Well, it sounds like their neighborhood is being watched by ecilop's then.

[SeaBiscuit]

This insanity has become more and more prevalent all over.. the true victim is now the perp and the real perp is the victim.

"It seemed the lad had told his mum what had happened and she had immediately lodged a complaint of assault,"

He and his "mum" would be run out of town where I live.

She apparently has children. Where are they on this? If someone assaulted my mother, his age would not be an issue.
I don't understand nonviolence or pacifism in a case like this.

Dalrymple reviews that book, I think it was Land fit for Criminals.. and it was pretty astounding. I bet even FReepers were finding some of it hard to believe.

[GeronL]

She apparently has children. Where are they on this?

I don't know. Maybe they have abolished the traditional family or something by now. Hey, it could happen.

Something needed in the UK:

I found Clockwork Orange in a clearance bin the other but haven't had time to watch it. If people in England today watched it would they get it?

What was her dog doing during all this? Mine would have been eating yob casserole.

"we're getting a lot better judges than we used to."

Only if we are able to maintain or improve the majority in the US Senate. If the anti-Aemrican Democrats win forgetaboutit.

[siunevada]

a counter-allegation to the police of assault against the youth

Everyone can guess what the end result of that will be.

Notice the mum got this going, making the complaint that the granny had assaulted her darling boy?

Quite honestly, after traveling to several European countries, the English parents are the absolute worst, exercising no discipline at all. The children run around like hellions. I still remember swarms of the little angels clambering all over the graves in Westminster Cathedral with nary a peep from any parent.

At one time, everybody read Spock on childrearing, but it seems the English failed to get the word that you weren't really supposed to do it that way.

[KyHammer]

My dog wouldn't because he has to wear a muzzle. He's a great dog he just demands so much respect. None of that touchy feely stuff for him except from his immediate family.

[Lucky9teen]

"After a while one of them, whose name is Billy, spread his arms out wide to show his stomach, and said, Come on, old lady, hit me, if you dare."
When I read that, I can't help but picture this...


How sad, these kids that pick on old folks. If that happened to anyone in my family, I think that kid would be marched right up to his parents doorstep and things would be discussed in a very serious way. That is if other methods weren't used first.

[Billthedrill]

Nothing a few electroshock treatments wouldn't cure.

Somebody cue up the Beethoven, please.

[GeronL]

A Clockwork Orange as published in the UK had a good ending, in the US the publisher took out the last chapter so it would have a negative one.

Now the UK is the one going down the hole faster than us, the US has been able to tread water for a couple of decades but how much longer?

[Bommer]

Trade in the piece of crap worthless dog she currently has for a Rotweiller and see what happens when this punk shows some nice white stomach flesh!

Its this bad.

"YUP. Thats what Theodore Dalrymple was talking about. Arrest kids for climbing trees, for saying a mans horse is gay and then real assault you blame the victim and your lucky if the real thug gets more than 18 months in jail."

A debased, fearful population is easier to control. They've been eating away at us for years but we're not that far along yet.
