yep. She also could have gotten her ass kicked, and I don't think that any witnesses would come forward either.

I would be very interested to see the beginning of the video.

The content of the video in this situation is irrelevant to the issue.

Not really, because she's not breaking the law.

A woman broke down in the dock today as a video allegedly showing her racially abusing fellow passengers on a busy London tram was played out to a courtroom.

Emma West (34), appeared at Croydon Magistrates’ Court charged with a racially aggravated public order offence.

She bowed her head and sobbed as the three magistrates watched the footage, which has now been seen more than 11 million times online.

After the foul-mouthed video was played to the packed court, the court clerk asked Ms West, of New Addington, how she wanted to plead. “Not guilty,” she said.

Wearing a blue blouse and a black cardigan, she wiped tears from her face during the hearing.

For most of the time the video was played, about two minutes and 20 seconds, she was doubled over, out of sight from the public gallery.

Most people don't take public humiliation/being arrested very well.

Is she being charged with good ol' fashioned 'inciting racial hatred'? Ambiguous laws, gotta love 'em.

At first I was totally for punishing the woman in some way for what she said, but now it's become impossible for me to ignore the fact that if it wasn't for phones with video cameras, the internet, and youtube, this incident probably wouldn't even had made a local newspaper's headline, much less resulted in the woman being arrested.

which would be shameful

And if it wasn't for subway stations she might have been walking down the street and wouldn't have had all those people sitting around her. It's technology's fault that this happened!

Britain is nothing now
