Deadly Assault Is Great Crack!!
That seems to be the attitude among some teenagers if this story from BBC news online is anything to go by. A 16 year old girl from Manchester was savagely attacked from behind yesterday as a crowd of boys watched the assault and filmed it on a mobile phone. What's worse is this was no ordinary school fight, aside form the cowards jumping her from behind in this pre-arranged assault, Becky Smith, the victim, was left unconscious and paralysed (albeit temporarily).
In a callous display of their disregard for this poor girls near fatal assault, these lowlife bastards then proceeded to circulate the video round their school where it was seen by the victim's 13 year old brother.
Follow up:
Her mother had this to say:
"Becky was rushed to hospital unconscious. They could have killed her. We are very lucky she is alive.
But she will not go back to school because she is terrified, and now everyone has seen the video.
By the following day the whole school knew about it."
What sort of society are we living in where this is allowed to happen? This girl nearly died! And what did the school have to say about it? "This is a police matter which happened outside school." So these criminals will be able to attend school as normal, sit their exams and whatever else, while Becky sits at home afraid to go anywhere near the place for fear of a repeat incident, not to mention the attention she'd get.
The Manchester police are investigating and I hope to God they throw the book at the scum that carried out this vicious and cowardly assault. If they are going to commit adult crimes, they should be tried as adults. They deserve no sympathy or special treatment when they engage in savage and potentially fatal beatings just for entertainment. However, for some reason I have no faith in the justice system that they'll get anything more than a slap on the wrist.
