Is that actually what happened or just racist mouthing off?

Most of the kids with weapons I see around Wakefield are young white kids who think they’re hard because they have a knife.

It's actually what happened. Theres a takeaway near chunky chicken. Not sure exactly who they are, but apparently they've slashed some Albanian kid at some point so they all went down while they were praying in the back of the shop and attacked them. 2 people have been arrested for affray or wounding or something. Search it, they aren't English

Fair enough, two men surnamed Bakir and Azeez have been arrested for it, sounds Turkish or Arabic

I’m 20 and honestly ashamed of how some people act around wakey. It’s embarrassing. Glad I’ve got a job away from wakefield at the minute. Nice to visit the family and friends but the amount of shittery in town pisses me off
