Egg throwing scum - Deptford

[skrx]

ps - is the Catford cat still covered in bird s**t?

Found it: Google Streetview. Looks great!

 

[downfader]

That cat rocks. Not often I say that (as they crap all over me garden usually, hehe!)

Just on the other side of the road, a block up away from the Broadway, there is a café called The Meating Place (127 Rushey Green). It’s run by people with “learning difficulties” – filmed it for the business awards – worth supporting if you’re meeting in Catford.

"Imagine if you had shoved, pushed, slapped, cuffed, punched or kicked the little f*cker, he would be traumatised, "

Or one of his mates would then stab you.As much as it rankles I think best advise is to get the hell out of there.

Agreed, I wasnt advocating that anyone puts themselves in that situation but rather highlighting how the initial victim would be ignored and the crime against them forgotten if one of these feral scumbags got what was coming, they understand the law of the jungle but the also know how to maximise their advantage should they be wronged in any way.

Well, actually I am suggesting that if you can get away with it, a really good twatting of an angry cyclist would do them the power of good, not there and then, just gather evidence and then retalliate on quiet using gathered evidence and intelligence, its a bit pointless, like hitting a Dog some time after its done something wrong but for yourself it is very cathartic and theraputic.

I would be interested to hear what would be just punishment, via the law or vigilante style for hitting a cyclist with an egg ?

I reckon £300 fine or goods to the value of plus a night in the cells or alternatively one full on punch to the face, a kick in the bollocks and then make them watch you stamp on their mobile phone/Ipod.

Sentencing complete, Next Case......

I lived in Deptford for three years, while there I was hit over the head with a brick, stabbed with a dart and shot with an air gun. I left in 1978 aged five.

If we had elected judges in this country J4CKO would get my vote.

I live nearby and agreed it not the most friendly area of the country.
Summed it up when I saw the cycles UK blog - new store opening in creekside had a load of bikes nicked before its even opened - shame - hope it doesn't put them off opening be good to have an LBS a bit closer.

LOL Sounds like the beginning of The Wasp Factory

The offense is section 39 assault. It's probably a community penalty or a heavy fine.

Though a good kick in the nadgers would probably be the best punishment as far as I'm concerned !!

 

[benborp]

Of course there's the danger of not making a good contact and emasculating them by snagging said nadgers on a cleat...

When one of our trucks had its windscreen smashed by a brick thrown off a bridge a few weeks ago, the police seemed rather surprised to be called. According to the driver, the first thing they said when they arrived was "why have you called us out to this?" We discovered, after my lorry got the same treatment a few nights later, that the way to get the police to turn up quickly is to threaten to catch the culprits yourself and mete out some instant justice to them. The police will arrive before you've put the phone down.
Incidentally, I'm usually pretty left wing and easygoing. But nothing is too bad for folk who throw bricks at lorries, or eggs at cyclists.

There was an interesting piece on Radio 4 the other day, about how mindless acts of violence and criminal damage are actually that - mindless. The argument was that without proper nurturing some people grow up without the ability to fully empathise with others, which kinda makes sense. It's not as extreme as Renard of course, but it does explain how some of these toerags get their kicks.

I would say I wholly agree with the theory, but then I guess blaming the parents is as good a place to start as any.

ah so it's that way round then - so is it ok to throw eggs at lorries?

A work colleague just had a BRICK thrown at his windscreen as he drove thru Islington 2 nights ago!

Sorry to hear about your experience Rhythm Thief. Appalling.

I just think about that poor old fella who lost an eye due to some scum throwing eggs as he cycled by. I always wear glasses when I ride now.

I despair.
