. Mind you looking at the sports journalists we have in this country I'd say it's a good indication of the size of our population and gene pool.
It could be worse, we could have Stephen Jones and the Lewis Hamilton Blowjob Brigade.

$100K to snap my spine repeatedly?
um... isn't that just a bit emotive.....?
Perhaps you can offer us a nice, even-handed way of describing someone kicking the shit out of a prone person until the bones in their spinal column shatter?

- The money was for the "loss of income and distress". Excuse me but several broken bones resulting from a vicious assault and a subsequent breakdown qualify as a bit more than distress.
Quite.
If you offered me $100K not to complain about belting me in the face, I might consider it a painful way to pay down the ol' mortgage.
$100K to snap my spine repeatedly? No thanks. Anyone who thinks this is overblown, well, put your hands up. Would you take $100K to have your back broken in four places?

I think the media needs to take a good hard look at itself
The media generally publishes what it thinks will sell. People got all upset about celebrity gossip and photography when Princess Di died, but I didn't notice any of the magazines publishing that crap going out of business.
no wonder the woman who was allegedly pack raped by the English rugby team didn't make a formal complaint - they knew what would happen.
You need only look at PA to find examples of people chewing her out for failing to do so. It's hardly "all the medias fault."

Um... is there any difference at all between the historic & current ussage of the term "lynch mob"?
Danielle's using it in a specific fashion. "Lynch mob" is a far broader context than the subset of lynch mobs killing black Americans.

Reasonable fear of assault isn't a mitigating circumstance, it's a defence.
I pleasd use of common English, not legalese, in my response.
-
What possible mitigating circumstance could there be for knocking someone to the ground and kicking them until their back broke?
For knocking someone to the ground? Assault, a reasonable fear thereof, give me a while and I can come up with some more.
Kicking them until their back breaks? That's a little more challenging.

How does that conversation go, anyway?
Here's some money. Shut up or I'll give you another hiding?

She chose not to, and I think we should respect her choice.
What, like the way when a Mongrel Mob member beats the shit out of someone, we shouldn't be at all concerned about the victim "deciding not to complain to the police"?
-
The police are already making excuses about how hard it would be to investigate without a complainant. Well tough, that is their job.
Feel free to offer your psychic services to the police. I'm sure they'd love to have someone on the force who can tell them when crimes are committed under circumstances where the whole business has no wintnesses and is covered up.
