Very sorry to hear about this,I hope the lad is ok,my brother and his mate was beaten up by a gang of lads late one night coming home from a nightout,they did nothing to provoke the attack,they were jumped from behind by about the same number, how brave, 12 onto 1!!
These days if you must walk after dark use well lit areas and stay away from side streets,

I don't live in Accy but live over in Cleveleys,these attacks happen all over and to be fair may not be race but thuggery,is there bad feelings between whites and Asians in that area?
This sort of thing smacks of the gangsta rap image perpetuated by the media and picked up by young black guys for whom image and respect is everything. As the recent Letitia Shakespeare case has shown this sort of thing should be nipped in the bud, before it gets out of hand and these silly sods try getting hold of guns.
Why not try getting in touch with their community leaders as this sort of thing does`nt show them in a good light and remember both of the councillors in Central ward are Asian so see what their views are on this matter.

Ged, I am sorry to hear about the attack on your son......I hope that he recovers soon and that the police will give you more help.
There is an old Icicle Works song that is fast becoming my mantra
"If You Want To Defeat Your Enemy, Sing His Song"

I hope they have enough evidence and can get the b''''''''ds that have done this to your son. God it is awful, but to happen in BROAD DAYLIGHT is mad!!!!!
you are not telling me no-one saw anything......more to the point probably did but won't speak up, which is just as bad as the attack itself. Good luck

I just thought it was at night Ged,as Slinky say's I find it hard to believe no one saw anything!! best not say much more Ged as if it goes to court it may harm your sons case,I used to watch a show called Cops, it was a fly on the wall show where they follow police doing their beat in the US,one show had an LA cop showing how the streets were run by gangs,and how many killing and shootings took place every night between rival gangs,we will be following this sort of thing over here in time if were not careful!ged said:
I somehow missed this thread earlier. I'd just like to add my sympathy Ged and hope your son recovers. It's awful that people don't want to get involved by coming forward as witnesses but sadly this seems to be the case these days. I know from personal experience that even so-called "friends" can be very wary of getting involved. That this happened in broad daylight is appalling and if something isn't done then it's only going to get worse. Gangs like this will be above the law and running Accrington before long.
As for racism, racism is racism whether it's white against black, black against white, brown against pink or green against purple. In fact colour doesn't even come into the equation. If one brown race hates another brown race it is still racism. I just wish the powers that be would begin to understand that. NOt taking action against criminals because of their racial origin is awful.
How is your son now?
