I agree. No victim blaming in op. Just a point of view put succinctly and in an articulate manner. Back to FB, taking any Oversensitive social media mentality Grief and PC flagging with you. Hang them on the HDM FB threads rather than here?
What have LE stated LS has been a victim of?
Theres an adversarial point of arguement that could be made showing the only known offence of any named participants on the Evening was one 'Guilty' of this??:::::
In the United Kingdom, there are a number of offences dealing with intoxication, which vary between the constituent countries. In a public place, it is an offence to be: drunk,drunk and disorderly
The police will only get involved if the person is so drunk they are unable to act in a reasonable manner, such as passing out on the street. In that case typically the police will, depending on the circumstances, help the intoxicated person on their way or place the person in a police station cell until sober. Once fit to be dealt with the detained person will normally either be cautioned, be issued with a Penalty Notice for Disorder (PND – £90 fine in ticket form) or bailed to appear at the local court. The court in turn may issue a fine(up to level 1 or level 3 on the standard scaledepending on the offence charged). There are also many more specific offences, including driving a motor vehicle while drunk (or being found 'drunk in charge')[12] and riding a cycle while unfit through drink.[13]Furthermore, the police have the power (although not the obligation) to confiscate any alcohol which is being consumed in public by those under 18, and local authorities have the power to prohibit alcohol consumption in certain areas.
