Victim One – the Dead One – the statistic
At 9.30 pm on Monday 19 Feb 2007 an old white man was knocked senseless after leaving Brixton station. He was kicked out of train in a pool of blood on West Dulwich, by Peckham.
Now in Charing Cross Hospital, Hammersmith, west London.


Victim Two – the JUDGE who got away – the lucky one
At about 7.15am on Thursday 22 February 2001 there was similar at West Dulwich, by Peckham. A gang of seven men violently robbed an old white man. He just happened to be a judge.


Victim Three – the Dead One the Lawyer his fiancé with Queen’s solicitors – the statistic
At about 1145pm on 12 January 2006 Tom ap Rhys was stabbed dead at Willesden. Left to die in his own blood. Stabbed repeatedly in his head, torso and hands until dead.


Victim Three - Man murdered near my London home
BBC NEWS | England | London | Murdered lawyer 'kind and gentle'
The family of a City lawyer stabbed to death just yards from his home say they will miss his "gentleness, kindness and consideration".
Thomas ap Rhys Price, 31, was mugged by two men in Bathurst Gardens, Willesden, north-west London on Thursday night.
The men attacked him again further up the street as he tried to get away, stabbing his body, hands and head.
His family said in a statement it was the "happiest time of his life" as he planned for his wedding in September.
Mr ap Rhys Price had proposed to his fiancee Adele Eastman in October.
...Police said he was subjected to a "ferocious" and "gratuitous" attack.
Officers think his attackers, who are black and in their late teens or early 20s, may have been hurt as Mr ap Rhys Pryce had "clearly tried to defend himself".
This attack happened on a continuation of my street, a few hundred metres from my door. This has shocked the neighbourhood.
From The Mirror:
Tom Rhys Pryce was heard pleading with the callous thieves: "What more do you want from me? You've got everything of value."
Seconds later the two men knifed him in the head, body and limbs in a frenzied, ferocious and senseless attack before they fled.
...Investigation chief Detective Superintendent Julian Worker said: "This is a shocking murder. It looks like a completely gratuitous killing.
"It is clear it was a robbery. We know that he had already handed over everything of value that was on him. We know he was telling them he had nothing else of value. He was pleading with them and they just produced knives and started stabbing him.
"It was a vicious attack. We know Tom fought for his life. There was a violent struggle and a lot of shouting. He tried to fend them off with his bare hands but he was overwhelmed and knifed to death."
That was no robbery. That was calculated murder. Could it be a race murder? It is, after all, the latest in a long series of murderous attacks by non-white "muggers" or "thugs" on white men. These are encourage by Blair policies. White on anyone black is racist. But black on white is OK. It’s OK. Black on white. That’s cool. So target White politicians should be cooler? Harman for Peckham? Slaughter for Acton?
We know from long experience that "motiveless", "senseless", "unprovoked" and "no known motive" are code words used by the police when the victim is white. "Race attack" is used where the victim is non-white [see this post for proof].
Most muggings (85%) in London are carried out by non-whites (non-whites make up 10% of the population). So when a black or Asian racist killer strikes, they often accompany the murder with robbery, so the police to list the motive as "robbery". This obscures the scale of racial violence against whites because the metrics are deeply flawed - I suspect deliberately so (i.e. the police and media are encouraged to assign a non-racial motive if they can or if they cannot, use the code words mentioned above).
We therefore have the absurd situation in the UK where in absolute terms most interracial violence is targeted at whites, but because it is not recognised as such ("robbery" instead of "race attack") the focus of anti-racist efforts and media blame is on the biggest victim group. A racist killer can murder his victim but as long as he mugs him first, it will not be listed as a race murder. Even when the there is no obvious motive the police will forcefully suppress notions that it could be racially motivated. It is the exact opposite with non-white victims. Robberies and assaults are tagged "racially aggravated" even where there is no evidence of such.
In this case Tom Pryce man handed over his possessions. That is the robbery. The killers then carried out crime number two: they stabbed him to death.
There is no know motive for this gratuitous murder. Where the victim is non-white and there is a racial element the default is immediately "race attack". Why not in this case?
I think this is a racially aggravated murder. Since the murder of black teenager Steven Lawrence there have been literally dozens of racial murders carried out against white men yet the media refuse to report the fact.
The Sun notes that:
Tom is the latest of a string of young professional men to be randomly stabbed to death in London. Architect Bernard Hegarty, 29, and BBC librarian Tom Brown, 27, were knifed in separate incidents in 2004.

