WIFE ATTACKED

[Marcel]

Yeah ok, point taken.

It just really ****es me off that something like this can happen and you just KNOW nothing will happen to the little filths that done it.
Reading the OP really annoyed me, and I felt the OP's anger!!

I shouldn't have lashed out at Craig like I did. It was childish and pathetic, especially when he was being so level headed.
So for that, Craig I offer you my apologies mate.
I just got so wound up by the post that I didn't give it any thought.

I imagined what I'd feel like if my O/H was attacked.

Thanks for that Andy, much appreciated
For what it's worth, I wholeheartedly agree with you. They're scum and its annoying to see what happens when/if they hit the court system.
It's a shame that good, honest people seem to be the ones who always come off worse.

 

[TriggerHappy]

This thread makes for very sad reading. The number of people that encouraged and wished the OP luck in his vigilante is worrying. You wonder why people think it's acceptable to commit violence? It's probably got something to do with the exceptionally poor examples set by those who think two wrongs will somehow right the initial wrong. That type of attitude can only escalate the problem.

Just when I think the rational majority are starting to clean this thread into something sensible I see this:

I might be wrong this three nasty scum may not be from an EU country that are allowed to come here freely under EU law, but this could be another bad example of the high crime they bring to the UK, many things like this go unreported, covered up by Labour etc etc. It's going to take Cameron a long time to turn things around, a bitter low legacy left by Labour won't be turned around overnight.

So you hear of violence and instantly assume it must be somebody foreign who committed the offence? Forget Cameron, it's Nick Griffin you should be looking to to sort the problems you perceive to exist!

No Big deal m8, i think we all get a little wound up by things like this.
The reality is though the first thing grabbed in any investigation now is PC, laptops and phones.
I didn't say i disagreed with the OP, i merely pointed out the forum was not the place to vent his anger / frustration.
Sorry for my follow up post.

Gareth,

I know it hurts when a loved one is attacked and unfortunately have first hand experienced being attacked and hospitalised myself in the past.

As said please do not take matters into your own hands your wife will need your support now, not having you locked away for years to come.

Unfortunately with the British legal system as it is it won't help the chances of someone being prosecuted for the attack are slim to none but you need to be strong for your wife...

 

[sonny]

Sorry Gareth, hope your wife gets better and these people dont stop her living her life. A similar thing happened to a friend of mine a few weeks ago, a completely unmotivated, mindless attack.



What an absurd, paranoid statement. Is there really a need for something like this in this thread?

Feel for you guys. My uncle got attacked 2 weeks ago. He's a fit 70+ year old and was simply parking his car into the drive. When he got out, 3 males went up to him and started kicking and punching him to the ground. Only just got out of hsopital. He had the marks of one of the perpetrators boots on the side of his face. They went inside the house and then ended up stealing the car. Police said it's likely they will find no one responsible.

Got me so angry at the time. Now, I am just glad he is safe and that my aunt wasn't home. Otherwise they prob would have hit her too.

I hope and pray you guys are much much better soon.

Be wary of another problem that may follow on from the attack.

Loss of confidence and fear of being out alone.

Maybe worth having a look at your police force's website (or possibly any UK police force website).
They usually have good advice on how to reduce the risk of becoming a victim of crime when out on your own. Common sense stuff for the most part, but worth reading up on.

Strongly suggest you remove that first post and get everyone who has copied it to do the same.

 

[mrbez]

I haven't read the whole thread, only the first post, so my response may already have been shared with others thoughts.

My thoughts are with your wife and I hope she makes a speedy recovery and she isn't left affected too much. You are bound to want to do bad things to those that did this to your wife. I would be the same.

My advice would to be leave it to the police, but if that is not an option, try to forget about it, don't mention it, and in 6 months time you never know. Your first mistake was going public on here, if you do take this further, don't make another.

Agreed. Now the OP may have calmed down now...but he has still made a public statement of intent to commit violence. Speaking from experience, having a rant on an internet forum (i.e. in public) as a means of letting off some steam can have some quite real consequences.

 

[~Sam~]

I Agree with those who have urged caution. I also think that the OP was venting to let of steam and, maybe, to get some feedback so that he could calm down a little.

