As if the article were not shameful enough in itself, scroll down and cast your eye over some of the comments.

ETA: Obviously I understand that such a site is a gathering place for this type of person, but I am still shocked at the amount of bile in the comments. I think it is easy to forget just how twisted some human beings can be.

OMG I had to stop reading after about 50 comments!

I am dismayed.

Jesus Christ. That's astounding. There is so many things wrong, I just don't know where to start.

Wow! Not a hide of a debate, even - are all the reasonable people just letting the idiots give vent in the hope they'll exhaust their spleen?

As far as I can tell (from very limited browsing, admittedly), isn't this a far-right racist website?

I don't think that is what it bills itself as, but in essence, yes. Still, i am amazed at just how venomous humans can be to each other.

That's genuinely upsetting.

Also, anyone who uses the highlighted words in an internet arguement is automatically a complete cunt:

Quote:
Oh cry me a RIVER!!!! You whiny little fags are great for laughs!


Alongside 'Oh boo-hoo!' it's just the most annoying and anger inducing thing to read for me from twats on the net.

Black guy? Judging by the photo of the lady in question, shouldn't we be looking for Nick Cotton.
There's something about her that reminds me of Dot.

@Ruysan:

It's not a mainstream news site in any way, so whether you'd call such skewed, single-minded 'reporting' of an incident 'news', I am not sure. The actual story is not a rare one - one person has been mugged and beaten by another, but the fact that the assailant was black (bingo) and the victim a white (bingo) female (bingo) anti-racism campaigner (FULL HOUSE!) ticks all the boxes for this right-wing scum-fest to think of it as news.

You didn't read past the title, but if you look at the short article and the comments underneath you will soon realise what kind of site this is. It has no value other than to make the rest of society realise that these screwed up people still exist in society, and in number, too.

I can never quite bring myself to believe that these extreme racists can actually justify to themselves that their beliefs are good, righteous ones, yet their language and fervour seems to suggest that this is exactly what they think and believe.

i think skinheads and racists are people with such low self-esteem that need to feel that they belong to something bigger and noble and are part of some kind of righteous battle. It's something that really disgusts me.

I realized this was not a serious news site, i was just saying that the title was enough to see what was coming after. I prefer looking at pictures of baby pandas and koalas.
