Here is what that comment said:
So - it starts.
This is a new one for Wigan isn't it. It's not so much the violent crime; native British people engage in violent crime too, but normally, if British vioent criminals are going to use a weapon to do it, the tendency is to use a pick handle or such-like. The casual first resort to a machete is a peculiarly African phenomenon - for example, the vast majority of deaths in the Rwandan atrocity were inflicted by machete.
As soon as I read the word 'machete' I knew what the perp description would be.
As "enrichment" increases here, so will this sort of crime. It's the police that are going to be facing down these kinds of perps - why don't they start making representations about the enrichment? After the first local cop gets hacked to death? Anyone remember Keith Blakelock in London? I do. Think about it Constable Localcop.
I have the relevant before/after screengrabs, including both pages of the story.
Still, at least the comment stayed up until quite well on in the evening, so plenty of people will have read it.
