Eighteen-year-old Henry Nowak was stabbed, arrested, and denied medical attention after his killer falsely accused him of racism. If this doesn’t sound real, I implore you to watch the bodycam footage yourself. Britain is currently melting down over it.Nowak was walking home from a night out in Southampton when he crossed paths with Vickrum Digwa. The video recovered from Nowak’s phone, which Digwa tried to hide, contains none of the racial abuse he would later allege. Nowak made a passing remark, and Digwa responded by stabbing him repeatedly before summoning his brother to help taunt, restrain, and film the boy as he bled out.A neighbor called the police, but so did Digwa’s brother, who told the operator, “We’ve just got attacked, racially, by some white person,” omitting, of course, that Nowak was rapidly dying and that no such “attack” had taken place. It is incredible that they assumed this could work, that officers would find Nowak lying face down in his own blood and arrest him rather than the Digwa brothers.

But modern Britain is an incredible place. Nowak said nine times that he couldn’t breathe, while Digwa shouted that he was “pretending” and “racist.” The police agreed. When Nowak said, for the fourth time, that he had been stabbed, an officer replied: “Don’t think you have, mate!” Nowak died after he was forced into cuffs, minutes from the city’s largest hospital, while multiple officers listened dutifully to Digwa’s fabrications.
