Car key'd
« on: December 18, 2011, 16:50:22 PM »
Some f*ckface key'd my car yesterday afternoon. I swear I could have done bloody murder - middle of a busy high street and no f*cker saw a thing, only gone about 5 minutes! >:( >:( >:(
Two deep gouges right down to the metal on the front and rear wings.
I suppose it could have been worse. It could have happened AFTER the spray job next year

Oh FFS!  >:(  What mindless pillock does that, unless they've got a justifiable grievance against someone?  Really sorry it was done to your car.  Just shows, nowhere is safe (except perhaps inside your own garage!).

f***ing pricks. I hate people like that.

Hopefully a touch up pen and then t-cut will blend it in enough to stop you going mad every time you get in the car.

Ran some paint into the scratches just to stop it rusting until the new year.

Sorry to hear your news Teejay - retarded little feral scummers just starts to describe what I think of people who do things like that..
A work mate of mine sat in his car last summer with the passenger side window down and he heard two kids approaching his car egging each other on to run a coin down the side. He got out and told them that if they touched his car he would rip their heads off - Their only retort was 'You're not allowed to speak to us like that..'  and then walked off like they were society's victims and had been abused by the horrible man.... kill'em all and let God sort it out.

I can understand why he felt like that (and I might feel the same in a similar situation).  Unfortunately, that doesn't solve the problem.  OK he scared them off from doing his car, but the little scum will probably go and do it elsewhere - or worse, if it's somewhere he regularly parks they might deliberately target his car next time they see it.

Kids like that are used to being threatened and abused - probably by their own parents as much as anyone.  Further threats simply aggrevate them further, so they slide ever further down the road to mindless violence.  I wonder what would've happened if your mate had got out of the car and asked them, in a non-threatening way, 'What would be the point of doing that?'  Ask them if their dad's got a car and 'What would they think if someone did that to their dad's car?', or, if he hasn't got a car, 'What would they think if someone trashed something of theirs, their mobile phone, or Gameboy, or something they cherish?'

Somehow society has to break the cycle of violence, not escalate it.  Otherwise we're all going to suffer more.

There may be many reasons, but none that justify the action.  They may be kids who are just bored because they haven't got anything 'better' to do, or don't have enough money to do anything that would keep them off the streets.  They could be kids who are so alienated by society that they just 'lash out' at anything and anyone, regardless of the effect their action has on other people, or the consequences to themselves if they get caught.  They could be kids who dare one another to do nasty things as a way of 'proving' themselves.  Countless explanations...

It always happens when you'r not there.  :(

 I've not experienced it yet, but if I see it, and can catch the person ( unless he has a weapon ) he will end up in a hospital. Cause a criminal has more rights than the victim here.

Since fox hunting has been made illegal, they should make hunting down scum like that a legal blood sport - I'd add vandals and those who deliberately get drunk and pick fights to that list!

Sorry I totally disagree with this.....when I was younger we didn't have the sports facilities or electronic gizmo's all of these so called 'alienated' kids have these days...we entertained ourselves in the street with games..played on our bikes...played football from tea time until we couldn't see the ball on the common....30 of us sometimes..not a window broke, car scratched, member of the public abused etc...some kids today (not all...just a few) are little bastards who wont change because they don't want to...and they'll continue to cost society until they have little shits of their own to perpetuate the tradition.....Oh and before any smart arse says it...there were cars in the 60's and 70's!...lol

Don't get me wrong, I'm not defending or even excusing the action.  However, there have ALWAYS been little anti-social b*stards - no to mention BIG anti-social b*stards.  Keying cars is not a new phenomenon either.  However, anti-social behaviour goes in 'waves', sometimes it's on an increase, sometimes it dies down.  The nearest comparison I can think of for the mindless riots last summer was the mass battles between Mods and Rockers during the 1960s, or the Teds and Rockers before them.  Then there were the Nottinghill Riots and the Brixton Riots and more recently the Bristol riots.

The fact that ALL of these only involved a minority of the population and that not everyone who was deprived got involved, does not change the nature of the argument.  Apart from the police being blamed for handling the initial situation in Tottenham very badly, so that a 'containable' situation got out of control, many people blame poor parenting and alienation amongst some sections of young people for the riots last summer.

One of the strongest interventions in trying to 'break the cycle' of poor parenting in recent years, in which poor parents bring up anti-social children, who in turn go on to become even worse parents who bring up even more anti-social children, was 'Surestart'.  Most, although not all, 'Surestart' schemes were reckoned to be doing very well and making a real difference in deprived communities.  Unfortunately the outcome of such an intervention was inevitably going to take two or three years to get really get going and then take another 12-16 years for the outcomes to be seen.  I think 'Surestarts' started round about 1998 and really took off in the early 2000's, so the results should start to be seen in a few years time, when the generation of 'Surestart' children reach their teens.  Unfortunately, across the country are being closed down, or having their funding cut.

Even more unfortunately, the generation who may have benefitted from 'Surestart' are growing up into a society in which youth clubs and other facilities are also being cut back, youth unemployment is rising faster than it has done for generations and people's hope for a decent future - having the prospect of a 'better' future than their parents, or being able to own their own home' - are worse than for many generations.

That may not justify anti-social behaviour, but we shouldn't be surprised if that is what the result is...

I understand where you are coming from with 'Surestart' and educating ASB out from a generation and Primary School kids i've seen that work to a degree....but there is no excuse for keying someones car...and if anyone can give a solid one then i'll eat my computer!...some people are beyond education and just ...well....evil little shits!
