Presuming the victim was white and the culprits were non-white, the
killing is considered by anti-racists as a revolutionary act of civil
disobedience, a radical reorientation of the "haves" by the "have nots".
Fear not, Great Britain, you too can become like the USA, and adopt our
progressive racial policies.

Norton's widow Linda said in an interview with BBC television,
recorded before the verdict: "I hope the boys realise and might
know better in the future not to do silly things like this because
I don't suppose half of them realise the consequences of what they
do."
Detective Chief Inspector Phil Adams said outside the court after
the case: "Nobody likes to see children standing in the dock at the
Old Bailey, crying, having been convicted of manslaughter.
"However, your mind must then turn to Mr Norton's family. They have
lost a father, husband and a loved one, and we must not forget
that."
A spokeswoman for the Crown Prosecution Service said in a statement:
"This case highlights the need for young people in gangs who engage
in anti-social behaviour to accept responsibility for the consequences
of their criminal activity."
Judge Warwick McKinnon adjourned sentence until October 19 for
reports, but warned the boys and their families who sat with them
during the trial, that custody was inevitable.
