On the treatment of Henry Nowak: it didn’t happen in a vacuum
Yesterday I wrote about Henry Nowak’s murder and his terrible treatment by the British police. But here are some thoughts on the bigger picture of disparate treatment, of which his death is emblematic.
Britain is even further along on this “the brown minorities are always right” road than we are here. For example, one of the first things that came to mind for me were the Rotherham rapes in which Muslim (mostly Pakistani) men groomed and raped underage white British girls. I recalled that not only was the situation allowed to continue for decades, despite constant reports, because British authorities feared upsetting the Muslim immigrant communities by pointing the finger at them, but also that some of the Rotherham victims were themselves arrested. Checking to see if that memory was accurate, I found this sort of thing [emphasis mine]:
On a number of occasions, victims of sexual abuse [in Rotherham] were criminalised – arrested for being drunk – while their abusers continued to act with impunity. Vital evidence was ignored, Jay said, with police apparently trying to manipulate their figures for child sexual exploitation by removing from their monitoring process girls who were pregnant or had given birth, plus all looked after children in care.
Blame the victims, not the perpetrators, if it was racially woke to do so.
Also, we could go all the way back to the post-9/11 emphasis in the US on a backlash “Islamophobia” which really didn’t even exist to any extent. There was a bending over backwards to make Muslims in the US the potential victims.
In Britain, there’s also the phenomenon in which Jews are being told not to wear symbols of their religion so as not to inflame or enrage their persecutors, rather than punishing the demonstrators harassing them. And some Jews have been arrested; for example these cases:
(1) Niyak Ghorbani:
Niyak Ghorbani, 37, waved the sign in the middle of last Saturday’s rally before protesters turned on him leading to a confrontation.
Police said he was arrested for assault before being de-arrested after officers reviewed footage. …
Ghorbani said that he would make a complaint after the incident and that he was not given back his sign.
He said: “[Police] told me that it is a danger for [my] life and for the people when they see maybe attack [me]. I told the police they attacked me and I want to complain and they say go to police station near your home.”
(2) Gideon Falter:
London’s police force has been forced to issue two apologies after officers threatened to arrest an “openly Jewish” man if he refused to leave the area around a pro-Palestinian march because his presence risked provoking the demonstrators.
Gideon Falter, chief executive of the Campaign Against Antisemitism, was wearing a traditional Jewish skullcap when he was stopped by police while trying to cross a street in central London as demonstrators filed past on April 13.
One officer told Falter he was worried that the man’s “quite openly Jewish” appearance could provoke a reaction from the protesters, according to video posted by the campaign group. A second officer then told Falter he would be arrested if he refused to be escorted out of the area because he was “causing a breach of the peace.”
Here’s another article on the phenomenon. Fortunately, none of those incidents caused serious physical harm, but they are indicative of the same trend of placating the country’s Muslim population at the expense of white British natives and of Jews.
As I said, it’s not quite as bad in the US; at least, not yet. But there is the MSM believing Hamas reports on the Gazan conflict, which exploit this same “brown people are automatically the truthful victims” mentality. This is in line with fake hate crimes here (Jussie Smollett, take a bow), a tactic which began long ago (Tawana Brawley, for example). The belief in the veracity of a once-persecuted group came originally from the desire to correct what used to be the opposite – the automatic belief in the white person even if that person was lying. But what started out as a needed correction ultimately became a dangerous overcorrection.
Will the same dynamic be at play in the Karmelo Anthony trial now beginning? He will be pleading racism on the part of the victim, whom he allegedly stabbed and killed with little to no provocation.
Then we also have the coverup – until recently, anyway – of various kinds of government aid fraud perpetuated by Somalis and allowed to go on for fear of being called a racist if it were to be exposed and prosecuted. Officials would rather lose billions of dollars than be called racists.
All I want to know is when are our elected leaders planning to do something about this scourge of Amish violence!
White milk, white bread, what’s next vanilla ice cream? We already have been told those Ice People are demons.
Say nothing about a white bar of soap and hand washing…..
But nonetheless I prefer to eat with knives, forks, and spoons, or chopsticks. Not with fingers in a communal bowl.
How racist.
The ruling twits in Great Britain wanted to import a new population of voters after destroying their country with socialism (brief respite by Maggie) and of course they are now captive to the alien cultures they imported.

