She went to the hospital to have her wounds looked at, then to the police station. The police said they would get back to her; they never did.

One of the reasons why I hate my town so much.

the police are absolute crap in this country...
i got mugged once when i was 14 walking down to the newsagents with a friend to get some sweets. this group of 4 15/16yr old guys crossed the road and started following us shouting abuse and throwing stones. we ignored them and carried on, but eventually got caught up and threatened till we gave them the money we had on us, which amounted to about £1.50 all together. then when we were trying to run away i had a bottle thrown at the back of my head which handily smashed and sent glass all down the back of my neck.

when we got to a phone and called the police they pretty much flat out refused to do anything... the woman i was talking to told us to go home and try and avoid going there on our own in future!!!!!

due to this (and a number of other incidences where friends and family have been involved) i have absolutly no sympathy for criminals of any kind. and it really pisses me off when i hear about them being given short sentences when they're robbed and beaten someone up because they've supposedly had "a hard life"...

i should stop there.... this might turn into an unstoppable rant! :rolleyes:
