Colin

That is what should happen everywhere i think

but as you say the police are underfuded and under staffed

and yes someother poor kid will get a kicking and another untill one child gets really hurt

So sorry to hear about your trouble Steve and sincerely hope daughter and her boyfriend recover quickly from their ordeal.

We worry too about our grandchildren,oldest was attacked a few years ago coming home from school,came home covered in mud.

I hope they catch the ones who hurt your daughter & b.friend, but,afraid to say they think they are soo clever flouting the law! and have no respect for anyone...or themselves!

Best wishes to you all,
Mau xxx

So sorry to hear about this, it makes my blood boil. Just because they dare to be different and listen to good music, this is so wrong. Having been into rock music since school I and various old boyfriends have been on the receiving end of this sort of bigotry so I know how your daughter and her boyfriend feel.
How they both OK and keep rockin'

Steve, thats the hardest thing isn't it when you know they have got away with it and will do it all again to some other poor person who dares to be different..Where I live the police really clamped down after the town was voted the most violent place in the UK for its size and zero tollerence has paid off even if it has cost a couple of pubs their licence, at least its safe to walk around now here.

Colin mate i know that

and i cant blame them they do the job to their best

ability now the justice system is something else

but they did say there was not a lot of chance of catching the attackers

I cannot believe this. How awful. I am so sorry that this has happened.
It is stupid that nobody is safe, and yet the police and government do nothing to stop this yob culture - and then they wonder why so many people are leaving for other countries.. Britain is no longer great.

This happened last week didnt it, a young girl killed by yobs just cuz they looked different.. I am so mad right now that people cannot even dress the way they want to for fear of getting beaten up.. Well I am sorry but I dont want to dress like a chav.

Give me love and best wishes to your daughter..

Sorry to hear that your daughter and her boyfriend were attacked but please don't blame the police....they are massively under funded and hampered by red tape and admin.When the police do catch offenders they are dealt with by the CPS and the courts..the police do not decide punishment

Steve, have to agree with Hayley, our world has gone mad. The evil ones get rewarded the innocent get a kicking. I can only think it could have turned out much worse and so glad it didn't, not that that will bring you much comfort at the moment... Hope these 2 young ones heal both mentally and physically quickly. shirley.x

Steve its terrible that they were attacked just because of how they dress.

All this shows is that the children of today have not progressed from the mods & rockers bigotry that went on years ago.

Hope K & M are ok send em my love please

Oh Steve how awful.. I hope they are feeling a bit more settled now.

What a scarey incidence for you all. I hope you get some sort of closure from the police. If the perpertrators are caught it would they feel safer?

FFS....Steve I am gutted to read this..I hope your daughter and boyfriend are ok....

This yob culture has got to stop....zero tolerance will never happen with all these namby pamby EU rules, where the thugs, yobs, criminals have more human rights that the victims..

best wishes to your family Steve xxxxxxxxxx
