Shadow, around my way, when there has been a minor assault, and the assailent(s) is unknown, where there is no injury requiring hospitalization, was Bolt hospitalized, did he require medical attention or any kind? If the answer is no, then the police investigation is commiserate with the crime; statements from the victim and witness's if any. Other investigation would be CCTV, mobile phone pic, video, and in the Bolt case, a review of film taken at the time, to possibly establish what happened and who was the perpetrator. other than that give the victim an event number, and unless there is some new development, such as stolen property recovered, was there any stolen property in the Bolt case? Not much else happens. If there is going to be an arrest, it generally takes place within hours, at the outside a week maybe.Not a couple of years.
Then again you see Bolt as one of your right wing elites, and probably believe 50 detectives have been assigned to the case.

Paul 2,

Forgive me, I'm a bit confused: a sandwich thrown at a left-wing person is assault, but two blokes throwing stuff in someone's face and shaping up to him, is not ?

I suppose we'll see if charges are laid :)

Joe

Damn it all but Paul1405 has a point there. That is obviously why NSW police should and did move quickly and decisively to identify and charge a seventy year old women who said something offensive on a train,

and,

why police in Victoria would discount as not worth investigating, a physical, public street assault by leftists in company on a conservative male disliked by the leftists.

And as Paul1405 helpfully adds, Bolt, as one of the hated 'them' he not only deserved what he got but Bolt did it to himself.

But wait a bit, didn't George Orwell have something to say about that?

What is interesting here is that Paul1405 and other far leftists probably believe much of that.

Hi Joe, I used the words minor assault in the Bolt case, and then went on to critique simply what I believe happens in such minor cases around my way. It may be different in Victoria, it maybe different in the Bolt case, seeing Bolt as a member of the rights privileged elite, maybe his case requires special consideration.

I can only relate what I know of an elderly neighbors assault a few moths back, when she had her bag snatched down at the local shopping strip. The young female police officer took a statement, Mavis's daughter took her to the medical center for a badly bruised arm. The PC called on Mavis a few days later to see if she was okay, and if she could remember anything else, giving her an event number, and saying if anything came up she would let Mavis know, and a number for Mavis to ring if she wanted to know anything herself. Not a word since, the case has gone cold, assuming it was hot to begin with. I suppose Bolt is in the same boat, or is he, maybe there is 50 D's on the Bolt Case. I don't know.

Joe, you are forgiven, no its not assault, if the assailants have been organized by you, and are in your pay, and are doing what you want them to. That is blast you with shaving cream and sprinkle you with glitter. For a price you could probably get the same thing done at a kinky night spot in town, by a woman wearing fish net stockings and not much else.

Poor Leo is totally confused, but that's normal for Leo.

Paul1405,

Your very first post took this tack,

<All that glitters is not gold, Was this a set up by the extreme right to gain publicity? All seems very convenient, TV cameras present, high profile "victim" present, all ready for the "attack". Lights, camera, action, as our intrepid hero fights off the would-be "attackers", A very convenient package to show on the 6 o'clock news.>

And your second, soon after,

<..The injured party, Bolt, has been quick to capitalize on the whole incident, has he not.
Correction: All that glitters is not Bolt!
Over to you.>
