially robbery, burglary, muggings etc. If those crimes involve weapons, it’s plausible that murder/manslaughter rates will also increase.

That’s not excusing or justifying those crimes, it’s just a fact.

There is no law in the UK preventing anyone choosing what or who they watch based on the performer's race, creed, colour, religion or dress, and I embrace this freedom comprehensively and unapologetically :) To have preferences based on race is something I have never hidden nor apologised for, and never will apologise for, nor do I see any reason for anyone else to. It's no more unnatural nor wrong than any other personal preference.
