I encounter them when they have gone beyond that stage, when they are so convinced that they should be entitled to anything they want that they just help themselves, or they throw a brick through a shop window simply because it's there or they are bored.

They steal a car, crash it, often injuring others in the process. They call it joy riding. Where is the joy?

An argument turns into a fight, a weapon is drawn - resulting in injury or death.

Then we find when they are arrested they are entitled to a defence - and who pays for that? You again dear tax payer. You and I.

Yes perhaps we only see the darker side Lampman but I'm convinced the dark is growing darker by the day.

So, what is the solution? The PC way obviously isn't working is it?
