attack on London bus

I though horrible how these young women were treated.
I agree with some of the comments earlier about girl on girl porn being readily available to young teenagers and maybe influencing them.
This week I wanted a picture of a cute kitten for my Facebook page and silly me put “Cute Pussy” into a google images search and up popped a page full of ladies private parts
In the last few days here in Plymouth we have had a group of about 30 youths cycling around swearing and causing mayhem. What is the world coming to?

Oops, just re read my post. It should of course read '...their parents..'

I was horrified to read about this attack, my DD is in a same sex marriage & has never encountered this sort of abuse. I hear that the "thugs" who were arrested have been released. Britain was once a tolerant society or so we were told

The internet I feel has exacerbated this, so many sad and very sick people in our world today.

It’s very concerning,
There seems to be a a resurgence of intolerance to sections of the community.

Absolutely sick!

Sometimes I despair at the world we live in, what the hell is going on, when two young girls get attacked on a bus, because is their sexual orientation? I feel so angry!

Some people really are depraved ! Back to the Victorian days, eh ? Depravity today isn't unlike it was back then !

The men were caught the following day and the youngest was apparently 15 years of age. Did his parents not know he was out and about on night buses or did they not care. Yes I know, I am showing my age. It was an appalling attack but is not confined to "down south".

I agree with absent that the "girl on girl" porn so readily available online is a major factor in these sorts of attacks. I read that the initial arrests stated them as teenagers 15-18 years old.

Absent, I absolutely agree with you about the malign influence of pornography.

Sorry to burst Paddyann's little bubble but I lived in Glasgow for 60 years ( from the age of 3 to 63) and I can assure her that I heard of many such incidents over the years the worst one involved the rape of a young couple, both the young man and his girlfriend were raped. It is certainly not confined to the South. Scotland is not immune to the evil acts of a minority.

A disgusting and unprovoked attack. Almost as if we are heading back to the dark ages. At least, according to paddyann, these awful things don’t happen oop north and presumably in Scotland.

There are more and more people who are unbalanced than is ever reported. These thugs, those who kill/murder are all mentally unbalanced. Normal people don't carry out such acts of violence as it doesn't enter their heads to do so.
To be completely out of control is a sickness.

I hope these thugs get the punishment they deserve------though I won't hold my breath, sadly, as there's no deterrent. Professor David Wilson should have been given a position in the police force. He of the series " Borstal Boys " .

This was an appalling attack on two young women using public transport to get home. What kind of young men are these, one has to wonder. What homes do they come from? Where are there parents?

My thoughts are with those poor young women.

Truly appalling and utterly sick-making. Perhaps when "girl on girl" porn, specifically designed for male viewers (voyeurs), stops being so popular among heterosexual men, this kind of obscene violence will cease.

These poor young women were humiliated, brutalised and robbed. No, we do not yet live in a society where gay people do not have to hide who they are, but when they don't hide who they are, they risk abuse and violence.

Goodness, what on earth is going on up north paddyann? Yes this attack was awful and totally unacceptable, but it isn't confined to London or even "down south" seems Scotland has its own problems.
