    “We should respond to this with pure cold rage.”

    No. You’re adults and leaders. You can be angry but your response should be rational, not emotional.

    Even if it were a true statement, they had a man stabbed in the heart handcuffed rather than getting him immediate medical attention. Like WTF

    Even if the kid was an absolute turd, he didn’t deserve to be treated like that. Acab

      The man was specifically allowed to have a ceremonial dagger due to being a Sikh. The Sikh claimed he had been attacked over racial motives, which led the police to discount what the student was saying. So multiple parts of this were very much based on the man being Sikh. You couldn’t properly cover the story without mentioning the fact, so it’s not surprising it’s in the headline

        See this article contradicts others I’ve read where it’s said he used a different, longer blade for the attack and not the kirpan.

          Regardless of the tool, the person in question has killed an innocent human being. They must face justice like any other would for this misdeed.

        TIL, I thought they were symbolic and typically blunt, goes to show how good my RE was, or how little attention I paid. Not that it matters, this one was sharp enough to stab someone to death. Thanks for showing me something I was wrong about.

        My wiki research suggests it used to be a sword before the British, it would be ironic if it used to be a dagger before the British…

          TBF with sufficient force and/or velocity you can stab someone with a carrot. Would probably have to pick a softer spot, but still

      Tbh I was surprised he wasn’t Muslim. The headline I intiitally saw didn’t mention his faith but I saw the thumbnail and noticed the turban and was like hang on is he Sikh.

    Wonder if he gets to keep the murder weapon for use in prison.

    The absolute audacity of his family to cover for him and try to obstruct is insane.

        Theres that r-word again everyone is so afraid of that may have led to this kid’s death or at least led to him being handcuffed and his injuries ignored. How is anyone of any creed or color who pulls this kind of shit not worthless?
