disenfranchised teenage assholes trying to be cool doing stupid shit have never not existed.
Seems to be a trend now of people planning on social media to storm someplace hoping that the volume of people will allow them to get away with it.
Gang of youths? Dont we mean cheeky chappies, loved by their communities, who are simply victims of poverty and boredom brought on by evil Tory policies.
You plan to raid somewhere to steal and you choose McDonald’s?
I wouldn’t eat there if it was free.
This seems like another unwanted import from the US. I don’t remember flash looting, and whatever they call this happening a lot before.
Best way of avoiding all the Uber Eats and Deliveroo drivers!!
How are they going to feed 50 people? One of them will have to fire up the grill, another drop some fries into the oil. A couple more taking people’s orders and basically you’ve got yourself a fun yet subversive summer activity, with a bit of hands-on learning thrown in for good measure.
And where are the Police?
Arriving at people’s houses, in droves, pretending to arrest them for naughty Twitter posts.
Pathetic. Thanks Priti Patel, and every Home Secretary for the last 12 years.
Conservative, the very definition of the word seems to mean “to own nothing and you will be happy”.
The next phase of tackling crime inevitably will be vigilante groups unfortunately, and it’s all thanks to zero law and order in this Country.
I mean this is what you get when you have a police force so underfunded and cut so close to the chines it just outright tells people they aren’t going to solve crimes.
Britain has had 12 and a bit years of decline, and the fault lies entirely with the pack of self serving, corrupt charlatans who masquerade as a political party called the conservatives.
What about the staff having to endure this shit. Young people, probably on their first employment engagements. “Community Leaders” or whatever you call yourselves, get out on the streets and educate these morons that the harm this shit does to the young employees of places like McDonalds is not on. At least these employees are doing something for themselves, building a CV for the next step on the employment ladder.

I don’t know if I more disappointed they did this or that they chose a McDonald’s…
If you’re going to raid a place and film yourself doing it, raid somewhere worth the time behind bars at least.
We deserve a better class of criminal!
BBC News +24 the time it takes for these stories to trickle down to them 😂
If this isn’t a symptom of a failing society, I don’t know what is. To be clear, obviously this is not ok, but it’s symptomatic of the despair we all face in this shitty, fucked up world and country that is literally screwing each generation harder than the one previous.

‘Gang of youths’ is a needlessly hilarious way of putting it. I don’t know why I find that so amusing.
Regardless, not the first time teenagers have done dumb shit like this.
Christ this thread reads like a Daily Express comments section.
And the real victims in this – the poor innocent staff just going about him their day, putting in the hours grafting for a modest wage and out of the blue having to put up with this crap.
Police nowhere to be seen. No arrests made. Same old story.
If only Nottingham had a Sheriff to protect the rich…
*Robbin in the Hood 2: Electric Boogaloo*
I just wanted to say as a Nottingham resident this was the aftermath of the carnival which is always chaos but never this bad cannabis and other substances are readily available at the carnival. Also they didn’t just rob McDonald they also robbed the cinema for some reason and also robbed from local independent business. Nottingham never had issues like this up until now but I guess cuts the community centres and crime prevention have caused a rise in antisocial behaviour this summer
>about 20 of the youths abused and threatened staff.
Alright, that’s not on.
There’s an obvious pattern in all these videos from the Birmingham, London, Nottingham… But the fact that not a single of the articles dare mention it for being called racist is why this problem won’t be fixed any time soon.
We are rapidly on the way to being an utterly lawless country. The police can’t prevent this type of mass criminality, even if we treble their budgets and numbers. This comes from homes, families, parents. They are taught a complete disregard for the people and property immediately around them, and civilised society more widely
Of course, as usual, Reddit blames this shitty behaviour on police numbers rather than the people who actually do it.
This is a symptom of decaying morality and lack of shame.
Feel awful for the workers. They look like youngsters themselves and in the clips *(yea of course the idiots doing it recorded themselves)* look absolutely terrified
Imagine just minding your own business doing summer work after your exams and experiencing this shit in your first job
Kids rob McDonald’s – Tories fault!
Surely there’s another narrative?
Can’t wait for the comments from middle class redditors that say this is purely down to lack of funding in the area.
That there isn’t enough libraries or leisure centres for them.
When anyone who’s actually grew up in a shitty deprived area knows it’ll just be fuck head parents raising fuck head kids.
No one in my town went and raided a shop because we were bored, despite not having a single free to use sports facility throughout our entire childhood.
Get your heads out of the sand
Im here to read comments from people who are going to blame everyone and everything except the actual criminals.
Unpopular opinion, but knobheads, raised by knobheads, who have been allowed to be knobheads for far too long a time.
It’s not fixable, because the root is historic. If we’d tackled the cause sooner, we’d not have this sort of issue.
Chuck in todays wacky value systems on top and people have motivation. Popularity for the wrong reasons, better to take than ask. Dog eat dog, alpha bullshit.
Add on a fat dollop of underesourced deterents and people have the opportunity.
I’m 37. When I was out of line, I recieved a specific set of motivational responses to instill the understanding that I was not to fuck about.
The only fix in my opinion is to find a suitable means of negative reinforcement, remove the motivation and remove teh opportunity.
How I would suggest achieving it is a gross violation of human rights. I do think it’d be the most effective means, but I also hold that to do so would breach even my own questionable values.
Shit one, Nottingham. Hope you got a few jabs in.
I mean… the first rule of committing a crime is don’t film it.
And you might want to aim higher than a happy

This is an issue of subculture found predominantly in one community.

This is an issue of subculture found predominantly in one community.
It’s not politically correct to mention this.
It’s an obvious observation.
