Renee, you need to recognise that England generally is of a very low moral character. Anti-social behaviour is widespread and goes unchallenged regardless of the circumstances and who is involved. It does not matter very much whether you are disabled / abled, young, old, white or black etc. There is no need to complicate matters for the sake of it. What you might like to ask for is the resignation of police officers who had dealings with the case. That is the only meaningful thing they can do now. You could go on to recommend a boycotting of tax, or perhaps remark on how welfare leads to a degraded underclass (just as Tocqueville described and predicted would get very much worse). Do not use the particulars of the victims to suit your own ends. You are expressing your sympathies in bad faith.
