Boy in court for throwing cocktail sausage

Boy in court for throwing cocktail sausage : "“But is it in the public interest to prosecute a 12-year-old boy who threw a sausage?”"

The man was seventy four. They boy is 12 and has three reprimands which have obviously been ignored. One cocktail sausage might seem silly and for it to go this far is silly but the truth is being avoided. No one should go out and expect to have anything thrown at them. I don't go out so kids can chuck stuff at me. If we think this is not a problem then we need to think again. If it's okay for one boy, then it's okay for others so in any one day that seventy four year old man might have many things thrown at him and no one considers it a problem. What has that man done wrong that he should be ridiculed? It ought not to be acceptable that kids throw things at people. It ought not to be acceptable than anyone throws something at someone as they are out on the street. So who is responsible for social behaviour? Who teaches a child how to respect other people? If the child blatantly refused to comply with police reprimands what does that say? It is serious. Might sound funny out of context, but it's serious because it has gone too far.
