Britain's Got Talent star Susan Boyle is being cruelly taunted, intimdated and attacked by a gang of youths, it was reported last night.

Witnesses have claimed singing sensation Boyle, who suffers from Asperger Syndrome, is being 'hounded' by a group of 15 young people who live near her in West Lothian, Scotland.

The gang of mainly boys is said to have thrown a flaming piece of paper at her in one attack and pelted the buses she was riding on with stones in another.

In case you're wondering why Boyle just doesn't move to a safer neighborhood, folks with Asperger Syndrome often don't deal well with change. That probably has something to do with it.

This stuff just p*sses me off!

Are these youths actually, ‘yutes?’ What’s, ‘immigration’ like in Scotland?

And HOW is she not known as a STAR in her own country/neighborhood?

While I’m not making excuses for the “gang” I feel it’s important to point out that the title is misleading. There is a big difference between “pelting her with stones” and pelting her bus with stones.

Someone is leaving something out of this story.

Either cover-up of muslim crime (which seems unlikely here, why would they care about her?), or just standard run-of-the-mill journalistic incompetence.

That’s what she gets for singing music with an actual melody, instead of (c)rap.

Same here.

Wonder if we’ll ever find out.

I had to struggle with the title to keep it under 100 characters without it being too misleading.

> Someone is leaving something out of this story. <

From deep within the article:

One woman, who says the gang are known to the community, said they racially abused her [Boyle] and threw a bottle which almost struck her on the head.


Still something is missing. If this were a racial thing, why target Boyle specifically?

You're joking.

Obviously I’m not joking. I don’t know what the laws are there but in the U.S. if someone throws rocks at you it’s assault with a deadly weapon or battery or aggravated assault or whatever.

If they throw rocks at your car it’s vandalism or malicious mischief.

West Lothian is 1% Muslim. The article doesn’t say who these “youths” are, but I’d guess not white because they are racially bullying a white woman.

They have also harrassed others.

“Neighbours are said to have told the police that the gang of boys, aged 16 to 18, have been intimidating other locals as well as Susan”

“By no mention of Islam....you know it’s Islam.”

British picked it up from US Marxist Stream Media: By no mention of political party ... you know it’s Democratic”.

They may or may not be, but to be honest, violent crime of this kind is a problem in England (3 to 5X our rate?) with or without an Islamic component. Knife crime is very high. Brits tout their gun control laws, and yet has gun crime gone down since they passed their ban(s)? Nope. And self-defense is not even considered legitimate, using any kind of weapon, so this is not a gun issue at all, other than the obvious fact that a woman like Ms. Boyle cannot enjoy personal protection. Sad.
