[trt]

They will probably get off with a warning or a few hours community work, but the courts have got to start getting tough!!!!!

[ummmm]

Didn't I say they need to be punished? Or did you conveniently miss that?

[rsvp]

and did I say 'there's something seriously wrong if ummm can condone etc etc etc - no I did not.

[ummmm]

And why would you think my answer was aimed at you, rsvp?

[ToraToraTora]

what would you suggest ummmm? cessation of Xbox rations?

[ummmm]

I would suggest the harshest form of punishment that our laws permit.

[rsvp]

perhaps I was refering to Toro's post ummmm - who knows?

[EcclesCake]

Youths will continue as they have done yesterday, today and tomorrow.

The young and foolish have been around forever, a great many of them don't consider the consequences of their actions.

Hands up who always considered the consequences when a teenager?

[ummmm]

Dunt matter :-)

[ummmm]

Eccles...I walked on the wall on the top floor of a car park as a dare as a youth...

A year later I wouldn't dreamed of doing it.

Youths do stupid things...

[bazwillrun]

Yeah give up ummm...youve dug a sinkhole for yourself

at least I've learnt something... stupid and criminal intent are interchangeable. .... who knew !?

[bazwillrun]

so walking on a wall and hurling a brick into taxi are both just stupid are they .. Are you for real ?

[bazwillrun]

have you any idea whatsoever of what constitutes stup and what constitutes a criminal intent. ...

[ToraToraTora]

throwing a brick at someones head could be construed as attempted murder.

[rsvp]

your las tpost brings up a very good point Tora - lets see what happens to this story.

[ummmm]

Again Baz! Where have I said they shouldn't be held 100% accountable for their actions?

[Smowball]

Jesus Christ! Why would anyone do that??

[trt]

The brick/stone seemed to go through the left, front side window of the taxi, then hit the lady, and out of the window next to her.

Do you think this could have been racist, as I thought the driver sounded a bit Asian, and it might have been intended for him?

Just a thought.

[tamborine]

Undisciplined, unsupervised = bad parenting & feral kids

[bazwillrun]

@ ummmm

I'm disputing your classification of this criminal act as merely stupidity...

[mallyh]

oh my god I can't believe what I've just watched ,I hope the lowlifes who did that are made to face the couple, then get locked up .
