Ready to sort out the yobbos
Published on 31st January 2008 in Letters
Sir - The other day a colleague of mine found himself blocked in by a yob in van. A polite request to move it was met with a stream of foul-mouthed abuse. A second request met the same fate.
My colleague, although quite capable of felling the yob with one blow, restricted himself to handing out a good shaking. This well known, local, trouble-making yobb complained to the police with his mother and sister as 'witnesses'. Three policemen arrived at 7am the next morning, and my colleague was cautioned. In spite of requests from local shop keepers to move these oiks on in the past, the police claim no resources or authority so to do.
May I suggest we disband our now ineffectual uniformed police and let people like me and my colleague sort these anti-social morons out ourselves?
