    Surely this is in the realm of "suing someone because you injured yourself burgling their house"?

    And to make things much worse, Jersey annihilated AFC Croydon last night in their own ends. South London is finished.

    Whilst there are some racial sensitivity issues going on here, this is something that is going on up and down the country. It has been caused - once again - by the police being an underfunded, under-resourced, over-paperworked Mental Health Support Service. They have no ability to tackle crime, so they've essentially started decriminalisation of... erm... crime. Shoplifting was a quick win.

    Officer, she's stolen that!
    Does it cost less than £200?

    Fin.

    So yeah, do what you want, you probably won't get caught and if you do, nevermind, we'll let you off with a warning this time. And the next time. And about 10 further times. Then you get a fine.

    This same shit happened in America (doesn't it always?) and they now have whole communities without access to supermarkets because they've all just closed and left town.

    It's a slow march to death for the west.

    Oh, and keep a little eye on Fentanyl and Xylazine deaths in the UK too. They're creeping up and that shit brings a whole host of fun social issues.

    We're only ever a decade or so behind the Septics lads. Buckle up.

    This is a black thing insofar as they are the only 'community' that would racialise a shoplifter getting their collar felt and be sufficiently lacking in self-awareness to protest about it. If a white scrote got filled in by a black shopkeeper because they were on film thieving I doubt even hardcore white racists would jump to defending them solely on the basis of their skin colour.

    I've dipped in and out of this thread on and off all day during a busy day at work and if asked I still couldn't articulate what the fuck is going on. Which isn't casting judgement, I genuinely don't understand.

    TLDR anyone?

    A black woman was thieving from a shop, the Asian owner detained her with a bit of force and a brief headlock, she's now crying about it. The Guardian of course chose to write it up like this:

    Police are investigating an incident at a hair products shop in south London where a video posted online apparently showed a black female customer being grabbed by the throat by a man attempting to restrain her.

    The Metropolitan police said they were investigating the incident after being called out to the shop in Peckham on Monday, and appealed for calm after protesters gathered outside the store on Tuesday.

    “We know people will be concerned about a video circulating online of an incident in a shop,” said Det Ch Supt Seb Adjei-Addoh, the local policing commander for Southwark.

    The video apparently shows a man physically restraining a woman from behind. After she swings her basket towards him in an apparent attempt to free herself, he appears to grab her by the throat.

    So given it wasn't, what's the underlying sentiment/race angle issue on this one? What exactly is "here" that Twitter man was so scared about arriving from the US?

    I have no idea, but apparently the Asian community has bought up large parts of Peckham and lord it over the Black community. Atleast that's the story on Twitter.

    The other side of the coin is a shopkeeper that's sick of shoplifters, but that's a countrywide issue as per my post above.

    Asians running all of the businesses in 'their' areas is the nearest thing there is to a universal black experience, and yet it never seems to give the people of Peckham, Idi Amin, the Fijian military, etc. pause for thought.

    The BBC is too busy perusing Harry Maguire's mum's Instagram page, so we are blissfully unaware of Mexican aliens.

    Seems it's actually the prison is continually understaffed (a common theme everywhere) and on the day in question the shortfall was estimated to be 80. But don't let that get in the way of some lovely clicks eh, Sky.

    First of all, Man like Spikey has his finger on the pulse.

    A convenience store owner says he witnesses up to nine shoplifting incidents a day, with criminals who are "more brazen and aggressive".

    Benedict Selvaratnam says it is because shoplifters know they are not a police priority.

    His situation is being echoed in small shops across the UK, according to the Federation of Independent Retailers.

    The group, which represents 10,000 shopkeepers, is calling for government help to tackle the problem.

    It says the situation is worsening day by day.
    Secondly, the new "Gone In 60 Seconds" sounds absolutely dog shit.

    "We've seen a big increase in organised gangs stealing to order, whether it's coffee, honey or meats."

    This is the problem with The Guardian, they take a point that most people would agree with and couch it in such verbose language that all meaning is lost.

    What she is attempting to say is that young men watch too much porn and then go on to want sex like that, but most women don't want ass to mouth with nipple clamps and fish hooks up their nostrils, and it's hard to consent to sex when normal sex could start introducing porn norms that you don't want without warning.

    It would actually be useful for this to be said in everyday language, but yeah, Guardian gonna Guardian.

    I worry for both my son and daughter when they grow up. It's looking increasingly difficult for both of them. I don't know how society got so polarised. (Well, I do, it's pretty much all because of the Internet, isn't it? Especially Social Media driving people into echo chambers)

    It's absolutely the internet and I think we're only beginning to see the damage it'll ultimately do. Take the Brand situation - previously if a show like that had come out he'd have had no recourse. No one in the tv broadcast media would have given him any unchallenged airtime, but now he has a platform to millions upon millions of people where he can claim it's all some great conspiracy, views will go up, he'll even make more money out of it and we have millions of people who simply won't believe a conviction in a court of law. Now, he may choose not to do that for legal reasons and the wider court case that I assume is coming, but the point is that if he wants to, he can, Piers Morgan will no doubt be waiting in the wings too. And that's only the tip of the iceberg - even the things that purport to be there to do good (mental elf, anxiety support etc.) to me at least, seem to be actively fucking kids up.

    I find it hilarious that there are all these warnings about AI, when what we have online already is an active and very real threat to Western civilization functioning. But of course, no one with any power wants to point that out as they're all trousering obscene amounts of money from its existence.

    Kids definitely, but you've also got this weird group of people who came to it late who're our age and older who seem to have no clue how to spot what's grifting bullshit. See Facebook comments for all the evidence you need of that.

    Lot of yank newbies vying to take the crown off our very own Nazanin for most worthless treacherous piece of shit but this is sensational:

    Iranian officials have never acknowledged detaining Levinson, while US officials believe he was held and interrogated by the country’s intelligence agency as a possible bargaining chip.

    A retired FBI officer, he was initially reported to have visited Kish – an island frequented by tourists and not requiring a visa for entry – on a freelance investigation of illicit cigarette smuggling in March 2007.
    A fucking freelance investigation of illicit cigarette smuggling in Kish And people buy in to this level of fuckery.

    Probably. He's fucking nuts but that fits right in with the Indian approach to anything foreign, that any slightly negative or even quizzing comment about anything remotely Indian is instantly branded anti-Indian and they go into meltdown. If you ever fancy kicking off a shitstorm just head onto Twitter and post "Kohli is shite" or something similar; even if you only have three followers, it doesn't matter, they'll seek you out quick enough.

    I took to Reddit to see what he actually did and that headline doesn't remotely do his crimes justice. This isn't an 'animals are as important as humans' take (so stand down Jim), but he should never be allowed to see the light of day again.

    My time at the Courts taught me that Bestiality is far more common than most people would believe and the punishments are far, far too lenient. Most of them don't go to prison. Just a fine and ban from keeping pets.
