Maybe I'm being paranoid again, but this kind of terrorism has been used against a number of outdoor sports in the US, and consistently done by so-called "animal-rights" and environmental radicals. I seriously doubt that the number of incidents I've heard of in Europe recently is a product of random hooliganism, so has there been any effort toward investigation of the possibility that such crimes are an organized program, even if of local origin?

Hi Steve
Unfortunantley over here in the UK ans N Ireland it is down to random hooliganism many of these young louts have nothing better to do with themselfs but to spoils others peoples fun

Steve 90% of vandalism here is coursed by mindless pieces of s**t who do it just because.They have no brains most are under age so when caught get a slap on the wrist and told no to be bad boys again(I AM RANTING AGAIN)

Heh, yeah, Fred, been there, seen that. Problem is that's exactly how these groups conceal their leadership, with the young-and-stupid as front-line shock troops. The brats don't know they're being used. Just something to consider, for what it's worth, as it's pretty common over here.
fred

In the paper today 3 rats  aged 19-17-16 kicked a man to death because he had the nerve to ask them about damageing his car this man has a family and wife who admited she is near suicide.I do not about the states but all they got was 17yrs-16yrs-15yrs in my way of thing LIFE SHOULD MEAN LIFE NOT THIS FEW YEAR
(SORRY FOR RANTING BUT IT IS SOMETING IFEEL VERY STRONG ABOUT)

I see in this months Bow International magazine, two of the GB team (their names escape me at the moment) hopeful of going to the next Olympics have been attacked by a group of 'youths' (mixed male and female in this case) because one of them went over to object to the fact that one of the youths was juping up and down on a car bonet.

I'm sure when I was younger I had better things to be doing than that!  And you're spot on Fred, it's nothing to do with fear, it's about respect, I wouldn't have dreamt of doing anything like that, and nor would any of my friends.


Don't get me started on the folks shown on the TV yesterday throwing bricks at fire crews!  
fred

I was no angel when I was young but would never dream of do what is going on now.My father or my mother would have took me up to the cop shop right away.I was trapped once with a girl by 3 rat bags I pushed her into a shop door thinking they have got to past me first.They came on and I saw out of the corner of my eye movment thought one had got past I turned SMACK HE WENT DOWN LIKE A SACK OF SPUDS.Guess what it was a copper having a smoke the rat bags ran there is me standing over him when MR PLOD TURNED UP
RESULT-- SLUNG IN THE LOCAL NIC
RUNG DAD ---DID YOU DO IT YES BUT PHONE WENT DOWN
LOCKED UP WITH A NUTTER OUT OF HIS HEAD
COPPER I DROPPED FINALLY CAME ROUND TOLD WHAT HAD HAPPENED
NEXT MORNING HAD BREAKFAST A TOLD TO PUSH OFF BY THIS TIME MY FATHER HAD BEEN TOLD WHAT HAD HAPPENED BY THE GIRL HE WAS IN THE NICK PLAYING MERRY HELL ON THE LAW.
If I had attacked the copper my father would have left me there and god help me when I did get home
AS I SAID IT IS ALL ABOUT RESPECT AND HAVING GOOD PARENTS I HAD 2 OF THE BEST
segolden

Well, you're indeed fortunate, Fred. All I can say is that I think this problem is worse than I had thought, from what everybody's saying. Such a total breakdown of youth points to what I've seen myself in many cities over here, where the only thing such people respect is half a belt through a machine gun in their direction. So much for advocates of "gun control".
Blackcat

I'm with Fred on this one. I blame bleeding heart liberals. A good belt round the ear at an early age does wonders. Teaches respect for your elders.
fred

Blackcat you do realise nowadays you could be arrested to do that. THERE IS A VAST DEFERANCE IN DISALPINING A CHILD THEN BEATING A CHILD When I was a child I must have been in bad trouble for my father to clout me because he always said he was
to heavy handed
Blackcat

Fred if I was bad I got a clip round the ear taken to apologise and trust me I never did it again. I'm not taking about beating children, just good old fashioned discipline sorry to cause any confusion. Didn't mean it to sound like child abuse.
fred

I know what you meant blackcat It is just one line I FEEL ABOUT A LOT have been on the wrong side of these of type of ratbags recently
Fred
Onewackybow

In my opinion/experience the vast majority of kids are law abiding and respectful.

Yes there is a problem but I don't honestly believe that it is a complete breakdown with regards to the youth of today. To advocate such a thing is disrespectful to those that are good kids.

Lets not tar them all with the same brush.
fred

Mate I know but you never hear about those kids only the ratbags in the the papers and the D******DS WHO TRIED TO BRAKE INTO MY PROPERTY.I also know of good lads but I can assure you I do not TAR EVERYONE BY THE SAME BRUSH just the ratbags-there parents anyone who allows them to run wild
(RANT OVER)
