Is this just an unfortunate coincidence?

And somewhere there's one about a group of kids who killed another with an old scythe.

Yeah, I know it's been going on since time began, but didn't know it came in bulk these days.

Hello

On the plus side, they did get life in prison. Makes a change from the community service / send you on holiday type convictions.

ajm

The first kid did.

The 2nd kid got just 8.5 yrs for stabbing someone to death and the two that threw another kid off a bridge (who consequently drowned) got 18 months and 8 months respectively!

Remember, its 5 years if you have the wrong sort of toy gun under your bed though!

And this means what?? They will be molly coddled, given everything they want..including x.boxes and ps2's, taken on days out(once theyve been in a little while), etc etc..
I speak from experience as locking these ******* up is what i do for a job.

Round all these arseholes up, then do this:

build a nice, air tight concrete bunker. Stuff the gits in there, lob in some Zyclone-B, stand well back.

Problem sorted.

I was feeling all Victor Meldrew lately but something happened to restore my faith a little.....

My wife's gran is 85 and uses one of those little OAP buggies to get about, lives in a dodgyish part of Glasgow. Coming back from the supermarket with a couple of bags of shopping her buggy conks out about a half a mile from her house. Basically she can't walk more than 20 yards.

3 lads aged about 13-15 walked up to her wearing the usual Kappa and Burberry uniform, she was fearing the worst...instead she was pushed home in her buggy. They put her shopping away and made her a cup of tea and made sure she was alright basically. She offered them a £5 for their trouble and they refused to take it...

Chuncky,

That is a really sweey story, unfortunately few and far between now a days

Good to hear about that one Chunky.

The basic reason I think is the parents who can't be bothered to bring them up or offer them any guidance on how to behave properly. The children are allowed to do what they want and experience no discipline whatsoever. Mostly latch key kids as well.

I think that the parents should be held legally responsible for thieving, damage and vandalism and be made to pay for what their children do to others. I also think a dose of the birch would do the children a power of good.

what she didn't tell you is that one of them was upstairs hunting through her drawers for all her jewellery while the other was making her a cuppa.

There is the odd one or two decent kids left in this ****e hole of a country then
