Central London mob attacks people in Hyde park

[8ball]

"just pushes her over" - fantastic. "I'm not punching you luv (although we all know it's worth a punch lol) I'll just push you over, lay you out. If you want to get up and try it again, go on, get up, let's be having ya"

Where did I say anything about 'worth a punch'?

 

[cesare]

You didn't, as far as I recall. But Attica said it was worth a punch, so you putting it in context of merely decking her with a push instead of a punch makes it all right?

Judging by the pic that shows their full bodies it doesn't really look like either a push or a punch, but possibly like he was trying to catch her and they twatted into each other (I'm just guessing from the position of his legs here, but it goes to show how a bit of cropping can completely change the feel of a picture).

I have some sympathy for Attica here, actually, because I think if an equivalent picture was shown and the lad was in a police uniform he would have been given much more benefit of the doubt, and it wouldn't have surprised me if some posters had interpreted it as the girl 'attacking the officer'.

 

[teuchter]

The picture, though, is really fairly irrelevant to the whole thread, in the end.

I don't think anyone is going to try and say that we can come to any sort of conclusion about what did or didn't happen on that day, just from one series of photographs.

Is a fair point.

I don't have much confidence in a series of pics tbh. I've no confidence in how that's reported, how the pics get manipulated and/or interpreted etc. What I reacted to was the 'worth a punch' and 'boo hoo hoo' if a kid gets injured.

 

[8ball]

Well, yes, that bit was less then edifying.

 

[scifisam]

The wrongness of hitting a girl who has thrown water at you doesn't justify a heavy-handed indiscriminate attack by the pigs.

It's possible that neither party is entirely in the right.

Yup. That picture doesn't make it clear if it's a punch, a push, or sliding into each other, but if it was a punch then he's rightly going to be in a lot of trouble.

Though, if there were people throwing water at the people on horseback (from the reports I fread, I thought it was more coincidental than that - horse-riders went past and got spooked), then they were utter twats too. Hope the kids involved are OK, whatever their class.

I wonder if the people attacking the police were actually people spraying water at them, or was it people actually hitting them?

Waterfights are fun. Perhaps there could be a properly sanctioned, organised one in Hyde Park sometime, keeping clear of horseriding routes and so on.

 

[8den]

The history of the police from the start WAS NEVER NEUTRAL - they have ALWAYS been against the people in confluict situations.

Yeah cause the police should be "for" people in "conflucit" situations".

The police arrive theres been an altercation, a woman is claiming she is assaulted.

Furthermore it's coming off the background of the death of Frederick Moody, killed in London less than two weeks previous to this, after a water fight.

So to be clear, there were several claims of assault against this woman, several children on the day, and in the background, days beforehand a kid was killed after a water fight turned nasty.

And you're giving the police shit over shutting this down? For fucks sake the last thing the MPC needed was a potential second kid killed or injured in water fight in the capital within days of each other.

Attica once again you have come out as a utter fucking tool. Some morons organised a fecking water fight over an anonymous social networking site. In central London. Someone got pissed off, and may or may not have assaulted a woman. There were further reports of children and other people being injured. This coming days after another murder after a water fight in London.

And you're giving the cops shit over this one Attica? Why?

Jesus you are pathetic.

So far:
- let's take the fight to children horse riders
- defend our designer gear
- all in the name of justice

What. The. Fuck. ?

Oddly, we've now actually transcended a level where DB chips in to try and defend the police, and entered a whole new level of surrealism. Maybe this is going to be nominee in the end of year thread compo. Can't quite decide if it's beating "Anarcho Peace War Rave in a Minefield".

 

[STFC]

Left wadical cares about designer top?

The Divvy Wears Prada?

 

[Artaxerxes]

Ruined a designer top - worth a punch imho.

What sort of retard wears a designer top to a waterfight?

 

[Stobart Stopper]

What sort of retard wears a designer top to a waterfight?

Chavs!

 

[Artaxerxes]

Chavs!

I meant an actual designer top rather than some knock off crap

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

Nobody did. Attica made that bit up to justify beating up girls.

Lmao.

I can see where Attica was going with the thread, but I think he muddied the waters (but no water fight) with his footie analogy.

I was hoping that was an Ing-er-land shirt the fella was wearing when it got soaked in red juice.

 

[detective-boy]

The Divvy Wears Prada?

LOL!

 

[STFC]

I can see where Attica was going with the thread...

You can? Maybe you could explain it to the rest of us then.

Here the evidence is clear, a mob of police violently attack playful youths having a water fight in Hyde Park;

https://publish.indymedia.org.uk/en/2008/07/404984.html

Police wankers.

The evidence is clear? No it's not. There two photos of coppers who appear to be walking in line, not violently attacking anyone from what I can see. There are a few conflicting accounts of what actually happened, including this:

was at Hyde Park corner when the police with their dogs and tasers were dispersing the crowd. I was 5 metres away from the guy that got tasered after he started punching several cops.

He's full of shit, as per usual.

 

[Melinda]

Yeeeeeah that... plus there was the justifying punching women thing, oh and the whole 'only toff kids ride horses' stuff.

 

[The Black Hand]

Nobody did. Attica made that bit up to justify beating up girls.

Not true.

 

[The Black Hand]

Yeeeeeah that... plus there was the justifying punching women thing, oh and the whole 'only toff kids ride horses' stuff.

I did not justify punching a woman, I said I understood it.
Didn't say that. I assumed it, before I was informed that proles are allowed to ride them too if they pay.

 

[teuchter]

Hooray! Attica's back!

Some entertainment for a grey Tuesday afternoon.

 

[teuchter]

Do you justify punching a man, though?

 

[The Black Hand]

Well, yes, that bit was less then edifying.

But FFS just how much emotional fekking support are we meant to display on fekking line?

I've got enough trouble in my family without fekking pretending I care about people I do not know or will never meet online, and given that there are potentially millions of causes/cases/news/issues its stupid to suggest that we do. It's ultra fekking liberal Ok Yah polite shite to display so much empathy to every fekking thing. Fuk that. You lot aren't individuals - you're PC clones.

 

[The Black Hand]

Do you justify punching a man, though?

You? Yes.

 

[Artaxerxes]

You should be a politician Attica, you're certainly eloquent enough...

 

[teuchter]

OMG Attica Punches PC Clones!!!!!!!

 

[teuchter]

I've got enough trouble in my family without fekking pretending I care about people I do not know or will never meet online,

Then why do you care about the violent police mob beating up all the innocent teenagers in Hyde Park?

 

[The Black Hand]

Then why do you care about the violent police mob beating up all the innocent teenagers in Hyde Park?

Cos it relates to the structure of society that I and my family live in and experience wherever I go.

Of course it does! I bet you can't even go down the shops for a pint of milk without seeing the fascist pigs wading in to a bunch of kids having a water fight.
