Wow that site is completely unusable
Even if the kid was an absolute turd, he didn’t deserve to be treated like that. Acab
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
18 year old. A kid really, not a man.
Is there any reason to include that the man was Sikh in the headline besides Sikhphobia?
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.
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
Well the murder weapon was literally a kirpan, so I guess that could be relevant.
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.
The knife used doesn’t look like the typical ceremonial 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…
Disgusting, filth. Wonder if he gets to keep his holy murder weapon in prison
