WBK,
Here is another example of criminality among a section of very
deprived white communities in the UK. They turn their anger and
frustration at black people in a virulent racism that often turns to
violent attacks like this. In the USA, it is the police that is
violent to black people, in the UK it is more likely to be gangs
linked to far right groups most of whose members are recruited from
the poorest rungs of society.

A judge has blasted the 'sick' people who 'liked' a Facebook post of
the 14-year-old boy who stabbed a supply teacher in a racist attack.
The boy, who the judge ruled cannot be identified, was overheard
calling Vincent Uzomah a 'b******' and a 'n*****' before he knifed him
in the stomach at Dixons Kings Academy in Bradford in June.
In a message 'liked' by 69 people, he then boasted on Facebook: 'The
motherf***** getin funny so I stick the blade straight in his tummy.'
Passing sentence today, Judge Jonathan Durham Hall QC condemned the
boy's post and those who 'liked' it as 'sick'. The judge said: 'It's
an appalling reflection on a small microcosm of our society that
within minutes or hours after posting, 69 people "liked". How sick.'
The judge described the attack as 'utterly shocking' and told the boy
he had 'deliberately and callously' stabbed his teacher.
He said: 'You went to your school armed with a knife with a
significant blade intending, when the opportunity presented, to stab
your teacher Vincent Uzomah.
'You boasted about it before, you boasted about it after when you had
stabbed him.'
He told the boy, who sat in the dock with his arms folded and yawned
continuously throughout the sentencing, he 'stabbed him deliberately
then gloated in the presence of your classmates'.
Despite the judge finding him a 'dangerous young offender', the youth
could be freed in three years' time to serve the rest of his 11-year
sentence on licence.
Judge Durham Hall sentenced him to an extended sentence which includes
six years custody and a further five years on licence. Current prison
rules mean he could serve half of the six years behind bars.
The judge said: 'What you have done is utterly shocking, deliberately,
callously stabbing him.'But he rejected an application for the youth's
identity to be made public saying the 14-year-old's 'welfare must come
first and the public interest must give way'.
The teenager, who sat in the dock wearing a grey shirt and jeans,
yawned and folded his arms as the judge passed sentence.
Speaking outside court today, Mr Uzomah said he forgave his attacker,
despite the trauma he has caused him
Supply teacher Vincent Uzomah, pictured with his wife, thought he was
going to die after he was stabbed in the stomach in June
Stabbing victim Vincent Uzomah: I have forgiven my attacker Victim Mr
Uzomah said today that despite the 'trauma and pain' his attacker had
put him and his family through, he forgave the youth and hoped he
would turn his life around inside.
Speaking on the steps of Bradford Crown Court, Mr Uzomah said: 'As a
Christian I have forgiven this boy who has inflicted this trauma and
pain onto me and my family.
'It was, however, important for the law to run its course and for a
strong message to be sent out.'
Passing sentence today, Judge Durham Hall told the youth: 'You went to
your school armed with a knife with a significant blade intending,
when the opportunity presented, to stab your teacher Vincent Uzomah.
'You boasted about it before' you boasted about it after when you had
stabbed him.'
"It's an appalling reflection on a small microcosm of our society that
within minutes or hours after posting [boasts about the stabbing], 69
people 'liked'. How sick" Judge Jonathan Durham Hall QCHe told the boy
he 'stabbed him deliberately then gloated in the presence of your
classmates'.
The judge continued: 'What you did to Vincent Uzomah was of such
shocking seriousness that this man sitting in court, a God-fearing
gentleman, first of all thought he was going to die. You have, by your
actions, changed his life.'
Judge Durham Hall said he rejected the boy's explanation to
psychiatrists that he stabbed Mr Uzomah because he was hearing voices.
He said Mr Uzomah had to tell the teenager off from time to time
because he was disruptive.
'Suggestions you were calling him a n****r and the inference I must
draw is that was a factor. You could not tolerate being told off by
this gentleman of this background,' he said.
Speaking outside court, Detective Superintendent Simon Atkinson, of
West Yorkshire Police, described the attack as 'shocking and very
serious' and said the teenager showed no concern for Mr Uzomah by
fleeing the scene.He added: 'He worryingly showed a further lack of
remorse towards his victim by boasting about his actions on social
media.'
His attacker, a 14-year-old boy, fled Dixons Kings Academy in Bradford
after the stabbing but was arrestedMr Atkinson said he hoped the
sentence would give some closure to Mr Uzomah who he described as
being 'incredibly magnanimous towards his attacker'.
The boy had admitted wounding with intent at a previous hearing.
Jonathan Sharp, prosecuting, had earlier told the court the boy was
described by others as 'disruptive and a bully' and had taken a
dislike to Mr Uzomah in the seven weeks he had worked at the school.
Mr Sharp said: 'He did not show any especial hostility to other
teachers. Mr Uzomah, however, is black.
The prosecutor added: 'The defendant disliked him, claiming he
couldn't teach, and freely referred to him by the epithet beginning
with the letter n, including saying it in anger just before he
attacked him.
'The Crown's case in consequence is that the attack was, at least in
part, racially motivated.'
The boy who carried out the shocking attack has today been sentenced
to 11 years in youth detention
Mr Sharp said the boy told a friend the previous day that he was
planning to stab a teacher and took a knife with a 'substantial blade'
into school on June 11, discussing his plans with other pupils.
He stabbed Mr Uzomah after a row over his mobile phone, the court was told.
Mr Sharp said the boy was described by witnesses as 'getting angry,
red in the face and putting his head down and muttering the words
bastard and n*****'.
He said: 'He approached Mr Uzomah and reached into his pocket but at
that point he took out the knife and stabbed Mr Uzomah in the
stomach.'
He added: 'Mr Uzomah thought he was going to die.'
He added: 'Suggestions you were calling him a n****r and the inference
I must draw is that was a factor. You could not tolerate being told
off by this gentleman of this background.'
