Re: Disgusting

can i just say, its nothing new really is it? when i was a kid i was set upon by 3 girls, nothing much was ever done about it by the police, all they did was tell the girls off, this has now become a 'disgusting' event because it can now been filmed, what was a scuffle 25 years ago has now become big news thanx to the press and social media (oh and political correctness)

i am in now way condoning what has happened

its just that we have a different approach to things nowadays


and Accringtonnewbie..... it happened to me in Accrington

Re: Disgusting

You are right Flashy when you say this type of thing has always gone on......I think the disturbing element is that it was filmed and posted to a social media site.
Like it is something to be proud of.

Acceptance of such situations means that they become the 'norm'......which can never be good.
Feral behaviour is feral behaviour...no matter when, or where it occurs.

Re: Disgusting

I think even 25 years ago, most people would have found what that girl did to be disgusting. Just for anyone who hasn`t seen it - A young girl walking through town minding her own business is dragged to the floor by her her, repeatedly kicked and punched in the face, someone steps in and splits them up. She then goes up to the girl and punched her in the face again.
I for one hope they throw the book at the chavy scrubber.

Re: Disgusting

I think we have fallen into the trap that was set by the media......we use sensationalistic words for very bad behaviour.

Society continues the downward slide because people do not step up to the mark and proclaim that this is unacceptable(and this does not include the posters on here - because we are clearly all of a similar opinion).
People accept bad behaviour and bad language in public by saying that it is 'how it is nowadays'.
Even our MP has excused himself after using gutter language by saying that it is the vernacular of now.

Parents cannot be with their children all of the time, but if you start out by teaching children firstly to respect themselves, secondly to respect others and teaching them good manners then that goes a long way.
Peer pressure?
Well yes, some adolescents seem to need the acceptance of those who they go around with...and will commit such acts to gain acceptance.
Is that what we want of our children?
If I had done something like this, my parents would have wiped the floor with me.
It all starts in the home.

Nope I think folk have fallen into the trap set by the thread starter.
Since coming to our town/area not had a good thing to say about it. Always coming up with bad examples. I'm beginning to wonder why his/her parole officer sent him/her here?
After all, who moves into a town they've never been to, know nothing about and keep dragging up the bad bits we already know about?
He/she obviously isn't happy here, maybe he/she should ask for a transfer somewhere more appropriate ?
What had he/she done to deserve having to live in these surroundings?

Less, if it hadn't happened then it would not have been commented on, and it happened in Blackburn, rather than Accrington.

Re: Disgusting

It shouldn`t happen anywhere, and for all we know she could be from Accrington.

Re: Disgusting

You are right, she could be from anywhere and it just is not acceptable where ever it happens. Feral behaviour from feral people, who think that notoriety, however it is achieved is of value.
No respect, either for self or for others.

Re: Disgusting

i wish someone had filmed my then 8 year old getting punched in the face launching him from his bike then been kicked repeatedly by a 30 plus year old african male

these things did happen long before social media and smart phones but what is better about it these days is that with so many cameras about evidence can be gathered and used as is the case here.

Yes evidence can be gathered, but what is the betting that nothing much is done and the perpetrators get off with it and get hero worshipped by those who value this feral behaviour?
Adolescents are getting the wrong messages...and these come from adults who do not step up to the plate and monitor and discipline them in the way that they should.

From what I`ve heard tonight, that is likely to be the case I`m afraid.

Don't tell me that you are surprised!
Evidence is useless unless it is going to be used against the perpetrators.
