Pete Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Vicki told me an interesting one last night. Her work colleague and fella were driving near Stafford when they came across three cars ahead of them. They promptly formed a formation three a breadth and slowed down not allowing them to pass. They weren't going to be stopped by them, so pulled into a side street which these cars then turned around and followed them down. After this it all became more erratic with them over taking, trying to force them to stop, following up other roads which they were taking to try and shake them off, but they kept coming. She rang the police who said to try and make it to the nearest station and don't stop. Apparently it's happened before but not for a while. Needless to say that is easier said than done. Eventually they had to stop or hit them and two guys got out the car shouting "I'm gonna kill you" and trying to get into the car. At this point they had an opportunity to drive off in a panic and lose them. What kind of a f*cked up society do we live in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Hang about! What have the Labour govt. got to do with three nutters? I don't remember the tree-abreast nutter bill going through Parliament. People like this existed long before now and will exist for long after. You may as well blame it on Gangsta rap for all the good it will do.

I didn't realise you were such a devoted follower of the Labour party, I'm sorry if I caused you any grief with my slanderous comment. It does explain a few things though Gangsta rap is always to blame - maybe I fancied some variation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just making the point that blaming them is pointless. That type of behaviour isn't taught, it's learned. We need to find out why these people act like that and attack the source.

Pete Posted February 1, 2008 Author Share Posted February 1, 2008 Should have turned round and f*'d off the other way. They tried that. I don't think they were too worried about sticking to their original planned route, just getting away from these freaks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 We need to find out why these people act like that and attack the source. Maybe it's: a) we can't stop them b) the police can't stop them c) if we try and stop them we are sent down forever d) if the police stop them they get a slap on the wrist and sue for compensation e) they know all this Of course, some people on here would rather die smiling then be able to defend themselves against a gang of nutters so I guess that doesn't help much. -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted February 1, 2008 Author Share Posted February 1, 2008 We need to find out why these people act like that and attack the source. Lack of respect for the law and their peers from the namby pamby way we treat miscreants from a tender age through to apprehended criminals. I blame lawyers. Those people who have facilitated the suing of police officers for doing their jobs, school teachers for teaching respect, parents from teaching at a young age what is no acceptable behaviour, the average Joe for protecting their own property. All people who have their hands tied leading to poor teachings of self respect, respect of others and generally being a good human being. Everyone is now too afraid to do anything about the problems faced from the scourge of society for fear of the recompense. You don't get this kind of attitude in Greece. People out there enjoy each others company, they help each other, they are taught early on that bad behaviour is not accepted. Everyone here is always so angry and miserable all the time, it's making this country a right hole to live in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed - although I think that dumbing down the school system in typical Labour style will effect more of these types to create similar situations. Fair enough blaming the government isn't going to solve the issue, but they are the only organisation with the power to make changes and I'm finding it harder and harder to have faith in their ability to do so. Just because there isn't a better party to vote for doesn't mean we can't emphasise the shortcomings of the present one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Walker Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Everyone here is always so angry and miserable all the time, it's making this country a right hole to live in. I blame the weather and location of the country for that though. If we were several hundred miles south, enjoying 300+ days a year sunshine, warm sandy beaches etc we'd all be a lot happier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaveriK Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Would we have had these troubles if the iron lady was still in charge, i seriously doubt it. And i can never understand how someone who choses to break the law can then be defended/protected by it, that is just madness! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Very weird saying that) The difference is (rightly or wrongly) in South Africa people are armed, and people are aware of this, so you don't play silly buggers.

Animal Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 This country has been influenced by the namby pamby do-gooder xtian brigade for far too long. Parents nowadays aren't allowed to discipline their children and tbh, I don't think half of them would know how to anyway having grown up themselves without any form of order. Teachers need to be given back the ability to control their classes, criminals should be treated as such and their victims need to feel that justice is on their side. This country is heading towards a serious upheaval, as I really don't think this sh*t can go on for much longer. Too many 'average' people are being disillusioned and something has to give. It's probably not going to be pretty either. Separate the ch*rch from the state, abolish the pc human rights bol*locks and make people accept culpability for their actions. I don't necessarily condone capital punishment, but the justice system is a joke and needs both tightening up and seen to be showing a degree of uniformity in sentencing. Vote for me - I'd be a mean b@stard, but you'd know where you stand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
