Agreed according to his sister he nearly died.
as much as he is a twat he does not deserve that no one does
It's in Heat. It left him deaf in one ear. The same article also says his mother is in a coma after an aneurism. Sounds like he's had to put up with quite a bit in recent years.
we all at some time or other have to deal with tough things life throws at us so i can feel for him in that respectquote:Originally posted by jennywren:

Crikey. He's really been put through the mincer, hasn't he? Poor lad.

yup and I have also been hospitalised TWICE just for the way I looked, not because of my sexuality
(which is what I guessing his was about)
had my skull "dented" with a baseball bat,
jaw broken, it happens, people are swines, oh AND alcohol had a lot to do with it as well,
MY "crime" was being " scruffy" long hair leather jacket, on my own, night clubs kicking out, etc etc, "DECENT" "NORMAL" lads(AND girls) decided I "needed" it apparently
I'm still suffering from swine flu, btw, if there's any forum sympathy floating around. I had THREE strepsils last night. And a paracetemol. 
Im against violence of course BUT is there such a thing as a motiveless attack on Charlie.?

Oh yes, you have to be careful around "decent people" 
There are stories every day about people being attacked for totally inane reasons by "decent people" - because they are gay, black, Asian, Emos, Goths, or in the case of my son, for having a pony tail and being American.
Gotta love the BNP.

I was brought up in a town centre pub in the 80's. I saw loads of people beaten to a pulp because they looked or acted differently. I remember my gay friend Annie getting hospitalised because according to them she was taking wome away from decent blokes. Anything like that makes my blood boil and I nearly got into trouble loads of times for stepping in. I'm sorry that Charlie went through this but it doesn't make me think he's a better person for having suffered.

mine were before the BNP but they were of the same "mindset" WE dont want YOUR sort around here, despite the fact that not ONE of em even knew me, AND that I would NEVER do that to THEM,
but my "incidents" I blame squarley on the good old British media, see back in the 70s and 80s if you wore a leather jacket and rode a motorbike then you were a thug and therefore "fair game" for "decent" people,
a copper even said to me, "I must say its a "nice" change to see one of "your lot" getting it for once"

OHG I spent many of my Durham years drinking in the Angel in Durham, and saw loads of that rubbish going on, going in to other bars in Durham and getting 'crap' from the miami vice set.
Two mates got arrested and beaten by police because one of them had stubbed a ciggie out on the pavement, they disputed it and won the court case.

Unless you or someone you love has been through that, people just don't get it. A couple of years ago, there was a young man, Anthony Walker who happened to be black, was beaten to death by some "decent people" because he DARED to have a white girlfriend.
It's ironic isn't it, that America has always been perceived to be such a racist country has elected a black man as President and here in Britain, we elect a BNP MEP to the EU?

oh the "tales I could tell, dunno if its cause I am older now and dont frequent such places as often now, but it doesnt seem as bad as it once was,
one tale though, once on a night out in Stoke my self and about 5 mates walked around a corner to find a bunch of "heroes" kicking 7 bells out of a guy AND HIS GIRLFRIEND, cause they were "bikers" seems they werent SO brave when the odds were the other way around

I don't think that charlie should have had to go through that, but in some ways knowing this makes his behaviour towards Freddie even worse. If he knows what it's like to be treated badly just because he is 'different' why does he go and do the same thing to someone else?
He may have dissed a stir fry!

Meanie.
Can I just reassure people that the UK person who has just been reported on the news as dying from swine flu isn't me. I'm probably on my last legs, especially after doing a 12 hour night shift last night, but I'm struggling on.

What is it? I just don't get it, I really don't. What is this obsession with "decent people" having a go at someone who doesn't fit into their narrowminded, bigoted box? The target now seems to be the emo/goth people. That really gets to me, most of that group are trying to save the planet and are being beaten (sometimes to death) because they dress in all black?
Are they criminals? No. Are they hurting others? No. They might not be paying members of the BNP, but they sure as hell act as though they are.

beggars belief really
remember that story of that goth guy who got beaten by a group of chavs? his girlfriend went to help him and they started beating her up...and ended up killing her?
had me in tears for ages that did
all because they were goths

Yep. He was in a coma for ages and missed his girlfriend's funeral. It happens way too often.
I really, really don't understand where all this hatred comes from. If Joe Blow down the street wants to worship the full moon, what business is it of mine? He's not hurting me, my family or others, so what's the problem?
It's a sad fact of humanity that this sort of thing has been going on since time immemorial. Gang mentality, yob culture, ignorance, bigotry, the fear of the unknown...I doubt people will ever be able to stop these things. Sad and sickening as they are.
This sounds like Britains got Talent
