QPR FAN VIOLENCE

[Bushman]

(QPR Report said:
Got a lot of grief elsewhere for condeming QPR fan violence and doing a "Name and Shame" (if they are shamed). But I'd say it's just as reprehensible coming from QPR fans as anyone else. Now if you adopt the "Well they started it; we're just defending ourselves" approach, that can probably be applied in many instances for many clubs. )

My thoughts:
I do not think there is anything wrong in going down the name and shame route.
I am sure we all know a name or two who are still around now who have caused trouble and damage throughout the years in the name of the Rs home and away.
I do not see why they should be protected like they are heroes or is it that they are still playground bullies and people fear them.

Anybody got any thoughts on this.

If I did know anyone I would not be naming them to authorities.

[QPR Report]

Of course my "name and shame" was merely posting a newspaper article saying four accused QPR fans were going to be in court charged with... And the newspaper gave their names (as it does with all trials/accused - including "The Gun" trial)

So are we saying that it's ok then.

[QPR Report]

The potential, most legitimate counter argument would be these are still innocent until proven guilty, etc.
The interesting question would be how would people respond re me posting a news story naming names if they had been found guilty/admitted guilt. (I never found in the press what the result of the court hearing was)

I posted re Spurs Trust feeling about the posting of alleged Spurs racist chanters by the police

No

[QPR Report]

There was a subsequent story in November or October re the actual court
