But going back to the point to which I initially responded, which was to 'bang em all up' - are we in agreement that that is a touch totalitarian? Youre right, I was too soft, must be aging, ok harpoon them as well. There that's better 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CorpusChristie Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 1 hour ago, RuamRudy said: Did that actually make sense in your head as you typed it? If so, no wonder you are frustrated. Thankfully, the real world in which we all live is much less dystopian than you describe. You see, you missed out a critical step in the process - people get arrested based upon evidence. Oh - and judges don't decide the guilt or otherwise of a defendant. We have trials by jury in the UK. The photo in question is evidence that they were at a crime scene and thus quite probably involved in numerous crimes that had been committed that day , how about *obstructing the Police* ? Could be a case to answer that if they were not there , then the Police would have arrested the people committing crimes Judge/Jury, whatever, not that important , as what I meant was them being found guilty of crimes in Court Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be a case to answer that if they were not there , then the Police would have arrested the people committing crimes I would suggest that 'quite probably' fails to meet the burden of proof required to bring about criminal charges and a trial. As for 'obstructing the police' you would have to show that either they had prior knowledge of the intention to topple the statue and that their presence was a deliberate attempt to thwart the police, or that they interfered directly with the police's attempts to apprehend the vandals. And as I mentioned previously, TV journalists were there in the middle too - should they also be charged? 5 minutes ago, CorpusChristie said: Judge/Jury, whatever, not that important , as what I meant was them being found guilty of crimes in Court As you were lamenting about having to 'explain the basics' to me, I thought that maybe you would be keen for some reciprocal knowledge sharing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gullibility is a failure of social intelligence in which a person is easily tricked or manipulated into an ill-advised course of action. It is closely related to credulity, which is the tendency to believe unlikely propositions that are unsupported by evidence. - Wikipedia 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Tracy Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Is no one here a little confused over the headline? 'Man arrested over toppling of statue English slave trader' Perhaps better English would have been: Man arrested over toppling of statue of English slave trader, Man arrested over statue of English slave trader toppling. Man arrested over toppling of English slave trader statue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
