Woman beheaded in broad daylight in a London garden[W:335:480]

Re: Woman beheaded in broad daylight in a London garden[W:335]

A 25-year-old man was arrested in connection with the death of a woman who was reportedly beheaded in the back garden of a North London home on Thursday afternoon. Officers used a Taser to apprehend the suspect, who is being treated at a hospital for injuries, according to Huffington Post UK. One officer also suffered a broken wrist, police said in a statement.

Well, it`s terrible. And we don`t know wether it was the attack terror-related or not. And another point in this: "officers used a taser to apprehend the suspect". I note that this is a dangerous criminal, rather than a simple thief. Why do our policemen shoot-to-kill in any situation?
Gun control saves the day again :mrgreen:
 
Re: Woman beheaded in broad daylight in a London garden

She looks pretty white to me.

You need glasses, then. She looks black/Spanish.
 
Re: Woman beheaded in broad daylight in a London garden

If you say he may have been mentally ill then of course he well might have been. But that goes for anyone who decapitates innocent people, whether it's in a London suburb or an Iraqi desert.
...or New York, or provincial Alberta, or beach-side Malibu, or downtown Rio. So, tell us what the relevance of his 'conversion' to Islam 5 years ago might have made to his mental health situation.

No I don't need glasses thank you. Maybe you need to do a bit of research on the victim before commenting. She was Italian, Palmira Silva, the 82-year-old great-grandmother and semi-retired Italian Café owner. She has olive skin color like most in the Mediterranean. Olive skin is considered white.
 
Re: Woman beheaded in broad daylight in a London garden

Olive skin is considered white.

Only by those who make it a point of defining people by the difference in skin tones.

Using that definition, all Chinese, Korean, and Japanese are 'white people'. I think you know how absurd you're being, using social categories as racial truths.

And you were the one that started it by claiming she wasn't white. And you were wrong. The man that killed her is very black. He is a converted Muslim. His actions are no different than those joining ISIS that kill defenseless women and children. His actions are no different than those Islamic fascists that kidnapped school girls rapped and forced them to marry. Or those Islamic rape gangs that abduct young girls, addict them to heroin so they can be gang banged daily. His actions are no more abhorant than those Muslim men who force their women to wear burkas and not allow them to be educated. And the penalty of disobeying their commands is death.

Nonsense. The victim was white. The killer was black. End of story.
 
Re: Woman beheaded in broad daylight in a London garden

The victim was white.
You said the victim was Italian, that means the victim was Hispanic. She would need Caucasian blood in her line somewhere to change that, and judging from the picture she very clearly has no Caucasian ancestors. She's Hispanic, not White.

You are being ridiculous. Her married name was Silva, a Portugese name. All part of the Mediterranean where the olive skin abide. Regardless she was considered white.
 
Re: Woman beheaded in broad daylight in a London garden

Your DNA doesn't change when you marry. Your spouse is not your ancestor. Her married name would matter if we were talking about her children, but we're not, and so it doesn't.

All part of the Mediterranean where the olive skin abide.
Thus you regard all Chinese, Korans and Japanese as 'white'.

Regardless she was considered white.
She's Hispanic, not White, but if you want to blindly believe the report anyway then you should believe all of it, including this:
Sandlin said in a statement. “Whilst it is too early to speculate on what the motive behind this attack was, I am confident, based on the information currently available to me, that it is not terrorist-related.”
Would you like to recant your rant about terrorism or your rant about ethnicity, you can't have it both ways without committing a logical fallacy.

Italians aren't typically considered Hispanic.

You have managed to twist this conversation from something it was never intended because I simply stated the victim is white. You are full of hoooweeee. She is considered white whether you think she is Spanish/black or anything else. Her husband may have been Portuguese with a sirname as Silva. You want to make your claims on her being Spanish/Black by her picture. She has already been classified as a white woman by authorities so get over it. You have taken away from the points made of Islamic fascists in general and their hateful behavior toward women in general over your multiple posts over this woman's race. Why? Don't like facing up to facts? Too sensitive for you so you have to throw out a decoy? If so tough stuff cream puff. Islamofascists and their disdain toward women needs to be front and center starting with this 82 year old great grandma that lost her life to one.
 
Re: Woman beheaded in broad daylight in a London garden

Hispanic means someone from Latin America, not Europe.

Well, some sources say that Spaniards are Hispanic, and others also include Portugal, but I've never heard of Italians being considered Hispanic. There's also the issue that white would be considered a race, but Hispanic would not, so there seems to be an apples/oranges comparison here as well.

You appear to be running all over the place here. You claim the victim was white, that he may have been non compis mentis, and now you want me to assess his mental health through newspaper articles from a few thousand miles away. I'll not bother.

Personally, from a layman's point of view, I think anyone who chooses to become a Muslim must be desperately in need for something to fill that emptiness in their life.
 
Re: Woman beheaded in broad daylight in a London garden

I wonder why they didn't just say she's Italian, then.

Hispanic means someone from Latin America, not Europe.
Hispanic means someone from Spain or Roman Hispania, which roughly comprised the Iberian Peninsula including the contemporary states of Andorra, Portugal, and Spain and the Crown Colony or British Overseas Territories of Gibraltar.

Latin America is a whole different part of the world no where near Spain.
 
Re: Woman beheaded in broad daylight in a London garden

Maybe because many Italians consider themselves white.
Sure but this wasn't an Italian media made by & for Italians. Even Northern Europe regards Southern Europe as colored, not white.

Well, then I guess you'll have to ask them.

Excuse me? Italians are now Hispanic? Is this true of everyone who lives near the mediterranean sea? Are the Lebanese Hispanic? The Greeks? The French? Moroccans? Algerians? Tunisians? Libyans? Egyptians? Albanians? The Turks? ...
 
Re: Woman beheaded in broad daylight in a London garden

Why the **** are we even talking about what the individuals involved here look like?

Or did I miss something...
 
Re: Woman beheaded in broad daylight in a London garden[W:335]

If you think you, your boyfriend or someone you know might be white, take this simple test:

Would the person fit in with this picture?

17hqnyzf5qgn.jpg

If so, they're white, if not, they're not white.

The victim in the OP would not fit in with this picture, we would in fact expect her to be asking us for more Lemon Pledge, not sun screen. Therefore she is not white.

She does, however, fit into this picture:

She is Hispanic. The media just misidentified her, and considering how wrong the media has been in reporting basic facts I think this misidentification is a minor one.
