  • This breaks my heart. Sophie showed more bravery than most people show in a lifetime. The barbaric nature of the murder shocked even the cold hearted.

  • This is so sad. Nobody should ever be murdered for being themselves or being diffrent and not fitting into "society". She should still be alive and with her loved ones and friends. I will admit that I was scared of Goth's when I first time I saw them until I met some of them and they turned out to be very good people. I hope that haterd agaist people simple because of they're apperance will stop.

  • May her soul rest in eternal darkness..

  • @MrBlackDarkness666 shut the fuck up

  • I THINK I SPEAK FOR ALL GOTH'S WHEN I SAY THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED SHE SHOULD BE ALIVE AND WELL!!!

  • I'm not sure how adding another category to hate crimes will help very much. I wasn't aware committing murder because of the way someone dresses is worse than committing murder for any other reason.

  • y is it that people alway have to fit in to stay safe it's not right at all people shouldn't have to change who they are just to stay safe

  • Wow this is all terrible. I'm never going to allow my kids to do or say anything different or 'alternative'- the risks are just too high.

    Sorry if this isn't 'correct' parenting, but whatever all the other kids are wearing, that's what they will wear. Not that I'm blaming Sophie's parents for what happened to her, but I'd rather my kid be a clone than dead...

  • @SuperTruth77 i would be rather dead than not be who i am!

  • rip sophie

    ahm heavily crying i feel for you honestly xxxxxxxx i hope your okay xxx

  • they will suffer for what they did to her

    they have gone way way WAY to far !!!

    this time

    we will take them back for what they did

  • Thank you for restoring the audio, I don't see why it was breaking copyright laws. That song was dedicated to Sophie.

  • RIP Sophie ur loved by everyone x

  • shame we cant hear the audio but Sophie is such a beautiful young girl and he seems a really nice guy its so so sad that girl should still be alive today noone should be tormented for the way they dress and thise is just like raceisim

  • What can we, the everyday working population, do to stop scum from carrying out these crimes?

    The scum dont have jobs. They don't care about anyone excpet themselves and if they do anything wrong, the law wants to protect THEM. How do I stop this bullshit system...Anyone please tell me?!

  • i just wish i knew the ones who murderd Sophie should be hanged they took a beautiful innicont life and they should die or infect them with smallpox and let them suffer in jail with thise disese without treatment

  • well... while such crimes might be often commited by people who don't work (i don't know the statistics), there are plenty of people, especially in the working class, who facilitate these things by being intolerant, even though maybe not violent. but i've gotten to know plenty of working people who talked very badly mostly about immigrants... but also looking down on basically everyone who is different in one way or another.

  • That may be true but if they are working then thet have less time to go out beating people up and killing them. It is the jobless young people who do most damage.

  • first of all - you asked how to stop this bullshit system. you don't change a system by only caring about a small part of it.

    secondly, come on - you're talking as if something like with sophie happens every day in every city... that's a bit ridiculous... working people have plenty of time starting drunken fights on the weekends...

  • Okay, fair enough but it isn't just Working Class people who cause fights etc. I work face to face with some very well off people and they can be very ignorant and agressive. I guess it is a general end to the ease people find it to turn to aggression because it is always left unchecked and it is the shop assistant/bank worker/PCSO/NHS Nurse who has to "calm them down" and say sorry. Fuck that, they should show more respect.

  • of course it isn't just them, i never would say that.

    but i think you approach reasons and measures from the wrong end. it's always easy to say "things shouldn't be like that, so just change them". that results in a lot of shallow quick fixes like censorship. if you have to check aggression, it's already too late. it's more important to fight the reasons why people get aggressive in the first place. everything else would be just repression and that doesn't solve anything in the long run.

  • The reason people get aggressive is mostly because society allows them to. = Reason.

    Not accepting the aggression = Repression. e.g Corporal and Capital punishment.

    I choose repression please.

  • just so i get this right... you're saying you're for corporal and capital punishment?

  • I think there was more respect for people in the days of Corporal and Capital punishment. Also if my child had been kicked to death the very least I would want is to see the killer/s hanging by their throats and the pathetic family members in tears instead of laughing at the victims family. Don't you think!!

  • yes... but - "IF"... "MY"... these are the two keywords. it is about neither my, nor your child and since you have that distance, you should be able to use your mind instead of giving in to blind rage. as gandhi once said "an eye for an eye, and soon the whole world is blind"...

    but i guess you'd rather take advice from a megalomaniac monarch from around 1700 B.C. than a modest thinker of the 20th century from our side of the calendar?

