Rob Maltby Talks About Life After The Attack | Murdered For Being Different

[@vermilliongecko]

Everybody mourns Sophie but let's not forget Rob. He has had to live with grief and brain injury and psychological trauma every day since.

[@thecreativemillenial]

Vermillion 303 i haven't forgotten Rob he suffered the most

[@thecreativemillenial]

he's damn lucky he survived

[@naruto199797]

Vermillion 303 he is a very strong person he kept going even when it was the hardest thing to do some people go off the rails and get consumed by grief but he didn't and I will always respect him for that

[@junaldinho100]

Exactly!!

[@luhcyntia4877]

Ikr his girlfriend was beaten to death next to him💔

[@naruto199797]

the fact that rob managed to get through all of the grief and pain instead of letting it consume him really shows how strong he is as a person and I have a lot of respect for him because of that and he still manages to see the good in people

[@exanimisrex3808]

ellis smith that shows the extent of his brain damage. Im 58 years old and can honestly say that I have never met good person. There is nothing secial about the boys that stomped Sophie to death, if she had lived they would have gotten away with it and lived normal lives. There would be no foundation and a lit of people would have never been helped by that foundation.

[@naruto199797]

Exanimis Rex I didn't say there was I was saying that not a lot of people would've gotten through something that horrible loosing someone you love that much would make a lot of people go off the rails

[@SwiggleMcJiggle]

Late reply, but I'm amazed that he made it through this. Knowing myself I probably wouldn't have been able to cope with something like this. Sure, as most say, life goes on, but it's so much easier said than done, especially in such cases.

[@davidjohnson9896]

Rob Maltby you're not alone mate. Keep going :)

[@AntonioToni]

When he says her girlfriend's coffin just looked too small to contain her, even if she was quite short, and couldn't figure out why referring to how important she was to him, ho special to be confined to such a narrow space...I almost cried

[@lucyhanlon2185]

He seems like such a sweet genuine human being, can't believe how senselessly cruel people can be

I remember reading about this as a ten year old and still wear my S.O.P.H.I.E band wherever I go. Gone but not forgotten xx

[@ULTIMATE_FREEDOM_FIGHTER]

"People are more good than they are bad." That's just... wow...! If I had been through what he has been through, and my girlfriend had been brutally beaten up and murdered; I don't know if I had been able to keep such a loving and optimistic attitude towards other people in general after that...

[@naruto199797]

PartyBeliever not many people can even his mum feels that way and she doesn't like it

[@ULTIMATE_FREEDOM_FIGHTER]

This world... the cruelty... the intolerance... it's relentless. This world will simply never learn - ever... And it's just so sad... I truly feel bad for you. Are you healed now, or do you still struggle with physical or psychological effects from the attack?

[@ULTIMATE_FREEDOM_FIGHTER]

I'm happy that you've recovered so well! And I admire how you're also able to see that there's more good than bad in this world. Good for you!

[@princessgina21]

no words can express how angry, hurt and sickened by what happened. 10 years on and i still think of these two. I remember all the S.O.P.H.I.E marches that took place, the police presence...why? why should we be afraid to be different? music should bring people together, not separate us into tiny little groups. S.O.P.H.I.E

[@pretzelmaker3122]

It is simpler than music. Dressing goth doesn't express your music interests, although, yeah, most of the time it is related to heavy metal/screamo, etc. This crime happened because some idiots who are walking the street now simply didn't like that these people liked to wear black, dyed their hair, had piercings and were otherwise different than those idiots.

[@darkgraver6095]

@@pretzelmaker3122 Ermm no. I think you're confusing emos with goths. Emos commonly listen to heavy metal, screamo, and metalcore, and goths listen to gothic rock, post-punk, dark wave, ethereal wave, deathrock, etc. Goth is heavily tied with musical interest, after all, it is a music based subculture. In fact, it has its roots in music since the late 70s and early 80s when it spawned from the UK punk scene - with post-punk being widely regarded as the first goth genre, which offered a moodier and darker twist on punk music

[@TravisLoneWolfWalsh]

The Fact Rob is still here shows how much of a brave man he is

[@mynameissarah5117]

Rob and Sophie did NOTHING wrong, NOTHING to deserve what those monsters did to them. For simply being Goths, Sophie lost her life and Rob will now be haunted and have to live without her for the rest of his life. And that's just not fair.

