Remember that girl who was beaten by half a dozen young thugs on a bus while the rest of the passengers looked on and did nothing? They got the kids who did it.
Too bad they can’t get the passengers on any charges.
Six youths were arrested by Barnet police this week in connection with a vicious anti-Semitic attack on a 12-year-old girl, that left her unconscious with a fractured eye socket.
The young victim who asked not to be named told the Jewish News yesterday how the incident last month had shattered her confidence and left her suffering from terrifying nightmares.
The police said that four 14-year-old girls, a 10-year-old girl and a boy aged 10, had been arrested and released on bail in connection with the attack, which shocked London’s Jewish community.
The group allegedly sat close to the girls and began quizzing them about their clothing before asking if they were Jewish.
[…] “She got off me. Then she pulled my hair and screamed, ‘Get her phone, get her phone’. I think I slapped her and my friend pulled me down the steps to get to the door.
“Everyone on the bus looked at us like we were mad. We were screaming for him to open the door.â€
Despite her screams of terror, fellow passengers looked on and said nothing until eventually a boy forced the door open so they could make their escape.
I’m sorry, but the passengers were so chickenshit they couldn’t face down a bunch of teenaged girls and two ten-year-olds? What kind of wusses do they grow over in Britain? Is the British Empire laid so low that they can’t be bothered to stop a bunch of girls?
No wonder British Muslims are brazenly calling for the death of the Pope. They know the Brits won’t stand up to a bunch of screaming little girls wielding cell phones, let alone screaming young men threatening death.
I’m going to use a very non-PC phrase here, but I really need to know: When did the Brits become a nation of pussies?
The British Lion is dead, unfortunately. All that remains is a kitten.
1991, when Maggie Thatcher was kicked out as PM by her own party. This act of symbolic matricide led directly to the ascendency of “New Labour” under Blair. Tone has good sense (about international affairs at any rate), but nobody else there seems to have it, and his “Cool Britannia” is nonsense. Domestically Tone has been busy tearing down everything that used to make Britain Britain, abetting the multicultis in their cultural vandalism.
Sic transit gloria mundi.
Well, when I went there to study in the summer of ’01, we were told flat out during orientation not to try to fight back against muggers and whatnot, since that sort of thing can get you in trouble.
Many trends in Britain seem to hit the US after a time delay. A lot of the stuff that C S Lewis wrote about in his social commentary 1in the late 1940s (I’m thinking particularly about “The Abolition of Man”) didn’t really appear in the US in force until the late ’80s or early ’90s.
Which is pretty scary in this context.
You’re making a mistake. The other passengers weren’t wussies, they were with the attackers. You don’t know the Brits the way I do – I’ve lived with them for 47 years.
UK wimped out when they abolished the rights to self-defense, carrying rifles (not handguns) and almost all hunting during the late 1990’s. There have been many cases of homeowners stabbing or shooting burglars within their home who were prosecuted for assault. Similarly, those who stand up to and beat muggers have been prosecuted. It’s very warped.

The above poster is correct. The busriders were with the attackers, albeit passively. The Government teaches passivity so that they, the Gov’t can be the Big Papa, with its cameras and surveillance and encroaching rights. Woe to the strong individual who actually fights to protect himself. It’s a sick co-dependence on a National scale. They’re all Eunichs. Except for the Arabs.
