Havard Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 A wee bit shocked at the moment but a guy who I used to have a pint with after work with my old company was beaten to death by a gang of thugs on Friday night!! http://itn.co.uk/news/9dcb5b76aaa378dadfffa94b03d39987.html After about 6 months of going for a pint, we had a bit of a fall out but we have always had a polite chat when our paths crossed in customers or at exhibitions etc. He was a rep for another company, but I met him when he was a manager at an office I used to work in. He has died as a consequence of my biggest fear. Gangs of kids running around like they own the place and when challenged think nothing of ganging up on you or carrying knives etc. What he did is the kind of thing I would have done..... What a waste!! H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carl0s Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 It's fucking sickening. We're not turning into old codgers, teenagers really are disgustingly violent these days. WTF are you supposed to do? Carry a knuckleduster for fear of being battered or murdered? I thought the law now was that kids aren't allowed to congregate after 7pm or something?

Snooze Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 I thought the law now was that kids aren't allowed to congregate after 7pm or something? Ha - you think the police will actually show up if you report this happening? And when they do, the kids will get shoo'd off for a bit, and just move on somewhere else. You could video them congregating and causing damage. Oh - but some smart-a**e lawyer won't let you submit it as evidence, and you'll probably get done for videoing without prior permission. Blame the b*st*rd lawyers!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tricky-Ricky Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Yeah one of my fears, both for myself getting killed, or doing the same trying to defend myself:( the fact that in any circumstance of being attacked in the street, i would now respond with the maximum force i could muster,as i concider it defending my life:( What a fooking sad way to have to think!

Konrad Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 It is sickening when things like this happen, but I don't believe the UK is any worse for this stuff than it always has been. Where will you go? Anywhere is Europe except maybe France is better if it comes about safety. Of course you still have youth gangs and such, but police in countries like Spain, Tchek republic or Poland is not bothered with lawyers or other hyienas, they just beat shit out of problematic shit walking on the streets and thats it. No paper work, no problem. If you ask me, I would kill in self-defence, youths in England really goes on my nerves, even worst polish scumbags will never try and do you in such open "you can't do a shit" way. They know they can be crippled for live, when trying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No paper work, no problem. It doesn't stop muggings though. My bag was stolen by a gang of boys in Poland. They could very well have stabbed me and left me for dead. I can't understand the mentality of these (gang) people at all. It seems that people have no limits anymore when it comes to violence. Surely beating the crap out of them all really won't help, I have no idea what the solution is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Rob_ Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 I really hope the kids involved get prosecuted for murder, and not let off lightly with a manslaughter charge or similar. They should be made an example of IMO. Absolutely disgusting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
