And yet another article which just beggars belief. And the police say they can do nothing. This is a farce, you couldn’t make it up…..
I had just posted my comments regarding a local situation. Then I read this …
The youth of today call for respect but they do not give it. Those responsible for this should be prosecuted for murder or at the very least manslaughter. They set out to hurt even if they didn’t intend to kill. Whatever their intent they had no qualms about the possible effects of their actions.
I don’t know about anyone else but I am sick to death of hearing about how the youth of today are making ordinary folks lives a living hell.
Here is yet another example……
How can this be acceptable in this day and age ?
Somehow we have lost our way as a society. These yobs know the difference between right and wrong. Is it that they just don’t care or is it, as I suspect, they know that they won’t get punished even if they are caught.
Back in my parents day there was the threat of “the Birch” and I believe they still had this form of punishment available on the Isle of Man right up to the 70’s.
Perhaps now is the time to start a campaign to reintroduce this kind of punishment for the kind of petty criminal activities that don’t warrant imprisonment.
I for one would vote for it.
