But there's no hope for Anne Maguire........is there !!. I cannot countenance the sort of mindset people have, that always seems to grant the offenders / perpetrators the concern they never showed their victims.

Of course things can never be made "right" for the victim.  That's a given.

 

Are you saying we should all think in the same way as the perpetrator?  That because they had no concern for their victims, we should not have compassion for others?  I've never understood people who stand around braying at departing police vehicles holding offenders?  What is going through their minds?  Do they think they are helping anything in any way at all?

I know exactly what's going through their minds; they feel they need to be seen to be angered and disgusted, they feel the need to be seen to conform to what they believe are basic social norms. It is the weak of 'mind' and 'will' who do such because they care about how they appear to others and have a need to be seen to conform.

It is also those at the lower end of the social scale who have found someone they can identify as being beneath them, they are chomping at the bit to be able to show that they are not on the bottom wrung, 'that filth in the van are the true low-life'.

Let's face it, what kind of person chases a van shouting Scum?! (the same mentality as those who attack paediatricians!)
