Can We Just Stop With This Nonsense.

the attacker as in his 30s or 40s, with short, dark, curly hair, a tanned complexion and a short beard.

a tanned complexion For Funks Sake

It doesn’t lead to much “social cohesion” on Answerbank.

Using the description 'tanned' is ridiculous and anyone defending it is either conditioned or an idiot or both IMO.

The police do seem to have taken an unusually long time to put out the cctv image...perhaps they hoped to catch him before that was necessary?

Also as every time I looked at the story for an update I was met by this one

Perhaps they didn't want to publish his picture because the public would think there is a rape culture of epidemic proportions still happening.

Fingers in your ears folks.

OK, so the general theory is that the police let certain racial or religious groups get away with certain quite nasty crimes, like rape, for the purposes of social cohesion.

And this specific case, claiming somebody had a tanned skin, was yet another example of this happening.

Is that correct?

[-Talbot-]

It is a FACT that the police, politicians and social workers HAVE let certain racial or religious groups get away with certain quite nasty crimes, like rape.


Repeat FACT

Did you know bush blew up the world trade centre? Anyone who disagrees is either conditioned or an idiot or both IMO. I've said it so that's how it is.

[spathiphyllum]

Talbot ellipsis has ask'd naomi for an example and one has failed to be provided.

[spathiphyllum]

ioronic it's the same police force but separate papers and the difference in story.. Maybe the papers are aiming for social cohesion and not the police??

[Ellipsis]

Let's say it was a fact. Is it still a fact?

i.e. this specific case, claiming somebody had a tanned skin, is yet another example of this continuing to happen. Is that what you're saying?

Christian Asia Bibi has been refused a home in this country, the reason given that her presence would likely provoke social unrest; recently the European Court of Human Rights (to its eternal shame in my opinion) upheld an Austrian ruling on a trumped up blasphemy charge for the same reason; we’ve been told countless times that various Muslim terrorists are suffering from mental illness – and now we have a rapist who is clearly of foreign descent being described as ‘tanned’. What abject nonsense. How long the powers that be can continue to shove the ever-growing problem under the carpet remains to be seen, but whilst people continue to wallow in denial it will continue.

[spathiphyllum]

"who is clearly of foreign descent"

Is that how you would have preferred him to be described?

[-Talbot-]

Without the cctv image, this man would not have been identified using the 'tanned' description.

I would be looking for a white man who looks like he has been in the sun or a salon.

That is what I'm saying.

[spathiphyllum]

he could even identify as a woman....

[naomi24]

spath, I would have preferred a description that more accurately reflected the truth.

[spathiphyllum]

and the point of it all... What exactly IS the truth, and who knows it?

[naomi24]

spath, the truth is that isn't a tan he's sporting.

[spathiphyllum]

and the report never said he was tanned. They said he had a tanned complexion, complexion means 'natural colour'


Which, IMO, he does. Did you want them to say "he's also got a beard and we're gonna assume he's a Muslim, but he may not be, but lets assume he is" ??

Tanned means something that started off a certain shade, but got darker. It's the wrong word to use in this context, unless of course they know that his complexion used to be lighter than it was before the time he committed the offence.
