I thought this was shocking:

The headmaster said it was a predominantly white pupils' school...which makes me wonder if there are two sides to the story. Parents have withdrawn some children from the school in question - which give more power to the story on that account only. What will we be saying if the Asian attack constituted only half (or even less) the amount of bullying and intimidating...before we jump on high horses, the story is in http://education.guardian.co.uk/schools/ - not the usual paper one imagines would offer the 'other side'...and let's face it, I'm sure the usual sections of the media will be milking it for all it's worth...but like some of us on Answers, will quietly drop it from our wee heads once the beginnings of the other side is portrayed, and not mention it again as the other side of the coin is shown...if indeed the Asian boys see themselves as The Eastern Mafioso, however - then why should the authorities not inform their parents...for they would be just as disgusted as the white folk...who I suspected has been bagged by the usual sections of the media with a day out in the capital to air their 'fear of Asians' and 'ultimate innocence of their freshly-ironed, and sweet-smelling sons' over a few cappuchinos and expenses-paid lunch near the papers' offices.
Funny, but when questions like this are aired (with white folk the victims) no one eventually wins...the questioner realises such questions bring out the most answerers (especially if asked in the UK - which this is), with both sides of the fence - myself included - tending to bite the bait held by a few of the answerers, be it us getting personal - giving certain people a 'thumbs down' just to show our 'power of choice' at the keyboard, or whatever it is we do in order to vex others, but as the the old saying goes - the truth will out. And I've got this feeling the attack (or to put it in it's more shiny and eye-catching term - 'Race attack') - or the situations surrounding it may not be to many answerers liking, and the various 'thumbs-down' crew should realise life is not that simple...thank Allah.

it was shocking but not unexpected and this is only the start unless the British people start fighting back. There has already been a racist murder in Glasgow where the police tried to cover up the racist motive before finally having to admit the truth. Don't you also find it surprising that on both occasions the bleeding heart liberals and politically correct suddenly are nowhere to be found. Is it any wonder that now people in Scotland are turning towards the S.N.P and in England towards the B.N.P This country is British lets keep it that way

Seems a strange world to me.
Comments like "we need to hear the whole story" etc. suggest that it may have been okay under some circumstances!
Or "send them back where they came from ..." - isn't that just as racist ?
The real question has to be "Who instilled such low moral standards in the attackers and should we lock up the cause or effect of the problem?
I often see people blaming the council, government, school etc. for issues rather than accepting responsibility themselves.

Most concerning about this attack is the lack of media coverage,had the roles been reversed and an Asian had been attacked every one from the Home Secretary to the BBC would have been crying crocodile tears.

Best wait for the whole story to emerge, before anyone, including a minority of publicity seeking parents, jump to conclusions.

Yeah I read that story off of Yahoo. I don't know if I think that was what the media was trying to potray it as. It may have not been racially motivated because sometimes Gangs kill just to kill.

send the attackers to prison for 10-15 years tie them on a post in the town centre with a sign on them saying "we are the racists"and every body will spit on them.

We haven't heard the full story yet was he bullying the guy etc does not justify attacking someone with a hammer but we must get at the truth before judgement

Quite frankly I think it should be treated like every other racist attack. Just because this is an attack against the British and not by the British suddenly it is not seen as racist.
I think it is absolutly appaling and the family of the offenders should be deported back to where they belong.
If they don't like it then they should teach their children properly!
All hail the BNP!

You can be sure of one thing, the PC brigade will noticed by their absence. The TV media, which is part of the PC/lefty conspiracy, only report things that support their agenda. So, what they don't do, is just as important, as what they do.
