According to this article posted on BreitBart.com, United Kingdom officials have decided there is not enough evidence to bring charges against Christian Bale for the assault allegations made against him by his mother and sister. In other words, the UK police came to the same conclusion that any rational person came to shortly after the event took place.
While I admit this requires reading between the lines, I think you can conclude that it was a simple over-reaction to a family squabble. I’m sure most people have gotten into pretty heated arguments with parents at one time or another. Or you could also include it was a case of a mother trying to shake down her estranged successful son for cash after years of bitterness. Either way, Christian Bale was not at fault.
I never wanted this blog to be about gossip, but I felt compelled to post this piece of news, because so many news, tabloids, and comic book bloggers were way too quick on the trigger when it came to reporting and commenting on the initial incident, yet hardly any of them are commenting on the resolution. Hell, a few well known comic book bloggers went so far as to scold readers for “blaming the victim” when they suggested it might be a shakedown for money. That’s how one sided and reactionary it was.
Well, now that we know who the real victim is, where are the retractions from these bloggers? Oh that’s right, the truth isn’t sensational enough, nor does it fit their agenda, so it doesn’t warrant a retraction. I forgot we’re talking about the internet.
