Really? I had always considered the human female the more rational and peaceful of the two sexes. I guess I might have been wrong.The police who I know all say the same thing; the most vicious group to deal with is a gang of young women.

Not sure about acute care hospitals, but nursing homes are another place where people can abuse others, staff and other patients, without consequence. The state will blame the facility for any injuries to patients. Staff they don't care about.Welcome to the real world, where emergency services people are fair game for the violent segment of society. Some of the 1400 Toronto Paramedics have bought their own protective body armor vests as a way to try to protect themselves against injury. Just about any article can be a weapon if you stop and think about it. In my day, the only protection we had was our own common sense . JIM.
Oh goodness you only have to watch a few Cop youtube videos, even young women on their own, are not afraid to spit and punch, even kick the officers... and then theiy're screaming their heads off when they get tased and threatening to sue....they just simply have no respect , in the same way we did growing upThe police who I know all say the same thing; the most vicious group to deal with is a gang of young women.
the only time we went to war in my lifetime was the only time we were governed by a female Prime MinisterReally? I had always considered the human female the more rational and peaceful of the two sexes. I guess I might have been wrong.
The Film Cape Fear is based on what happened between a client and an attorney when the attorney refused to defend his client because he knew that his client was guilty.I believe it. I don't know anything really about the law but I believe you can tell your attorney you are lying or you are guilty because of the attorney/client privilege.
A very recent murder case here in Toronto involved the swarming and stabbing of a 56 year old homeless man by 7 teenage girls. The youngest 3 were 13 years old, 3 were 15, and one was 17. All of them were arrested, charged with second degree murder and will be tried in Youth Court here in Toronto at the court at 311 Jarvis Street.Really? I had always considered the human female the more rational and peaceful of the two sexes. I guess I might have been wrong.
same here..not where I live but in England last month an 80 year old man , very popular in his community.. took his dog for a walk in the park literally right outside his front door, in the middle of the day. In just a few minutes he'd been stabbed to death by a group of 12-14 year olds... 3 of them girls....just shocking !A very recent murder case here in Toronto involved the swarming and stabbing of a 56 year old homeless man by 7 teenage girls.

After being held in secure custody for over a year, their trials are ongoing. Some of them have pled guilty, while others have pled not guilty. The ones who pled guilty were given 4 years of restricted community release. The ones who have pled not guilty will be tried by Judge alone, as trials in Canada of youths under the age of 17 do not have juries. Under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, any custodial sentence will end when the convicted person reaches the age of majority which is 19. Their criminal record will be sealed at age 19, and they can truthfully say " I have no criminal record in Canada, if asked. That needs to be changed, in my opinion.
My point? This was an unprovoked, vicious attack on a drunk man, by 7 teen age girls. At least 3 of them were armed with knives, and the man's throat was cut , causing him to bleed to death before Paramedics could get to him. This happened at around 2 am on a week night, in downtown Toronto in the summer time.
The Toronto Police homicide unit was able to identify one of the girls ( who had a very distinctive hair style ) on a CCTV video from earlier that night at a local corner store, where she bought drinks for the group, using a debit card. That debit card was tracked back to her home address in the suburbs. The TPS computer crimes unit was able to tap into the group's messages, where the girls talked about the killing the night before, at great length . Those messages, plus CCTV camera videos were the major evidence for the Crown at trial. Their own words/messages were used to convict them at trial.
So yes, females can be just as violent as males. JIM.

