I had the oppurtunity to express myself as a goth as a student, and as some one now in my early forties, I deplore this cowardly act. and the level of ignorance shown by the perpatrators. My sympathy and condolances go out to the young womens family and her boy friend.

The fact that we are often pertrayed as the villains, this attack does show that we are atually the victims. I can only hope that the world not just the UK can learn from this event.

My daughter is a goth and although only 13, has dressed that way for the past three years. I am sickened to think that this reason alone could justify such a vicious attack in the minds of ignorant bigots. We live abroad now and at this moment in time, I am glad that we do.

And as a martial artist, I can say it's almost impossible to beat numbers. Especially when you need to keep one eye on your girlfriend throughout the duration of the encounter. Especially given the premeditated nature of the attack. You have my understanding (in a limited amount) and my sympathies.
