UK girl held for assaulting elderly Indian.

[Lawliet]

LONDON: A teenaged British girl has been arrested for assualting an 80 year old Sikh man after a video of the incident went viral online.
The elderly victim was punched in the face and shoved to the ground. His turban fell off and the attack left him with a bloodied nose and a black eye, British media reports said.
The 19-year-old girl abused the man and spat on him before walking off. The attack, apparently unprovoked occurred near a bus station in Coventry's Trinity Street at 8.30pm on August 10. Police acted after a video of the incident recorded by a passer-by on a mobile phone went viral online and was shared on Facebook.
The girl was arrested yesterday with police saying she would be questioned about the attack. Police are treating the attack as "serious malicious wounding", which is punishable with up to 5 years in prison. The video of the attack triggered a wave of revulsion after it was circulated on social media.

Here is the video of the attack released on Liveleak, which was first uploaded to yutube.

While the woman's behaviour does indeed despicable, I'm not going to pass judgement on her because no one knows the full details of what went on prior to the filming. One thing I will add is that at least something is being done about it. If this were anywhere else, it would probably go unreported. I would like to know why she felt the need to assault a pensioner in the street in broad daylight, and I can't help think this wouldn't have happened if the woman was on her own.

Can there possibly be any mitigating circumstances that could go anywhere towards justifying this despicable persons actions towards an 80 year old?

I would initially think lock her up and chuck away the key but then reality dawns I/we have to pay for that in out taxes.

The girl is obviously poor white trash.
The vast majority of Sikhs are honourable and peaceful people.

She is certainly trash, and it doesn't matter what your religion or skin colour no one should be subjected to this.

19 vs 80 WTF is the world coming too?

Is it not possible that something ocurred before the point at which we see the incident?

Is it not possible that the man did something to the girl before she hit him?

I'm not trying to defend the girl. I'm just trying to defend the principle of "innocent until proven guilty".

If he did nothing bad to her, then YES! I would be all in favor of putting her in prison for 5 years or whatever.

Violence is never the answer any situation.

Remember this is a 19 year old attacking an 8o year old. It was all recorded so if the 80 year old had just done a diabolical act don't you think others would have stepped it?

No one should be subject to honor killings either (as I learned from VF's You Tube video). Doing some quick Googling, I see that the Sikh's do it just as much as any other in their type of religion (turban wearers). I know what I just said is blindly stupid & racist, but maybe something like that is what fueled this girls fire. ( I think that may be the point Spuddy was trying to make...I know what I'm saying here though, so I don't want to speak for her)

I agree no innocent person should be hurt for what others in there religion do. But some people just haven't fully descended from caveman thinking. And I know for the majority of these people in my assessment may be incorrect, but you can tell these people by one distinctive feature...their turbans!!!! They are the white trash thinkers of the world! Fuckers.

After I watched VF's vid, I was angry to the point of being fucking sick. SICKSICK SICK. Hey, one can't change the thinking of a religion, so for me to get peace from this article, I'm going to pretend that the girl thought the guy was involved with honor killings, and decided to take her rage out on him (although I know technically that thinking is incorrect, I don't care to hear about how I'm wrong on this, so all points to my contrary will be laughed at and ignored!!)

Fuckin turbin headed psychopaths!!!! Maybe he jiped her some chage after selling her something at his 7-eleven live the fuckers that live over here try to do...

Some things you can't unlearn, and I had no idea about honor kilings before, so mabe this shithead was subject to an "honor beatdown" YEEAAAAAAHHHH!!!


ANYONE who associates themselves with a religion or way of thinking that accepts or has honor killings as part of their way of live, has a warped way of thinking. the only people I feel sorry for are the women, since they are probably too afraid to speak out on that part of it, or know they just can't. there i'm sure are men who may me too, but they are the men of that religion (so called kings), so they need to protest this part or get the smacketh down on that punk ass!!!

RAGE!!!!!

In the vid, the girl keeps saying that he touched her, it sounds like. She says it a few times, once saying, I believe, 'Don't touch my fucking tit then!' So that may be some explanation of what happened. Whether it is true or not, I don't know, but if it is, and he groped her, then he deserved to get smacked around some.

Update;

A teenager has appeared in court today accused of attacking an 80-year-old man in a Coventry city centre street.
At Coventry Magistrates Court, Coral Millerchip, aged 19, faced a charge of assault occasioning actual bodily harm.......

She will be in custody until November 25th minimum when she will appear before Crown Court who’s powers of sentencing are far greater than a Magistrates Court. Maximum 5 years jail.

On the face of it looks like this low life will be spending quite some time in jail.
