  1. Was he one of the ones trashing the place and terrorising the owner?

    If so, I have very limited sympathy… Karma’s a bitch.

  2. Shop near me has a group of traveller kids (according to owners) who come in and refuse to leave, steal items etc.

    At one point 30 of them turned up to cause havoc.

    Police don’t come, they haven’t responded to my messages about it.

    What are hardworking shop keepers supposed to do other than to fight back?

  3. A man’s home isn’t even “His Castle” any longer, let alone his shop. If your a thieving fucker, it matters not what flavour you are.

    We are being dragged back to the Stone Age, people will be growing their own food to survive, sitting in a metal tub in front of the fire to bathe and bartering their wares to get by. We may as well revert to the laws of old also. Those days when it was your absolute fucking right to defend your property.

  4. One of the only things i think we should take from Americans is being able to defend your property as you need. If someone is breaking into your house or destroying your property I think it’s total fair game to defend it as you need.

    I might feel differently if the police were equipped to achieve anything to stop this but they don’t.

  5. I was having a kick around with my young son just yesterday and a gang of lads just started saying sh*t all in black clothes, little bags and trainers, terrifying country we now live in.
