Thug violence

London thugs knocked over a legal observer watching events at a rally for Palestine, leaving her unconscious and bleeding. There were 30 thugs in the group, and none of them attended to her injuries.

This was not the only recent instance of violence by thugs toward legal observers.

I can see why thugs might feel hostility towards legal observers, feeling that the observers' mission is to observe and report wrongdoing by thugs. But that is no excuse for violence against them.

It should not be difficult for the department to determine from the video which thugs did what. Then we will see whether the department is sincere in saying that these actions are unacceptable.
