Sikh Boy Has Turban Ripped Off And Stamped On By Racists

[saint-soldier]

Its just sad that no one in the bus did anything about it :glare: sikhs in uk really need to do something about this issue.

yeah, but how many stories have we had recently where people have stepped in to help someone else out, and ended up being murdered! Plus a group of 18-year old are guna look scary to a coupla school children!

were living in kaljug! only love for waheguru can save us :pray:

Havent heard anything about ppl getting killed for helping others in syd, but maybe this happens in uk. And people in the bus could well have been around 17-18 years old too, i highly doubt that there werent any students in the bus that were in years 11-12.

Dont know what kind of a school was this, but if this happened to someone from the school i used to go to, let alone year 11-12's even year 10 students would have jumped in to help and more importantly they would have got a chance to have a punch up (maybe that was the reason my school wasnt rated very high in the state :gg: )

im surprised theres only like 6 people replying to this and about 240 views, where all the stupid and useless topics get like 20 replys a minute, whats up with that?

anyway we can give support to the family?

because we're not all in england, and rather than just talking the talk, we're gonna let local sikhs walk the walk.

peace.

The guy who done it should get kicked out of the school because if it was the sikh boy he woulde get kicked out.

VAHEGUROOOOJIKAKHALSAVAHEGUROOOJIKIFATHE!!!

I think that seva should be done in the form of some good Gursikhs going down to meet the family and putting some strenght into the young boy. get his confidence back and make him raise his head high again with no fear.

I really hope this happens as the boy could be suffering big time

more sikhs need to get into boxing and kickboxing.

St Benedicts College & Merseyside Police Fail To Protect Eleven Year Old Victim of Racist Hate Crime

An eleven year old boy was attacked in a racist hate crime in Liverpool in full public view on a packed bus and not a single person bothered to help him. Far from it, onlookers watched on as the child was maliciously assaulted by having his turban ripped from his head and a tirade of racist abuse was hurled at him by a group of nine older caucasian youths. Arjan Rhode was attacked by a gang of teenagers last Monday afternoon on the 82 service in Garston. The bus was packed, around school leaving time at 3.10pm, but nobody intervened.

Police arrested only one boy aged 17 on suspicion of a religiously aggravated public order offence. He was being questioned by officers and the matter could have been passed to the force’s Sigma Unit, which deals with hate crime.

Police claim they are currently examining CCTV tapes from the bus.

SSNews contacted St Benedicts College and Merseyside Police to explain why they failed to protect the child, why they have subsequently not fully investigated and held to account all the perpetrators of this racist hate crime and finally why they have not put into place adequate measures to prevent this kind of hate crime ever happening again.

St Benedicts College issued a statement saying:

'Any racist incidents are totally against the ethos of our Catholic College. Such incidents are always condemned, thoroughly investigated and action taken.'

'Indications so far are that any perpetrator does not attend Saint Benedict's College. We have contacted the police and will be working with them to identify anyone involved.'

The Mission Statement of the College reads:

"We provide a safe, secure and happy environment."

Clearly they and Merseyside Police failed to protect this child.

The Sikh Community worldwide is outraged that such a serious Race-Hate Crime has not been categorically denounced by a wider proportion of the community in Garston, Liverpool and that this Hate Crime has not been investigated and the perpetrators punished to the fullest extent of the law.

Should all children not be safe to travel to and from school without being made a victim of a racist hate crime?

Merseyside Police have not yet issued a statement.
