These punks and their parents need to have the crap kicked out of them. I volunteer.

"But she added: "This sends out the message that if you stand up for yourself, if you try to take action to stop anti-social behaviour, you are likely to end up being arrested."

What are yobs?
Yons o' bitches.

I hope we are a few centuries behind them. It is all in the hands of the courts and we're getting a lot better judges than we used to
Yep and more and more states are passing NO RETREAT laws

If these punks had been muslims not only would she be arrested but she would have had to pay reparations and attend sensitivity training.
Now, if I had said that 10 years ago people would have laughed in my face. Today, they fear just such a punishment. Nihilism and Multiculturalism are destroying society faster than ever before. In the end there will be huge violence.

Collectively, we are sick and tired of the situation and our frustration is now close to boiling overThen get off your asses and do something about it. After you throw the punks out of the neighborhood, go after the chief inspector and his lackeys and run them off.

Oh boy.
Another reason we need to be vigilant about 2nd Amendment rights in this country - it's not just about guns, but the fundamental right of citizens to protect themselves and not be at the mercy of a feckless state to do so.

England -- where "Alex de Large" types who cowardly beat up on grannies for "fun" are considered victims, and the grannies who dare stand up to them are considered criminals.
Alex: There was me, that is Alex, and my three droogs, that is Pete, Georgie, and Dim, and we sat in the Korova Milkbar trying to make up our rassoodocks what to do with the evening. The Korova milkbar sold milk-plus, milk plus vellocet or synthemesc or drencrom, which is what we were drinking. This would sharpen you up and make you ready for a bit of the old ultra-violence.

How is a sincere criminal, trying hard, going to get ahead in his profession if his victim fails to cooperate?
Almost all crime depends on the cooperation of the victim.
If the victim refuses his assigned role, the criminal is placed at a disadvantage, one so severe that it usually takes an understanding and compassionate judge to set right.

How far behind them are we?? A few years? Not far behind, for sure. About two years ago, there was one of those La Raza type of rallys somewhere in the southwest and some patriotic Americans showed up to voice their own opinions about the "Reconquista" garbage. An elderly woman was shouted at by one of the musclebound thugs, and when she dared to tug the kerchief down so his face could be seen, *she* was arrested for battery.
I don't remember what the follow-up to that incident was, but it was plenty disgusting.

"Typical UK, gets it all wrong again."
Same thing could happen here.
The statutes for battery say any kind of unwanted touching constitutes battery. If someone commits battery then generally you have the right of self-defense.

"After you throw the punks out of the neighborhood,"
Yeah, right. Unless you throw their parents out, too, that isn't very likely.
To: KyHammer
She acted after being abused, pushed and threatened with a plank of wood. Roger Williams, Liberal Democrat MP for Brecon and Radnorshire, said: "I would have expected the police to have acted slightly more proportionately than arresting Mrs Bond over this. You idiot! the police act according to the laws you make.

"Oh bliss! Bliss and heaven! Oh, it was gorgeousness and gorgeousity made flesh. It was like a bird of rarest-spun heaven metal or like silvery wine flowing in a spaceship, gravity all nonsense now. As I slooshied, I knew such lovely pictures!"
So much a disturbing film in my mind. When I first viewed it my impression was that it could indeed happen, and now, it does daily.

Here in the rural county (U.S.) where I live we don't have to contend with gangs of "yobs" (I suppose that is British for "hooligans") threatening elderly citizens with severe bodily harm.
May have something to do with "shall issue" concealed carry laws.
