Man murders friend over "ur gay" argument on WhatsApp, gets 21 years in jail

[Thunderysteak]

From BBC:
A student has been jailed for 21 years for killing his 19-year-old friend over an "utterly trivial" WhatsApp argument.
Paul Akinnuoye and Jordan Wright traded "gay" insults on a group chat on 19 April 2017 before the argument escalated into a fight in Shooters Hill, south-east London.
Mr Wright, who was described as "loving" and "very caring", was fatally stabbed in that fight.
Akinnuoye, from Kent, was sentenced to life with a minimum term of 21 years.
From Independent.co.uk:
Paul Akinnuoye, 20, was part of a WhatsApp chat group with victim Jordan Wright where the pair traded insults.
Akinnuoye, of Tunbridge Wells in Kent, called the 19-year-old a “batty boy” and he retorted: “On your mum’s life I’m straighter than you.”
As the argument escalated, the pair arranged to meet for a fight to settle their differences in Blackheath, southeast London, on 19 April last year.
Akinnuoye was carrying a knife but Mr Wright, who was due to start a construction apprenticeship days later, thought it was a “fist fight”, the court heard.
He was stabbed in the chest and collapsed after telling friends he felt “unwell”. He later died in hospital.
Akinnuoye’s knife was recovered from a bush in the park and he was convicted of murder earlier this year.

toxic masculinity strikes again

[Tetsmega]

He's just mad he didn't use his gay shield in time.

[Mr. Someguy]

I hope he gets kept for life, someone so unstable that they'll kill over that is not stable enough to take part in society.

[LZTYBRN]

[Matlas]

Imagine being this insecure about your sexuality.

wew if the uk gov't could regulate whatsapp like they want, they could have prevented this!!!

[Daddy-of-war]

Wait so they planned to fight it out and settle it like men? And then one of em goes and stabs the other? What a fucking gaping cunt...
I don't support violence, I do believe sometimes a good fist fight can help you see the stupidity when it comes to friends, but this guy went and did
the yellowbelly thing and stabbed the dude? Hope he lives with the regret of it for a long time to come.
