Subject: RE: BS: UK football riots. A minority of idiots?
Segregation I think followed fighting in the terraces in the early seventies. As I recall there were reports in the media to separate fans to either side of the grounds with colour coded tickets. Fighting occurred outside grounds in those days which seems to have died off due to good marshalling and police numbers these days.
Sad really when two tribes clash. One solution would be for judges to hand out longer sentences. I doubt many judges are affected by gangs of thugs outside their homes.
I am sick sore and tired of reading in the local papers how some thug was drunk at the time he blinded someone or put a bottle through a car windscreen. Solicitors enter this as a plea for mercy day and daily. Often judges accept the plea and tell the thug to control his drinking.
Did some hold them down and pour it down their throats ?
I firmly believe some judges live in total isolation unaware what goes on in the real world.
