Lady criminalised for doing RIGHT.

clipped from www.dailymail.co.uk Daughter of WWII pilot convicted of assault after reprimanding teenager who 'vandalised war memorial' She was cleared of punching a 14-year-old in the stomach during the fracas. Sentencing Mrs Lake to a 12-month conditional discharge, District judge David Parsons said she had shown a 'complete lack of self-control'. 'You confronted the child with no plan in mind. The throwing of a bike into the road shows a complete loss of self-control, not the actions of someone executing a citizen's arrest.'

The day after the announcement of a 17th youth has died of stab wounds, a British Court has decided that it is wrong to defend the memory and memorabilia of our past heroes, and present ones.
It is right, I believe, to take appropriate action to maintain a modicum of respectability. If the article is correct then this lady showed true courage, true appreciation and is worthy of commendation not criminalisation. Had Garry Newlove survived the attack on his property, and I do not mean the attack that took his life, would he have been charged with affray? Under this regime, most certainly yes.
If that drug smoking Home Secretary had an ounce of integrity, she would be knocking on Julie Lakes door and handing her a pardon in person.
