im guessing the reason they didnt act was because it was an 'idle' threat not a serious one if someone did lay a finger on you so to speak then it would have been more serious

i too have been on the recieving end of racism in various ways although i have never been physically threatened i just procced to my normal life no one can stop me from going somewhere in my own town just because they im wierd or 'diffarent'

actually i had an issue when i went out for a bit just now :rolleyes:
