An innocent boy killed by 5 or 6 racist idiots. The police did a rubbish job investigating it.

They only have 2 locked up, so yeah it would still be news, and it should still be news until they lock up the other gutless racists who helped do it.

If you believe that you may wish to google the tragic death of Gavin Hopley  , you certainly won't hear it as a news headline.

It is still news for three main reasons: the racist attack; the certainly incompetent and probably corrupt police investigation; but most of all because Lawrence's uncle was a security guard at the Daily Mail, who splashed the story, named the suspects, and kept it running. It is further significant because it led to the finding of "institutional racism" against the police, and the end of the double jeopardy rule.

You are so right about gavin hopley - I am always amazed how the imbalance there is in justice here. But the reporting is even more scandalous.
Anyone noticed how judges/courts seem to bend over backwards for so calle 'minority' and 'community' interests.  Check out some of the sentences in some cases too.

staggering that a police force could be so corrupt. Sad

The family of one man killed 20 months before Stephen Lawrence blamed police and prosecutors for failing to crack down on gangs. Rolan Adams, 15, was killed in February 1991.

Clear evidence on video to the contrary.

Norris was recorded by a metropolitan police surveillance camera boasting that he would use ‘two submachine guns’ in a plan to ‘skin a black ****’ and ‘blow their two arms and legs off’.

Dobson was caught by the camera, hidden in an electrical socket in his flat, walking about with a large knife recalling a time when he threatened a black colleague with a blade.

"...evidence was hidden during the investigation into Stephen’s murder."

wow. Didn't know that. Thought they just had failed to properly investigate.

All murders are obviously tragic, but the point is - the media would have you believe that due to ''racism'' it isn't safe for people of colour to go to predominantly white areas.

People know that the complete opposite is closer to the truth

Yes racism can and does work both ways. However here the Mcpherson inquiry found that the police were institutionally racist.

Is it? I get the impression the main problem nowadays is gangs not race, and mainly gangs are attacking others of the same colour as themselves: Black in much of London; White up north.
