According to this article, the UK cops arrest two over an assault on a teenager .This teenager describe himself
to be an “emo” in which the article define as being short term for emotive or emotional. This emotion refers
to an introspective style of music between punk and grunge. This hasn’t been
the first incident of hate crime in UK; in fact the police have been keeping a
record of attacks on subculture members. The police force in the UK plans to
treat these attacks on Goth and emo groups in the same way in the same way as
crimes based on race, religion, disability or sexual orientation. The teen was injured
several times in this case and it has reported as an alternative subculture
hate crime. The England prosecutors see this crime as a criminal offense
motivated by hate of others and is determined to take positive action for
offenders.
This article is flawed in the sense that it didn’t provide
any information predicting what the criminals sentencing or repercussions will
be for acting on a hateful crime. No justice being served to the victims’
families and to set an example for the ones that commit these crimes brings other
to suffer from anxiety and sometimes suicidal thoughts.Government officials and
people in society should tackle these problems and take them serious because these
crimes will keep reoccurring taking out innocent people in the world. Reflected
back to a previous lecture, people that label themselves emos or Goths or Jews
should have that radical choice to be the unique individuals they are and live as
they please in society without being hated on.
