RSPCA to charge Zouma brothers

Thank you Joseann. You have got it exactly right. I have a negative interst in sport and the sport I am actively least interested in is football. Likewise my taste in music is classical and while I would recognise the names of people like Taylor Swift or Beyonce, who get their names in the news section of news media, beyond that I am frankly totally ignorant.

When you hear of the sort of behaviour quoted in the OP making the news, I most associate it with certain professions where young men of all origins have too much money too young and are often before the courts, or making public apologies for unacceptable behaviour.

It never occurred to me that anyone today would automatically assume that I was specifically linking people of specific ethnicities with specific professions. I thought that sort of attitude was left behind in the 20th century.

Could it be that M0nica is saying, by way of explanation, that she has no interest in football or rapping, so wouldn't recognise the name if it bit her on the bottom? Whereas I would know the football/cat/kicker association straightaway and then remember the name Karen Brady who condemned Zouma.

And don’t tell me to shhh either * violetsky*

Violetsky I have never treated Monica with anything but respect so for goodness sake what are you saying !!

I amazed that anyone at all can look at a name and connect them asa footballer or a rapper that’s really not on

Oh shhh

Just no need for it

Tired of seeing Monica spoken too badly across threads

Blimey Monica so those names only connect as footballs or rappers not a doctor or a solicitor,…. just a rapper Wow

West Ham defender, Monica, I can't remember which club the brother played for. It was naturally big news for people in East London at the time.

I just felt that information about the case should be included in the OP.

Now I see the thread is old, I understand why the names met nothing to me, although, reading *ViletSky's post, I do remember the case and the attack, but not the names.

As I do not recognise the names I assume they are footballers or rappers, which would explain why I didn't recognise them.

Attacked his cat, hit and kicked it, was filmed doing so

They way he moved and behaved was not adult

I am glad he has received punishment

This thread is over 2 years old. The case has been dealt with.

M0nica

No idea what this is all about.

Google is a wonderful thing!

No idea what this is all about.

Good. Fining them would have been water off a duck’s back. I hope the community service is very visible and extremely menial.
