manxy Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Don't know why, but it sort of reminds me of the culling seagulls thread? I hope the woman gets over this quickly and hope that the git is sent to prison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bambster Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 On www.Iomtoday.co.im they've got photos of the people they are seeking. Have a look and see what you think, I for one think Napoleon Dynamite has been up to no good. I hope when they catch up with him they don't believe his alibi that he was with his Uncle in Alaska hunting Wolverines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't expect to get touched up on the weekly shop! Sebrof, I would like to think that your just trying to make light of the situation, but this is serious. The way I see it is this, there's a big difference from wanting attention to that of unwanted attention. Any sexual assault makes me very angry and I can't think what the woman is thinking, but I certainly know of what I'm thinking. If it happened to me, I personally would be at every ferry point check in time, waiting, and it wouldn't be to say hello. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gladys Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Which aisle was it? Without wanting to diminish the incident, was it really a sexual assault (i.e. putting someone in fear of their personal safety) or a bit of out of hand, tasteless horseplay (often to be successfully repulsed with a 'feck off, or your gonads are dead meat' kind of riposte) ? If it was the former then hunt the bastards down, if it was the latter, well, I leave it to others to decide. However, I can think of much better venues for a successful sexual assault than the baked bean aisle in Tescos. /Runs for cover from everyone./ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please tell me where, I have to sexually abuse myself these days (sorry, I know it's in poor taste) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manxy, as Gladys suggests, this is hardly likely to have been anything at all serious. There is a deeply unhealthy preoccupation with sex in the English-speaking world, and it gives rise to things that are very trivial being blown up out of all proportion. Nonsense such as Julia Somerville being arrested for taking a photograph of her child in the bath is an example. If it WAS more serious than I think it was, then I will gladly apologise, but I suspect that it wasn't. I am much more concerned about real violence, such as people being attacked by drunken yobs on the street. S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gilf_uk Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 I think the very fact that this lady has gone to the police eliminates horseplay. No person has the right to touch another person in such a way that it makes that person feel violated. Would you all be so quick to crack a joke or talk down the incident if it had been a child involved? It is clear that the police are treating it as a serious incident in so far that they have recovered the cctv tapes, reviewed them, captured the images and released them to the public.

sarahc Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 It's up to the recipient/victim to decide if it's horseplay or assault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
