"Walking to the tram station in Brum this evening I noticed a group of girls bullying the big issue seller. They were trying to take her bag and just generally being really abusive towards her. I walked up to them and said why don't you just leave her alone.. in that instance one of the girls said why don't you go and eat tifle.. I had to laugh at that statement and said grow up. Not that I was a hero or anything but I got a thank you from the big issue seller.. Are we a society that walks on by in situations like this. I did think there was about 7 of them and thought oh shit if they start as some of them was under 18 and I would of been in serious shit if I laid a finger on them. " go girl! well done you xx | |||

"Personally I'd walk by, not because I want to and not because I think its morally the right thing to do but for the reasons you suggested yourself... YOU could have ended up in a whole heap of trouble with the law! We know someone a medical professional who spent a night in a police cell, two days after he 'had words' with a group of teenagers who abused his house during a birthday party for one of his own kids. Charges were dropped and he was set free but only after all of his details, DNA, fingerprints, photo etc. were added to the police criminal database with little to no chance of having the information removed, in spite of his total innocence! The teenagers in question walked away totally free! The line 'What is society coming to' always makes me laugh... we are society! Think bad of me if you wish for walking away from such a thing but I for one have a healthy fear of the systems that are supposed to protect us from such events, namely the police, the courts system and the government who pull their strings to try and make it 'look like' they are looking after us!" That's the problem with society these days, the walk on by culture let's the scroats think that they can get away with anything! Abusing / bullying weak vunuerable people is wrong and the feckers shouldn't beable to do it unchecked. Diamond deserves a at on the back and a whole lot more in my opinion. | |||

" its nice to help others but you have to out your own safty first Problem is now day it is mostly kids who act like this and the law is on their side, they can hit you and because they are under 18 it just goes on record and a hour later their going home with mummy, you belt them back and your in the shit | |||

" Respect to you and well done, I know we would have done the same. Put yourself in her place, wouldn't you want someone to help you or one of yours? Don't worry about them starting on you, treat them as equals and give them all a slap, I reckon public opinion and the courts would have been on your side. You should have told them they'd have faces like trifle if they didn't f**k off! The way I always look at it is....Its better to be tried by 12 than carried by 6! Again well done, it restores our faith in society when there are still people willing to stand up for the underdog. XXXX | |||

" Totally agree with you, and if it is indeed a 'culture' the culture has been created by society and the so-called clever people that society votes in to run it. Three true events for examples... A woman neighbour had some verbal abuse from another male neighbour. The son of the women heard about it and he then had 'words' no violence, just 'words' with the man in question. The son was arrested, charged and prosecuted by our wonderful judicial system for protecting/defending his own mother!!! A group of people I was with many years ago. A girl in the group was getting some verbal off an ex-boyfriend, who after he had his moan he left the pub. Another guy in the group decided to 'be a man' and followed him out of the pub. He ended up punching the ex-boyfriend and killed him stone dead in the process! I'd guess that 25 years later he might be out of prison by now! I'm not suggesting that people being abused should be allowed, its totally wrong! Diamond, totally with you on this BUT there is always a fine line between hero and stupid. You were lucky it turned out the way it did, it could have been a very different story! 'And in the news today, a have-go-hero was beaten to death when she tackled a group of... My youngest son is named in memory of a very close friend who was kicked to death in the street when he tried to help a mate who was set upon by a teenage gang. The mate run away. The thugs got no more than the remand time waiting for the case to be processed. Some of them got compensation as they were 'detained long enough' such is the wisdom of the judicial system. The police/court system took so long to process the case it went on for many months. During that time the mother of my friend couldn't take the stress and she died at a young age from a heart attack. Mother and son were buried together, one on top of the other. Any one still think I'm part of a don't care walk-away CULTURE!!! Don't think I'd be much use to my wife and kids if I were beaten to death in the street by a gang of thugs trying to protect the principal of what other people think is the right thing to do! | |||

"Was on the bus going home a while ago,a black guy got on and started abusing a young youth just because he looked in his direction.I was livid the fact this kid was scared stiff so i gave the black guy a mouthful,dont know if it was shock cuz im a woman or the fact someone had the balls stand up to him but he started stuttering and calmly got off the bus.Its not about been tough its about the protective instinct we all have in us and yes id do it again.Makes me fume that scum think they can walk around making decent peoples lives a misery " i'm sorry but does it matter that he was black ?? would you have said“a white youth” if he was white ? just a thought | |||

Hold your head up high and i commend you for your actions. I belive in what goes around comes around if you were in the same position you would expect help from your fellow human beings who saw your moment of need " | |||

" More to that one than meets the eye whatever they may have told you - the CPS wouldn't put through the case on just a few words, it's hard enough to get them to accept a real case. | |||

".... The son of the women heard about it and he then had 'words' no violence, just 'words' with the man in question. The son was arrested, charged and prosecuted by our wonderful judicial system for protecting/defending his own mother!!!..." From what I know on how these things work. The police turned up, told people to calm down and probably told some to go home, whilst they work out what happened. I suggest the lad didn't go home and was still using 'words' and the situation was not settling, and i'm sure he was told to calm down and they will talk to him later, but didn't, so he was arrested. Happens all the time, first priority us to calm and defuse the situation, then work out what happened. | |||

"One of my uncles once said for a passerby to walk pass someone needing assistance makes them as guilty if not more guilty than the perpetrator. We have always been told to stand fast defend where ever possible and defender assistance to those in need. If everyone was taught the same we live in a much Better world. " | |||
