Could just be random mugging rather than targeted due to what he was doing and wearing.

Hopefully

Still not good either way.

Poor lad hope he is ok

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

It occurred yesterday. It was someone who appeared d*unk, motive unknown.

I know last week a young lad was threatened and verbally abused while selling poppies but not sure where, they arrested someone though. Downright bloody disgusting

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?

Just read it, that's two in a week the first one was abused and threatened. Thankfully it says this lads injuries are minor still doesn't take away the shock and fear factor for the poor lad

Surely you don't believe "the people of manchester" are all racist,you're not that ignorant ?

It's a few cretins,it always is,you find them everywhere,jumping to conclusions.

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?

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.
