Hit ‘em hard

The News has highlighted yet again teenage violence both mindless & drug fuelled.

The daily tabloids went further, and on the back of the sacking of the five racist/sexist/ homophobic police specialist force also highlighted the increase in Hampshire crime - specifically drug-driven, apparently by multiple gangs making the the current lack of the above specialist team more crucial.

Buckland is currently reeling from another violent episode on top of The News’s expose of flat dwellers scared to emerge from homes in fear of aggressive behaviour – barely believable in 2021.

What is apparent is that it’s been ongoing for months – why no action?

Are we really tolerating teenage trash dominating people’s lives in 2021? Residents scared to allow children out – it’s like a cheap movie.

Bridgemary Police have sealed off a skate park (again) after 12 youths smashed fencing specifically erected.

Constructors arrived and were abused by 15 yobs.

I love the pathetic police response on Twitter (yes Twitter). Police warned parents the site had been secured (again) and remind their yob kids not to attend until

No mention of the damage caused, no mention of the abusive threatening behaviour.

One thing is certain, the ‘Twitter tripe’ sent will be ignored by all concerned – it’s a different breed.

Forgive me for returning to the sacked coppers, but that disgusting segment of law and order is sadly endemic of today’s society. We don’t want a return of the “flog ‘em and hang ‘em lobby, the perverts carrying that out were another of society’s problems.

The answer is simple – hit ‘em in the pocket, hit ‘em hard, take it off benefits – that will focus mindsets.
