Our psychosis about racism after George Floyd died under the knee of a Minneapolis policeman in 2020 has led to the reciprocal murder of a clean-cut young white man 4,000 miles away in England.On a city street last December, Vikrum Digwa, 23, murdered Henry Nowak, 18, with the kirpan dagger he carries as a Sikh. Digwa stabbed Nowak five times, once fatally in his chest, and also in his face and legs.Police officers extraordinarily failed to notice this when they arrived at the scene, despite Nowak bleeding out in front of them, drowning in his own blood, and gasping, “I can’t breathe.”

These were also the last words of Floyd, a crazed black drug abuser, in Minneapolis. But Nowak was white and his killer, found guilty of murder this week, was not. So police officers, indoctrinated with multicultural nonsense, allowed their racist anti-racism to obliterate common sense and the evidence of their eyes.
Digwa accused Nowak of racism, so police handcuffed the victim and dickered around while he died. The killer denied stabbing Nowak, to which a female officer replied, “I know, but we have to check, don’t we?” This sickening response captures two appalling yet unsurprising facts: First, anti-racism supersedes the police duty to respond to a life-threatening emergency and to investigate the truth; second, their modus operandi is to proceed to a forgone conclusion while checking a few bureaucratic boxes on the way.
