Different Assaults for Different Folks - how we get all up in arms when the victim is female and all so-what when it's a boy.

I'm always proud of my police department for holding both genders accountable for whatever kind of assault. We get a lot of women-on-men domestic violence, and those women do not escape charges. We've even had cases of she-said-he-said, where evidence proves she did it, and she is charged despite her innocence plea.

It's good that at least in some places where men are victims, people take it seriously. It's a start!

The deep spiritual sickness of contemporary Britain is evident in the following comment on the inquiry in the liberal newspaper, The Guardian: “Although much of the abuse centred on the taunts about the children’s disabilities, police failed to recognise it as a hate crime rather than simple antisocial behaviour, which would have made it a far higher priority.”

In other words, the seriousness of an offense committed in Britain now depends upon who the victim is. If a person is not of an identifiably protected group, he or she is not entitled to police intervention against abusive stone- and bottle-throwing youths. He is not entitled to protection at all.

The Guardian’s article appears to accept that such behavior, so long as it targets a member of an unprotected group, is merely undesirable—“anti-social” rather than obviously criminal. The rule of law is fast evaporating in Britain; we are coming to live in a land of men, not of laws.
