What Sort Of People Attack Ambulance Staff, And Why?

[Janus 28]

I have just been reading that ambulance workers in England will be provided with body-worn cameras.

More than 3500 attacks on emergency care staff were recorded last year.

Why would anyone do this? Being drunk is not an excuse to attack  someone.

I've been wondering exactly the same thing. 

What is wrong with people?

Brain-dead zombies?

Aside from actual legit mental illness I cant understand it.

Nor can any thinking person - and tbh I don't think there are that many mentally ill individuals.

I would bet that too much alcohol is the main cause for these stupid actions and for much more anti social behaviour.

Very possible - as I said: brain-dead zombies.

If you know anyone that works at a SEN school for disabled children you would know that school staff get assaulted. These children grow up, not all people are 'normal'.

Quite scary to think that some of those who do this are the parents of tomorrow.

Define "normal"?!   

 

Some people think I'm not "normal" because I'm on the Autism spectrum, total bobbins and that's being extremely kind.

What sort of person would do this?

 

I think they call them inmates, people that belong in prison.
