Its unbelievable that some people should be so stupid as to abuse a blind woman when she is out with her guide dog. What kind of people are they ?

its always been thus, sorry those who think it hasn't then need to try and remember, anyone remotely different, and who isn't, some who have freckles, ginger hair, get derided, taunted, called carrot top, and much much worse, bullies are simply cowards, like the *** internet trolls, hide behind the safety of cyberspace, they get away with it because people turn a blind eye, those in wheelchairs, ask any disabled person whether they have suffered abuse in some form or another i suspect they would say yes.
Erm..emmie okay okay you have made your point, holding my hands up here. I agree with baldric and others (getting back to op) that the perpetrators should have been brought to book.
Disabled people used to be hidden, due to embarrassment. While the OP subject is clearly horrendous- at least now, the majority of people think so.
Pixie, I am referring the the right-on brigade that jump up and down whenever action is taken against these scum.
When I was a kid, (starting to sound like my dad now) if any of us stepped out of line the local plod gave us a kick up the rear, made us pick up rubbish at the local shopping center then sent us home, and usually spoke to our parents the next day. That usually resulted in more grief for us.
Now it seems the constabulary is powerless, the young people "know their rights" and quite often the parents see nothing amiss, hence they grow up with attitudes that are socially unacceptable.
Society is definitely changing.
I've never seen that. There are so many more laws to protect vulnerable people now, and such an improvement in awareness and attitudes, I'm quite baffled you could say things are worse now., in general.
Thankfully,1ozzy, it is. We don't abuse other people to teach them. Communication and discipline. Violent police? Sets a great example.
You are right lozzy, dealt with at street level and your parents gave you hell as well if anything amiss, now it seems a lot of parents support their kids in what they have done wrong in a lot of cases instead of chastising them.
I don't see being pulled into line as abuse.
Being able to have the right to get away with victimising others, which is what the original post seems to indicate, to me is completely wrong.
The same coppers who would put us on clean up duty (after a toe in the posterior) would also be there to help us in time of need.
I work with kids that are involved with the juvenile justice system here in Oz. and most of them show scant regard for other peoples feelings and see them selves as victims because they are being held responsible for their own actions.
Seems the same way here lozzy not just with kids but adults too. My take on today's society where you mustn't blame the perpetrator or similar. Saw that on tv last night on parking fines, they didn't pay and fees accrued and when the bailiffs wanted the money, they were the ones called robbers and thieves when they were doing their job!
attitudes have changed amongst many, but it still prevails, this idea that you can call someone names, pick any nasty one out of a hat, and listen to what children say to each other, many don't seem to understand its not nice or wrong.
OMG - the police didnt tazer her AND the dog
and then say - I am sorry we thought the dog was gonna bite that drunk lying on the ground over there ?

time for videos all round I say
Totally agree Emmie.
I think most people have suffered some form of bullying in their life.
It does still happen, worst of luck.
These days (at least in Oz) schools and other groups involved are running many forms of education to try to stamp it out.
The sad thing, in my experience, is some youngsters don't wish to listen to anyone that they consider "weaker" than themselves.
Sadly it can be a "pack mentality" so only the "alpha" is listened to or shown some sort of respect.
The police force over here is slowly being reduced to the status of "toothless tiger".
i got called names at school, because of my name, it was hurtful, and i didn't and still don't have a thick skin, i tried to let it go, but wasn't easy
if the woman was being called names, threatened, bullied and she has it on camera, then good, i hope they prosecute them
Lozzer and emmie

you are quite right of course - if you ask in a look-back survey,
far more ( twice ) say they were bullied at school
than admit they were the bully



How odd....

obviously tele-visual - yobs abusing blind girl on video

and yet there is none....

I am also amazed no passer-by in Stevenage - city of the cruel - intervened.
the bullies are cowards, that old adage pick on someone your own size is generally true, if the person being bullied fought back, gave as good as they got, then the bullies would likely stop or turn tail. the t wats who tweet vile messages about someone do so because its remote, well lets hope they get caught.
newer stevenage is a s hitehole, sorry to be blunt. i do know the place fairly well, my o/h was born in and around the older part of Stevenage
My apologies if I have had a bit of a rant here this evening,(well, at least in my time zone).
Mikey4444 posted a topic that is very important to me.
I agree with Pixie373, brutality is no way to teach respect.
The sad thing in my experience is that brutes only respect one thing.
To gain any sort of understanding from them.....well I'll leave that up to the rest of you.
The young lady that co-wrote this song and performs it suffered greatly through out her own childhood.

.

There is quite a lot of perception in all this ( memory of skool days )
I mentioned at age 6 we were locked in a space - "get in the little room - you stoopid duffer ! " Connie the teacher would snarl

Oh we were locked in a book cupboard - someone else said - ( we are all over 60 now ) and she used to drag the girls across the floor by their hair.

Oh, Connie didnt do that to us .....

But none of us are particularly scarred by this -I have always thought because connie and the other teacher used to dole it out to everyone
