hard2miss Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 I know, I'm saying how it's funny that yours and Frank's mysterious amnesia always comes down on the side of the racists. Funny that, innit? What's funny is how I was a liar 2 minutes ago, now I'm just defending racists. You have spent a good part of the day trying to get an argument out of a none issue. Reading is the easy part, its the understanding that takes some work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferno Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I don't suppose you've any evidence of that...? Anyway, I've wasted enough time on you..bye..

ferno Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Now thats what I said. Where am I lying ? The highlighted parts show it is my opinion, where is anything stated as fact ? I Say:I remember the killing of Steven Laurence been all over the news from the off, even though there was no witnesses to say it was racially motivated and was up to the the Police to actually prove it was. What news reports are you thinking of? You remember all the newspaper articles you read fifteen years ago, or are you posting made-up lies?

Frank Sidney Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I know, I'm saying how it's funny that yours and Frank's mysterious amnesia always comes down on the side of the racists. Funny that, innit? Dunno about hard2miss but my opinion is formed without getting emotionally involved and not being swayed by others opinions, just looking at the facts.. I don't know how many times I have to say that the killers deserve life for such a horrible crime... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Sidney Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Yes, the evidence I just posted and the statements of the witnesses you claimed don't exist. Bye! But why is that racist? I mean it this time, bye..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still reading it, but it shows the people of the Laurence murder as a racist crime (read the small news print) as I somewhat remember it. I will read the PDF and post further on it, but its interesting to see that this talks of there being an 'Ideal victim'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferno Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I'm still reading it, but it shows the people of the Laurence murder as a racist crime (read the small news print) as I somewhat remember it. This sentence makes no sense. What are you talking about? Your link has nothing to do with your claims, are you losing it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hard2miss Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 Not all crime victims receive equal attention in the news media. Occasionally, intense media coverage may be devoted to victims who can be discredited on the basis of, for example, a criminal, promiscuous or otherwise questionable past. More often, however, media resourses are allocated to the representation of those victims who can be portrayed as ‘ideal’. Christie (1986: 18) describes the ‘ideal victim’ as ‘a person or category of individuals who – when hit by crime – most readily are given the complete and legitimate status of being a victim’. This group includes those who are perceived as vulnerable, defenceless, innocent and worthy of sympathy and compassion. http://www.uk.sagepub.com/stout/greer_news_media%20-%20vic_crime_soc.pdf This can account for the differential between reports, it is probably down to this. It makes some sense to me. Being a White majority may not always fit the bill of being 'worthy of sympathy' as it says. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am ignoring you, you have done nothing but try deflect the topic and start argument in aid to getting it closed down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
