this is horrible yes, but we'll see what we will get to know from the investigation maybe this was something personal who knows, i mean setting someone alight makes me think into that direction either, because normal homophobic attacks usually is more physical beating, kicking cases like this have happened here in my nation too (not to gay people specifically but whenever there was a personal vendetta or conflict)

Its a debate forum so yes they will have different views and so people can also challenge those views and say they don't agree with it

if indeed a homophobic attack then yes it is disgusting but if another motive, then still disgusting since it is an attack against a key worker i personally don't really see Latvia as a homophobic nation but tbh you have homophobes everywhere in the world i think, just in some countries more than in others

Gay paramedic burnt alive in "homophobic attack". Just as it is in EVERY media report. It is done this way so as not to mislead. It is a journalistic rule and its one that we should adhere to. imo |

I don't understand what you mean? So you are saying if someone says something I don't agree with, I cannot say I don't agree with it? Everything is people's opinion and how they deal with things is different but that's what causes the debate aspect surely?

I think people have jumped the gun on this thread and making something out of nothing regarding attitude. Newspaper articles have stipulated that 'suicide' was being investigated thats all...but quite probably this wasnt the case. People mentioning this are merely quoting newspaper reports and by no means downplaying or disrespecting what happened to this poor man.

You don't have to comment on other threads to make your opinion in this thread valid, not seeing or responding to certain threads doesn't make the fact that a cavalier attitude (and in some cases, denial of the nature of this attack) any less tasteless. It's not a competition, stop trying to make it so by comparing the two incidents and keeping note of who posts in different threads like it somehow diminishes what they have to say, because it doesn't. It's just an incredibly lazy way of trying to bat aside views you don't like. |

You are not disagreeing though you are more or less judging levels of empathy, we read about horrifying events every day, some create more of a reaction than others it doesn’t mean that he didn’t die a horrendous death either by his own hand or something more sinister, pointing out people should have more empathy isn’t going to make it happen

I’m a bit confused by the reports on it, just read that a disgruntled neighbour set him alight, but in the same article that he had been brought to suicide so it’s unclear

This forum is so messed up.
People getting attacked for posting sympathy for a man who was set alight and killed. Look at yourselves.

It did not happen. It's a shut down
As isxa lot of posts that don't accept that this is at the moment allegation The narrative is it's a fact and I'm sure that is correct but it's an allegation And to pretend otherwise is one very, very slippery slope Still the thread title is wrong Nothing has been done about it Make of that what you will... |

I know discrimination happens here but I’d like to think the police would do a full investigation still. Makes me feel so lucky to live here. RIP