Yes, I am aware that females certainly can be violent both based on personal experience, and by what I read about in history. After all, historically, we have Joan of Arc, Boadicea, and a host of other warrior queens as well as female warriors among the Celts who were females and who participated in their battles.
However, statistics don't support the concept that females and males are equally disposed to violence. Please consider the following statistical data.
Statistics
The issue: Research over time has consistently shown that men are more likely to commit crime than women. As of February 2017, 93.3 percent of federal inmates were men, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons. A 2015 report from the U.S. Department of Justice suggests the vast majority of state prisoners also are men.
Crime and gender: A partial explanation for why men commit more crime
Across Australia, only about 8% of prisoners are women. While prison population figures provide only a very rough guide to criminal behavior, we can safely assert that men perpetrate the vast majority of criminal conduct, and certainly violent conduct.
In summary, men disproportionately exhibit far more anti-social behavior than women. When it comes to sexual crimes, men are far more likely to commit them, and women are far more likely to be the victims. The easy cultural dismissal that “boys will be boys” simply doesn’t stand up to scrutiny and is actively doing damage.
Men are more likely to commit violent crimes. Why is this so and how do we change it?
Also, yes, I am aware of the sociological cultural influences that can powerfully determine a propensity towards aggressive behavior. So no, I am definitely not totally attributing this social phenomenon totally to a biological factor.
Well, that is extremely likely. You see, there was hatred towards us because we lived in a formerly predominantly Italian neighborhood area that had once been called Eighth Avenue, but which had been callously demolished in order to make room for Columbus Homes Housing Projects. The Italians had understandably fought legally and furiously to avoid the demolition. But the government had prevailed.Racism ?..against whom ?... you ?
They looked as if they were scared of her.One woman fighting 4 cops and 2 tasers....
Maybe my idea about women being far more rational and peaceful was derived from the old Wild West films in which the cowboys were almost always depicted as the rowdy troublemakers, while the ladies were usually the ones calmly trying to hold up civilization.A very recent murder case here in Toronto involved the swarming and stabbing of a 56 year old homeless man by 7 teenage girls.

Sometimes it doesn't pay to get involved. But you did the right thing. IMHO.I have been attacked by human females, but I rarely resisted.
I guess there was this one time a girl tried to cut me with a kitchen knife because I punched her sister's boyfriend.
He punched her, I punched him, I took her home, psycho sister was mad at me, not him.
Go figure women.
Never considered her crazed. But now that you mention, it, that was definitely an extreme overreaction to having a little water splashed on her and even to having an arm placed around her waist. All she had to do was back away from me. That would have been enough.@Radrook She was crazed. Wonder what she did to her husband or kids if she ever had either. She sounds like someone who would end up on Investigation Discovery Deadly Women.
My former wife abused my youngest daughter until my mother taught her to dial 911 and tell the police. That put a full stop to it.I'm about to cry reading this. I'm so sorry for what you endured.
I thik half the toruble is that the police are terrified of what they might get accused of.. she looked like a lunatic, she could have been capable of anything, she could have died, and they would have been charged with her death potentially... she could have killed one of them...They looked as if they were scared of her.
That is a happy outcome which is good. Unfortunately, in my case, it was not. I once tried to surprise this elderly woman neighbor who knocked on my door by suddenly appearing with a scowling face accompanied by fierce grunt.When I was about 13 or so, I thought it would be funny to jump out of a doorway and scare my mom.
I jumped out and she slugged me in the face before either of us knew what was happening.
She reacted out of instinct, thought she was being attacked I guess, but I never did that again.
When she calmed down, we had a good laugh, and when Dad asked what happened to my face, he had a good laugh too.
I think he was secretly kind of proud of my mom for her ability to defend herself.
The only time I can remember Mom hitting me, and it's one of my best memories.
I once saw this video on YouTube where this elderly patient was chasing and beating hospital staff members with what looked like a stick, I wondered what could have driven him to do it. Later, when I became familiar with the abuse which patients are subjected to at such places, I understood.Not sure about acute care hospitals, but nursing homes are another place where people can abuse others, staff and other patients, without consequence. The state will blame the facility for any injuries to patients. Staff they don't care about.
Someone told me once that during an interview for an incident with the state, the state employee garbage made a pointed remark to the nurse that anytime you are hit on the job, it's not abuse. I won't even tell you what my fantasy is if I'm ever in a nursing home and the state is in.
There is not rampant abuse going on in nursing homes. Yes, there are instances. And they are horrible beyond explanation.I once saw this video on YouTube where this elderly patient was chasing and beating hospital staff members with what looked like a stick, I wondered what could have driven him to do it.

There is neglect of staffing. Staff that don't care and too high patient ratios. All of which the government will not regulate better because these places are corporate owned and corporations have all the power it seems. And if staff sees something, there is no place to go. The state is not the place to go. They are their own kind of evil.
Rare jobs allow abuse of employees but in long term care it happens.