  • Gandhi only managed to win because he took on the British who were fed up with fighting and were broke. If he'd fought the USSR, he'd have needed guns and bombs!!

    Some examples of where wet liberal ideas or insufficient defence have failed. Chamberlain (WW2)... Tibet vs China... Native North American Indians vs Europe. Give a monster a cookie and watch him eat the whole fucking tin. Bullies need to be fought. Stand up to a bully with proper force and end the bullying.

  • yes... well... i really don't want to get into those wars too, so i'll just say that i don't think gandhi's ideas are applicable everywhere, even though i would use different examples.

    yes, bullies need to be fought - by creating an environment that produces less bullies and punishes the ones that exist (it's ridiculous how apathetic many schools and parents seem to bullying) - with humane punishment! have you ever even bothered to look at the environments bullies usually grow up in?

  • so yes, bullies need to be punished but with something that takes into account that a) most of them are a shitty product of our shitty society and b) gives them the option to rehabilitate themselves. some might be beyond rehabilitation but that's what prisons are for. civilized people deal with their problems and don't just "dispose" of them.

  • damn, forgot one more thing... just to remind people here who might be reading this: think really hard about standing up to a bully yourself. think about whether you want to take the chance that his hurt pride (should you succeed) will cause him to get a knife or a gun or some of his buddies and... pretty much do to you what this video is about...

    and if you're thinking of getting about a couple of buddies on your own... nice one - a gang fight with even more wounded and/or killed...

  • I respect your opinions but overall I think most people are fed with excuses for these why this thug is bored or that one isn't loved enough. Bullshit! There are billions of poor people in Africa dying who deserve life because they are trying their hardest without help. While here in the shit UK, we have wasters who quite simply deserve death and I'd put myself forward for the first execution job that becomes legal. I hate these life wasting scum, They are a disgrace to the universe

  • well, good luck with the cleansing of the society, i'll meet you on the other side of the rifle...

  • I hope not. The one thing we can both agree on is that Sophie deserved better.

    Take care.

  • @truebot

    sorry, misinterpreted one of your comments.

    RIP Sophie

  • @truebot

    Why do you hate goths so much? Why do you think they "deserve death?" Give me a good reason. I highly doubt you can find one.

  • Shame the audio is disabled.

    R.I.P. Sophie Lancaster

  • It is a classic case of the majority making it bad for the minority. You hear more about the bad stuff they do than the good. I saw on the pride of britain awards one of them saved a woman from a train track as a train was on it's way, she was unconcious. But I still feel I want to avoid a group of them, because you hear so much about what they do to passers by, especially if you're "different". Sadly it's common knoledge that most of them are little assholes! (From bitter experience!)

  • Sorry, got my posts mixed up! lol.

  • If that's not bad, what is to them?

  • Sounds like he was robbing them!

  • Well there ya go, see just how smart they are? Aren't they tough, threatening to kill you and your mother, swearing and cursing and calling smart people stupid when they fail to see their own stupidity. Everything that's bad they seem to think is good! Truly the most pathetic humans.

  • I don't play WOW but that sounds about right, lol.

  • I know what you mean, they think they're so great and so tough acting how they do, when in the end, they're nothing. You could blame upbringing, but there are also parents who've done the best they can and they still end up that way, either way, you'd think they'd know the difference, despite how they've been raised, the difference between right and wrong, and life and death. I don't know why they think it's cool to act the way they do, but they do, and sadly, I don't think it'll change.

  • they are just bloddy cowards all of them. : /

  • may there be no more victims like Sophie. RIP.

    support to Sophie's family and friends from denmark.

  • R>I>P> SOPHIE...........

  • R.I.P Sophie

    i feel so sorry for her parents and rob.

    i know how my family and boyfriend would be if it was me

    xxx

  • I'm trying to get a speech together about the sophie foundation at my university (Utrecht University in the Netherlands)

    Though I find it difficult to find any information about the foundation.

    Any suggestions?

    -Lotte

  • poor Rob, he probably still can't get over what happened or sophie's passing feel for him so much x

  • Those who did this awful act should never rest ever. I felt sickened by this news and hope that something good can come out and the community spread the right messages. It's hard to think positive though when such horrible attacks happen. =(

  • Hallo, ich bin ein Junge aus Österreich, der das erst gerade erfahren hat, ich finde das dies sehr traurig ist und sehr schockierend ist. Ich hoffe sie ruht in Frieden.

