Thai Police Chief Hospitalized After Sexual Assault

Also I found it interesting that the cop didn't want to press charges, because the women had enough problems already. It seems she, and others, lost their jobs, and this was the reason for the protest. Why do so many men refuse to press charges against women? Is it just an extension of the old concept of chivalry?"

Protesters Get A Pass by frank h on Tuesday September 25, @08:46AM EST (#1) (User #141 Info) I know in the US, when protesters are arrested, they are usually let off with little or no penalty. Al Sharpton, et al, during the Vieques protests this past summer are an exception. I don't condone this dismissal of penalties by the courts, but in light of this 'tradition' the police chief may have been motivated other than by the sex of his attacker to be so magnanimous.

Re:Protesters Get A Pass by Nightmist (nightmist@mensactivism.org) on Tuesday September 25, @09:59AM EST (#2) (User #187 Info) I agree with you, frank. Still, all of us males deep down know that an attack against out genitals IS a sexual assault, no matter how Hollywood portrays it. I really wish they'd find that woman and prosecute the hell out of her. She has a right to protest. She has no right to violently and sexually attack someone who is attempting to do his job.

Re:Protesters Get A Pass by Thomas on Tuesday September 25, @03:32PM EST (#3) (User #280 Info) I don't buy it. In this country, PEACEFUL protestors are often let off with little or no penalty. I'd sure like to know where you get the idea that protestors, who violently attack the police, are let off with a slap on the wrist. (I don't mean tossing a stone from a distance; I mean directly, violently attacking the police in a way that causes them severe bodily harm and results in hospitalization.) All the women who commit these violent sexual assaults on the police should be given hard time in a nice Thai prison. The male cops, who let them off, are fools. It's lunacy to make excuses for this.
