Here's a good article on Mel Gibson and Roman Polanski

[squeaver]

and Hollywood's generally sexist attitudes

here

and Raoul Moat...

great article - very succinct and gets to the heart of it.

thanks for that link - is nice to see a coherant argument to my rambling thoughts on these matters!

Oh just found another good article in the NS [http://www.newstatesman.com/law-and-reform/2010/07/raoul-moat-police-guns here]].

"Too many women come across men who are mad, bad and exceedingly dangerous to know. The pity of it is that the police went into overdrive only when their own were threatened ?? and then made a melodrama of it."

correct link

The comments following the article you linked to, tabouleh, are disturbing.

great articles.

am very very disturbed by those comments

Two good articles - did very much seem that only when the police were threatened - as opposed to Moat's ex - did they swing into action. Very disturbing comments under the Moat article - disturbing that so many people have signed up to agree to the facebook group.

Very good articles, thanks for the links.
