Snowball Incident

[flashy]

something similar happened to me and Richard coming up Whalley road in Clayton a few weeks back, we had just come through the lights at the Greyhound and two little kids where stood at the bottom of Whinney Hill throwing stones at the cars, i told Richard to stop the car, then i got out...the little kids ran away so fast, they could have caused numerous accidents, we noticed they where doing the same earlier on in the day when we drove down Whalley Road

I had a plant thrown at mine on blackburn rd...one taken from the councils big plant pot in middle of footpath... stopped car in middle of rd holding up the traffic...but like all kids throwing things.. they ran off.. I dont know what my intention was at the time.. deffo wasnt to grab the kid and put in car..

Seems unnatural that a kid throwing anyhting wouldnt run off to be honest.

I dont advocate letting them get away with it.. just dont touch them ...

Yes kids throwing snowballs is annoying, but who in their yoof wasn't guilty?

I remember back in the good old days myself and the street urchins I used to hang around with became jolly good at knocking the toff's top hats off and how we laughed if we managed to score a hit on a ladies bustle!

If I had been witness to somebody dragging a child into a car however, I think I would have been on the old mobile ringing the police and giving the car registration, after all these days we just can't be sure what is going on.....

She will probably fly through the 'a' level english exam, given that fine example of english literature, and then on to university for a degree, the next shakespeare? methinks not!

funnily enough a few days ago was driving out of Tottington, when a great lump of ice thrown by 1 of 2 lads hit me side window very hard, was down the hill by checcos,or carmelos ferget name i stopped the car, jumped out n the lads set off running back up the hill, the one who through it, slipped n fell head first into a big black slushy mound at roadside, so cashy just burst out laughing n returned to me car a very happy bunny. Poetic Justice i call it.

i cant wait till mine and dannys dads out of prison new yer day he will sort tht Google Page Ranking*** out if the police rnt

The sister has not done her family any favours here, however, nothing to do with the incident really.

I agree that the victim should not have bundled the lad in the car, but you can't help but having the thought of "Good on ya'". Advice was to restrain him until the police got there .. hummph .. that could have caused more trouble if he had so much as bruised the lad.

Also, the Grandfather is just playing on this and making excuses for him, no mention that he has pulled him in line for what he and his mates did. Well, we don't know really, but a statement to this effect would have been useful. He missed an opportunity to tell the young public how wrong it was.

Mentioned about that comment in the first post, Katex. Whatever their educational standards are, the fact that their father is in prison, or the fact that this lad just might be the culprit...doesn't make what the guy did right. That's the main issue I think. Would like to see what some people who agreed with him would do if it was their lad in the same position.

Like KP says, you don't touch kids, and you certainly don't bundle them in cars.

And as Less says, who never threw a snowball as a kid?

Quite so - but we threw them at each other.

Some did.....

This has gone on for eons, it's not a new thing is it?

Whoops Caz .. apologies, so you did.

Trouble is she is turning the public against this lad with her venomous inane comments (and now the friend ).

Yes, we have all thrown snowballs in our time, but only at our mates ... wouldn't have dared try to hit a moving vehicle when I was young .. probably because they could get out and clip yer ear. To me, just as bad as dropping a brick from a motorway bridge onto the carriageway.
