Is this the final result of the liberal experiment?

Yoof scum killing old ladies for their pension money? We've tried the softly softly approach for over a generation and we have succeeded in creating a huge swath of feral heartless lowlife scum who care only about their own gratification. I'm not relgious but God help us!

see, the decine in religion is a major part of this, kids no longer fear the wrath of God.

Ah the perennial retreat of the demigogue - drawing a general conclusion from the specific example!

We tried the reactionary Experiment for hundreds of years

Sending children to Australia

Executing thieves

And that gave us a golden Victorian era totally free of crime. Didn't it?

The "Liberal experiment" as you call it has given us a homicide rate lower than
New Zealand and Canada for goodness sake!

But I guess if you will get your news from Rupert Murdoch it's not surprising if you think the outside world looks like a Mad Max film!

>Yoof scum killing old ladies

The last person who mugged her was 58 years old, but lets not let facts get in the way of a good story.

>>Michael Brooks, 58, admitted the robbery at Burnley Magistrates’ Court and is awaiting sentence.

Does that make it OK then,VHG? No thought for the poor Lady.

Look, we're not allowed to call them "scum" - misunderstood youngsters who are bored, hence it's "our" collective fault when things such as this happen.

No, please realise that in today's Britain victims do not have rights, let alone exist. Our focus must be constantly trained on these unfortunate teens who after all are only reflecting our collective apathy by perpetrating actions as described in the above link - they are to be pitied, not prosecuted, can't you understand that?

Why these elderly people are where they are at the same time as the misunderstood youths is anyone's guess: well, I mean, if these old crumblies were elsewhere, none of it would have happened, would it? Let's get our facts straight.

So, instead of trying to blame the young, jobless, ill educated, alcohol induced, drugs raddled, foul mouthed, out of all parental control(if parents exist?), teenagers in our midst, try blaming those selfish geriatrics who deliberately attract those misguided young folk into ridding society of yet another granny or grandad.

It's not punishment they need, it's simply a pat on the head - isn't it?

Whatever you do, don't mention race else it could start a civil war. We know what Burnley is renowned for so maybe there is a good reason this time for not mentioning the ethnicity of the attacker.

I did not say that.

But poster said it was "yoof scum" and putting the problem at the door of softly softly approach over a generation.

I was pointing out that at 58 he was hardly "yoof scum".

[jno]

at 58 he was brought up under lily-livered politicans like Churchill; no wonder he turned out bad.

//kids no longer fear the wrath of God.//

Regardless of age, they don't fear the wrath of anyone because they don't have to face the wrath of anyone.

[bibblebub]

[bibblebub]

And WShee9 the troll in which posting has the perpetrator been beatified?

// Regardless of age, they don't fear the wrath of anyone because they don't have to face the wrath of anyone. //

True. If anyone dares show any wrath it's likely to be them that gets the punishment.
