Rant: Scum we can do without

**jim.cox** · 3rd August 2009, 10:22

On my home on Friday I came across a trio of young thugs beating up some schoolkids. One was down and taking a heafty kicking

They stopped when I got involved, but the kids did not want me to call the rozzers

But what really makes my blood boil was the way the trio just sauntered off down the street as if nothing had happened. I'm still fuming and wondering what I should have done - we dont need aresholes like that around

Yeah it makes you feel pretty powerless to achieve anything if the victims just accept what happened and the offenders couldn't care less.

In hindsight, do you think you should have called the police anyway?

I would have called the cops.

Yes - The smirk and swagger of the number one perp needs to be re-arranged

Call the cops! But if the beatee won't press charges you are wasting your time!

the victim most likely knew the attackers. what i would have done was given the victim my details so that i could be a witness and tell him to press charges. gives a sense of empowerment that they do it themselves, etc.

The kids were probably winding them up prior to getting themselves beaten up.

Youf of today are a mouthy lot...

Yep, could've gone either way...and kid not wanting to call rozzers could've been so that he didnt have to tell them what he was saying to said "perp" before getting his beans.

Not that I condone kickings, and it sounds bloody good that you got there. When some tosser cant stop himself from putting the boot it when the other guy's on the ground it stops being a scrap and turns into a beating.

As for the kids looking cocky and smarmy, thats just you getting old Jim.
