A 16 year old b-who cares, he’s just a migrant. It’s his own fault, he’s an economic migrant coming to steal our jobs and benefits, if he’d settled in the first European country he came to like a good little refugee he wouldn’t have lost his eye. It’s not the police’s fault, they’re just doing their job. The police feel sad and helpless too. He’s probably not even 16, and is actually a 33 year old terrorist with a beard ready to blow up our own 16 year old boys. But what about all of our own homeless with no eyes? Pack your bags and off you go, back to where you came from.
