[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are all the UK tabloids saying this is based on a story of a black 13 yo immigrant snapping and knifing a white girl?

Is that true? And the director chose to make the killer a white boy with mental issues? [/quote]

Because it is true.  The media in the UK is pushing a narrative, and reality is inconvenient. [/quote]

It must be tough to be low information

There were four stabbings at schools in my non DMV area. Newsflash: it's a highly segregated area so boys were knifing girls of their own race.

"Is Adolescence a true story?
While Jamie’s story told in Adolescence isn’t based on a single incident, it does draw influence from a handful of real-life reports of young boys involved in knife crimes. In March 2023, there were almost 18,500 cautions and convictions made for possession of a knife, and 17.3 percent of those offenders were between the ages of 10 and 17, per the House of Commons library.
It shocked me. I was thinking, ‘What’s going on? What’s happening in society where a boy stabs a girl to death? What’s the inciting incident here?’ And then it happened again, and it happened again, and it happened again. I really just wanted to shine a light on it, and ask, ‘Why is this happening today? What’s going on? How have we come to this?’” Graham told Netflix’s Tudum.

“We could have made a drama about gangs and knife crime, or about a kid whose mother is an alcoholic or whose father is a violent abuser,” he continued. “Instead, we wanted you to look at this family and think, ‘My God. This could be happening to us,’ and what’s happening here is an ordinary family’s worst nightmare.’”"

“We want everyone to think this could happen to them.”????

The govt wants to incite panic like that and then what?

True social media and video games allow you the disassociate from actually killing a human. Worked for Luigi Mangione too. Just radicalize and rationale your planned murder.

But most people are moral and ethical, and physically not capable of knifing someone to death or shooting them in the back (unless in self defense mode with good instincts and bias towards action).

But going around saying this is going to happen more and more and everywhere in huge volumes is false.  [/quote]
