An abuse of free speech and of Facebook?

How long will it be before the first pediatrician's home in this area is attacked?

SR do you mean paediatrician, that happened once before as i recall, when the idiots couldn't tell the difference.

I cannot find the link, but you are way behind the times in NI. This happened to a lady paediatrician in Portsmouth a few years back

[mike11111]

Or was it Plymouth? Difficult to tell...

I assumed that's what sandy is alluding to, em

Not quite urban myth, but not far off: http://news.bbc.co.uk.../magazine/4719364.stm

mark's a quicker googler than me.

I meant a doctor who tends children. If I can't get it right, and I think myself a half educated chap, the child doctors in the area which this Facebook page covers will need to keep their eyes peeled.

well, not an urban myth at all, then: a paediatrician really did find "Paedo" sprayed on her door and ended up moving.

[emmie]

i think there have been other reported cases.

Which, much as it is tempting, the mob must never be allowed to dispense justice.

[emmie]

agreed, but how do you do that in the age of instant information, or instant misinformation.

[Duncer]

By making a stringent example of any misguided mob that attacks a paediatricians house for example.

My abiding memory of the cinematographic footage of the scenes to which we are alluding is that of a load of fat ugly lasses swigging from cans of Special Brew, at the same time telling the reporter just what they would do to this paedo if they ever laid hands on her. I almost gave up believing in the intrinsic value of public executions.

"a load of fat ugly lasses swigging from cans of Special Brew"

T'was the same up here when the well known matriarch of a crime family in the Stirling area, (well, Stirling to be exact), set herself up as the moral arbiter for the area, dispensing justice before being returned to jail herself. It is a great big ego trip for these so-called denizens of society.

You couldn't make this up. One of the men mentioned on this Facebook site as a convicted pedophile has contacted its owner(he claims) to clarify his status. Apparently, he's not a convicted pedophile but a convicted rapist.
That's all right, then.
