    Eritreans are very organized people and their diaspora pay tax to their government in Asmara, i dont see Somalis doing that.

    This is really simple to understand. Nothing can be done if the people are unorganized, lack direction to the future...

    They are the complete antithesis to everything a Muslim woman should be. Too bad many Somali girls have been spooked with the spectre of 'patriarchy' and have been converted to the mindless and hate-filled drones that swell the ranks of todays feminist movement.

    Be careful there, these heathens don't like the idea of gender roles.

    Much more, saaxib. It used to be all northerners (those that claim SL and those that don't). But after 97, the doors to Xamar were opened and thousands arrived (not to mention those that Alpha lovingly refers to as Eurotrash).
    :D

    So would you say the Northerners are more established (involved in politics, own acres, businesses) in the UK today? Or is it hard to say?

    if not capitalism what do you want then ? so we can know your stance

    People that argue to knock capitalism, but yet refuse to say where they stand on this issue are just wasting your time and have no idea what they're talking about...Provide your damn alternative say.

     

    1. Other say capitalism work and provided their reasons

    2. you counter and say capitalism is "evil", so provide us with your stance then.

    And how do people become "known to police" and thus described as such by the police if they end up dead?

    Another example for the blondy,

     

    One of the articles I posted, the victim faced cocaine trafficking charges at time of death : http://news.nationalpost.com/2012/06/05/eaton-centre-shooting-ahmed-hassan/

     

    I'm discussing specifically about the articles I posted blondy.

    ... except I've made perfect sense and articulated myself clearly and cogently in this thread, while you've not only continued to deny the evidence refuting the points you've tried to make here (if you want to even call them points), you've made yourself look like a moron in the process. The fact of the matter is that being "known to police" is a description for anyone who has been *documented* by police in primarily non-criminal encounters, and those who are documented by and therefore "known to police" are overwhelmingly black males.

    Once again, no one has time for your irrelevant nonsense. Maybe a checklist would help you to see things more clearly

     

    1. We're discussing Somalis guys being gunned down in this thread

    2. The latest shootings involving Somalis were all "known to police" as the Police say (see these articles)

    3. The Police is using The term "known to police" as a description because they were individuals with criminal activity in the past according to the police, are you denying this?

     

    Shut-up already.

    Helped you out and transcribed part of the Toronto Star video explaining the process of how people come to be "known to police":

     

    "Every year, Toronto Police stop, question and document hundreds of thousands of people in encounters that typically don't involve an arrest or any charges. They stop people on foot, on bicycles, and in vehicles for reasons such as general investigation, related to a radio call, loitering, suspicious activity, or as the result of a traffic stop. They ask for your name, date of birth, phone number, address, height, and weight. If you're with some other people, they do the same for them and note that all of you were documented together. You're henceforth known as "associates." They also make a note of physical descriptions, including skin colour. There are four choices, white, black, brown and other. All of this is documented on a small white card called a Field Information Report, or a "contact card." Most of the people documented are law abiding citizens. Fewer than 1 in 5 of the more than 700,000 people who were carded between 2008 and 2011 had been arrested in the past decade. So what happens to all this data? The information is entered into a massive police database that has no purging requirements. It is searched by police following crimes for possible suspects, witnesses and associates. Police call it a valuable tool, and officers are encouraged to document citizens."

    )

     

    And here's an interactive map that shows how young black men are 3.2 times more likely to be documented by Toronto Police than whites:

     

    Bye!

    All that discrimination stuff you're posting is irrelevant....

     

    Staying on Topic

    1. Police say all the Somali victims were "Known to police" (see the articles I posted on pg.1) .Those individuals were involved in criminal activity they're implying.

     

    The term "known to police" involves a person with criminal activity in the past, you seem to agree.....

    No one is talking about how the system is disadvantaging the black man. We're discussing about those specific individuals that were "known to police" because of their criminal past.

    Did you even read the Toronto Star report I posted twice now? I'm not "disagreeing" with you - a disagreement implies a difference of opinion - I am telling you that you're wrong and I provided the evidence for it.

     

     

     

    How else am I supposed to put it? I just walked you through your own logic to point out why that question is ridiculous and irrelevant in the context of your own posts and the discussion at hand.

    Silly lol...

     

    How did I incorrectly define the term "known to police" ? Are you disagreeing the fact that I said its a person involved in criminal activity?

    But..."Known to police" could also be a person involved with criminal activity in the past right?

    Of course it can, but the statistics show that the vast majority are not. You're still wrong. Thanks for playing.

     

    And my question still remains, are the Somali victims who are labelled "known to police" (stay within the context of this thread) that I posted earlier wrongfully booked by the police since you say " vast majority are not"
