Obviously it's too late to involve the police and likely to be ineffective in any case. I'm tending towards the view that the issue is one of doing things in the appropriate place. If they'd been watching these clips at home, then revolting as it is, it's not really any of the state's business. I still feel such behaviour is unacceptable in public places though and for that it would be acceptable to arrest and charge them, possibly with a breach of the peace. On the wider issue of the daily misery these thugs inflict on bus passengers I have decided to contact my MP. The most annoying thing of all is that at least one of the anti social element are out of prison on licence, (they like to boast of this at top volume), I find it hard to believe that any of these people can be considered rehabilitated. Unless going to work under the influence of drugs and alcohol and shouting abuse at people on public transport is considered acceptable by the criminal justice system.Clairwilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10503239355248016287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18009508.post-1133623561644803832005-12-03T15:26:00.000+00:002005-12-03T15:26:00.000+00:00Well, clearly there is a legal precedent for their...Well, clearly there is a legal precedent for their conviction, were they to actually show it to someone who didn't want to see it. However, while they keep it to themselves, they probably haven't done anything wrong, although it does depend which website the material originated from.Steve55https://www.blogger.com/profile/04477925900181793757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18009508.post-1133620770345965222005-12-03T14:39:00.000+00:002005-12-03T14:39:00.000+00:00From a purely pratical point of view you'd have to...From a purely pratical point of view you'd have to report the matter, and probably personally identify the offenders, and that in itself would place you in jeopardy every time you stepped out of your door or onto a bus. It wouldn't be worth it, not least because the police would almost certainly find some excuse or other for not pursuing the complaint to its logical conclusion - which would be to press charges. That's not to say that I don't agree entirely with your view. I do. It's shameful and offensive in the extreme. Perhaps a word with the Transport Police, if such a body exists, would be the answer. You may be able to lodge a complaint - incognito - with them, and that might spur them to take some kind of action themselves. Alternatively a letter to your MP might have a similar effect.alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11737560129000395761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18009508.post-1133577846549958342005-12-03T02:44:00.000+00:002005-12-03T02:44:00.000+00:00I think I had some second thoughts on that post at...I think I had some second thoughts on that post at the time and chopped out much of the scathing tone. I still thought the sentence was OTT, but on further consideration I realised that if some fucker had sent me a beheading in an email at work, i'd have been in a fair bit of distress. It is also entirely possible that it was the Bigley beheading, which I believe took about three minutes to carry out.<BR/><BR/>The sentence was inappropriate, but the call to the police was in hindsight, entirely understandable.iLL Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08107892879700381858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18009508.post-1133569935295147482005-12-03T00:32:00.000+00:002005-12-03T00:32:00.000+00:00Oh I see.
