I read this yesterday and though I will have a look at the video - I actually felt physically sick after watching it. The world seems to becoming madder by the second, maybe it is the darkness over here and I can´t wear my rose coloured glasses, but still.....

A British woman has broken down in the dock as a video allegedly showing her racially abusing fellow passengers on a busy tram was played out to a courtroom.
Emma West, 34, appeared at Croydon Magistrates' Court on Tuesday charged with a racially aggravated public order offence.
She bowed her head and sobbed as the three magistrates watched the footage, which has now been seen more than 11 million times online.

After the foul-mouthed video was played to the packed court, the court clerk asked West how she wanted to plead.
"Not guilty," she said.
Wearing a blue blouse and a black cardigan, she wiped tears from her face during the hearing.
For most of the time the video was played, about two minutes and 20 seconds, she was doubled over, out of sight from the public gallery.
Friends and family gathered to give her support.
She was remanded in custody.
West was arrested last Monday after the footage was posted on YouTube and was remanded in custody at Croydon Magistrates' Court last Tuesday.

warning might mess up your day......
Of course the reverse racial abuse could happen and I would still be feeling the same disgust - The thing that really got under my skin was the innocent kid sitting on her knee......
I also read the other day that black Sunday sales in the US to kick off Christmas shopping someone got stabbed over a gift.......
Anyways I guess I should take my bleeding Liberal heart and be off.
Maybe I will make the effort to do unexpected nice things to folks to keep the Newtonian laws .
To every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
here is the equal and opposite reaction..... Hope he is right.
