This lad was on ITV1 London
and BBC1 London.


If you are Gay acting in Brixton
watch you back.


"We were being quite affectionate to each other, kissing, holding hands... and then suddenly
from nowhere this guy just came and sprayed something directly in my eyes."

Even though Cameras got their faces
The Police said he is waiting for Witnesses?



If you are Gay

...that’s not actually true, Arista...I have relatives who live in Brixton ...and one of those is gay...and he hasn’t had any issues through his life...

[parmnion]

Ah...thank you arista....this news story inspired my what do people blame for the rise of homophobic hate crime..

[Ammi]

...a really terrifying experience for them both.....I hope those who attacked them are brought to justice...and that the couple get all the support they’ll need after their attack...

[parmnion]

Just to add, I've been to Brixton on a sunny afternoon had a nice McDonald's at the main junction that goes about 4 different ways at the lights..then a nice pint in the pub next door....


But I wouldn't go now, when it's getting dark..

I would be scared I would be attacked for being white.

...yeah, strangely he lived there at night time as well...just because this happened in Brixton, doesn’t mean that its what represents Brixton, which is what you suggested...behave yourself, Arista...you know better...

In the article quoted and two others it does not state the race of the attackers but you have 'Black gang' as the first word in your amended thread title. Why do you believe the race is important that you've added it to the articles title?

I think it's in relevent, I think everyone puts these hate crimes down to the right wing, but it's not..

When I was a kid about the same age as these kids in the story there was hardly any hate crime...but now, it's risen dramatically in the last five years...a rise of almost 10 percent..perhaps this story contradicts the assumption that the right is responsible..


Also, to pop back to brexit and how the old people should shut up and let the youth make the decision...is this the youth of today?

Cause it wasn't like this in my youth. ....far far from it in fact.

In instances where this kind of attack is being blamed on the right wing it is stated in the article. The race has been added. I have no idea why so I'm asking

We can work that out by looking at other articles - not the one you linked though. Why add it?

That makes sense..

A gang of youths would have been better...let the viewer make thier own mind up.

[parmnion]

But...


If it's a homophobic attack, and that is ok to say..and it's ok to mention that the victims were gay...why can't people describe the attackers how they see fit?

OK Ifs that what you're saying then thats what you're saying. Still very odd that you put it upon yourself to give us this extra information.

...stating their race is irrelevant and unnecessary, Arista...is what Girth is saying....?...the story is the pepper spray attack and that was carried out because of the people they are../..their character...race is irrelevant to that...

[arista]

Their Faces were shown on Local TV News


Its the Truth.

[Ammi]

...with a homophobic attack, it’s completely relevant that the victims are gay...because it’s exactly describing the nature of the attack...with this story, there appears no relevance at all to what happened, to state the race of the attackers...

[Alf]

I told you the same thing happened a few days ago with the girl who lied about having her dreadlocks cut off

I said that the media labelled them "White Boys" when the believed the story, and when they was retracting the story, they were just "boys"

Nobody said anything about that when I mentioned it.

...that wasn’t the point, Arista and you know it...avoid it if you will, that’s your choice...but you absolutely know what point was being made and how unnecessary it was to state the race of the attackers...
