In all honesty, whenever I hear that, I think thats a load of shit. They are bored? Its down to the fact that they cant/dont want to work for a living so they cant afford to go to the cinema, swimming pool, bowling or whatever. They'd rather get smashed and high: and thats the problem. But, because those "industries" make too much money for the government, its never going to decrease in size or popularity.

When I grew up, everyone rode around on bikes, played footie on the wreck, kirby, tag, and everything else. Nothings changed except a culture that has been kicked in from somewhere, and its these twats that show up this country. When I finished school, it was all "normal people" and a dozen goths in the corner (and, we all got along). Now its chavs, goths, and normal people - who ironically enough, are the minority.
Everyone complains of immigrants...im sorry, but the youth in this country is worse than any fucking immigrant. Im glad I live in and around country towns so this shit is hardly a problem down here.

When I was growing up we used to want to play Footy. There are 2 astroturf pitches that you have to pay for in advance and book. That's a load of shit. We would go there, wait for the matches to finish and play for about 10 minutes before getting kicked off to make way for the next college/pub team to play.

Playing on Grass is shit here. There's hardly any grass, mostly sand. I'm sure there's like a third of the amount of blades of grass than there's supposed to be.

Oh and they don't work for a living because they're too young. Least round here anyway. I think my assessment that you quoted was pretty fair and from first hand experiance.

Suppose it depends where you live, down in Gloucestershire you cant go anywhere without seeing grass We had a patch of grass, no bigger than 15m x 3m (metric ftw) that 10 of us used to play on. And its on an incline. And the ball used to end up in backgardens, front lawns and under cars

I agree, it was pretty fair. I didnt mean working for a living, I meant part-time. Paper-rounds, local supermarkets, service stations, etc. I used to do a paper-round that paid out a whooping £13 a week (!). Up at 6 everyday, even weekends. Now, we're lucky to see a paperboy/girl before 12pm. But that used to get saved to go towards catching the bus into town with a few friends and go shopping, maybe a cinema and a pizza, etc. I guess we werent just pissheads
Depends on where you live really, and stereotypical or not, up north is a lot worse than down here in the south. Or maybe thats just the media.

Actually, nobody knows why she was beaten to death but the story assumes that it was because she was dressed in Goth which just goes to prove that people think that people who dress in goth drive people to want to kick their stupid immature ass.

but for all we know she could have been killed for making fun of the way the Chavs dress.
Er, really?

Michael Shorrock QC - Prosecuting wrote:

It would appear that [they] were singled out, not for anything they had said or done, but because they dressed differently to the defendant and his friend
Soooooo, since the Prosecuter says  "It would appear" "blah blah blah" that makes it fact to you.  You are a smart one.  Ever think that the prosecuter wouldn't say " the Girl's 20 year old Goth boy friend called the Chavs a bunch of little pricks while she laughed at them, and that is what sparked the fight " .  Naw, he wouldn't be a very good prosecuter if he made it look like the Murders were provoked in any way because he wants the Jury to think of the victims of nice people, not Goth Druggie asshats that were out possibly stirring up trouble themselves.

But nobody knows for sure what happened except for you I guess, because u r so smart.
By your logic the defence should be painting the accused up to be paragons of saintly virtue.

However, one of the accused has admitted murder.

Also, if Mr Shorrock were making this up, then the defence would raise an objection and we wouldn't be reading about it. But we are. Does that not tell you something?

And anyway, even if the victims were making fun of the accused, does that give them the right to beat her to death?

If you think it does then you need locking up as well my friend.

No, but it sheds some light on why she was killed.

When someone is killed rarely do the papers say anything that would make a reader think they deserved it. Rarely do they write "Mr Smith was a BNP party member and was stabbed for racial abuse". Though they won't hesitate to add in if the victim was a Nurse, A war vet or teacher.

Imagine the news telling the full story and letting people make up their own minds. Fancy that... One day.

Erm, could that be because, more often than not, the scum of this world are the ones doing the stabbing, not those getting stabbed?

Also, you're just plain wrong - take the case of that farmer who shot those burglars some time back (sorry can't recall the names) - the facts were given and reported - they were breaking in, he shot them - nowhere was it reported that they were merely going about their honest business.

It's all very easy to point at one source and say it's biased - that's why one should never take a single source as gospel - but when X number of sources are all saying "Person Y is scum", then you can pretty damn sure that person Y is scum - remember we have a thing call libel.

Also, let see what a little further reading around uncovers:

While returning home, Lancaster and Maltby were subjected to a "vicious mob attack" from "a large group of people" between 01:10 hours and 01:20 hours on Saturday, 11 August 2007, at the skate park area of Stubby Lee Park, Bacup.[2] The couple were walking home and came across a group of teenagers at the entrance to the park. The group followed them but there was no trouble till some of them suddenly assaulted Robert Maltby without provocation. When he was knocked unconscious the gang attacked Sophie Lancaster, who was trying to protect him by cradling him in her arms. One witness a 15-year-old boy, told police: "They were running over and just kicking her in the head and jumping up and down on her head." One distraught witness used a mobile to call for emergency services saying: "We need, we need an ambulance at Bacup Park, this mosher’s just been banged because he’s a mosher." [5] Witnesses revealed that afterwards: "The killers celebrated their attack on the goths - or "moshers" - by telling friends afterwards that they had "done summat good", and claiming: "There's two moshers nearly dead up Bacup park - you wanna see them -they're a right mess."

The lawyer never said that the attack was only because the girl was Goth, you just don't understand English.

He said it APPEARED that that is what happened.  He doesn't know, it is an idea he is floating so the jury will sympathize with the victim so he can PROSECUTE the murderer.

Just say "doh" and quit posting.

What just the one source? or more than that?

My point is that you shouldn't take one source as gospel, but in this case, if you read more than just the one opinion on the case, you'll see that the BBC article quoted in the OP is very representative, and, as I said, lawyers aren't allowed to just make this stuff up.

This is the kind of story that makes me want to beat the living shit out of chavs purely on general principle ...but I guess that would make me as bad as them wouldn't it? I used to be quite fond of black t-shirts and loud angry music when I was younger and I used to get violent abuse for it too, but not on this scale. This is sickening, these little shits should be burned at the stake.

If the UK had the right to bear arms, guess who would buy them - CHAVS!!!!!!, this type of thing would happen everyday if guns were legal, and the death penalty, well that's a whole different debate altogether. Guns are for stupid American hillbillys who have two teeth between their whole inbred family.

Maybe this stuff would happen less. As in beatings.

Then shootings would happen more. At least in a fight you have a certain chance of winning or getting out alive. I'd rather get the shit kicked outta me than shot.

The last one we had was Dunblane in, I believe, 1996 (shortly after, guns became illegal). Tell me, when was your last massacre?

Hey, if you guys prefer to get beaten or stabbed with only your own martial prowess to protect you, then go ahead.  I'd rather have the option of owning a gun even if the chavs might get them too.

Think of it like this.  A gun is more likely to kill you than a beating, but this works both ways.  The chav is more likely to die if you have a gun as well.  So, unless the chav is suicidal, he won't attack you if you also have a gun.