[@thecreativemillenial]

I've heard of people who get attacked for the dumbest reasons. Shoot, a guy got attacked once for the length of his hair

[@gm0283]

I have followed the tragic story of Sophie and Rob since the attack and I have watched all the documentaries, and I have always wanted the best for Rob. He really does deserve a positive future. I am so glad to have seen how he is coping 10 years on. I cannot even begin to imagine what he has gone through, but I really do hope that he can move on to amazing things. I'm looking forward to his artwork. xXx

[@markburns1924]

That's because only 2 were convicted of murder, 3 of the 5 little sewer rats didn't touch Sophie and as rob survived they were only convicted of gbh with intent which is a massive injustice they attacked both so viciously to put them in a coma should of been a conviction of attempted murder, those 3 have all been released from prison, the justice system should have a retrial on attempted murder charge. R.I.P Sophie and my heart goes out to rob and both families.

[@LauraBidingCitizen]

People keep mentioning the goth / alternative scene but you’re forgetting the vital message from this entire documentary & it’s horribly worrying?! This isn’t about a certain ‘scene’ you’re into, this is about being ‘different’ / standing out from societies ‘norms’ & how disgustingly unaccepting & cruel people are because of it. Acne, being short, too slim, too fat, being a goth - it doesn’t matter, the core message is acceptance, & to stop standing by & letting people continuously get ridiculed for not ‘fitting in’. I was overweight during my secondary school years due to health issues - I was taking steroid medication on & off throughout my teens, it made me balloon in weight (along with abuse at home / undiagnosed ED). I had a whole heap of friends, my best friend I nicknamed ‘pocket Rottweiler’, she was 5’2” & fiercely protective, but there were many instances that I was on my own & had the face the onslaught of not just my fellow peers, but grown arse men (nearly always men) shouting abuse / throwing hot coffee on me & spitting on me in the street. I did have a breakdown just before my 21st birthday & I spent nearly 4 years inside with agoraphobia. It’s not just the physical affects of being beaten or abused that stay with you, it’s more the emotional / mental - they never truly leave. My heart broke when I saw this documentary, it stayed with me for a very, very long time. I truly hope Rob is doing as well as can be all these years later, & was able to pursue his dreams of doing art. x

[@leticiakiddey8334]

This made me cry 😢

[@jubbahey]

Its not just hate crime that fuels tragic attacks like this, there are many types out there who use any excuse to vent their anger, frustration and sometimes sheer delight in hurting people. They take, for example, Goths to be different and therefore a legitimate target (in their own warped and senseless opinion) and will take pride as a gang member in showing they are up for it, by inflicting severe damage to another persons life. That it ended in death for Sophie does not seem to take away the determination of certain people to continue without remorse, the ongoing attacks aimed at anyone who is deemed to be a soft target, an attack that will have no repercussions as the victims are either outnumbered or weak and not aggressive. These types are cowards primarily and will always group together to inflict as much damage as they can en masse but on their own, each one would not even confront a potential victim without calling in their "mates". They are not primeval or feral, they are just brainless thugs who will probably end up extortionists and lifetime bullies. Hopefully they'll die young under their own sword before causing another tragedy. I live in hope. RIP Sophie.

To think I moved from round the corner to bacup park only a few years before this happened, couple of years younger than rob and was dabbling in ‘mosher’ type things at the time absolutely scares me to the core. This really could of been me. So so sad for this lad and what him and his girlfriend had to go through on that for awful night. The way he speaks is beautiful and is testament to s beautiful human being he is. Rest in peace Sophie… too good for this world.

[@Shades_of_White]

The word you used 'dabbling', this is what so many people do in their teens/young adulthood. I went through a little mosher stage as did many of my friends, yet when I grew up I didn't end up a mosher, and the same rings true for my old friends. For many it's just a phase...now imagine wanting to kill someone for something so insignificant. It's just mental to me. And I also just want to add I don't think there's anything wrong with being a mosher or a goth. Be whatever you like.

To be attacked and die because you don't conform to what society considers normal ("normal" is something that doesn't exist). To think this happened only 5 years after the Gwen Araujo murder in California back in '02. To think that some people around the world didn't learn anything from it. Makes me sad that people can be so close minded just because someone is different. We are all different. RIP Sophie, may you find peace and love in heaven. :-(
