Charlotte Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 I don't get why so many people are still against hitting women!! "You don't hit women!", Why? I bloody would!! I don't think that's the point of the thread. Do you get so far into a thread and some kind of button is released, hence a 'controversial statement'?

I disagree completely, I'm old school, perhaps my opinions are outdated too but women can be restrained or calmed down with chocolate. I thought the police had sprays on their Batman belts to use in situations like this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlotte Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 I thought the police had sprays on their Batman belts to use in situations like this? Are the sprays white chocolate or milk? Only I'd like one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamanC Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Should have hit her with a big stick rather than a punch. Sorry, its a criminal, was i ment to feel sorry for her? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian R Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 I would say good on them. If it was my car damaged I would be much happier for a bobby to kick the shit out of them than leave it to the CPS. Be a lot cheaper as a tax payer too. (Not that this happened in this instance) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kittyclaws Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 So now she is saying that she is epileptic, in that case, what the f#ck is she doing in a nightclub (strobes etc), yes she could also be on medication but you can't drink whilst taking it. My brother inlaw suffers from it and need the meds so he can still drive. He can only have the one pint any more than that and he can get quite ill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbourner Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 I don't think that's the point of the thread. So the title "Police punch woman", and Michael's post saying: I think I'd be happier to hear she got send down for a few months rather than being punched by the fuzz. don't have anything to do with whether or not we should be able to hit women? Do you get so far into a thread and some kind of button is released, hence a 'controversial statement'? Well I only just read the thread, day off today so I haven't been on here as much like when I'm bored at work! I do like a bit of controversy, but not for the sake of controversy, I'm only giving my personal opinions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ark Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 I disagree completely, I'm old school, perhaps my opinions are outdated too but women can be restrained or calmed down with chocolate. I thought the police had sprays on their Batman belts to use in situations like this? The sprays are classed similar to firearms, and using them usually ends up in a mountain of paperwork, because of the massive distress they cause. They are intended as a last resort against an armed assailant. The police are trained to use technique rather than strength, so they don't have to be stupidly strong. Plus when an opponent goes into the delirium mentioned earlier, they hardly feel pain thanks to the massive quantities of endorphins in their system, so they feel invulnerable and the alcohol in this case probably led her to think "Hey this is fun", or perhaps "I can win here".

miko_supra Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 i think everyone would be glad she got punched if it was a supra getting damaged...ey? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted March 8, 2007 Author Share Posted March 8, 2007 i think everyone would be glad she got punched if it was a supra getting damaged...ey? Not really. What if it was your mother or sister who had foolishly had a few too many and then become angry for one reason or another? Would you hope that they would be treated in a professional manner using tried and tested techniques to retrain a person or simply knocked around by some untouchable guy in a uniform? If it was a chap damaging the car I'd be all for him being skinned alive and dipped in lemon juice before being punched to a mush but my upbringing simply won't allow me to condone violence against a woman... odd isn't it.

I just find this really weird mentality, and TBH I see it as sexist. We are all supposed to be equal, and nowadays more than ever before there are women around that are no less deserving of a slap than the men. Don't get me wrong I'm not a bully and I don't get off on the power or whatever it is you're thinking. I would never (for example) hit my girlfriend, no matter how 'heated' things got, purely because I'm a lot bigger and stronger than she is - similarly I'd never 'beat up' a weedy little bloke who had no chance against me. There are many many women in this world who could do me serious damage, would you expect me to sit there and take a beating without defending myself if a strong woman started fighting me (for whatever reason)?

Tom Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Sort of reminded me of this vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXJhTneBNm8 Tbh if she was resisting arrest then fair enough, no problem at all with it just pissed off that about that guy bringing up what happened in the USA She had no physical evidence to show from it from the looks of her vid, she didnt even know what had happned and made claims about being scratched and bruised on her face and the rest of her body? nothing that could have happnened by the bouncers then? or falling down the stairs? or possbily started a fight in the night club which was why she got chucked out? ffs, you did something wrong and got a dead arm, get over it.

Odd is the word! I still can't believe in this day and age that women get off so lightly. There are some right nasty bitches out there who think nothing of mugging old women and men in some circumstances. If I was being attacked by a woman I wouldn't think twice about punching her in the mush. Whether I am right or wrong I don't know.! Domestic voilence is one thing but defending yourself is another. I made the mistake once of under estimating a woman and got toe bunged in the balls for my naivety. When that pain shoots up into your stomach, you think about killing the bitch never mind giving her a smack!! Rant complete! H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kittyclaws Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 I've seen a woman trying to claw a man's eyes out, and she had the longest nails i've seen, and you are telling me that the bloke shouldn't hit her. F#ck that. I have also been taught not to hit a woman, but in this day of age, they are trying to inflict serious injuries, ie using their nails on the eyes, using bottles etc, so in that case I would punch them (male or female) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 They made the fatal error of doing it where they could be seen, IMO they should have let her have an "accident" in the van. If a woman attacked me I'd not think twice about smacking her one in defence. They want womens lib, let `em `ave it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Single parent family, raised by mother... perhaps that's a factor) If people get violent when they have one too many the answer is moderation in their drinking, sooner or later someone sober and fitter / better is going to give them a beating in self defence. Their choice, no one forces them to get bladdered up Makes no odds if they are male or female, I don't want to sit in casuality thinking what a gent I am for not fending off some tart with a drink problem who came at me with a beer glass. I'd like to see the police use a lot more violence on violent offenders, preferably be armed, and a lot less likely to have to face time consuming and costly enquiries as to WHY they used force on some layabout.

Class One Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Are the sprays white chocolate or milk? Only I'd like one. Get yourself out this weekend and grab a copper by the balls, you might find out then Pop round Charlotte. Squeeze 'em right and you'll get a milky spray, only it won't taste like chocloate.

Scoboblio Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Pop round Charlotte. Squeeze 'em right and you'll get a milky spray, only it won't taste like chocloate. IMO she deserved it. She assulted a policeman in pretty much the worst way she could think of at the time and he reacted accordingly. And race relations getting involved, WTF? Crazy.

Class One Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 On a more serious issue, and addressing the point made earlier as to why the Police didn't use their spray, I would have guessed it would have been down to cross contamination issues. Looking at the exerpt of the video that has been released, it kicks off at the top of some stairs, and they tumble down them into a heap at the bottom. Releasing your gas in very close proximity to someone is going to lead you to getting it full on yourself. Part of training it exposure to it. It's one of those things that you can't really build a tolerance to, and I for one am totally incapicitated when exposed to CS. Also, these days, for some reason, it is only affecting 6/10 people as opposed to 8 or 9/10 wyhen it was first issued in the mid 90's. So the last thing you want it to incapicatate yourself and not your suspect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 I'm old school in my thinking in that you don't hit a lady... And I stick to this, HOWEVER, if you have ever been out for a night in Basingstoke, you will soon realize that there are not a lot of ladies left. Some of them would take a bloke down and then stamp and kick.. hence the reason I don't go out into town anymore (call it growing up, or the fact that I don't want to get the shit kicked out of me by some random act of violence by a female)... Females no longer scratch and slap, then pack decent punches these days, and self defence is self defence... The media are going to make sure they destroy these policeman, who at the end of the day would be wrong if they didn't do anything and she kicked off at someone else... (cue imi)... If she was being out of order, then the police did their job of dealing with the situation.. end of (IMHO) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
