[A vulnerable woman who was covered in flour and eggs and photographed in front of four teenage boys says she wants to know why she was targeted.
The woman had been sitting on a park bench in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, on Friday evening when she was approached by the group.]
Kid punks.
Poor lady

Poor woman ,minding her own business no wonder she's questioning why .
This isn't even a prank , it's assault ! and she must of been scared as well being outnumbered . I hope they get what's coming to them seen as they think it's funny to attack innocent people and post it on social media.

I can't stop thinking about this. She must have been so scared, I get nervous walking past big groups of guys and this type of assult is just horrific.
They wanted to humiliate a poor lady who just wanted to enjoy sitting in the park but I bet she is scared to do that now mhich is incredibly sad to think she is likely to sit indoors alone instead. :(

It was nothing personal, nothing specific to her. These cowardly little ignorant bastards of bullies did it because she was:
a) a woman
b) alone
c) frailer than them
d) elderly
They would have done the same thing to any other man, woman, child or pet just as long as the 'odds were in their favour' so they had no fear from any retaliation by the victim.
Most of all though, they did it because they CAN do it without fear of PUNISHMENT from the law.
There is now NO deterrent which will make bastards such as these stop and think - nothing within the law which they fear, and sadly, the ONLY thing which they DO fear is outside the law - the severest ****ing beating they could ever suffer.

...well that could have some truth as well, Adam...the world is not full of perfect parents who are capable of disciplining their children just perfectly, if only, eh...what a great world that would be...that’s why many families need care for the whole family including the parents and they need guidance etc and they need plans put in place from various social organisations...and they all need to work together to achieve that discipline balance etc...sadly though, the funding just isn’t there..it’s not like the government don’t know what’s needed or how to give it...they just don’t act is all...

Yeah many of us grew up in situations like this we didn't turn feral, sorry Ammi that is no excuse whatsoever, not having anything to do shouldn't mean you suddenly forget your morals or have no empathy or feel it is okay to assault a fellow human being, maybe they could do some volunteering somewhere I'm sure there is public transport out of Bury St Edmunds if there is nothing to do there

...that’s why I said I wasn’t excusing their behaviour though, Cherie because there is no excuse for it...there are things though that can be done to prevent things like this happening...to possibly have prevented that poor lady to have gone through something like this if there had been more police presence..and yeah, volunteering is something which definately makes all people feel valued in a community, whether young or older etc...but again, there is no guidance in that either around Bury St Edmunds atm with community policing and such the like...no excuses but possibilities to help prevent is all which surely must be something to be considered in the lack of funding ways we have now...

It seems that lack of funding hs not stopped the Suffolk Police from deploying 24/7 task force to protect these little bastards from possible retaliatory attacks by members of the public, Cherie.

..no we don’t need police to be looking over shoulders so that we don’t assault people, Cherie..(..sorry I don’t get it either with what you’re trying to say or think I’m saying..?..)..of course we don’t...those morals are inbuilt into us but sadly for whatever reason, some don’t have them or have very little of them so a police presence is helpful in hopefully preventing these things, with the absence of those morals and the absence of any empathy or compassion for human for what’ever reason...in living in this area, I know things like this were barely ever reported to be the case in last days when there was a police presence in the area..both on a community policing level and in upholding the law in prevention of...but now sadly, this isn’t something I’m as shocked at as I should be just because it’s becoming more prevalent here as is probably the case in many areas in the country...
...these young people must fully own what they have done, there is no doubt about that...but for the future, things could be done to prevent similar things happening to other vulnerable people as this is just a recent ‘rise in’ which wasn’t there when more vigilance was there and more guidance was given...
It seems that lack of funding hs not stopped the Suffolk Police from deploying 24/7 task force to protect these little bastards from possible retaliatory attacks by members of the public, Cherie.
...seriously though Kirk, isn’t that the point though...the funding is there../..was there apparently...but this poor lady had to have this happen to her for that funding to be administered, which is wrong in my opinion...why do people have to go through these things before funding is applied and the government realise there is a problem with cutbacks atm...a serious problem...

I agree, Ammi, but my point - for a long time now - is that in a lot of cases, the Police are directing their supposedly underfunded resources in the wrong way. Some cowardly jerk-offs high up the chain feel it is more important to pander to the perpetrators rather than protect the victims.
It is the liberal left PC way after all.

..I agree Kirk, any funding that is being used is being directed more in the ‘after crime’ than the ‘prevention of’ and that seems like dumb logic to me because it’s the whole essential and fundamental of a police force to prevent crime in their presence if possible...but it has nothing to do with liberal left or pc or anything other than PC’s on the beat where they’re needed and where they have been in the past which is just not happening anymore...in this area anyway, not just in the town but all of the outside villages as well...there is no community policing anymore, no guidance at all and no prevent presence...
..I don’t agree with any type of vigilante actions and that’s not because I’m liberal or PC or any such thing but it’s just not any type of solution because then those vigilantes will have to answer for their crimes to the law and so it goes on and so it goes on with no addressing of any solution...so I do believe that if lives are threatened or thought to be at risk now or if safety is at risk...those measures taken now are important to protect...regardless of what someone has done because the legal way has to be the way in society otherwise there is no society at all...it all breaks down and all is lost...it just could have been directed differently and more appropriately if you like in the first place...rather than drastic measures once the crimes have been committed...sadly the government can’t see this or refuse to, I don’t know but it’s very frustrating and so sad that vulnerable people in society have to suffer such things as this lady has...

