Paul1405 - I like the humor in your post above but you forgot to mention that advocate paul would be demonstrating in front of the police stn and courthouse on there behalf, while asking the Government for taxpayers money to support his activities.

Phil you have to make it sound funny. Like there will be Paul in his Green Pixie suit emonstrating in front of the police stn and courthouse on there behalf, while asking the Government for taxpayers money to support their rehabilitation at his organic tofu farm.

Dear Hasbeen,

My nephew was bashed very badly by a group of white youths
on campus where he was a student when he came to the aid
of a young girl that they were harrassing. He ended up
in hospital and today wears a plate in his head.
He'll never be the same again mentally. The only reason that
I'm telling you this is to again stress that - violence is
not restricted to just one particular group.

>>"The offender who punched the woman had a dark skin tone"

This is pretty vague.

I have met many Greek, Italian, Spanish etc. people who could easily fit this description.<<

Bit of an understatement Pericles. People with dark skin tones don't just come from Africa: they come from every continent except Antarctica where nobody comes from.

I'm saddened by some of the comments so far but I'll try to look one the bright side: reconciliation has come a long way in this country if the knee-jerk reaction from the melanophobic community is to blame an African and not an Aboriginal.

Cheers,

Tony

Did you see or hear the report of the linesman in a youth soccer match
in Holland that was murdered by three members of the losing team ?

The police and news reports made no mention of ethnicity as PC
requirements are that information be suppressed.
It later turned out that they were Moroccan/Dutch.

The police handicap themselves when they issue descriptions as in the wheelchair case.

Jay, the statistics can be found in the gaol records of the ratio of
ethnicity. A relative is a Correction Service (another PC) officier
and the gaols are mostly divided into Moslem, Asian and Islander gangs
with Australians in the minority.

Singling
out their skin colour should not be the issue here.

It IS an issue Lexi.
For those who have not previously read anything of Lexi's, what you
should know is that she is real PC, PC, PC breakfast, Lunch and Dinner !
Unfortunately she is so PC that she becomes meaningless.
Sorry Lexi, to be so hard on you, but thats what it looks like.

Lexi, we all know that, remember the Push, remember the razor gangs.
I don't believe you have missed the point, I think you are just being difficult.

The offenders could have been Indian, Sri Lanken or aborigine.
The lady may not have been able to decide that.
The police would probably know because they have a very good idea on
what goes on in an area.
