Bailed after throwing boiling water over someone
Discussion
Bearing in mind the current drive around domestic abuse within policing and the law.
A woman in Nottingham has been bailed after throwing boiling water over a man. The article i will admit doesn’t say they are a couple but they are living in the same house….
If this was a man throwing boiling water over a woman and getting bailed there would be uproar (and rightfully so). Who in the right minds thinks this is a good idea.
I know, I know, the prisons are too full (of people saying hurty words) so let’s bail them rather than remand them, what a crap idea.

Even if the prisons weren't too full of people saying "hurty words" (AKA committing hate crimes or MalComs), the prisons are too full to remand every Domestic Abuse perpetrator (or in this case just a violent offender) anyway.A woman in Nottingham has been bailed after throwing boiling water over a man.

Even if they are remanded by the police, the court can just bail them anyway.
Seems a bit archaic to imprison everyone.

I've sent thousands of tweets, many of them critical of the govt, this one and the last one, and have had no issues at all. I obviously have never sent death threats, never called for a mob to set fire to a hotel full of people, etc. Mainly because I'm not a Tweets however

To be fair, in the 80s my mother once threw a gravy boat full of hot gravy at my sister during Sunday lunch. How hot I don't know, but there was no lasting damage. Being completely self obsessed I had no.idea what it was about, what the final spark was and just carried on eating my lunch without batting and eye lid whilst my mother realising what she'd done attempted to get my sister outside and turn the hose pipe on her.
I mean.they were always at each others throats.

TBH bail is the normal. In a previous job part of my routine was getting the results from Glasgow Sheriff Court and phoning victims to tell them their boyfriend who had assaulted them while on bail had been released on bail again.
Which just goes to show, the only way to 100% safeguard the victim is life imprisonment for the suspect from the moment an allegation is made.Nibbles_bits said:

It laid out the stages in those relationships.
"So we call this stage 'history'. It's a huge red flag. So one of the things that keeps coming up is them, themselves saying"
Male voice #1 "I have this crazy ex"
Male voice #2 "She was a bit of a slut"
Male voice #3 "She used to make me jealous"
"Stage 1, straight away, don't even bother second guessing it, this is your safety that's at risk here, and I'm not saying that somebody who says that is going to kill someone, but they are going to be controlling"
Now, #2 and #3, fine, red flags, but the idea that anyone who says that their ex was crazy is controlling seems to be from a narrative that denies that some awful human beings are women and sometimes a man may actually have a crazy ex.
