scothunter 12,609 Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 If that had been some white lad it would never have been dragged up again. It would have ended with no convictions. It certainly woukdnt have had the mother being made a baroness! f***ing ridiculous. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WILF 47,216 Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 It's utter bollocks, don't know why they don't just leave the lads alone.......it's political and there is no way in gods green earth them boys would ever get a fair trial at all, not even for a f***ing parking ticket. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WILF 47,216 Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 If it was my son I would hound the police every day. Hopefully it closes with all the people responsible being convicted. The people responsible or the people that the papers have been accusing for years?....... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
boyo 1,398 Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 Regardless of colour creed etc it was a horrible crime & yes who ever is resposible should be prosecuted. Feel sorry for Lawrence family terrible loss 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scothunter 12,609 Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 Like wilf said it is has went way beyond a murder enquiry. Politics and appeasing the black community. Seems depending who or what you are these days decides on how much man hours and money is thrown into a case. Just like the mcaan enquiry. I would happily strangle those pair! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BGD 6,436 Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 Agreed it went way beyond a normal murder investigation, the police don't usually spy on and run smear campaigns against the families of murder victims! http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2013/06/24/stephen-lawrence-family-smear-campaign-met-police_n_3488498.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WILF 47,216 Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 What do we think of the two convictions then?........would any of you think you had got a fair trial? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Blackbriar 8,569 Posted August 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 I haven't Googled any figures, but I'd bet that millions of pounds and tens of thousands of man hours have been spent on this. There have been marches, demonstrations and his mother has been made a peer.....Christ, even Jesse Jackson jumped on the bandwagon at one point ! My query would be whether such resources are made available on all murder cases. Black kids kill black kids with frightening regularity (in London particularly), but I don't see the same outpourings, the same amount of stones left unturned. I certainly don't see appeals for new witnesses 23 years after some gang member got stabbed in ruck in Peckham ! Am I being cynical, or has his death, as terrible as it was, become such a "cause celebre" simply because he was killed by white men ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
