laurence82 SG from that hwa chong thread here's something to think abt imagine if ferret or rhonda commits a crime, and i perform my citizen duty by preventing them from running off or catching them, and they turn around in court and said that was molestation, does that make sense?
choco B SG Seriously doubt it. That Darkness99 guy who suggested molestation charge is thinking with his heart, not his head. I notice in any debate he always take a soft stance protecting students or youths (probably cos he's one too )
av98m SG because the banana is a bad guy but putting himself as a good guy in his example so he needs to use good people as villians in his example
Rhonda SG Should've started this discussion in a new thread, Lau! One of my nursing colleagues in Melbourne used to be a Police Officer and she related to me how pissed she got with women who'd turn up in the Police Station accusing their dates / spouses of rape or molestation and they were obviously using it as some sort of threat to the men. She said it got so rampant that she had this uncontrollable urge to scream at the women to stop abusing the law and wasting police resources. I think too often, the criminal paints a picture of him/herself as a victim of his/her circumstances in life yada-yada, hoping to get away scot-free or get a lesser sentence. No matter what, a crime had been committed and the chase ensued because a good Samaritan wanted to help catch the criminals and in a tussle / struggle, of course there'll be bodily contact. So, in order to appear fair, I'm sure the authorities will investigate the matter to see if it's really a valid charge or if it was just an unintentional placement of hands over certain body parts because the criminal was struggling to escape and it was somehow inadvertent. Molestation charge or not, it should not over-ride the original charge and they definitely have to look at the context.
the Bear SG should use the words we use a lot.. the cop looks at the person and states: the guy can't rape the willing...
honeymouse SG Hello missy Rhonda *hug* hee hee... have had a very busy day so only managed to come in for a few min and leave. Anyway, I am home now. How's your day and how was your overall trip to Perth? Are you feeling better now?
