:D Brilliant, P24 :notworthy:

[Bonkers Mad!!!]

i wouldve liked to have seen that too.

my sons friend (the foster kid, the one we call Mark) was robbed on the bus last thursday. it was just before rush hour so the bus was quite full but not packed. this boy just leaned over him, told him he had a knife and demanded his phone, money and cashpoint card. he then put his hand in his pocket and told Mark to give him the pin number. Mark really thought he was going to get stabbed and just told the boy the number. by the time he got to my house (has to pass us to get home) he was in a state, you could tell how hard he was trying not to cry by the way his voice kept catching as he told us what had happened. apparently nobody on the bus would even look at him let alone step in and do something.

i was absolutely livid :angry: i really dont think i would be able to help myself, my gob would just run away with me and i&#39;d probably get stabbed for poking my nose in but i honestly dont think i could live with myself if i saw something like that and didnt do something.

That&#39;s awful BM :angry:

Any idea whether the bus was fitted with CCTV?

It might be worth making enquiries, just in case the police forget ;)

I haven&#39;t seen the Panorama prog. yet (hopefully recorded), but thanks P24 :thumbs:

[coppernob]

That is awful :angry: but sadly getting more and more part of everyday life in Britain. I missed it too, P24 and good move with the email :thumbs:

I saw this and was quite shocked at ho badly the innocents were treated, and that poor man losing his life to a 16 year old yob. Disgusting&#33;

I was going to mail them too P24, you go girl&#33;

[Planet 24]

Yeah and the kid had an asbo and his father said the guy asked for it&#33;&#33;&#33; and even worse his grandma said &#39; I would have done the same&#39;. I think it was Sunderland.
For those who didnt see it the man went to the aid of a girl being attacked by a group of teenagers and squared up to this yob, he ran off the guy turned around and walked back to his friend and the yob ran up behind him and hit him in the back of the neck - the guy was dead before he hit the ground from a ruptured artery. The yob got 3 years and was out in 18 months :angry:

[StoneHenge]

And the one who said he had been kidnapped. Disgusting how they get away with it. Makes you think twice and then another time before wondering whether to help.

I felt really uncomfortable watching some of the clips. the one where all those yobs where kicking in that one person, ran off when they saw the police and the person didn&#39;t get up.

My hubby was followed home one night by a group of supposed friends (many years ago now), and before he got home, they pulled him to the ground and kicked him in. He&#39;s really nervous around large groups now (as anyone would be these days).

Things have to change.

[Planet 24]

I had a conversation with someone from another village yesterday that just about summed up the mentality of people nowadays.
This came from a woman who&#39;s husband drunk himself to death because his nerves were &#39;shot away&#39; because of endless bricks through the windows and attacks on the house, just from yobs and general thugs - not neighbours.
Her son is on the slippery slopes of alcoholism for the same reason as the attacks continue haphazardly and not regularly but they continue nevertheless.
I said to her - &#39;Have you called the police, Do you know who&#39;s responsible&#39;.
&#39;Oh yes&#39;, she said, &#39; But you can&#39;t report them or you get targeted&#39;.
I said well I did - &#39;I know&#39; she said - &#39;That&#39;s why you had trouble, if you keep quiet they might go away&#39;

What a philosophy :(

[Bonkers Mad!!!]

M, that is such a sad state of affairs :(

i posted Marks story on our local website and one of the responses was "thats life for you....gotta stand up for urself...." :blink: hmmm, against somebody with a knife? what a moron

I don&#39;t know how true this is but I have been told that if you are hijacked for cash at the cash machine and put your pin number backwards it alerts the police. Don&#39;t think my brain would function to remember it backwards under that kind of pressure, but you never know.
