Well, if I was attacked by three people and had something on my that could be used as a weapon, I'd have used it too.

Better to be in court than to be on a slab.

[royfromaus]

I would imagine anyone would but why can one person carry a weapon capable of killing with impunity just because of his religious beliefs?

I am being discriminated against because I'm not religious...I would like the same right as a Sikh to carry a killing implement.

[MrChong]

Its the color thats not why the issue is become. Racialism is illegal in the uk

[Mozz71]

I wasn't aware of the item before this incident so I'm not in a position to either condemn or defend the knife in ceremonial dress, but the fact that nothing like this has been reported (to my knowledge) in the past, would mean that this is a rare exception to the rule, and these are not used for aggressive purposes.

[royfromaus]

You don't think a Sikh has used his ceremonial knife for anything other than its intended purpose?

Sikhs are humans...just like me.

[douglas9401]

You could say the same for carrying any weapon though, Mozz.

[Mozz71]

Depends on the intent of carrying it Douglas. If it's decorative, then there's a lot of difference between it and something intended as a weapon.

The question should be would he had used it like this had he not been attacked by a gang of four thugs, and seemingly coshed on the head with a hammer.

If the answer is no, then it was purely a case of self defense.

[royfromaus]

If it's decorative, then there's a lot of difference between it and something intended as a weapon.

Decorative?
It's killed 3 people in 13 seconds?

//Decorative?

It saved the life of the fella who had it. Moral of the story: don't attack a Sikh.

[royfromaus]

He was attacked by Sikhs.
Clearly, you are in favour of discrimination, Mozz...don't bleat about discrimination in future.


It appears despite knowing very little about this man some ABers think he is some sort of superhero.

[barry1010]

Does anyone know for a fact that he used his kirpan?

[royfromaus]

I don't think we know where he got the knife from.

If it was his kirpan...does that make it alright?

[royfromaus]

Pretty rich coming from one of the biggest critics of diversity and acceptance on AB.

I'm off out now sporting my simple sword of truth.

Should I be surrounded by armed police at any point I'll steer them in the direction of the Self Defence Of Illegal Immigrants Act that has obviously been sneaked in with no fanfare at all, and the discrimination it shows toward us natives.

"scene in Wilt by Tom Sharpe
are you inferring I am an idiot?

No I have done that - I am implying you are an idiot"

Unwittingly used that at work, back in the 90s (so might have been a memory of Sharpe's brilliant lines).

Ken said to me "Are you inferring that I am an idiot."

Me. "Well, my first impulse was to correct your English, but on second thoughts you were right in the first place."

Hello Peter.

Dodgy ground there, royfrom.

[barry1010]

roy, it would worry me if it was his kirpan. All the Sikhs I know wear small, blunt kirpans in fancy sheaths around their waists under their clothes as a symbol of their faith, unless they are attending a special ceremony in all their finery.

It has mentioned several times on this thread that it was his kirpan so I just wondered where they got that information from

[bednobs]

I too am v disappointed this thread is not about zombies

Barry, if it was his kirpan he shouldn't have walked free because the kirpan was obviously far from small and blunt.

The only way he should have walked is if he did take a knife from the attacker.
