It's perfectly fine if you want to bow out but since you've made a point here, I think I should be allowed to respond to that before I bow out also

I can't see how you can compare this article which is simply describing the criminal and your post in the last thread which was basically assuming that most crimes are committed by foreign nationals. Also, the last article made reference to the persons appearance/skin colour too and not a single person in that thread had a problem with that.
