funny cyfr, most of the people i know who went to prison, never went back, but got married, got a job and have worked ever since,granted a couple never did,but that is not most!! very enlightening are the views of people that aint been around the block a few times.

No, it's not just immigrants. The big problem, no matter what the ethnic background, is drug use.

Case in point, in my local paper this week; a 14 year old boy from a "respectable" family robbed his neighbours. I court he said he needed money for his drug habit - "Weed and Es and stuff", he was reported as saying. We've also had a lot of muggings of elderly ladies in Warrington and they are all reported to be done by white men.

Actually my views are based on real people, perhaps i've been unfortunate, or maybe you have been fortunate, I don't know, but im not just making this view on statistics without having experienced it with my own eyes.

edit: argh, this is Cyfr, i'm not at my house and this autosignin tricked me

I wonder if any of these cretins fathers are misguided taxi drivers.

Its disgusting isn't it, it really makes me sick to hear this, lack of punishment in this country fuels these criminals, you dont hear of crimes like this in the UAE.

And on this side of the pond too ... In New York (I think) a mugger beat up a little old lady ... she was 101!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe I'm getting old, but I am starting to believe very strongly that the way I was raised - to respect others, particularly those weaker - was the best. Nothing wrong with being a gentleman - not a toffee nose, but a real gentleman. Or maybe I'm just oldfashioned, thought I hope not.

Came across this same news a couple of days ago, she is a real gutsy lady! Don't panic mods, I have put the link to the video in "anything goes", This link just takes you there

grego · 18-03-2007, 20:13

Just watched it Busman, glad she's okbut sickening to see someone do that to her.

There really are some sick people around. I’ve run out of publishable expletives to attach to both muggers here and over the pond.

Just as much of a coward is the anonymous person who awarded me some negative Karma for this thread with the comment “Just a pity it was not you”.

Whoever it was I dare you to reveal your nasty little self and be judged by your peers.

If the person who posted that actually meant what they said then they are as bad as the thugs and muggers. What is happening to the human race?

They no doubt posted that on his karma knowing he would 'do one', (which he, as usual did), if karma upsets him so much then he should learn to ignore it and stop boring the rest of us with it.

(no it wasn't me).

Jambutty proberley feels that strongly about this issue as it could have been him as easily as any other pensioner. Its a bit like when we have a go at the ned criminals as we could suffer as well. What about all the outrage ove the damaged trees on Broadway we wernt happy were we and let it be known almost as if it was an attack on ourselves personally.
