A man with learning difficulties was 'tormented to death' after being bullied by yobs for more than a decade, neighbours claimed today. David Askew, 64, dropped dead after he tackled thugs who broke down his gate and invaded his garden. Neighbours said Mr Askew had been targeted before he was found dead at his home in Hattersley, Greater Manchester, last night. One neighbour said he had been 'tormented to death - like bear baiting'. Residents criticised police and officials for not supporting Mr Askew and his brother Brian and mother Rose, who was wheelchair-bound. Officers were called to the address last night after being told yobs were causing an 'annoyance'. When they arrived the youths had vanished but officers discovered Mr Askew collapsed in his back garden.

And yet these ‘neighbours’ knew this was going on for ten years and they did... what?
Q'est qe c'est "yobs"?
Hyenas!!
(figuratively speaking)
Oh, no! That poor gentleman. What is the matter with people???
This sort of thing is enough to make anyone question as to whether or not God really does exist.
I don’t know. I really don’t know.
Chiefly British Slang
A rowdy, aggressive, or violent young man.
[Alteration of boy (spelled backward).]
Lord of the Flies. Disgusting.
I live in a town where seniors seem to make up the bulk of the population. Us 45 year old youngsters would never allow this to happen to one of our neighbors.
Yobs? Is that Brit for Youtes?
My very first question. They share the identical guilt as the yobs.
I think you asked what is a “yob” but I couldn’t tell.
BTW.. What in samhell does Q’est qe c’est mean?
(”yob” is british for hooblum or delinquent)
The basic challenge is to reconcile the existence of evil with the belief that God is good and God is everywhere.
Definition (from Encarta):
U.K. hooligan: a young hooligan ( slang )
[Mid-19th century. Backward spelling of boy]
Mr Askew should have claimed to be gay or a muslim (or a gay muslim)....then the police, the Scotland Yard, and MI5 would have been all over it.
I am just sick of all the thugs and filth getting away with their actions.
Makes it pretty clear that Satan does.
I don't believe "God is everywhere". I believe God is in one place at one time, but that his influence is everywhere, something like the sun.
Some people choose to ignore and harden themselves to His influence.