Randomly? Bernard Hegarty was also murdered by a black mugger. Tom Pryce was not the only white man murdered by black "muggers" yesterday:
A 21 year old was shot dead by a gang who mugged his friends of their mobile phones as he lay dying.
Thugs surrounded Matthew Smith and his pals as they parked their car up outside a block of flats.
One gang member pulled a handgun and blasted Tragic Matthew of Norwood, South london, in the upper body.
The terrified friends were robbed of their mobile phones before the gang made off, leaving tragic Matthew dying in a pool of blood.
Detective hunting the young man's killer's were yesterday questioning a 20-year-old man arrested in Lambeth.
The mob of four or five members, all black males, were thought to have driven up to their targets in a silver coupe. " [Source: Lifestyle Extra]
What about the recent case of Richard Whelan, stabbed to death on a bus by a thug who was harassing Whelan's girlfriend. You guessed it, the attacker was black.
What about Ashley Hedger?
What about Nicholas Scott?
What about Scott Young?
What about Tim Robinson?
What about Kris Donald?
What about Gavin Hopley?
What about Christopher Yates?
What about Ross Parker?
Have you ever heard of those victims? Of course not. They were white. This front page illustrates the problem beautifully:

Steven Lawrence was killed in 1993 and Anthony Walker in 2005. That's right, in over a decade there were a grand total of TWO black victims of racial murder. Since the year 2000 - just over 5 years - there have been at least 11 brutal racist murders of white men and that is just my rudimentary count based on googling newspaper reports. Yet what do the media portray? The non-white victims, of course, all of two of them.
Murder is murder and a victim is a victim regardless of their colour or ethnicity. The law should be blind to these matters, but it is not. Public discourse is all about white racism and race attacks on non-whites but the irony is that when we look at the raw data - who is inflicting violence on whom - we see that whites are heavily victimised and ethnic minorities have a hugely disproportionate number of violent criminals compared to their numbers in the community.
I would like to do away with identity politics policing and justice. Get rid of "racially aggravated" and other ideas that create inequality before the law. It appears to suit OLD WHITE politicians who use minorities to their advantage because the real situation is obscured by political pressure and a form of false accounting where most attack on whites are not counted. Identity politics is THE way for deceitful politicians to DIVIDE and CONTROL the electorate! [DEVIOUSLY CLEVER]
Get rid of it. Treat everyone equally. Neither victim nor perpetrator should have greater value before the law simply because of their ethnicity. And do it now before the books are balanced and the white majority discovers the truth about racial violence on the UK. The current senseless and gratuitous OBSCURING OF THE TRUTH cannot be sustained.
Update 1: Spotted this opinion piece in the London Times written by one of Tom Pryce's friends
The shocking thing about Tom’s murder is the SAVAGERY of the attack. In this mindless violence I DETECTED SOMETHING STRANGE. Yes, there were muggings 10 years ago, and people were sometimes killed. In those days, however, my suspicion is that killings would happen in a struggle which ended up in knives being drawn, a few panic-stricken and desperate thrusts and then, tragically, death.
But Tom’s attackers, it seems, already had his possessions. What followed was a completely pointless, insane spasm of violence, in which the muggers STABBED his HEAD, BODY and HANDS. The brutality of the attack had nothing to do with their initial crime. I don’t know what drove these young men to attack Tom. I will never understand the fury and hatred that must have driven them to it.
Could I be bold enough to point out the obvious? Visceral hatred for a stranger like that is the hallmark of racial violence. If Tom were black and his attackers white there would be neither doubt that the crime was racially motivated. There is not a single mention of even the possibility of this in the British media. [This fact points to political control of the UK media.]
Update 2: Also see:
The Daily Ablution's "UK Press Coverage of Racially Motivated Gang Murders - A Comparative Analysis"
In Britain's courts, does it matter if you're black or white? - The Times
The question of anti-white racism makes the political class uncomfortable. But it is a very real phenomenon.
A Home Office report reveals that of the 22 homicides classified as racially motivated between 2001-04, the majority of victims (12 cases) were white.
...Results from the 2002-03 British Crime Survey show that less than 1 per cent of white people had experienced a crime that they thought was racially motivated. This compares with 2 per cent for the black community and 3 per cent among Asian groups. [NOTE: Those percentages translate into 500,000 white victims versus 22,974 black victims and 69,942 Asian victims - from UK National Statistics]
But 1 per cent of whites amounts to a substantial number of people — and a growing problem.
A Question of Murder - BBC
This week a jury in Liverpool convicted two teenagers of the murder of another. The case received a huge amount of coverage. But why is the murder of Anthony Walker worthy of such publicity when others aren't?
And are some critics right to say that BBC News is shy of reporting the "racist" murders of white people? How are the decisions made about which murders to cover? NewsWatch asked TV newsgathering editor Jon Williams to respond.

London has over 170 street gangs.
More than a quarter have been involved in murder and half in serious assault.
20 gangs cause a HIGH level of harm.
30 cause a MEDIUM level of harm.
The gangs are responsible for a fifth of all youth crime that is recorded.
Most gangs have 20 to 30 members.
Huge profits can be made.
The gangs and membership is spiraling up on the increase.
Get a gun and knock out the problem.
Afro-Caribbean boys stand out and without a father figure and from a single parent background with little education, most living on a council estate or housing association and if they have been abandoned by one parent and discipline, feel totally excluded from the increasing riches of society paraded daily in the media. Results are obvious. Media says you need them so get them. Take them. Easy. Just get tooled up. Drugs, abduct wommin and get them into prostitution. They’ll make money. Like battery cows and ready to be milked.

Michael Dosunmu was shot dead in his bed in his Peckham home in the early hours of Tuesday 6 February 2006, just days after his 15th birthday. Just days before, on Saturday, 3 February 2007 Javarie Crighton was stabbed dead in his Peckham home, the capital of gun crime in London.
Street language is the new common parlance in Peckham – briefs defend us or they’re blown away just a snuff they say and Glazers of Peckham better sort it or they’re history.
