“were then seen as child prostitutes not victims”
Boggles the mind. All you have to do is make an excuse or for your criminal activity, or call it something else, and the police say ‘okay fine?’
Crackhead:That’s not crack its medicine officer.
Police: Okay, enjoy your crack,sir.
If government sets priorities of burglary and car crime over protecting children, it is time for adults to take charge of protecting the innocent. I don’t particularly care what decent people have to do to protect the children, so long as the predators can never again harm another child.
Dr Billings ordered the independent inquiry into the force’s handling of child sexual exploitation in March after a BBC investigation found the force had details of more than 320 suspected abusers in Sheffield between 2007 and 2010 - but failed to act.
“Dr Heal said she was once told by a senior officer that ‘it was awful but burglary and car crime were policing priorities set by the government.’”
Obama wants a nationalized police force, just like Britain’s. This is exactly the result you get when policing becomes something run by centralized government.
But maybe Obama wants exactly this kind of result here. He has never spoken against anything favored by Islam, so maybe child rape is something he really likes. One can only speculate why that might be.
Regarding the USA on this subject, the Thai have a very appropriate saying: “same, same, but different”
I’ve given up hope for the UK. I think they’re irredeemable at this point. This outrage has been known about long enough now that lots of head should have rolled by now - police chiefs, politicians, heads of CPS - and nearly nothing has happened. We’re not taking about a few cases of child abuse, but THOUSANDS, just in this one city. The dirtbags who were “grooming” them, raping them, and then exploiting them by selling them to other (mostly Pakistani/Muslim?) pedos, obviously felt they had total impunity. The stories from the town, where people (including parents) tried to step in and do something about it are incredible. The police seemed determined to do absolutely nothing about it, despite the fact that statutory (at least) rape was clearly happening.
There is also an issue here in terms of the liberal approach to children - parents and agencies that care for children are basically forbidden from doing almost anything to control these children.
That’s what Sharia law says. So the cops go along with it.
1860's.
Don't know why you would quit watching, just because it was historically accurate (with fictional characters).
Would you not watch a show about the Holocaust, or the Rwanda Massacre, or a documentary about present-day child-trafficking, simply because there are unpleasant aspects?
I think it's important to know the bad parts of history (as well as the good parts), just as it's important to know the bad parts of current events. It's how we learn to not let history repeat itself.
Sorry, 1960s was a typo. Gacckkk.
I agree, just as it’s possible to produce a violent show about the battle between good and evil that is not degrading to watch.
But there is a type of show I call “violence porn,” which is focused not on the battle but in lovingly dwelling on the pain and degradation suffered by the victims, and by their method of filming encouraging the viewer to empathize with the person inflicting that suffering. To my mind, watching such stuff is degrading and demoralizing, in the literal sense of the term. (Removing morality.)
In the case of Copper, to my mind the producers were just enjoying the 12 year old prostitution a little too much.
I don’t watch shows of these types. It is to me a matter of both taste and morality. YM May very well Vary.
I’m probably not terribly consistent in the way I implement these positions, but I do try to apply them. Not trying to impose them on others, just how I roll.
