Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

The people who were almost hit look like Arabs, based on their clothing. Everyone here is cheering the attack because of the cars parked outside but people were almost hit by molotovs. You're cool with the attack if it turns out to be racially motivated? Or because they were Muslim?
Yeah, I was kind of wondering whether the firebombers were right-wing, and racially motivated, or left-wing, after wealthy people.
I will say one thing, that either way, any property damage probably is covered by insurance, so it gets paid for by slightly driving up British insurance premiums.
To be fair the motive could also be non-political like some kind of personal vendetta
Indian wedding, likely racist attack.
