Look guys, I detest the kind of young, violent yobbos you are referring to just as much as you do. It doesn't make much of a difference to me whether they call themselves Nazis, Ku Klux Klan, the Crips, the Bloods, the Vagabonds, the New British Nation or whatever the hell they choose to call their mental illness...

I deal with their criminal acts as I would deal with anyone's criminal acts.

"Tell the fuckers that if they ever beat you or someone you love."

Assuming I am very unlucky, and that happens...

1. I will try as best I can to defend myself (or my loved ones) effectively.

2. I will call the police and let them do what they are trained very well to do.

3. I let the courts take it from there.

"Little Hawk you don't have kids who are going to find s**t pushed through their letterbox then?"

No, I don't. And I do not live in the UK. But...I do spend time on an internet forum where certain people (mostly anonymous ones) are inclined to be extremely hostile and abusive to me, though they clearly have neither the patience or the goodwill to make a real, honest effort to understand what I am saying...and I remain good-natured about it regardless.

Think about that. Your hatred is not my responsibility, it's yours.

I can live with it. And with equanimity. I have never expected life or other people to be absolutely perfect, and I will not outlaw people's right to have stupid, hostile opinions and to express themselves in an unpleasant and ignorant manner...as long as they don't break the normal laws of civil peace and order while doing so.

It sounds to me like you need a STRONG police presence on the street in those UK neighborhoods you are speaking of where these troublemakers hang out. There is your solution. Petition your government and get them to do that.
