So no mention of mental illness, although reported elsewhere that he's an alcoholic.

Happy to concede that he wasn't mentally ill, if you can admit it's not a racist attack because he's not white.

Well it does, and it doesn't - Not being of diminished responsibility, doesn't mean that your not mentally ill. The grounds of 'insanity defences' were changed from being mentally ill during the 80s I think, due to public and political pressure, which had seen 'serious crimes' ending up in 'cushy psychiatric detentions'.

As such, someone can suffer from extreme mental illness and be found guilty of crimes, because their actions are not the function of a diminished capacity for self control (ie the perpetrator knew what they were doing, or could understand that it was wrong, rather than being the direct product of a psychotic break from reality - i.e. crazy). A result of this, is that far more people with acute and dangerous mental health issues enter the prison system rather than psychiatric treatment. A notable case of profile is with serial killers who typically have personality disorders (which are not recognised as diminished responsibility for an insanity defence).

And this sort of interracial violence is something that is now common place in glorious multi cultural Britain.

We now have a record number of "races" and religions just queuing up to hate each other.

Well done government.

Have you got figures for this and would they be free from massage anyway?
This country has a history of importing labour from places with different religions and culture that results in friction. The ruling classes could not care less about the repercussions as long as they make more money. Nothing changes. It used to be the migrating Irish Catholics, now there are turf wars going on all over Europe between rival gangs of immigrants.

By friction, you mean violence typically by natives directed at migrants - or is this also the fault of people legally going about their day.

Also by immigrant, you mean ethnic groups - who may not be immigrants, but decendants of immigrants.

Also what about gang violence throughout history which has typically been motivated not by ethnicity, but by income. Gangs tend to divide along lines of association (race, family, ethnicity, religion) based more on loyality. Also such gangs are notorious for predatation on their own groups first, and only a wider spectrum when they operate outside of ethnic groups typically ignored by the police.

My friends within minorities seem to have a lot more experience of violence, threats and abuse from whites, than I have had from minorities.

In fact despite living in Reading (very ethnically diverse) and working in Slough for 10 years, I can think of only two incidents which come close, both related to the girlfriend I was with - but I also got grief for that from white people too.

Generally I think the 'friction' is really an excuse perpetuated by people who are generally c**ts to justify being c**ts. Everyone else generally seems to get along, except the people with an issue or chip on their shoulder.
