/// Ah,well but,AOG you asked "What is this country coming to when an elderly Asian man cannot walk down the street without being attacked...?" ///
Once again you are completely wrong in the fact that I did not say that, but what I did say was,
"What is our country coming to when an eighty year old man cannot walk down the street, without being attacked by a member of the lower form of our present day youth"?
A complete difference you see?
Note the headline "ELDERLY ASIAN MAN ATTACKED" is a complete different kettle of fish.
This is a sub editors licence to create a headline that will get noticed by the maximum number of people, and I think you will agree (but the again perhaps not) that taking into account this section's readership, that is more striking than just "ELDERLY MAN ATTACKED"?
/// That suggests that "elderly, Asian man", was the purpose of your question , you see. Had you meant to speak of a general increase in violence, you needn't have been so specific about race, religion, or age need you? ///
My purpose was the fact that an elderly Asian man was attacked, that is the story, but also an example of what this country is coming two, you see it takes one to lead to another?
But get real will you, "PERSON ATTACKED, WHAT IS THIS COUNTRY COMING TO".
I would then have been asked why did I shy away from calling him elderly, or why had I chose not to say that he was Asian? And if I had failed to enter the story myself there would be others only willing to ask me to explain why i didn't enter a thread on that story, and was it because it was an attack on an Asian by a white person, rather than the other way round? One cannot win either way.
But the why should I be made to explain myself, when no one else does?
