去年底英国发生了一起凶案。起因是一个英国小伙Henry Nowak发现一个锡克人Vickrum Digwa随身带了把长刀。佩刀是锡克人教的传统，但是那天Vickrum Digwa所携带的却不是短的、装饰性的刀。Nowak见状，就对着这个锡克人一通拍摄，这惹恼了Digwa，二人发生口角，继而演变成刀刺，Nowak挨了致命的刀伤。锡克人Digwa的兄弟先报的警，故意声称是他们被种族攻击了（racially abused），警察到达现场后，不顾受害者的伤情，无视Nowark再三的求告说自己“被刺“”呼吸困难“，反倒采信了锡克人那边的说法，把Nowark给拷起来，最终导致其手戴镣铐当街而亡。

这事儿一经报道，舆论兜不住了，指责警方到底是来救人还是来抓人的，一些报道指出，经年累月的反歧视训练，导致警员先入为主，影响了对事实本身的判断。

Vickrum Digwa, a British Sikh, was found guilty by an English court of the murder of 18-year-old student Henry Nowak in Southampton in December 2025. Digwa had been wearing a small ceremonial dagger under his clothing, as Sikhs have a religious obligation to do, but he also had a much larger knife. Nowak noticed that knife and started filming. An altercation followed (details are hazy), which ended with Digwa fatally stabbing Nowak and filming his attempt to escape. That was bad enough, but what really outraged many Brits was the police response. Digwa’s brother had called them, falsely claiming that his brother had been racially abused. These claims were rejected at the trial, but not by the police who arrived at the scene. Trained to believe such allegations, they did not realize the seriousness of Nowak’s injuries and ignored his repeated complaints that he’d been stabbed and couldn’t breathe. Nowak died handcuffed in the street. His death is down to his murderer, the squalor of his last moments to the practices of a state wedded to multiculturalism.

此案经过审理，Digwa杀人罪成立，而且他还向警方撒谎。法庭近期宣判，Vickrum Digwa被判入狱21年，A Sikh man was sentenced to at least 21 years in prison after lying to police that he was the victim of a hate crime, while his 18-year-old victim lay handcuffed and dying. 然而这一判决被认为“太轻“too lenient，上周一英国政府要求上述法庭复核此案…could have his sentence increased after the government Monday asked the appeals court to review it as too lenient.

这本是一个普通的由口角演变成的杀人案件，经过种族、仇恨罪hate crime、多元文化等主题的渲染，在全英国引起了巨大的反响，也折射出当下英国乃至欧美社会的因种族而起的各种明流暗流的涌动，相信此类事件还会继续出现，必将对欧美社会racial fabric是否足够强大构成进一步挑战。
