Ive just had a quick look at it and clicked on 5 random people on there supporting him and having a go at the victim and 4 of them were from Sunderland.
It's unfortunate to think about but if the shoe was on the other foot, we'd have the same troglodytes from Newcastle come out of the woodwork with this kind of putrid nonsense.
Nah they're a different breed altogether. Spend an hour in Sunderland and you'd see what a backward place it still is. No surprise at all to see them sympathise with him and berate the victim. I wouldn't have expected anything else.
Oh I know, it's like 60s Warsaw in parts, but there's plenty of absolute filth living in Newcastle/Tyneside who would share similar opinions. People are scum and facebook/twitter showcase that tragically well.
Don't know why this needs to be turned around onto the people of Newcastle so I'm going to leave it at that mate.
Thing is, he's right though. We think we have the high ground because we are, by and large, decent people. Likely the majority of our friends who support Newcastle are decent people. When we see the mackems, we see the inbred goblinshite part of their populace and so we associate the entire place as being like that. Same way the decent mackems (and I admit, that hurt me to type) likely only see the horse punching bedsheet brigade who SKY love to interview. We only see the worst of the other side, in the main.
