Newsdesk Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Just now, manxfisherman said: It's not a 'straight quote'. It pretty much is. The mother is on record as trying to say that racism was the reason why her son was convicted. Rather than he raped a woman at gunpoint. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like what on earth is the thought process that goes through what passes as you brain that makes you think that this is in any way a comment worth posting? Good grief. It’s a quote from the news report. Edited October 11, 2022 by Asthehills 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manxfisherman Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Here is the bit from the news report "Wood’s mother who was watching from the public gallery, as her son was led away from the dock, shouted: “My son is there because he’s black. You are all against my son because he is black.”" So the comment was not a direct quote was it. Fucks sake. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you are correct that’s exactly what was originally reported. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ask myself then what is the benefit to anyone to replicate it on here, What purpose does it serve? I respect Stu's opinion on anything's but really if he feels anything about it then there is a place for him to voice it. If my representative had posted this I would be questioning the motive and seeking an explanation. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manxfisherman Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 (edited) Does it say he's a lovely boy? Edited October 11, 2022 by manxfisherman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of the day the report validates that she tried to blame her son’s rape activities on racism. That’s all Stu was picking up on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apple Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 A horrendous crime, everyones nightmare I would dare to suggest. As a father, grandfather, husband I find the description of what happened very difficult to make sense of. I can only try and imagine the distress of the all relatives involved having had to listen to the details in court which must have been the worst thing imaginable and impossible to comprehend. For the media to seize on that particular quote does not demonstrate integrity. For an elected representative to echo it could arguably show the same. Maybe it's me that is wrong. Its only my opinion. Sorry if I have offended anyone. 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's as bad a post as Stu's and you are lucid enough to actually know what you are posting........... Being racist is never clever, or funny, as I am sure you were trying to be. I really don't think that you, OBS, are racist? Edited October 11, 2022 by Boris Johnson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
