Just called an ambulance? You'd better be white...

[HoreTore]

Agreed there. Pre-emptive equality strike is a bit much though, the fact this is such a big thing in Norway shows that there is really nothing to worry about. Crazy vikings, they all want to live in the most racist country.

I'm not at all worried by our ambulance drivers(or any other trade) being full of incompetent bigots. I am, however, pissed that our system is utterly incapable of handling the situation when such a thing occurs. The administration at Ullevål hospital has shown themselves just as incapable in just about every situation in this case.

The initial reporting of this incident was completely justified. A wounded man ending up in a coma with the ambulance leaving? Of course that should be a front-page story. However, the case could've died there, if two things happened:

1. The ambulance drivers apologized.
2. The administration apologized.

But they didn't, and instead they only made things worse by being arrogant yet again.

Apoligy seems in order, but are they to apoligize for leaving denying a man help, or are they to apoligize for denying a black man help. Seems like Norway has already made up it's mind about the what and why, getting the impression that they want this to be racism. Which it probably is.

Blind Norwegians are desperate. They rely a good deal on taxis for their transport. Most taxi-drivers are immigrants. However, being mostly Muslim, they often refuse to accept dogs in their taxis. Including guide dogs of the visually impaired.

Muslims muslims muslims ...hey Frag most taxi drivers don't like dogs in their cabs and will refuse carriage . In the same way that most buses won't take dogs .

Don't really care. But "apologizing for denying Ali Farah help" would be most appropriate, methinks.

That was actually Louis' statement, tribes

Yes, about an average of one newspaper article per day for the last one and a half years...

And this is why I name this case a media hype. The paramedics have already been found guilty of both medical malfunction and of racism. Apologies have long since been issued. But the self-loathing and witchhunt won't stop, the case has become too much of a symbol of everything that's wrong with evil apartheid state Norway.


Of course, the story could, arguably with more reason, be presented as: 'Man sitting in park brutally beaten into coma by immigrant.* Public violence has gotten so out of hand that paramedics now always need to take their own safety into account. This is leading to tragic cases of patients not receiving adequate medical care.'

Here's the racism: Norwegian media and public opinion are to racist to describe this case and their society in these terms. Whatever happens, never mention anything negative about non-whites - all's well and there is no problem whatsoever. Instead, reserve all alarm over white racism.
Sleep well, and prepare yourself for ever more of these cases, Norway.


*If not out of sheer statistical chance, we can of course safely assume the attacker is an immigrant because if he were white, we would not have heard the end of it from HoreTore.

Seems like a rather toasty day for a Norwegian December. Oh wait, this is from, August of last year?!

What is this from? "Outrage of the Day" magazine?

[HoreTore]

Apologies have long since been issued.

No, they haven't, and that's the problem. Farah and one of the ambulance drivers, Schjenken, worked things out a few days ago. No apology from the administration yet. And that's the real problem here, arrogance.

The final verdict in the case came a few days ago.

Oh really?

Reading this thread it seems that your problem is racism.

Christ, you want racism? Go to India, my Tamil friend has enough stories to give you a thousand angry threads.

Racism, unlike those who posses it, knows neither ethnic nor national boundaries.

As it turns out it could be worse
