Oh whoops, it is hard to tell on the internet. Plus since Gawker went there have been a lot of trolls on here, just look down below.

It did not happen in London, it happened in another area in UK which is a very racist white area. It is Trump and Brexit related, the rise of fascism is happening in UK and US. And everyone in this story wants to focus on this guy being black, most of the hate crimes are committed by white men.

Because they have looked at the CCTV video and there are witnesses. If you are trying to get at that she set herself on fire then that is wrong.

A study done by George town and many others have shown that earlier this year showing hate crimes against Muslim Americans during the 2016 U.S. election cycle have soared to levels not seen since the attacks of September 11, 2001. If you follow sites that keep a track on hate crimes then there has been a huge rise.

She is American, you can be American and have an Eastern European name. She was ranting about how she is American and how two Muslim women need to get out of America. She sound very American.

There are Muslims being shot and beaten on the street and hate crimes have risen, to say it is not so bad is ignoring what is really happening. Most people do not know that Trump is clown, the polls at the moment are very close and Clinton should be leading by a larger margin.

Anti-Hate crime groups in US have noticed that hate crimes have risen by a huge amount. They also noted that most states do not track hate crimes so the number is even higher. It will get worse if he is elected, but already he has changed the US. Hate crimes will skyrocket no matter the outcome of the election, but…

#Make America fascist again. The scariest thing about Trump will always be his supporters, no matter what on election day they will either be mad and looking to take it out on minorities or if Trump wins he will be strengthened. The awful rise in hate crimes that we seen in UK will be nothing compared to what is…

This is not the first incident, it has happened before. Muslims have been shot and killed, hate crimes in US have already risen by a huge amount.

Because there already laws against sexual harassment, in UK and most European countries laws against sexual harassment came before laws against racist hate speech. People have been arrested and questioned for saying sexist threatening things under the Sex discrimination act. Also the Criminal Justice and Immigration…

As someone who has lived in US, GB is not really behind on women’s issues. In US there is barely any protection against discrimination and protection against harassment, mainly verbally abuse. There is a lot of sexism in UK, but Great Britain does rank ahead of the US in equality of women and which country it better…

Police in UK already are making huge changes by taking sexual harassment and sexual assault more seriously. There are already laws against sexual harassment and assault, but this is about verbal harassment. There are still many problems

So fucked up that UK cares about sexism and making women feel like they have voice in society. The UK needs to be more like ‘Merica and dismiss hate speech and sexism as freedom of speech.

Like the article already states this has already been rolled out in Nottingham in UK. My friends who work with the police in that area say that it has been a huge success, for the first women feel empowered to report the sexism that they face. The police has also been given special training to make sure that they do…

Yes they would have been pretty likely, so many cases have proved that US prosecutors can be a sexist mess. The justice System in US is just as awful.

I am studying law and in UK . The guidelines are mainly there for people who give out sensitive information about the case. People are allowed to post their opinion on facebook and twitter because they will be responding to his quote which the press in UK has released, it is the same rules for this article.

My point is if the roles were reverse and it was a white Brit and mixed raced American the coverage in US and the reaction would be completely different. Like i said Amanda is innocent, but she would not getting so much support in US if she was not white and not American.

I do think that they are being very unfair on Amanda. I just remember on the last posts about them on Jezebel that people were some really vile things, it went beyond disagreeing with how they were treating Amanda. I know you were not calling them villains and i do think that they are in the wrong.

Just looking up the most recent articles about them it does seem that they are beginning to move on, they have finally left Italy and perusing any cases against Amanda.

That is why the case fell apart in the end because there is no proven way to predict when an earthquake will strike. But the people involved in case did admit that they were in wrong by telling people to go back inside and downplaying it when they had so much information. They should have been fired, not arrested. But…
