Got shot(actually hit me) by two kids with an air rifle who were camping out on my local park. I was walking the hound at the time and thankfully they didn't shoot at her and they caused me no injury, other than to totally get my back up/lose my temper/bring my blood to the boil.
What the hell are the parents doing by :
a ) allowing their kids to own/posess one of these air rifles ( I always thought you had to have a license.)
b ) allowing their kids to camp in a park (frequented by all sorts of non entities) overnight unsupervised.
And as a footnote,the little gits gave me a load of lip after challenging them after shooting me, gave a local " Community Officer" a load of lip when they were challenged and then cleared off and left a pile of rubbish where they were camping.
When I was younger (it may be thirty years ago!) morals and virtues were taught as a matter of course. If we stepped out of line to any elder, we'd expect a good clip round the earhole or a kick up the arse. I had to stop myself from administering the same retribution or it would have been me on a charge!!
