what makes me feel safe is the police station 2 minutes drive from my house.
it seems that the first post is putting most teens into the fact that if they walk around at night as a groupe there looking to make trouble... and that just not true me and my mates walk around in a groupe at like 2am somtimes and were not out to make trouble of hurt anybody.... maybe alittle mischeif here and there but nothing that could hurt anyone.... so maybe you shouldnt just asume that all teens that walk around in goupes at night are out to cause trouble and hurt people..
just my two cents,....
I was also watching a doco about some of the worst killers in Australia. Seems they had a very violent father and the mother couldn't care less what the kids did. So, the mixed messages that the kids were getting seemed to send them down the wrong path. No excuse though, everyone has a choice in life.
sorry geckos_are_great but if your roaming the streets at 2am in the morning then you are looking to get up to something, whether or not you hurt anyone is a matter of exactly what your up to, your not being a group of angels and IMO there is NO need for you and your mates to be out at that time of the morning, why arent you home in bed and do your parents know your wandering the streets looking for mischief? and exactly what kind of 'mischief' are you and your mates up to?
Police these days do sweet FA. I was actually inside a police station once and listened to a call for help over the radio...the fuel station attendant was bailed up inside the toilets as there were 5 young thugs waiting outside that wanted to beat the crap out of him "5 against 1". The cops just laughed amongst one another and said 'Nahhhh, can't be bothered' let someone else get it? I couldn't believe what I was hearing, the fuel station was literally around the corner and the cops were doing nothing except sitting around and drinking coffee. From that day on, I've lost all respect and trust for the police!
I wish it would be brought back as it is obvious that so many juveniles are receiving no discipline at home.
Maybe the cane would make a difference at an early age as there is no respect for the law these days.
bosses should also be allowed to bash their employees for being late, etc
cops should be allowed to tazer randoms off the street
no, child abuse should not be allowed, especially at school
and you answered your own question, you said that these "youths" are recieving no discipline at home, well maybe thats what you need to fix, if you care so much
oh and another thing, don't you think that the cops will just blame "youths" for all this, is there evidence? witnesses? how do you KNOW that ALL of these crimes were comitted by youths?
also, what are "youths" in you guy's eyes, because anyone over 18 isnt really a youth, legally they are an adult....
i do not pretend it does happen, nor try to make excuses, the teens you stabbed you definatly deserved more than what they got, im just saying that, surely every crime committed by "youths" wasnt, people are quick to stereotype people these days, me and 1 or 2 mates sneak out, we walk the streets, but we dont do anything, bar one mate who is on a good behaviour bond for several accounts of graffiti and vandalism, but we dont do anything, maybe call out for a hoon to do a burnout, things like that, but we dont cause physical harm to anyone, like the youths you mentioned, someone would have to be pretty messed up to stab you 10 times, especially if they didnt know you, you were just targetted, that is wrong, and the little s*&ts should get a full sentence, not 1 yr in juviAsk the father who was holding his baby while he was stabbed 10 times by a juvenile in his own house what evidence he has......only to see the courts give a 1 year sentence and the offender not to be named because he was a JUVENILE - in case you are not sure what this means ....he was under 18 years old.... The cops did not let this trash off lightly it was the courts. Lizadboii perhaps you are one who likes to make excuses for this kind of behaviour or pretend it does not happen
i dont believe that children should be belted stupid, but a certain amount of physical punishment is ok. give power back to parents and teachers and toughen the courts up and we may be able to get things going the right way.
