A 74 year old man was walking home at 8.15 when he Was attacked , beaten black and blue and stabbed in the stomach . He was robbed and left in the dark in the park .

An absolutely horrendous senseless crime that if anyone witnessed please call the police !

The culprits were two black youths , one tall with a beard and one short boy .

I personally know no more as this has been posted on face book 😡

This is how the daughter of the man who was attacked described them .


If this is how someone close to the attack described the attackers I think it is legitimate to use the term, perhaps more helpful in retrospect if the description was put in quotes - perhaps saying 'described as ...' To someone who is in their mid seventies (I am pushing towards that) the relative youth of the attackers may have been a salient point - being attacked by 'boys' may be more worrying than being attacked by grown men - although a bearded boy does leave me slightly confused. Some adolescents nowadays do seem to have straggly beards I have noticed.


Amended to add - even someone in his mid-seventies, unless he was either an American from the South or South African, would be unlikely to use the word 'boy' as a general pejorative to describe someone of African descent. It is not UK usage, I would have thought.

Pot. Kettle. Black. If you'll pardon the phrase...


Back on topic, I personally find the use of the word 'black boy' unhelpful as a description when that is all that is goven - the other thread was a perfect example of this. Here there are more details given, which gives a better impression of someone trying to give a description, and from the sounds of it that's probably all they could ascertain of these heinous young fools.


I wonder though, would it have seemed half as offensive if it had been 'black male youths'? Language evolves over time.


I hope the victim mounts a full recovery, no one deserves such brutality.

Are you actually calling me a 'Daily Mail style commenter'?? Really? What an ignorant, first-class a******* you are.


Take your half-baked, half-witted opinions and shove them where the sun don't shine, you tosser. You obviously know sod-all about me.

I am half black and I describe black people as black people. Black people call themselves black too. Fancy that. Are we racist to ourselves? But obviously More details would be helpful in the sense of clothes, height, any distinguishing marks? So that we know who to look out for.

I hope they are caught soon before they do this to someone else.

That?s what the facebook plee said and no more of a description of the boys/men or where in the park . I thought just a warning on here would be helpful and also people would want to know , I?m kind of regretting posting this now !

There is also a picture of the poor man with a very bruised face but I thought better of posting that as very upsetting

And I'm thoroughly delighted that that's the case, I can assure you.

No of course it's not racist to use the term "black people" per se. But when, as happens often on this forum, details of a crime are posted with just the details that they were committed by "black boys," "a black man" etc and nothing else, does that help anybody? Are we all to keep a careful eye out for "black boys"? To my mind all it does is promote a negative stereotype and won't do anything at all to assist in the apprehension of the perpetrators.

I could find no record of this incident having been reported on elsewhere which given the seriousness of it was surprising. It was not on the met police website under Southwark or South London. I rang the Met Police non emergency help line this morning and they confirmed they have no record of this event in Peckham Rye Park or Peckham Rye common.

I've removed unnecessary posts. I'm getting rather fed up of people having to state their opinion about something that takes away from the serious context of the main message.


Please stay on topic.

      Be careful on the pavements...

      By Dave 3 · Posted

      It’s a 4 year old on a bike do you really think he is going 15mph. Grown adults complaining about a child who probably isn’t able to string a few sentences together says a lot about the people in this forum. If this member was hit from behind the father was probably walking behind the bike so I don’t get the point of stretching out an overreaction from a child in Nursery bumping into you. Grow up Obviously a four year old should be cycling on the pavement.

      Malumbu,  if none of us were there, does that mean that nobody should post anything on here unless they have witnesses from the EDF? Why would someone post something like this if it  wasn't true? This is not about whether children should or should not be cycling on the pavement. There are specific issues. a) the child was out of sight of the person supposed to be caring for him b) he appears to have been  either not looking where he was going or was out of control of the bike c) if he did see that he was about to hit someone  he apparently did not give them any kind of warning  d)  a person was unexpectedly hit from behind whilst just walking along, which in my view makes him a victim e) does the title of the thread really matter as the issue was described in the first post?  f) nobody is blaming the child, they are blaming the person who should have been watching him g) do you really think it was acceptable for that person to find the situation funny? The OP was not complaining about the 4 year old. They were complaining about an adult's lack of supervision of a 4 year old who was not capable of riding a bike and who hit someone from behind with no warning. Also, apart from reading the OP more carefully, perhaps also choose your words more carefully. Jobless? Lunatic? Charming.

      I have to say, I too am upset about the passing of DulwichFox. He was a real local character, who unlike me, managed to stick with ED despite all of the nauseous yuppification of the last three decades. R.I.P to foxy    Louisa.
