Croydon asylum boy assault: Up to 20 people watched attack - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-39470487 I hope the perpetrators -- and I understand some suspects are in custody -- go down for many years for this. A poor, innocent, law-abiding lad being beaten to an inch of his life - while others watched on. Sickening.
There is a programme on TV tonight which I'm guessing has been prompted by the recent attack in Croydon, "Kyle Files" 8.30pm ITV
Scumbag cowards ,mob handed IMO.. It`easy to say 20 people watched but who amongst you would be the first to try stop a mob attack like that on your own?
Fair point but how many of us would be out there in the mob in the first place?,that said how many of us would go up to a crowd and ask them to stop, I guess very few
Experts have mentioned that you just need to 'break' their concentration on being part of the 'mob'. I guess someone hiding from a window can shout 'i'll call the police!' Would be enough. Easier said than done of course and in most cases its too shocking to act on anything.
