Central London mob attacks people in Hyde park

IS everything so straightforward in your world? Of course randomly inviting 300 young people to a public place to soak each other could in no way lead to trouble in your Utopian view of the world.
 
And of course a woman wasn't photographed being brutally knocked to the ground during said water fight. All the people who phoned the police to call them to the area were of course delusional about what was going on. And of course Frederick Moody-Boateng is still alive.
 
No. This is where London police brutally cleared a large number of youths from Hyde Park for the hideous crime of having a water fight in the hot sun.
And the guy who decked a girl? That looked pretty damn brutal to my eyes.
 
I'd be quite happy for the "central london mob" to attack people in Hyde Park if this was what they were doing to me

not forgetting the poor kids who were thrown off their horses and could have ended up with much worse injuries. Oh and not forgetting that someone decided to set their pitbull on the police :rolleyes:
 
Article in today's Guardian:

Once it was an innocent trickle from a small plastic water pistol or a water-filled balloon. Then came the water-fight arms race with its Super Soaker pump-action shotguns, 12m firing ranges and nine-litre backpacks. And it all went really nuclear when social networks were deployed to create "splash mobs".

The water fight's graduation from summery fun to riot was sealed last week when 250 people gathered for a splash mob at Kensington Gardens in London. The Facebook-organised jape got out of hand when one man attacked a woman who dowsed him in coloured liquid, passersby were "accidentally" splashed and horse-riding children were injured after being thrown from their mounts.

While some participants complained the police overreacted in arresting nine people, you could understand the authorities' wariness: earlier this month Frederick Moody Boateng, 18, was stabbed to death in London after a row thought to have been triggered by a water fight earlier that day

Do you go to watch football?
Yes, fairly often. And I've never seen a women being decked by a bloke - and I support what is supposed to be a 'rough' team.

What was the last game you went to, and when did you see a woman being punched out by man? What game was that?

Did you not notice this part of what i wrote?

"(unless you are being sexist)." Making the point that gender is irrelevant.

The point was people get punched all the time, the girl getting laid out is no reason for the plod to carry on as if a riot has started.

actually yeah, at football matches police do just let fights kick off all the time without doing anything.

The fact that "people get punched all the time" doesn't make it OK. What do you want the police to do? Stand by and cheer? And what is your "evidence" that the police acted inappropriately? (Second time asking).

What was the last game you went to? And can you give me some examples of women being hit at football games recently?

People get punched all the time

Sadly you are not amongst them
If its no cause for cop intervention and no cause for alarm, perhaps you'll let me punch you should we ever meet. I ask now as I suspect there may be rather a long queue
