figgy Posted June 7, 2019 Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 So Chris got up and started fighting with them and then she joined in, both got a pasting Agree they shouldn't have been hasseled in first place but they have both been lucky not to be killed. Night bus to Camden, I know burly contractors that will not take a night bus to certain areas. I think there is more to this than we know, oy the girls side of things up to now.

Doesn't matter a monkeys mate, nobody should be subjected to that? Cant' expect many to help these days as any one helping out would probably be in more trouble than than offenders, certainly arrested and face a lengthy wait to be cleared? Just how it is?

rimfire4969 Posted June 7, 2019 Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 Unbelievable, this should never be allowed to happen. I am surprised there is not cctv on all London buses. These thugs need locking up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackbriar Posted June 7, 2019 Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 This is the kind of yobbish behaviour that never fails to appal me ! I hope these despicable 'men' are caught and punished to the limit of the law. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they are caught, before they do it again. Dan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, we could address the epidemic of male violence and why so many men feel that they are entitled to use violence, but no one wants to do that.

BBC News - Gay couple beaten for refusing to kiss on London bushttps://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-48555889 What do you mean come to. For as long as I can remember and further back than that groups of all types have been persecuted. Whether for colour. Religion. Nationally. Sexuallity. And for just being female. Even for being handicapped. So these types have been around for centuries. As for stepping in I would suggest the current trend for stabbings may deter such acts at this time. A truly despicable act and one that should be punished severely but I reckon if brought to justice a slap on the wrist would be all they get.

figgy Posted June 7, 2019 Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 You all seem very quick to condemn the males in this. Without their side being given. It could have been a bit of banter and one of the women or both could have attacked them. They could have acted in self defense. Or it could be just as you all think and they need birching.

Four males two females yes I could see the men having to defend themselves. Banter is not acceptable in some circumstances and no man should ever hit a female. Well that's how it is in my part of the world. Maybe different where you are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted June 7, 2019 Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 When you have witnessed a woman put a man in hospital hitting him in the head with her stilleto shoe because she wasn't suited. And a few years later another I was in same school year killed a young fella doing the same. Your telling me you would not defend yourself against an agressor because it's a woman. Plenty of mad women have killed and maimed men over the years. Violence against anyone regardless of what sex is wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bostonmick Posted June 7, 2019 Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 If the cctv footage was going to show these two women attacking the four males then I doubt they would be reporting the assault to police. And maybe the report of it may have said two women charged with assault. I am fully aware that there are some violent females but they are a minority.

washerboy Posted June 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 They prosumed, then asked them to kiss accord to the news report. Sorry but I wouldn't honestly care what gender a person is, I've met male gays and female gays and not once did I think lets start a conversation that was intrusive. If your a *****, your a ***** no matter what gender.. Working on the door and just life in journey I've discovered that over 40+,years. I'm sat at the moment with a couple of Germans that only one speaks broken English but it's still better the my German, would I kick off.. No why because I would like to think im a reasonable Person.

Why would anyone presume 2 girls were gay? I think there's more to this story than meets the eye. I agree with what you are saying. I'm not condoning it in any way. People should be free to travel in public transport without fear of being attacked. I just don't think we're being fed the whole truth here.
