"I won’t defend shoplifting (except in extreme cases - starving/homeless and in need of food/blankets) but the very idea that anyone could defend the assault (and it was assault) of this woman is beyond me. It was assault from the very first moment he pushed her. " Do you truly believe it the push was assault? Or was it restraint? She was trying to leave the shop with his goods. | |||

"She'll be on the shop's camera, so why is he even making a physical citizen's arrest? Just let her go and report her to the police if you know for sure that she stole. An Andrew Tate fan perhaps? Some women are actually there to be manhandled for many young people today, it's considered a sign of virility. That couldn't be more pathetic in my opinion. pt" Probably because the police won't do anything but give him a crime number, I haven't seen any cctv footage only from a mobile that doesn't show the beginning, He does man handle her rough but she is giving as much as she's taking, I haven't got any sympathy for her, she was attempting to rob from his store, As for the protestors there is bigger issues to get around then trying to defend a thief | |||

" Let's simplify the situation, she was not happy with return policy on hair products instead of talking like a normal human being and coming to a resolution with the owner. The woman decides to take it upon herself to shoplift and expected zero consequences. The owner is within in his rights to stop anyone shop lifting, now when someone is being aggressive you can't dance around being passive in this situation. He did what he had to stop this woman doing as she pleases, nothing to do with race or gender. Simples..... | |||

Remove the emotion and you might get somewhere.
The thread wasn't finished, it just came to an end because of limits. "When you are affected by something see how you will like it when a person tells you loose your emotions It's tiring seeing racism from any community and definitely when its done to my own I would never tell a person they're too emotional, they are just as human as myself not a machine, an object or a stuffed toy | |||

Solidarity to the people of Peckham I say. pt " Round of applause to you 
There is an ongoing pattern that will never die and all the children from generation to generation especially some of the boys will experience racism wether its from police, store owner or another by passer
Racism of any kind will just never die sadly | |||

If you had to constantly see your community face racism and other races dismiss it YOU would be emotional too I find it interesting that other communities are quick to dismiss racism happening but I never see a black person yet tell anyone that they may not be dealing with a racist Just an interesting aside. Do you think the comments written all over the shop front by the protestors are racist? There's ignorance in every community I haven't been outside the shop myself but I wouldn't be surprised if there are. People are angry and for years black people have felt that a community that sells the food we cook and the products women use in their hair but that community doesn't use it personally themselves don't regard us as anything jus good enough to put money in their tills " Thanks for the answer. That’s bizarre thinking among the community to direct such hostility against shop keepers selling a need. Idi Amin like and we all know how that panned out in the end. But I digress. The situation is a big old mess and I hope it’s settled peacefully. I am glad the shop keeper is not pressing charges hopefully people will see sense and we won’t see anything like the Birmingham disorder as people lost their lives over a rumour. | |||

"To the people saying he was right to defend himself but shouldn't have gripped her round the throat.... have you ever been in a physical assault situation. Your instinct is not to do things in a reasonable manner, it's to ensure they stop doing what they're doing. " Thank you. I tried to say this earlier.

What a load of shite! Have you seen the bit where she is hitting him ? "He would have never have fought like this with someone white" That's like saying she would never have acted like that if the store owner was black Once again. He pushes her first. That’s assault. Now he may well argue that it was detaining a thief - that’s not for you or I to decide - but pushing someone *is* assault. I haven't seen the full footage and probably no one has, but watch the GBnews vidoe" Videos have been posted on this thread. They’re available on social media. I won’t be gracing GBeebies with my time. | |||

" Once again. He pushes her first. That’s assault. Now he may well argue that it was detaining a thief - that’s not for you or I to decide - but pushing someone *is* assault." Nope, you can use what you deem reasonable force to prevent a crime being committed. It is only assault if the police or a jury decide that a push is unreasonable in that scenario. B | |||

Could easily have fallen in line with him I suppose. But at school I was befriended by a couple of black lads, lo and behold I learned quickly that like me, they enjoyed football, video games, takeaway food, even girls!! They were just like me! Meanwhile dad would spout his racist nonsense and still cheer when a black player scored for spurs. Made no sense then, even less now. We’ll get there one day, just sadly not in our lifetime. | |||

"I’m not wading in on the race element because as a middle aged white fella, it’s not my place to deem what is or is not felt as racism by anyone else. I can’t walk in anyone else’s shoes. . I'm not sure what your age has to do with it. I'm one of those too, but try and show solidarity whenever I see fit and I can. I saw enough racism as a kid to have thought a lot about what it means to people across my whole life now.. I've always judged situations whenever I've see them. I find it insane that in all this time things are still as bad as they are. (TV in the seventies was bad in enough, but in 1990 I witnessed direct police racism in London first-hand. If you told me then that in over 30 years this would still be going on I'd have probably said "what, even in space? It's utterly, utterly depressing.) pt I think things are better than they were, but there’s a long way to go. I grew up in the 80’s with an openly racist father. Could easily have fallen in line with him I suppose. But at school I was befriended by a couple of black lads, lo and behold I learned quickly that like me, they enjoyed football, video games, takeaway food, even girls!! They were just like me! Meanwhile dad would spout his racist nonsense and still cheer when a black player scored for spurs. Made no sense then, even less now. We’ll get there one day, just sadly not in our lifetime. " . I get very gloomy about it all. I think if we haven't turned things around properly within the next 30 odd years (do we even have that long?) that's it for us all tbh. We need to go forwards at this juncture not backwards. We don't have any natural right to be here forever imo, and humanity can too-easily implode with dominoes of all kinds tumbling everywhere in ultimately un-manageable chaos. It's living with each other without fighting that's the heart of it, we don't seem to even want to do it. pt | |||