    Hello I am a boy from Austria, who saw this randomly on youtube, i think this is very sad and shocking. i hope she rests in Peace.

  • Killing someone because they're different...more unique? That's just sad, it's bad enough that people was judged and treated differently but killed? Isn't that just going a little to far...

    Poor Sophie.

  • I'm incredibly disgusted by her death. She was a beautiful girl. So she was different. One of my BEST FRIENDS is 100% punk. To see a girl so much like her die is heartbreaking. Hate crimes are pointless, and I'm entirely in support of the campaign. I'm a "prep" by appearance, but Sophie ... Ugh. Just because I dress like a prep doesn't mean I'm going to be popular or mean, and just because Sophie was a Goth doesn't mean she's a bad person. She's just an individual. I express my fullest sympathy.

  • what happened yes you can dick ect... but what happened was she killed because shes a goth what?

  • it's not about taking down all the chavs or whoever because thats exactly the same thing they are doing to goths, punks etc.

    although those boys should have a longer sentence.

    RIP sophie

  • i knew sophie personally and she was one of the most nicest people who you could ever meet i hope other people never suffer the same fate as she did it were brutal to know she were left for dead R.I.P sophie

  • im sorry for your loss....

    i didnt personally know her,but i know the pain you are going throughmy friend was attacked last year in london,he was chased,beaten and repeatedly stabbed to death at just 14 years old! his trial is ongoing at the moment and i am terrified to think about what pathetic sentences they will get for taking his young life! the scum who did this to sophie should pay for what they've done,their sentences should have been much worse

  • six words: who wants to be a vigilante?

  • yes, justice

  • i know some guys who were going to drive down to bacup and kick in every chav they saw, theyre around 30, so its not just young people that want these wankers dead

  • ooh so so sad story!

  • They got off so lightly because they were minors. In the UK the laws protect minors from getting "too harsh" sentences. I think it is stupid.

    If this was in the states, those boys would have been charged as adults. Every last one of them.

  • I have a cure for all this intolerance.

    Get everyone into alternaive music out of the UK and neutron bomb it.

    Every single inbred, dole-sponging, woman hating, uneducated retard would be wiped out.

    If you turn the other cheek, they'll hit that one too. So don't be niaive...instead of trying to rehabilitate chavs, put a bullet in their heads instead. It's cheaper and quicker.

    And have you ever noticed how chav scum never get cancer?

    Chavs...I hope you all die right now.

  • This is all over the world, though. Not just in the UK.

    I know that I get crap from people here in America at every corner.

  • Indeed. I mean, who could forget what happened to Brian Deneke?

  • Exactly. These things are horrible. People can be really small minded sometimes.

    We have had all these fights and revolutions for freedoms and yet, the world is still stuck in hate.

  • The sentences that those people got are too short!!!

    I hope they'll die in jail and never see freedom again ! They don't deserve it !

  • Ive never been attacked physically but ive been getting years of looks and verbal assaults. I'm doing my first DJ gig in the middle of July and I will be dedicating my entire set, and my entire DJ career, to Sophie's memory. Her passing has effected me greatly, including inspiring me to get into music again.

  • I got attacked by a guy with a metal pole cos of how I was dressed. I won. :P

  • it's sad of what people can do u can dress how u want should get to walk in a park round the street i got atacked by people twice cos the way i dress.

  • R.I.P

    sophies memory will live on in the hearts and minds of those who loved and knew her.

    i have myself been attacked for my dress sense, i have no idea what the answer is. i just hope and pray that someone else does. but remember that hate just breeds more hate.

  • The judge was spot on with his comments but sentences of 16 & 18yrs can hardly be described as 'life'. These vile monsters will only be in their mid 30's when released, plenty of time to enjoy the rest of their useless lives, shack up with some brainless slappers & breed some feral scum of their own, no doubt all expenses paid courtesy of the taxpayer!

  • Dogs are destroyed if they attack so they no longer pose a danger to society - pity the same can't apply to these 2 & their socially retarded accomplices who also joined in the attack on Robert. Sophie didn't get a 2nd chance at life, her injuries so severe - so why on earth should these lowlifes.

