I wonder if her assailants were “disaffected youths” or whatever today’s euphemism is for islamofascist thugs.

Heartwrenching.

My mom turns 80 in 1 month. It hurts to think this could have been her, and that people would have just walked by.

“An 81-year-old British woman died after passers-by ignored her because they thought she was drunk.”

Apparently, the Brits think it’s OK to leave an 80 year old drunk lady laying in the street on a winter day.

Odds are she wasn’t a high value target, just an easy one.

Are 81 year old drunk women a common occurance in Britian?

*sigh* One of the MANY reasons we moved back to the US. Sad. Just sad. Prayers for her daughter. I hope they find the yobbo who did it.

This mindset is a resentment of the elderly for draining the state due to socialized medicine. The elderly is not respected. In France, 14,000 elderly died in a heatwave and had to be buried in mass graves because their family did not claim their bodies.

"When Mrs. Morgan was attacked she fell to the ground, and we believe she was on the pavement for about 10 minutes before anyone came to her aid," Detective Chief Inspector Jessica Wadsworth told the Daily Mail.

"Police arrived within the hour," Detective Chief Inspector Jessica added. /sarcasm

No on aided her during the attack I assume?

It sounds like one guy was a jerk and ignored her, and then within ten minutes somebody came along and helper her out.

Passerby #1 was scum, and obviously the thugs who hurt her were worse, but I don't think it's an indictment of the whole bloody culture.

Are drunks laying on the sidewalk or street common in Britain?

When I read the thread headline I said to myself, it must be in Britain.........I was right.

The origin of these types of stories is getting more predictable every day....
