When I lived there...
kids used to break into our garage and steal our car. They would come from Redcar to our town, drink in the pubs and steal our car for a ride home. It got to a point where I just left it open so I did not have to pay for anymore windows or locks and we stopped replacing the starter thingy, I used to start my own car with a screwdriver. yes, that is true.
We found the car in the same place every time. We didn’t even bother reporting it after a while bcuz the police (who are as nice as can be, btw) could do nothing for us.
On one occasion, I stayed up and watched and when I saw them, called the cops who arrived within minutes & caught them red handed. They were juveniles so the cops had to let them go. No charges, no arresting, no nothing. And we were not allowed to ask their names or their parents name. not allowed to give info since they were minors.
the cops told us that i should drop my idea of getting a dog bcuz if i got caught letting the dog out to purposely hurt a child, i could ‘get done’. same if i waited and beat the crap out of them. In the end, we build a 10 foot brick wall around our property with a huge wooden gate.
When I went back, many of my old friends told me that the kids were out of control and they feared them, since no punishment comes to them.
Yep, that’s how it works there nowadays, Little Alex and his droogies can do as they please and fear no consequences.
The late conservative columnist Samuel Francis referred to this state of affairs as “anarcho-tyranny”.
I believe it!
That's amazing. No wonder youth crime is a problem - no guidance at home, and no consequences outside of it.
