National news: someone threw an egg

[Martial Arts Man]

How can the BBC assert so confidently that it was a race related attack?

Ah, I forgot, race and religion are the same thing in lefty-land.

Two years ago while parked overnight in Bath my car got egged quite badly.

At the time I just washed it off. Now I realise that it was racially motivated because its a black car. Surely it woulndt have happened if it was white.

A funny thing happened to my cousin Tim,
When somebody threw a tomato at him,
Tomatoes are soft,
They don't hurt the skin,
But this bugger did,
It was still in the tin.

Is it because I is cocoa?

Somehow SKY news have managed to miss this story, why else would they be running full non stop coverage 10.00 to 14.00 today of something even less significant to the vast majority of the UK population.

Yes

Nobody has ever before had an egg thrown at them from a car ever!

I was walking home one evening when a car came towards my husband and i and the next thing i know im on the lfoor, horific pain in my chest. I instantly pulled my hand to my chest where i felt a warm wet patch and though i had been shot and it must have be blood.
However it was just an egg. But i can assure you it was very serious and involved a hospital trip and i dread to think what would have happened if it had hit me in the face.

Here's me hoping this was related to Goody

There used to be spates of this round my area on a Friday and Saturday night. The local Corsa driving kids, rather than go out to a pub would just be 4 up in a shopping car, and drive round egging people.

I'd always find a heavy coin, £1 or a £2 and hold onto it in my pocket incase someone tried that trick on me,and i'd pop their back window. A ceramic BB would be better but i was rarely handed one in change...

A friend of mine's dad came out to find his MX5 has been egged, and that left scratches and a dent on the wing.

You must have missed the bit where they compared Jade to Princess Di - both "Beuatiful young women"

That`s strange cos a few years ago the same thing happended to my Corvette overnight in Basingstoke and that was a black car too.

hahaha!

what an eggcelent story.

I remember back in the day a spate of "mcdonalds dipping", which whas where the nova boys would chuck a semi open sweet and sour at people walking alongside the road.

I'm not sure the attacks were ever racist tho, i mean the dip selection was entirely random. If anyone had stopped to select, e.g barbeque for an auzzie, sweet and sour for an oriental etc, the car would have passed the target. Anyways, that would have spoiled the fun - the target selection was based on location / likelyhood of unretalliated excape route, not the ethnicity / morals / beliefs of the victim.

Unless they were fat, of course. Fat people LOVE mcdonalds =)

Why is this getting news inches and the cops' interest, yet witness the multiple car thefts, vandalism, general destruction and people making nuisances of themselves which just attract a crime number

I don't even know where to start with this one - over to you guys...

I can only think of one really racist comment to make, so I won't bother... (in terms of the vehicle in question).

Eggactly, was there a message on the egg?

[MK4 Slowride]

You've got to admit though that throwing an egg from a moving vehicle to hit someone on their bonce is good going.

He should play Cricket for England.

Good point. Seems to be an automatic assumption nowadays; coloured person gets assaulted/insulted then it must be a racist attack.

What happens if blacks beat on a white person? Is that assumed, and broadcast, as racism?

Or is the white man automatically accused and charged for provoking the attack?

[no-worries88]

lets play the racism card!!!!!!!

[rockinatmidnight]

This seems quite serious.... time to get the soldiers out!
