Stroud Green Trees, morons Options

[Bloggo]

Here we have yet another demonstration of mindless moronic behaviour of the local yob community.
They are either setting light to things, spraying paint on them or destroying them.
When, oh when will someone do something about these d**kheads and give them a sentence that gives them some intense displeasure when and if they are caught.

I note your comments. Just wondering what resources, both monetary and/or manpower would be needed for such an operation to take place? (rhetorical) I expect there would be plenty for people to write about on here and elsewhere if street crime, for example, rose and there were not enough resources to deal with it due to 'tree watching'.

I accept what you say, however, you also must accept that if we don’t do anything then those kids – whoever caused the trouble – will grow in strength. Basically what you are saying is that you’ve got other more important issues and there is nothing much you can do about it, other than observe where you can.

Random patrols (by their very nature unpredictable), community liason by Police and other agencies and the community making an effort to improve their areas by getting involved are some of the best ways to stop this kind of thing and cases of community action doing just this are well documented.

Again I accept what you say; however, random patrols didn’t stop this latest vandalism.

I think it is a shame that you experience an 'I didn't see anything' attitude in your and many other communities.

I agree. But me personally I’ve reported everything I’ve seen.

As an addition, I didn't read ches's post as her taking offence, but that's the problem with forums, posts can be read with the wrong intonation.

She said “Don't you think you've had enough Glenn? Give it a rest!”. Give what a rest? You didn’t see it that way, Jeff and I did. Maybe you could tell me how you interpreted it.

Perhaps Anon2 you won't tell GMR how you interpreted it and we might all therefore be able to focus on the topic instead...please!!!

This type of vulgar vandalism is regrettably a feature of British society. Fortunately, this is the actions of barely a handful of people. I'm sure there are better uses for police money than a row of small trees...sadly. Perhaps not planting anything would be a better idea, either that or exploding trees!

Why? He said he interpreted it differently and I just wished to know how he interpreted it. What is wrong with that?
