Another disgrace

Another old woman beaten half to death by a wicked thug who knew very well that there was little his victim could do to defend herself. A terrible crime and one that Detective Inspector Frank Robbie of Greater Manchester Police can't understand:

I cannot understand how someone could have punched this frail and defenceless woman and then just left her lying on the floor while they stole money from her.

Of course not. But then there is nothing to understand, there is just acceptance. Acceptance of the fact that there are wicked, nasty, evil people in the world who will do anything that they can to satisfy their own selfish desires. The Mrs Jackson's of this world are not frail old ladies that deserve respect and consideration, they are obstacles to be overcome in the pursuit of another’s booty.

The detective, true to form, remarks as follows on the one armed Mrs Jackson's disability:

She lost her left arm in a works accident many years ago so there would have been no way in which she could have defended herself.

No, not in this England. But there is a tool out there that frail old ladies can use, one arm or two, to defend themselves from the human dross that hunts them.

Unfortunately the powerful men and women of this country do not think that frail and infirm people like Mrs. Jackson should be permitted to keep one in their homes for situations exactly like the one she found herself in last Friday afternoon. Alone, unarmed and terrified.
