Aye. The OP needs a new login I think.Probably not as much coverage cos the flatties don't suspect foul play.

Disappeared into the systemAnother guy missing fairly local, been in the country for a month,Pakistani, staying with his sister, went for a walk in the park about a week back, vanished.
Patrice O’neal has this one covered.19 year old boy missing since 22nd March in London.
Hasn’t had the same level of coverage in the media as the recent Sarah Everard case did, and you wonder if the police are throwing the same man power behind it.
I fear that because he’s a young black lad and not a white woman, a bit of unconscious bias may creep in to some of the media reporting, deciding whether to treat it as seriously as a news story, (no one has so far started a thread on it either) and also police decision making. I hope I’m wrong.
Most of all I hope the lad is found and is safe and well, he has some serious medical conditions so fear for the lad.
Maybe, but his family are worried, he was staying with his sister, she is the one who reported him missing.Disappeared into the system
And yet there was no back off in coverage when a white boy police man was found out to be her killer. Wonder what the press angle would have been if he'd been an unemployed black.Maybe the same level of coverage that the other missing person got. You can’t seriously be denying that there’s been less coverage about this. If it even gets a fleeting mention on the news later I’ll be surprised.
The missing white, middle class woman was top story.
You could say that about every missing person, we haven’t got the resources to treat every missing person case the same.I think such speculation is damaging. You’re being biased, what’s to say there hasn’t been foul play?
If it had been a Muslim Tommy Robinson would have turned up at the trialAnd yet there was no back off in coverage when a white boy police man was found out to be her killer. Wonder what the press angle would have been if he'd been an unemployed black.
It's easy this fingerpointing ping-pong malarkey.
The thing about unconscious bias is you don’t know when it’s taking effect.You could say that about every missing person, we haven’t got the resources to treat every missing person case the same.
It’s got nowt to do with race.
Sarah Everard went missing whilst walking home at night and was totally out of character.
This lad had issues and looks more likely to have ran away from it all. Hope to god he hasn’t took it any further than that
Hope he’s okThere's CCTV footage of Richard in a train station in Essex the morning after he left home, just been shown on sky.
OP is an idiotProbably not as much coverage cos the flatties don't suspect foul play.
He has sickle-cell, he needs regular medication, his family are saying his disappearance is totally out of character.Hope he’s ok
Really mate keep the personal insults and bullying down to a minimum.OP is an idiot
Nah you’re right, they need to be middle class as well to really ‘cut through’.I could be wrong but I don’t think *every* missing/murdered pretty white woman attracts as much attention as this poor Sarah lass did.
Some missing people just cut through to public consciousness a lot more. For example Damilola Taylor, a poor black kid from Peckham is remembered a lot more than the schoolgirl who was murdered in Penshaw at around the same time. I had to google her name - Laura Kane. Yet everyone remembers Damilola, Holly and Jessica and the Man Utd shirts from Soham I presume?
I don’t know if it’s a racial thing. It might be part of it. But some stories just manage to cut through, and once the public feels like it knows a person, the public wants to know all the facts.
That goes both ways. Looking at two vastly different sets of circumstances and drawing a single conclusion that supports your own personal worldview suggests a deep routed bias.If it had been a Muslim Tommy Robinson would have turned up at the trial

Exactly. Pleased to see someone else sees senseThat goes both ways. Looking at two vastly different sets of circumstances and drawing a single conclusion that supports your own personal worldview suggests a deep routed bias.
I hadn't even heard of that case, poor girl.The schoolgirl who was murdered in Penshaw at around the same time. I had to google her name - Laura Kane
