Regardless of the previous actions of the people in the car, the people outside acted inappropriately and if I were them I’d be embarrassed watching that tape back.

In my opinion this is an attitude that is ruining society today. People just plodding along minding their own business not helping people in need at all.

As long as I'm alright jack, **** everyone else.

Rubbish, good luck waiting for the police. Shame they didn’t manage to drag the driver out. Have they found the driver yet?

Police won't be interested unless he posts something offensive on social media. Running someone over isn't a crime worth investigating.

Surprised they haven't arrested someone, leaked it to the press and then released them without charges yet

Poor woman had her back broken by these thugs.

This is what I mean about not being too fussed about "the mob". Here we have a mother of a child on Christmas day who has had her back broken because these people not only did not feel like paying for things like the rest of society, but when caught put a stranger's life at risk by escalating the situation. I hope they're made an example of.

Exactly.

Ditto about the BS re: “but they might need to steal food”

No one forced them to hire a car, fraudulently or otherwise, and load it up with food/alcohol.

We’ve got a social security system/safety net in this country and even if you’re a complete **** up and manage to make a hash of that then there are food banks too.

They’re just scum and after endangering lives/running people over then passers by were well within their rights to attack the car/try to stop them.

Thank you. This is exactly what I meant before I was jumped on earlier in this thread.

No one in the system in this country, needs to steal food. There are other, law abiding ways to secure a meal.

100% this. Even though they have quite probably ruined that woman's life, even if caught they will get away with very little punishment.

Totally agree. What really winds me up is the way some people are so sanctimonious about saying they wouldn't interfere. If someone said "I'd be too afraid to try and stop them," I could understand it. But some people act like it's morally wrong to take responsibility upon yourself. As if anyone who doesn't defer all personal agency to Authority is somehow endangering the very fabric of society. Which I suppose to these people, that's how it seems.

I notice that news report doesn't give the sequence of events, which is the most important thing because it makes all the difference between attack and defence.

Frightening, but true in modern Britain, what the hell has happened?

The store was attacked by thieves, and one of their employees left with a broken back. It seems pretty clear?

Only if you ignore the sequence of events or if you think that stealing a small amount deserves a lynching and so the sequence of events doesn't matter.

I must have missed the lynching part. I only heard that two people were injured, including a Tesco employee with a broken back after the store was attacked by thieves in a stolen rental car.

Disgusting to expect other people to use their own funds to help even less fortunate people in this country, the money is wasted inefficiently in comparison to a state doing it. I'll never support food banks as it's not going to solve anything. In fact it's so close to what the right-wingers "hate" that i wonder why they don't rail against it, it's literally making the middle poorer. I guess they only care if it make's people richer than them poorer, as they're only 'temporary' millionaires.

Frankly why should the police report on this further anyway? Some people have a huge hard on for hating them at the moment, when they're in all likelihood dealing with it.

Then perhaps you should wait to make conclusions until after you are better informed. That's generally a good idea.

I'm not sure if you are being serious, trolling, or genuinely don't know what the word 'lynching' means. It means execution, in case it's the latter. Maybe look up the word 'irony' next.

There's trying to help and then there's going full neanderthal and ramming trolleys in to cars and bashing your hands on the windscreen. I don't know how anyone can watch that and not think that they made a bad situation even worse.

If they had got the driver out the car, then what? Are they entitled to bash his head in in the name of street justice? We have the police for a reason, regardless of how ineffective you may think they are.
