Highlighting the race of the murderers in the opening sentence is racist. To omit their race conceals nothing as this is stated later in the article. The opening sentence of an article should contain only the most important facts. Highlighting race in the opening sentence means that their race is one of the most important facts about the case. Consider a news headline "3 black men have rowed across the Channel". Would you say to someone, "I'm going cycling tomorrow with some BLACK friends"? No. There are many negative prejudices towards black people, especially young black men - namely that they are violent, sexually aggressive, antisocial etc. Wikipedia should not be used to reinforce those prejudices.
It is possible that the 30 pints included transfused blood. This would explain the fact that the victim only started with seven pints. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.27.11.202 (talk) 12:10, 20 April 2013 (UTC)
was murdered after being stabbed to death 8 times by youths, just days after finishing his GCSE's.
He was stabbed to death eight times? That must be a record number of ressurections. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 61.9.146.23 (talk) 01:27, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
WWGB, a user in Australia, has deleted the fact the suspects (Juress Kika, Jade Braithwaite, Michael Alleyne) belong to the black community. Why is the fact they are black a taboo? What relevance is the Kinsella case to an Australian? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chiliwack2002 (talk • contribs)

It is young black kids doing almost all of these murders. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.67.143.1 (talk) 09:16, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
The fact that the killers are black must be stated. Much of the media have deliberately omitted that, but it is fact: a) eyewitness reports; b) media reports that did state the race; c) the 3 remanded are all black. In reply to the person mentioning UK Prime Ministers, no-one is trying to suppress the fact that Gordon Brown, Tony Blair and all UK PMs have been white. There are many pictures of Brown, Blair, John Major, Margaret Thatcher, Ted Heath, James Callaghan, Wilson etc (including on Wikipedia) that clearly show them to be white. On the other hand, there are many instances of the pictures of recent victims of murder in London etc., taken when they were alive, shown by the media. As is clear, most victims of murder in London are black. Much less commonly shown are pictures/footage of the killers, most of whom are black. In recent years, most murders in London, especially those committed with knives and guns, are perpetrated by blacks; do not pretend otherwise, nor try to cover up the truth. 'Political correctness' has no place on an encyclopedia; the public have a right to know the facts. No-one would dispute the fact that most murderers are male, that most murderers are below-average intelligence, nor that most murderers are (relatively) young. No-one would want to hide the fact that each of Ben's killers are both young and male. If their age ang gender is relevant (which it is, then their race is as well). To try to block the truth about race and crime can only be done for propaganda purposes. Look at the incarceration rates for blacks compared to whites if you still don't accept the truth.Werdnawerdna (talk) 17:06, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
Unlike the Donald and Walker cases, it is not, despite specualtion, yet proved that this murder was racially motivated. That's why the article is not currently in the Hate crimes category.
This murder was a high-profile case, which received, and still receives, a great deal of media coverage. He was an innocent, well-liked and locally popular victim. He was not, for example, a drug-dealer killed by another drug-dealer to eliminate the competition. He had bit parts in TV programmes, so it could be inferred that he had just began an acting career. He had celebrity connections: his sister Brooke is a moderately well known actress; he was friends with Linda Robson's son and niece. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Werdnawerdna (talk • contribs) 17:51, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
A main article has been created on the murder of Kinsella. It is significant in the same way as the Murder of Damilola Taylor article. See Murder of Ben Kinsella. —Preceding unsigned comment added by ChowMeinWarlord (talk • contribs) 19:23, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

User Sherney21 has edited and reverted this article 14 times, only to include 'who was stabbed to death in an attack by three black men in June 2008 in Islington'. The user has been asked twice via their talk page to seek consensus, but has continued since. The user has made no contributions to wikipedia outside of the inclusion of irrelevant information within this article. What can be done to prevent further edit warring?

About the Third Opinion request: The request made at Third Opinion has been removed (i.e. declined). Like all other moderated content dispute resolution venues at Wikipedia, Third Opinion requires thorough recent talk page discussion before seeking assistance. If an editor will not discuss, consider the recommendations which are made here. In case of an edit war, file at EWN, the 3RR doesn't have to be violated if it can be demonstrated that there's a slow-motion war. — TransporterMan (TALK) 18:32, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
