It's all kicking off

[Jimmy Higgins]

The trial of UK native Southport killer Axel Rudakubana has concluded. This is the young man that went into a Taylor Swift themed dance class and stabbed three young girls to death before people were able to step in and tackle him;

When this atrocity was first reported there seemed to be a cover up or whitewashing of the perpetrator which resulted in massive riots in various parts of the country.

Sounds like a polite way of saying "far-right people who are obsessed over race and identity over-reacted and did stupid shit" to make what was already a dreadfully awful crime even worse. It wasn't the grieving families who would understandably be distraught, it was a bunch of unconnected angry white people with political agendas who absorb too much tabloid media.

His actual mugshot is the face of evil. Rudakabana is obviously a mental case but the hoops the MSM and the Starmer Labor government try to obscure and lie about what is going on is ridiculous.

And here is the thing... he was held accountable for his crime. There was justice. You seem to be whining about the press not being prejudicial in its reporting while you are also normalizing white hissy fit mobbing.

The TDS is strong in this one.

You wish that would get a reaction and distract people from your intellectual bankruptcy. But your inability to address salient points is so glaring that it still takes center stage.
Yes, your boy can be observed to disregard the rule of law, no TDS involved.

No doubt about it that we will see an increase in public hysteria -- and it will be whipped up by thuggish pols like our own dear leader, a man who is remarkably free of the burden of having a conscience. He has blamed immigrants for the FEMA funding gap (to the degree there was a gap), the mortality rates of Ohio's cats and dogs, and the New Orleans truck attack.
Of course, just witness his actions this week to gauge how much he cares about the rule of law.

Congratulations, that gets you off the hook for responding to four allegations I made about your hero -- things he did, all on the public record. But somehow I'm deranged. Apply at once to the WH, you may have the qualifications they're looking for.

Insufficient vacuity. Swiz actually has a sense of humor.

If you are STILL going on about Trump then you are suffering from a really, really bad dose of TDS. Why you would bring up Trump in a thread about a mass murder in Southport, England shows just how bad the TDS is.

Good luck.

The Daily Mail, as usual.

Most of what passes for news these days, particularly on the right wing, is not information, so much as it is invitations to outrage.

The Mail in particular falls over itself to tell its readers how they must feel about a story.

Southport killer Axel Rudakubana was today sentenced to life with a minimum of 52 years for the murder of three young girls during his monstrous attack on a Taylor Swift themed dance class. The violence-obsessed 18-year-old cowardly refused to face his victim's families, remaining in his cell as the judge handed down his sentence

The words I have bolded don't belong in any news report. The reader should be permitted to decide for themselves what emotional response they have, and how extreme it should be.

Oh...I thought the thread was about the start of the NFL preseason, silly me.

I was thinking footy or soccer too.

When this atrocity was first reported there seemed to be a cover up or whitewashing of the perpetrator which resulted in massive riots in various parts of the country. Details about the suspect that were reported in the MSM were vague while online chatter was a lot more specific. As details about the suspect started to become common knowledge in the communities, the MSM continued to obscure the details showing suspect Rudakabana as saintly young boy in a school uniform. His actual mugshot is the face of evil. Rudakabana is obviously a mental case but the hoops the MSM and the Starmer Labor government try to obscure and lie about what is going on is ridiculous.

The reality is that the news will tend to go with the pictures the family provides. I wouldn't read much into what they use if they don't have more recent high quality pictures. There's also the fact that police photos will tend to be optimized for information rather than appearance. A single flash creates harsh light which generally doesn't look good--photographers generally use multiple lights for this very reason. (A single source right at the camera would not have this problem--but that's not possible. There's always an offset between the lens and the light and that will create harsh shadows in the direction opposite of the flash offset.)
