[Closed] I fear for the human race

It must be about time to cleanse these **** off the planet.

So, Eugenics the answer to someone making an extremely poorly judged gesture and remark?

Yeah, that's proportionate, of course, right.... 🙄

Course it's nasty. Proper malicious and callous. But you're talking about some form of 'social cleansing'?

Who's on your 'list' then? Scrotes? Benefit Scroungers? Thick people? Darkies? People with nicer bikes than you?

She mad a bad taste joke or perhaps she meant it. Anyway is she not entitled to an opinion in your brave new world?

Idiots who don't actually think about what they are saying/doing.
Quite good to see this actually being acted on.

When my other half joined the police, one of the first jobs she had to go to was a pub fight that turned a bit nasty. It was in a very anti-police area & two of the officers there had been beaten up; one of them had been kicked in the head several times.
Apparently there were several people leaning out of their upstairs window shouting that they hoped the two officers die & others trying to stop the ambulance getting to them.

Anyway is she not entitled to an opinion in your brave new world?

Not if she was deliberately threatening or intimidating someone, no.

Not if she was deliberately threatening or intimidating someone, no.

Balls. She's still entitled to an opinion same as anyone else. In this case, Justice appears to be working well and hopefully she will receive a sentence appropriate for the level of her 'crime'.

What we should really be looking at, rather than spouting bile over some woman who's obviously not too bright, is why there is so much anger directed towards police. And tbh, it's not without reason. I'm reminded of the Keith Blakelock murder, and how many folk in deprived urban areas saw it as a 'victory' over the police, who were at times extremely flawed and prejudiced in their treatment of certain communities. I also remember the anger following the death of Colin Roach, and the lack of Justice for his family.

But no, carry on hating rather than trying to understand. It's a lot less intellectually taxing...

Moaty was a legend though wasn't he.

Very very stupid insensitive person puts foot in mouth. Hardly news.

In British society we are actually under pressure to be funny and witty all the time, some people are just really bad at it.

Balls. She's still entitled to an opinion same as anyone else.

She is. But she is not entitled to threaten and intimidate members of the public or the police force.

If someone publicly threatened you or your family wouldn't you want something done about it?

Ah, but you suggested she wasn't entitled to an [i]opinion[/i]. Different.

If someone publicly threatened you or your family wouldn't you want something done about it?

I have actually bin publicly threatened with police standing there watching the whole thing. They did nothing about it. Probbly the best course of action really (some fat sweaty car driver giving it all thayt cos I held him up or something).

TBH, as nasty and callous as it may seem, this is a pretty minor 'crime', and one not really worthy of reporting IMO.

She mad a bad taste joke or perhaps she meant it. Anyway is she not entitled to an opinion in your brave new world?

Not quite sure how making a gun gesture and saying "bang bang" relates to an "opinion"

The comments of "scum" and "cleanse" has nothing to do with race/colour/creed/class or what music they listen to, it relates to the fact that there are scum that walk this earth, scum who think it's ok to act how they want, do what they want and rarely have to face up to any consequences. We live in a country where the criminals are held in higher stature than the people who try to live a good life. 4 masked burglars break into a house and the guy protecting his property and family end up in the frame for murder. You get driven into by an uninsured/no road fund license/banned for drink driving idiot and you end up paying through the nose for your insurance and they get off with a fine or have to pick up litter for a week. A woman in Dundee swings her baby round her head by it's feet then gets into a punch up while holding the child......the excuse? "drink and drugs".......oh well that's fine then!!

The balance in this country has tipped into the favour of the scum and perhaps something needs to change.

Balls. She's still entitled to an opinion same as anyone else.

What 'opinion' was she making??

She's still entitled to an opinion same as anyone else.

but not all opinions are equally valid. When as a society we wake up to this blatently obvious statement things will start to get better.

In this particular case it would appear the judiciary don't think her opinion was valid either, hence the fact she's being sentenced.....

Apparently there were several people leaning out of their upstairs window shouting that they hoped the two officers die & others trying to stop the ambulance getting to them

That's terrible, it certainly sounds like an area where the police need to put some effort into improving their relationship with the local community.

[b]Stop Press!![/b] Policeman gets teased. "I'm all upset now" says upset copper.

"Hate" seems to be chucked about so much in articles currently. It's so emotive and shortcuts a rational process of figuring things out.

She said a cruel thing, but is clearly acting without a sense of empathy. The answer is not to destroy those who don't understand but educate them. Children are given the benefit of the doubt, but once someone is 18+ they may still be developmentally a child. I'm not talking about learning disabilities but emotional maturity. Our current culture appears to be retarding those who aren't yet familiar with questioning the information they are given.

There are loads of reasons as to why she would behave in such a way. People's attitudes/experiences with Police make them forget that they are ordinary humans too.

What she said is unacceptable, but reacting in this way will only compound and reinforce these behaviours.

I too find it horrifying to see how humans behave but it doesn't just stem from nowhere. She is a symptom, not the problem.

We humans are all in a race?

Bullshine. this is simply not true. ~conviction rates are up, imprisonment rates are very high ridiculously so in comparison to most countries, crime is significantly down and has been trending down for decades.

Stop believing the daily wail agenda

Define 'scum'.

Not you, you didn't qualify

Nearly always, but not exclusively, fat lasses from Sunderland.

What needs to change is the papers need to stop coming up with one-sided populist garbage just to sell copies 🙁

You are right YOUR opinion is always superior thanks for the head up.

Thanks for the sarcasm, rather undermines your next statement.

sums it up nicely, i'd say.

Moaty was a legend though wasn't he.

Absolutely, anyone that abuses young girls has to be eh? And they imprisoned him for it? Should have given him a medal eh?

I blame society.

I blame society.

I blame blame culture.

I blame Smiley Culture

Hmm, that's a bit sensationalist don't you think? Apparently all I can find is that Moat's only criminal conviction was for an 'assault' on a child family member (gender not specified). For which he received a sentence of 18 weeks. I have no idea of the nature of the assault, but I doubt it was of a sexual nature, as you'd get a much longer sentence, and might not have bin particularly serious as again, you'd get much longer. Not defending him, just trying to establish actual facts rather than get sucked into the vitriol.

So, a conviction for an assault on a child turns into 'abuses young girls'.

Do you work for the Sun?

Freedom of Speech means you get to hear things you don't like. Lots of people have stupid and unpalatable thoughts. Welcome to humanity.

I never mentioned any 'sexual' element, maybe a Freudian slip by you? I think the girl was his daughter or step daughter, about 9 I think. Perhaps you don't understand what the word 'abuse' means?

So, a conviction for an assault on a child turns into 'abuses young girls'.

You've misquoted, 'abuses' is plural because it refers to 'anyone'. I didn't imply he was guilt of more than one abuse, but you chose to infer it.

"abuser of children" is an ambigous phrase and most folk would consider it to mean something sexual rather than he hit them IMHO.

Anyway is she not entitled to an opinion in your brave new world?

Opinion yes, Offensive no. Simple really

Next !

'Most folk' think the Millennium changed between 1999 and 2000.

Yup, simple.

But before we move on, can you just quickly clarify the 'offensive' bit? I mean just briefly, who decides and how?

'Most folk' think the Millennium changed between 1999 and 2000.

Which is why if you a referring to 2000/2001 specifically, you would do well to clarify, just to avoid confusion.
