Kidnap/ murder up here
 

I don't know if any of you in the rest of the UK will have heard of this but it's all over the news here.

Anyways a 15 year old boy, for no apparent reason, was bundled into a car on monday afternoon and found beat to death yesterday afternoon behind a Celtic supporters club just outside celtic park.

I can't imagine much a 15 year old could get upto to be in that kind of trouble or deserve anything like that

BUT i'd like to point out that it was 5 Asian guys who kidnapped him. Now the news aren't reporting this at all, just sayign 5 guys, but does anyone else get the feeling if it was an Asian boy that got kidnapped by 5 white guys it would be plastered all over the place as a racially motiviated attack?



The whole thing sickens me really but that's exactly what I think would happen if it was the other way around.

It's awful news. Seems the world isn't that save anymore these days

yes

maybe they were Celtic fans and he was Rangers fan....


But i think you are right...but NOT if it happened in ASIA...no!

Yup I agree too. In fact if It was an Asian boy who was killed I bet it would have been much more well documented like the Stephen Lawrence case was and the death of that black 10 year old lad who was killed in Peckham, I forget his name.

Can this really be compared to Stephen Lawrence though??
I agree though with your original point though Jim.

Well a teenager was killed for no apparent reason, by a gang of people of a different race to him. Wasnt that the same with Stephen Lawrence??

I guess, but I thought there was more to the Stephen Lawrence case.. can't really remember now..

Yes but that fact you even know about Stephen Lawrence shows how well documented it was. Dont get me wrong it was a very sad case, and yeh still no-one has been brought to justice for his murder. But, if no-one catches the Killer of this lad in Scotland, It wont get the media coverage that the Lawrence case got.

Personally I don't think the world has ever been safe.
