Further to this:

"Ebrahimi,s sister, Manizhah Moores, claimed he had long been subjected to abuse because of his race and his disability."

"Ebrahimi was called a paedophile after taking photographs of youngsters he suspected of vandalising hanging baskets at his home in Capgrave Crescent – and images of parents drinking in front of children, a practice he strongly disapproved of."

"Kerry McCarthy, the Bristol East MP, said issues that needed to be addressed included why the police did not make it clear that Ebrahimi was blameless after he was arrested and why he was left on an estate where he appeared not to be welcome."

Seems to me to be two hate crimes for the price of one.

I have never understood why people get upset at disabilities. When I heard of it first time after moving to England, I thought it was some sensationalistic journalist trying to stir up things - did not believe a word of it. But it is true, and I am baffled. Aren't disabled people the least threatening of all - I mean, what can they do to you??

Our dear beloved prime minister is trying a divide and rule policy with his cutting everything (except the rich, which got tax deductions) and he claims that disabled people are just faking it (whether blind or without legs), sick people faking it (even with terminal cancer), unemployed lazy (thought everyone know there are no jobs) and so on..

But apart from such perversity, what do people have against those with an extra problem?

As for pedophiles, or suspected pedophiles, why is there so much mob mentality about it? I mean, we all know it exists. We all know it must be dealt with. We all want children to be protected - against anything that might harm them.

But no problem, whatever it might be, is served by 'moral panic' or hysteria. For some reason this particular problem makes some people think it is ok to murder or harass other people, on the flimsiest of excuse.

Children are not helped if they fall, no one dare touch them. Men have given up working in day care centers, it is too dangerous for them, and I am only waiting for school teachers to get caught up in the same problem. Is this in the children's interest? Children need male role models as well as female.

A man cannot take a picture at the beach without being chased away, and he must be very careful where he sits and where he looks, because if the is a child in front of the bird he is looking at, he might be harassed. In the case we are talking about, Bijan Ebrahimi was taking pictures of children he suspected of vandalizing the plants. Now, if we want to prove who is vandalizing our neighbor's garden and throwing stuff on our windows now and then, it'll better be me doing it, and even that is not safe.

The whole thing has gotten over board. People think all pedophiles are potential or actual murderers, and the p's who are trying to keep themselves in check by support groups are often arrested by the police, but not everyone can afford a psychologist.

No one, but NO ONE, wants anything to happen to children. But the present climate is not protecting them, and is causing a whole range of problems, and even then the real cases are not found..
