Elmar Bijlsma Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 I don't have any problems with this. You can't hit adults. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomm Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Nowadays, you punch your grandmother in the face and then call the police? "She grabbed my wrists and I couldn't get out of it." Granny needs some Jiu Jitsu skillz. As for Felicia: **** off! Best regards, Thomm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmar Bijlsma Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Grandma threw the first punch, remember? That was probably ten years too late. I don't see why the girl, foul mouthed cow that she is, should just stand there and take it. Should grannies not be subjected to the law? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Seems like bad tempers run in the family. Could be they all need counseling. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stalins Organ Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 No Granny's should not be exempt from the law - 4 months "community detention" for beating grandson. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieseltaylor Posted May 3, 2010 Author Share Posted May 3, 2010 I have a problem with the idea that teenagers are adult [other than in law]. Biologically teenagers brains are developing still. But that is irrelevant in this case. It is obvious that I should now go and insult my aged neighbour and either they take the abuse or swing at me. Of course he could call the cops and say I am swearing at him and could they come and arrest me. I am not sure that is easy to prove - is it a mandatory arrest for neighbour abuse? !! As it happens they arrested the right person in this incident. Anyone not smart enough to lie in this case ..... No the girl would have a record for the rest of her life. Not so bad for a 73 year old women. Surely arresting both would have been the Solomon like judgement. Youths hitting pensioners just seems so wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonS Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 I have a problem with the idea that teenagers are adult [other than in law]. She's 18. That's plenty old enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