West Yorkshire Chief Constable Sir John Robins. That’s right he’s been knighted.
What is he known for? Start here and this attitude is country wide in the UK Police Forces. Police go to mosques in the UK and seek permission from Imam’s as to what race/ethnicity of police they want.
The Daily Telegraph – April 11, 2025
“I want to discriminate against white candidates, says police chief
Chief constable accused of ‘racist’ recruitment policy supports law change to bolster ethnic minority numbers.”
A chief constable accused of having a “racist” recruitment policy has said he wants discrimination against white British candidates to be legal.
Chief Constable John Robins, the head of West Yorkshire Police, said the law should be changed in order to boost the number of ethnic minorities in his force and across the country.
It comes as the force faces a backlash for putting a temporary block on the hiring of white candidates – a move that could potentially amount to positive discrimination, which is currently illegal in England and Wales.
In a move likely to fuel fresh tensions, Mr Robins said he stood by previous comments that “legislation should change” so that forces were free to positively discriminate in favour of ethnic minorities.
A spokesman said: “The Chief Constable’s position has not changed. It is a national view that he holds.”
Neil O’Brien, Conservative MP for Harborough, Oadby and Wigston, said: “What West Yorkshire police are doing with their racist hiring policies and division of different ethnic groups is skirting the edge of the law. It is no surprise to discover they have been pushing for the law to be changed to legalise these racist hiring policies.
“With gun crime in West Yorkshire at a record high, many people might think local police might have more important things to be focusing on.”
Positive discrimination, which has historically been popular in the US, is when a minority candidate is given preferential treatment when applying for a job rather than being judged on merit. This can range all the way to only allowing candidates from a particular minority group to apply for a role.
Mr Robins argued in 2023 that positive discrimination in favour of Catholics had succeeded in boosting their representation in the Northern Ireland police service after the Good Friday Agreement.
He said: “It worked in terms of religion in Northern Ireland. We’ve tried really, really hard over many decades, especially in the last five to 10 years, but there’s just systemic issues around applications. I think the time has now come that legislation should change so that we should [use] positive discrimination.”
He stressed that this would involve “no change in [the] standard of recruitment” and would give people from under-represented groups the best opportunity to find employment.”
Derek Chauvin might disagree that things are not quite as bad in this country.
This kind of thing makes my blood boil. But the fact is, the British police and politicians are scared of their new residents recently arrived from East Asia. Tribal behaviors have come ashore, and the Brits, like the Swedes, don’t know what to do about it.
I never dreamed that maintaining public safety and law and order would not be winning issues in the 21st century in the USA and Great Britain. Our biggest mistake of the last 70 years has been to drop social and political assimilation–the Melting Pot– as a goal for all new arrivals in the USA.

According to some, the immigrants to the UK from the Indian subcontinent are not “East Asians.” I assume you were also mistaken in hearing that terminology from those ignorant indigenous English. They should know better. (sarc)

Was wondering about the Anthony case. While the law, as the law, about such things isn’t as bad as in Britain, nor is its implementation, the resemblance socially is very strong.
An issue which I think is illustrative is the killing of Tyre Nichols by a bunch of Memphis cops. It was going to be a Thing. Innocent black man going about his business beaten to death by a car load of Memphis cops. Couple of places I look at from time to time were tuning up the Highly Virtuous Moral Posturing and….then it fell off the table. The cops in question were black. So it didn’t even happen and the Directors of Ostentatious Outrage told the Just and Righeous to keep their fool mouths shut. Which the latter dutifully did. The settlement with Memphis is in the area of half a billion dollars and goes before a jury in November. Point is, it wasn’t JUST a rogue cop but the case that Memphis’ policies got the Nichols guy killed. But it didn’t happen any more than the Waukesha massacre. The latter was pretty routine. It didn’t happen from the start. That was natural. The Nichols case had to be shut down once the facts got out. Kind of makes the case.
All of which said, such things are not as baked into law enforcement here the way they are in the UK.

Forced removal seems to be the only option left. I think that the alternative is a cooperative vener of native Britons appearing to run thing but taking orders from those groups that hold the power. Only more so then today.

