Let the witch hunt begin
Read this shocking, yet uncommon story:
BBC NEWS | England | South Yorkshire | Boys held over 'shocking' attack
I predict the following knee jerk, witch hunt, waste of time, dodging the real issues, daily mail ranting within the next 48 hours.
1.) Violent films, video games and music to be censored/banned.
2.) Campaigns from tabloids and band wagon jumping no name MP's.
3.) A lobby group will be formed and some sort of rally or charity record released.
4.) A complete media circus and public feeding frenzy.
I also predict the following which you won't see:
1.) Any attempt by government to try and deal with the real issues.
2.) Any real justice.
3.) This thread being hijacked by the usual offenders and prematurely being closed (and I don't hold the mods accountable for this).
XoD.

Re: Let the witch hunt begin
If the child in ICU recovers this will fade away. If the poor child dies I think we'll see the knee jerk reaction that is typical of the tabloids.
But this is a rare occurence. Young kid on young kid ABH is rare but I think it will become more common.

Re: Let the witch hunt begin
If we stop Scutters breeding, enforce sterilisation etc...we wouldn't have as many problems, we don't need them or their kids and the faster we eliminate them from our society the better.

It's sad to even think it, but true.

Re: Let the witch hunt begin
Nice description of the "thick-set, heavily tattooed foster parent" in the Times. The kids had only been in his care for three weeks (if the news reports are to be believed), the media are already setting him up as a standard issue chav parent scapegoat.

Re: Let the witch hunt begin
They've charged the boys with Attempted Murder.
Brothers charged with attempting to murder young boys in Doncaster village - Times Online
Smelly old 12x12 in the pic, those things will be around forever.

Re: Let the witch hunt begin
[I]“Each boy will be charged with an offence of attempted murder of each victim and each boy will also be charged with an offence of robbery against each victim. This gives a total for four charges for each boy.
let's hope they get the punishment they deserve
