How bad is bad?

Yesterday the OH and me were in the front garden doing some weeding when a chap came to me, treading on plants and with a dodgy attitude asked if I wanted him to fix my roof! I said there is nothing wrong with the roof and if there was I could fix it. He went on to ask if I wanted the garden digging! Then did I want the plastic window frames cleaning! He wouldn't take no for an answer. Unknown to me the OH recognised him from last year when he was stealing wheelie bins and rang the police. While undesired man and me were talking OH passed me the phone out of the window and was surprised to be talking to the police(as I didn't know she had rang them). I quickly got the gist and gave them a reg. no. of a pickup truck which I thought must have been his, he ran off immediatly. 6.30 this morning we were going out for the day. No chance. 8 slashed tyres and DEEP scratches to the bodywork of our cars. I feel like giving in! For F**ks sake. We both have to go to work tomorrow. Baz This man is now in custody. Baz |

He has so many things against him in his past and with loads of convictions, including violence and he is remanded in custody. The a.hole has form including a jail sentence from which he was released with conditions to return. He never complied.Bloody hell! Why? Baz |

He was supposed to hand himself over if he re-offended or was caught doing so? He was supposed to 'sign in' at the local police station once a day/week/month? Whatever it was, he doesn't sound like the type who's going to be too bothered about complying with anything. But I'm so glad he's been caught and we can hope he'll go to jail for enough time to allow all of you to organise a neighbourhood watch scheme that's effective and enough to put him off trying it on again. I'm getting quite irritable, not to say bloody annoyed, at reading criticism of the police handling of the current riots. Firstly, whatever they do, they seem to be damned by doing too much by one side or not enough by another. Secondly, people complain about not seeing enough police when 'incidents' occur. Well, hello, moan about this in 'peacetime' and not when it's too late and moan to the politicians who advocate soft sentencing and going easy on users of drugs. Thirdly, the rioters we're seeing now aren't doing this because someone's holding a gun to their heads, they're doing it because they want to. And tonight, live on tv, we saw transmissions of the police having things hurled at them by yobs breaking into vehicles and trying to stove in windows in their spare time. It makes me mad to hear people moaning that the police do nothing when they have to stand there and take that kind of treatment. The police barely have time to draw breath before they're abused and assaulted yet again. A little less bleeding heart and a bit more "we won't put up with this from anyone" on the part of everybody seems to be required. -- Sacha South Devon A lot of this is down to the attitude of the "I am so powerful ............. SIR" Police. THEY are the ones who need to be taken down a notch or seven Mike -- ....................................

The latter is obvious the a.hole doesn't have any respect for any body or their property. He does what he wants, when he wants. Jail isn't really going to change him, pillory might but... The former well we have gone too soft these days IMHO, right from the cradle, with parents not educating their kids on "right" and "wrong", not administering any form of meaningful punishment or worse leaving it for school to do, by which time it's too late. But I'm so glad he's been caught and we can hope he'll go to jail for enough time to allow all of you to organise a neighbourhood watch scheme that's effective and enough to put him off trying it on again. I do hope he goes down but he'll be back out and he won't have changed his ways. He seems a nasty enough piece of work to survive quite well in prison, he'll be kept warm and fed at our expense. It makes me mad to hear people moaning that the police do nothing when they have to stand there and take that kind of treatment.

That's how they dealt with riots in the 60's. I was very old, 10, but sort of remember them. Any one in the rioting crowd is a rioter, If they aren't a rioter why haven't they got the F out of there, any sensible person would. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon I'm confused, how long has Jersey been in South Devon? -- Cheers Dave. |

I'd use indelible green paint fired by water cannons just so you can find the little oiks afterwards! I think there will be many troublemakers who are deliberately going into these areas from miles away to cause mayhem and a bit of looting on the side.

I think the same sort of show of overwhelming force would soon stop what is going on in London at the moment. I suggest studying a bit of history. These riots are an inevitable consequence of the policies of the past 25 years, which is when some of us started predicting them. I wasn't expecting them to explode quite like this, but was not in the slightest surprised. Whether or not using massive violence to suppress them worked, it would assuredly not stop them recurring. The only solution is to remove the root causes, rather than fuel them (which is the current policy). Regards, Nick Maclaren. |

"Martin" wrote in message ... Amongst root causes are no hope of employment in some areas, the opportunity to steal things that rioters could never afford and "having fun". -- Martin Whilst agreeing with the above, I believe you haven't gone far enough. Before the "no hope " stage arrives, people - i.e. children/youths need to have been taught respect for their elders.This goes even further back to their school days where lack of discipline was / is rife. The abolishment of corporal punishment was the start of the rot. No one ever wanted to "beat up" children for misbehaving, but a short sharp shock worked wonders Rmember Willy Whitlelaw's proposal which got nowhere ? In retrospect we can appreciate the wisdow of our own education, I assume we are all well behaved pillars of society ! Bill |