I don't ultimately agree with those who say he should not be allowed to speak his mind although I think the initial statements were poorly thought out in terms of repercussions. I can imagine how he feels even though I can not truly empathise as I have not been through an experience such as he has faced. However, when my flat was broken into, I had a major adrenalin rush and, I can tell you, I would vent to anyone willing to listen that I would be more than happy to beat the c*** out of whoever did it with a nailed bat and not be bothered about that. Heat of the moment stuff (I'd personally have not only been ill equipped to deal should I have 'found' them but no superstar kung fu kind of gal either!) should be tolerated and the fact that he posted and other responded as they did may have helped him, so the fact the thread was left open could, ultimately, be for the best?

Gareth, I know it's hard to take your focus away from the cause of your pain, but it is better to redirect your emotion to supporting your wife right now and maybe looking into ways in which you can help her cope. People who have had a crime committed against them do not always react the same way and maybe the best outlet for your emotion is to concentrate on her.

Please relay my best wishes to her and that I will be thinking of her.

Perhaps not ... but it is a valid point of view! .... perhaps the PC evangelists should allow the freedom to express a point of view ... or fact of life!

Can I offer a photography based solution/story.

Where I used to live was on the route back from the local entertainment centre to the council estate. Every thursday night was £1 a drink night and we started getting trouble around 11:30-12pm. Our neighbour had a brick thrown through his window two weeks running then on the third week, a car was damaged, a brick thrown over a wall to break patio doors and the window put out again.

Myself and neighbours ran out but the youths had a head start. Then we waited for the police, who eventually came, took statements etc.

Next week, myself and the neighbours had a late night walk, with an occasional police presence telling us to go home. Around midnight 3 lads and a girl walked around the corner and threw a brick into a car windscreen, another over my neighbours fence at his windows and ran straight into 4 of us. At the point of detaining them (citizens arrest officer) the coppers turned up, with police dog and after a quick chat arrested them.

Meanwhile I had my camera and was taking photo's of them (unhappy copper but that's another story). These photo's were distributed to every pub and drinking establishment in the area seeing them banned from all.

A little payback without getting into trouble ourselves.

Gareth,

I know it offers no real help, but there are people out there that just don't understand respect & decency for other people; the only thing they really understand is fear & violence. It is not until they are confronted with the fear that they are just about to become a victim themselves that they will listen to what people have to say.

My son suffered persistent bullying at school, which both the Police and the school washed their hands of. It only stopped when I had a "chat" with the ringleader, on his own, without friends. No violence took place, just a one way conversation as to what could have happened if I wasn't such a decent bloke...

I hope these people are found and brought to justice, whatever justice that happens to be. Hopefully the Police will do their jobs and bring it all to a satisfactory conclusion. Unfortunately, with the cuts coming along, I wouldn't hold your breath.

Hope the Mrs is recovering well, and the red mist has subsided.

Steve

 

[neil_g]

have to agree that this thread only serves to give evidence that you intend to harm those responsible to the police if anyone ever found it..

as much as id probably feel the same way not really a good idea to write that in public.

 

[Grayman]

I might be wrong this three nasty scum may not be from an EU country that are allowed to come here freely under EU law, but this could be another bad example of the high crime they bring to the UK, many things like this go unreported, covered up by Labour etc etc. It's going to take Cameron a long time to turn things around, a bitter low legacy left by Labour won't be turned around overnight.

Gareth i hope your wife recovers quickly and you can return back to a normal life.

Don't even know where to start with this statement...on this alone I must be a suspect..I am from an non-EU country. But then again I receive taunts/jokes like this on a daily basis.

Gareth..I hope your wife has a full recovery. As someone suggested in an earlier post, it might be a good idea if she goes for victim support or counselling..even if it is at a later date.

Perhaps not ... but it is a valid point of view! .... perhaps the PC evangelists should allow the freedom to express a point of view ... or fact of life!

I dont view this as a fact of life more a completely absurd and bitter point of view! PC or not, that post brought nothing to the thread and nothing to Gareth's problem. I'm sure there are more appropriate threads to post this view on

 

[KayJay]

A prime example of what a friendly and welcoming forum this place really is. Marcel, you're having a laugh surely? What a bizarre contradiction this thread is to your first post in it.

Hi Gareth - So sorry to hear of the attack on your Wife, together with the upset it has caused all the family.

I hope that she will feel better very soon and that, with time, this awful ordeal can be put behind you.

I can understand and appreciate the reasons for your anger etc, but be strong and don't do anything silly. Take care.