  • Like many others, I was unable to make it to this Whitby Gothic Weekend. I've never believed in the death penalty, but hate crimes such as this have forced me to do some serious soul-searching on my views towards pond-life such as these. Hatred can consume a person, these scumbags don't care, so I see being consumed by anger as giving them their victory, I refuse to give them that satisfaction. I hope the law can be changed, I don't feel safe in my home city due to physical and verbal abuse.

  • That's really sad what happened to that girl .

    Those people who've killed her deserve the same fate .

    I never thought that in civilised countries that can happen . I mean I live in Romania where being different always attracts trouble , but killing somebody for that ? It's sad :(

    RIP

  • Bench dedication tomorrow and sentencing on Monday. I wish I could be at this WGW butI will pay my respects to sophie in my own way tomorrow. As for monday lets hope the criminal justice system here gets it right for a change!! Send both of them down for life then name and shame the other free they don't deserve to be protected. Our hearts and thoughts are with Rob and Sophies families. I support the S.O.P.H.I.E campaign all the way x

  • I can't make Whitby either sadly but the campaign will go on. Hopefully ther will be some good coverage in the press.

  • goth rock or anything else to do with the music has not cause a gang to go round looking for fights if the goths, metal, punk and yes even emos got together to take on the chavs the chavs would be out numbered.

  • with white kids trying to be black and back kids trying to act like a rapper when nothing good will come from it, but what they dont understand is that the music lyrics are just a rhyme a word that follows another the rappers who show off with guns its all for the press to see its all a show thier real lives are not much different from anyone else they eat sleep and shit like the rest of the human race but they have to play up for the media so to sell there next album or single.

  • It will never changed the Chavs will always get thier way cause people don't like goth they are scared of it. If they look to where all this chav comes from it comes from RnB music Rap

  • may those fucking chavs and everyone who is fucked up like that get a thorn stem brushed up and down their assholes.

  • I'm just gob-smacked. I don't like to be one of those 'It's all gone to hell in a hand basket' types, but it really HAS gone to hell in a hand basket. I mean, Jesus, they KICKED her to death for how she dressed! For God's sake! It can't have just been the drink, it had to be them, their utter lack of humanity.

  • RIP Sohpie.

    Prison isnt enough for them lads.

    A life for a life.

    For people like that prison is too cosy.

    They will be treated well in prison and when out they will have new identitys.

    They laughed at court and one of the killers mums gave Sophies mum abuse when he was sentenced...its disgusting.

    No words can ever describe them.

    But shows you alot doesnt it.

    Society is fucked up.

    We are meant to all respect each other but chavs dont respect even themselves really.

  • i agree we shud do what the real IRA an Ulster unionists do to the chavs that hurt people up there. I think that "moshers" should form something like that

  • what discussed me about this the most was that the chavs familys were laughin in court

    The bacup chavs need shooting, all off them.

    (which is most of bacup)

    xx

  • I agree with you. LIFE IN JAIL SHOULD MEAN LIFE AND THAT IS THAT!

  • your right they will be out insde 15-20 years thats why we realy need a lynch mb outside court, imsure if enough peple storm the court we could get these lttle cowardly bastards and string them up

  • If i get my hands on d bastards who did this hideous crime, i'll tear them apart wit my bare fucking hands

  • I wish we could all get along, I wish could except all people for who they are,......why can't the human race do that?!!

  • I was so touched by this video, well done for making it.

  • I also just need to say, I never met Sophie, and sadly never will, but I love her dearly. She will be a part of me, my friends, and one day my children if im blessed to have any. Her life is shaping who I am and who I am becoming. RIP sweetheart, we all love you.

  • This is a wonderful tributary video. Thank you for posting it. I've been doing my best to spread the word here in America and will hopefully be able to do some presentations at local high schools.

  • keep up the good work :)

  • There were a few meps and a mp who signed the petition. I think there are plans afoot for more stuff keep an eye on the website

  • rot in hell is not enough, they must rot in life too.

  • Thank you so much for posting this, great video.

  • makes you sick knowing poeple will beat someone to death just because of how they dress.

    i really hope the killers get the life sentence they deserve.

    p.s. hello darkside!

  • This truely helps to get the message out there. No one should ever have to go through anything to this caliber. Let it be known that tragedies such as this cannot go ignored...

    x a n

  • Thank you, another excellent tribute to Sophie, bless you! I will continue to support and contribute to the S.O.P.H.I.E awareness campaign and I would love to learn your video making skills.
