'Thug' must pay his victim £1000, 16 week jail term suspended for 1 year, and 150 hours of community service.

His crime 'charge of religiously aggravated assault'.

An appropriate sentence or did he get off too light?

LOL..I can only assume your reply and comment was a tongue in cheek response.

I would not intervene in a physical way if I saw a fracas involving youths, whether or not the victim was a male, female, Goths, non Goths, Caucasian, Negroid or whatever and I would simply dial 999.

Have you noticed that certain parts of the UK are dangerous and violent

Pretty much all round defence for this woman.

I wonder if a policeman had his helmet knocked off by a drunk, the policeman would have gained such support, or would it have caused much hilarity, a real hoot?

Kromovaricum.........no!........can't see the logic in your analogy.

Well when Madleson was pelted with green custard, the reaction was pretty much the same: It is assault and should be treated as such. http://www.theanswerb...s/Question721364.html

I would think that Mandleson is more of a hate figure that a policeman.

OED......Personally, provocative clothes do, in my opinion predisposes the wearer to rape, but there are other factors in rape cases.

Dressing conventionally does not exclude one from being raped, as there are other factors.

[ummmm]

Try again please_sir.

More extreme example but I feel the same principle can be applied.
To all those who say she should dress ‘like everyone else’
Did this couple deserve this for being dressed as Goths?

Just to warn you there is an unpleasant photo in the article.

R1 Geezer I’m surprised at your response to this considering your response here, why do you feel this is any different?

I just can not accept that just because you do not fit the norm, that you are open to violence and abuse.
What is the norm anyway?

Looking at that picture I realise how lucky my Dad was to survive an unprovoked attack on his way home from the pub...fish and chips in hands.

There was not one part of his face that wasn't swollen and purple. 6 broken bones in his face and his nose didn't stop bleeding for over a week.

It gave me nightmares for years...