I still don't get it, rather than saying this happened because there is nothing to do, or this happened because the police are underfunded, this happened because these 4 are nasty ****s or at least one of them is and the others are easily led, so they need to be sat down and given a talking to about being a human being by a responsible adult and about what is right and wrong although you would have thought they would have learned that by now, but it needs reiterating

...but some young people haven’t learned it by now..they might not have had a responsible parent or adult in their lives to have given that talking to about being a human being with human values...and that’s the thing... that’s a role that a community police officer had when there were such things...to sit them right down and give that talking to if it was felt it was needed...and also to try to direct those nasty whatever’s in other focuses of helping a community...hence ‘prevent’ being a huge priority for me in funding application...it just may have prevented this lady having had to experience this awful thing...maybe it wouldn’t have..?...but it possibly could have while also building moral values into young people who have not had someone to sit them down in their lives...
...I don’t excuse...I’m going to make that very clear...I do not excuse their behaviour which is why if prevention of that behaviour and those mindsets and morals is possible, is changeable in any way...that’s a path to be looked at with more funding...

They knew that assaulting a random woman with flour and eggs and then posting the picture on social media was the wrong thing to but they did it anyway because they're nasty dicks, no amount of extra community funding or whatever would have changed that. We just have to give them the harshest punishment possible and hope that they change their ways I guess.
Is this not touched on in education Ammi? even if there isn't adequate parental supervision?
..yes of course, Cherie...but the cutbacks are there as well though as you know..less experienced teachers of ‘the old ways of mentoring’ and guiding in favour of the cheaper teacher who will adhere more to data and favourable statistics instead...there are great teachers both older generation and younger generation but the methods of teaching are adhering more and more to government directives if teachers want to pursue a teaching career...data, data, data etc...individuality is being phased out by the government cutbacks in schools...anyway there was only ever so much a school was capable of in terms of moral guidance if there was no parental guidance or other guidance in an environment of a child...and social care with families..CAFS..?...well, that’s almost impossible these days with funding to get any attention of a family in need of ‘supervision’ from any social service organisation...the balance of anything positive just isn’t there in a child’s life anymore, sadly...through all of that child’s life stages...
...I’m a lady of leisure now and don’t have to touch these things daily in the same way...and maybe I should just let go of prevent stuff..?..:laugh:...but I just can’t it’s too ingrained in me in my belief in it ...that it really can make a difference...not for all but for some...

We will have to agree to disagree Ammi, I think learning right from wrong is just part of schooling, not necessarily a taught thing, but more role modelling and interaction with your peers and your teachers, I think most people know right from wrong by the time they leave primary, unless there is a learning difficulty.

I can't disagree with Cherie on this. They know it's wrong to intimidate and humiliate someone like that, especially someone disabled and more vulnerable than most. She's an easy target and they're bullies, they specifically chose someone like her because she's less likely to be able to retaliate or defend herself, that's pretty calculated and nasty. Right from wrong my arse (sorry Ammi)

..that’s cool, Cherie...I never expected any agreement in my own thoughts at all with this or anything else, I was just giving my own personal thoughts is all...I don’t feel that community policing is needed for those most people who do know right from wrong by the time they leave primary etc...but it may help prevent for those that slip through the net, whether there be learning difficulties or not...

Yeah cases like these I do agree some sort of relevant community service could be better than jail time. Maybe something that would help them change how they view and deal with people especially those weaker and more vulnerable than themselves. Time in prison would only make them worse I think

Typical twisting of the situation by the sun to enflame a situation rather than just reporting on it.
It's standard procedure to not reveal the identities of defendants that are under the age of 18 and if there's a threat of vigilantism, which there is in this case because people are ignorant enough to think that violence is a good answer to this, then the police have a duty to try to prevent that.
The police aren't protecting these bastards, they are protecting people from their own stupidity.

A 'Knee-Jerk' reaction is possible following ONE specific and usually shocking incident, but THIS particular type of incident is now becoming so commonplace that the cries for the perpetrators to be given a taste of their own crime or worse - though fuelled by anger and outrage - is not any 'Knee-Jerk' reaction but the cries of ordinary decent citizens who have long had enough of these ignorant, anti-social bastards being handled with kid-gloves by those in authority whom they feel have abandoned them.
Don't take MY word for it - go out and talk to citizens all over the UK.
A perfect punishment would be the stocks.

It is a knee-jerk reaction, mob justice is still mob justice and vigilantism should be resigned to the realms of fiction.
Too many people are quick to wish for violence in situations like this, how long until people begin to act and target the wrong person? It's such a slippery road and it pains me to see so many people so willing to slide backwards just to sate their bloodlust. I've seen it all day on FB, it's just grim.
