carosio Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 So far I can't find any report that says it was a man that robbed her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sibon Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 If you cant effectively make gun control work in a piddling little province like N.I why lecture us on how to do the same here? Aside from the glaring factual errors in your post, I'd just like to point out that it was you who started the lecturing. Maybe you should stay quiet next time, if you don't like people disagreeing with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikki-red Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 So far I can't find any report that says it was a man that robbed her.

Nagel Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 I have just heard on the news that an 86 year old woman was robbed, on her way home from a casino in Manchester, of her life-savings (£6,000) and of a substantial amount of money (£1,000) which she had won there. Apart from how despicable it is to rob someone who is going uphill to 90, what the hell was the old lass doing:- a) carrying so much dosh around with her, b) wandering around, (apparently) alone at 0235, with such crazy sums of money and c) what 86 year old frequents casinos? (for crying out loud????) Story here:- http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-20831195 Why are you so disapproving and why are you blaming the victim?

Plain Talker Posted December 26, 2012 Author Share Posted December 26, 2012 Why are you so disapproving and why are you blaming the victim? Care to read my comments again? Particularly that bit where I said how despicable it is to rob someone who is going uphill to 90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
