    Have-a-go hero stabbed to death after chasing muggers who stole woman's bag

    A have-a-go hero has died after being stabbed when he tried to stop two muggers who stole a woman's bag.

    Sukhwinder Singh chased the thieves who robbed a 28-year-old woman near Barking station in east London yesterday evening.

    When he caught up with the pair a fight broke out and the 31-year-old was stabbed.

      Anthing in Mail, including totally unsurprising description of perpetrators, must be biased.

      The Mail implies things in more sensational terms perhaps but what they are telling us is the same as you will find in "more reputable" ie more liberal left sources.

      I am not getting at the decent immigrants, properly checked useful people in moderate numbers are not the problem and colour/race is not the issue, but the reality of the poorly controlled migration we have had over 5 decades is a huge rise in crime.

      In England, mugging, gun crime, fraud, credit card fraud, identity theft, skunk cannabis growing, heroine and cocaine smuggling, carjacking, drink driving and use of unsafe uninsured vehicles , people smuggling, prostitution and pickpocketing in the capital, homophobic and antisemitic
      attacks - all disproportionately down to migrants and minorities.

      We should stop being blackmailed for fear of being called racist into this idiot pretence that they are all a benefit. All the above are from police reports quoted by the likes of The Guardian, Independent, BBC etc. Links if you want them.

      And before any idiot pops up with "white British people commit crimes too" I would say I totally agree, but please explain how the fact that our society has many serious problems of its own is a good argument for importing even more from other countries.

          Sad, but also a fool. The risk was too high, for what? A handbag probably containing little money (who carries loads of dosh these days?), so probably just a few credit cards that can soon be cancelled and tampons. Chasing two guys, well bad guy no 2 was not likely going to let him take the bag back off of bad guy no.1 was he?
          Chasing one bad guy and trying to get the bag back = lower risk.
          Chasing 1 or two bad guys but keeping distance hoping they drop the bag or you find a copper on route = much lower risk.

          Chasing 2 bad guys and having a fight trying to get the bag back - not worth the risk.



          I do wish we would dish out much more servere punishment for such crimes.

            Indeed - without effective means of defence (firearms) that are denied to law abiding citizens in this country doing such a thing is stupid. So if you get robbed make sure you give all the cash you got, credit cards with PINs etc...

                Especially since these things in Barking must happen at least once a day, even you stop one you still get 364 occurences in a year to stop.
