Burned by someone spraying an aerosol and igniting it. Dreadful news.  |

There's is an article on BBC News which details the incident.
Hopefully, no one jumps to conclusions regarding the motives, because it could escalate very quickly. |

yesterday apparently
the attacker was described as 'black or asian'
let's see if swingers are any less racist than the people of manchester
i have been following this in the Manchester Evening News page today
some of the comments are outrageous / disgusting |

the article also stated that the attacker appeared to be under the influence of drink &/or drugs
few people latched onto that
just his skin colour and assumed religion |

It's difficult to tell whether you approve of the incident or not.
If the respective "colours" of victim and attacker had been reversed, would it then have been a racist attack? |

yeah that was a bit of bad wording on my part am afraid
like any city, manchester has it's fair share of fuckwits
most of them seemed to latch on to this story
of course, it couldn't possibly the actions of a random pisshead, it had to be a racist attack

If you say so.
Presumably, the lad was straight? Or we'd never have heard the last of it? |

"just heard a 15 year old boy in uniform was attacked while selling poppies in manchester, i despair for this country sometimes. i hope it's a isolated incident."
From what I heard on Thursday in London we had one incident with 2 polish guys. Nothing major just being abusive.
Big sense of pride Thursday with all colours and creeds and ages buying a Poppy. So I do hope it's completely isolated and the shits are found and brought to justice.

that's a somewhat bizarre statement
why would his sexuality be important ?
he was victim to an unprovoked attack
as i said earlier, the dynamic of it is irrelevant
it was unnecessary |

I think you may be right, the press in particular would deem it thus. Whatever it is, it's a shocking attack on an innocent young lad.
I hope the perpetrators are caught and justice is served, and the young lad makes a speedy and full recovery. |