I know Sikhs are allowed the ceremonial knife, the “kirpan”. Nowak was killed with, if I get the reports right, a substantial dagger. Are Sikhs allowed knives the rest of the British, or at least the English, are not?
And, just for fun, compare the social outrage over the Kyle Rittenhouse case and the Waukesha massacre. Darrelll Brooks ( aka “who? never heard of him) killed three times as many people as Rittenhouse did, none of whom were chasing him and trying to kill him. Plus crippled dozens more.
Soros prosecutor WRT Brooks, IIRC.
IOW the exact same playbook as the WEF/WTF, the EU, Starmer’s Kingdom, Carney’s/Trudeau’s Canada and DPUSA’s Amerikkka, etc.
Heh, speaking of Starmer’s Kingdom…
“HENRY NOWAK: THE CALL FOR CALM”—

Opening grafs:
But of course!
I know Sikhs are allowed the ceremonial knife, the “kirpan”. Nowak was killed with, if I get the reports right, a substantial dagger. Are Sikhs allowed knives the rest of the British, or at least the English, are not?
From what I have read, everyone is(?) allowed a knife of blade less than 3 inches, although there may be a further stipulation that it folds, but I am not 100% certain on the law. I’ve also seen mention that while the Sikh religion requires carrying a blade, a small 2-inch ceremonial dagger worn as a pendant around the neck, under the clothing, fulfills the requirement. Digwa was wearing one of those, therefore fulfilling his Sikh religious duties. He also apparently belongs to a Sikh sect where a second, larger knife/dagger/sword carried outside the clothing is “customary”. This second blade is illegal under UK law, and also is *not* required by the general Sikh religion and is not part of the Sikh exemption.
This second 8-inch blade, carried outside Digwa’s clothing was what prompted the tipsy Nowak to call Digwa a badman, a gangsta, after they apparently collided on the sidewalk. I’ve seen gangsta’s carrying pistols tucked into the elastic waistband of their soccer shorts in Walmart, and do my best to avoid bumping into them, making eye contact, etc. (I am unsure if this state allows open carry, but legal open carriers generally use proper holsters). But I’m also sober and on alert, and there’s a reason I never visit local bars, clubs, pubs, or anything else that would require me to walk down the street after dark, even with only one drink in me. Sad, but there you have it.
PS I got most of my info from links here, at Instapundit, and at Samizdata. MilleniumWoes on Substack has a good summary.
In the UK Sikhs get a legal exception for carrying a kirpin, a knife usually 3-6 inches long, but can be longer:
https://www.sikhnet.com/news/sikhs-uk-are-allowed-keep-large-kirpans
Though schools and colleges are allowed to reduce the size. I understand the UK is now reconsidering that exemption.
So now it’s merely “Just Following Orders”…

Presuming the cops were actual human beings of the western culture when they started, I figured they’d need to be cured of that before being on the street.
Somebody should start the Church of Fairbairn. Each adherent is required to carry two, one for the left hand when the other guy is looking at the right hand. Says so in the Bible. Someplace. But you have to be English to qualify. Says so in the Bible. Someplace.
Admittedly a bit too much to expect them to admit they’re totally morally bankrupt.
The fish, as they say, stinks from the head…and the current head is a National arsonist.
Though to be fair to this particular pyromaniac, he too is merely following orders…of the the EU/WEF variety.
Richard Aubrey,
I agree with your point that the corruption of police Criminal Justice in the USA hasn’t gotten to the point it has in the UK. But, as you write, “the resemblance socially is very strong.” That resemblance includes Jury Nullification (O. J. Simpson), as well as intimidation of a jury, and prosecutorial corruption (George Floyd).
The writer Arthur Koestler (‘Darkness at Noon’) was himself a former Communist, and he wrote about how when he was under the control of that ideology he couldn’t see things that were right in front of his eyes. He describes a mental mechanism that selectively processes information—essentially a cognitive “sorting” or filtering process that discards or rationalizes away inconvenient facts while preserving ideological consistency. “By setting up this automatic sorting machine in his mind, it was still possible in 1932 for a European to live in Russia and yet to remain a Communist.”
I think something like that is going on here: the words and categories (racist!) are more real than the actual visible events seen by one directly
…And yet, for all his brilliance, Koestler was only able to rationalize supporting the Allies during WWII as “the lesser of two evils”….
