i had pretty much the same happen to me-in newquay on a piss-up holiday, most of the other lads had gone back to the hostel earlier, was around 4am, but hadnt been drinking as was on a promise (diddnt want to suffer from brewers droop) couldnt find her, so i was on my own, got a kebab, walking up the hill to the hostel when i get a full can of beer lobbed at my head, turn round two younger lads there, one punches my gut, the other nicks my kebab. the one with the kebab starts to walk off, the other turns round and warns me (holding knife)not to tell the police as hes 'well ard' and his 'crew' would 'get me'.

i look at him, realise hes half my size, so i properly layed into him big style-lots of blood, end up knocking him out, and breaking MY finger! some-one had rung the police, i get aressted, lucklly it was all captured on a hotels front porch cctv-told me it was obvious it was self defence :)

When you read these stories about kids behaviour these days it makes you mad, but whenever anyone in power (police, government etc) says anything about it they get shouted down by all the do-gooders who want to blame everyone but the perpetrators. I have heard recently people trying to argue that its all just tabloid hype and that things are no worse than they were 10 years ago, I dont remember kids shooting and stabbing each other this much 10 years ago. Some people are genuinely frightened to go out because of kids who may not even be in their teens yet.

This is the problem with a "nanny state", the more responsibility the state takes the less people feel they have to take, so the kids are bad, the parents say its not my fault and blame the teachers who blame the LEA for overworking them, the LEA blame the government for underfunding them and the government blame the last government and so on and on. When will some one in this country own up and say its my fault and this is how I'm going to fix it.

 

Here endeth the rant.
