Wall of Mouths

I agree, Maxine Carr, to name one.

deadsetgav, at first glance you would think it OTT, but it emerged that the bloke murdered was an electrician and the murderer had a 6 month ongoing diary of noise disturbance and to top it off the murderer had been in a car accident which left him with a mental health diagnosis which meant he could not stand long periods of noise or loud noise. Now the questions are; Did the electrician know this? What support was the murderer getting? Was their a mediater? Did the keen DIY electrician drill all the time and at what time of day?
I am not defending the murderer, but in the circumstances people in this situation can completely flip.
The first I heard of this incident on the radio. Somebody said “you can’t kill someone for doing a bit of DIY” but that statement didn’t tell the whole story.
By the way the bloke got 10 years imprisonment.

I am pleased not too much stress for you, and yes it is a good job you didn’t kill anyone.
Saying that did you hear about that bloke who murdered his neighbour because of his constant DIY drilling, he knocked on his door and put a knife through his throat. Scary

Title: PETITION - anti-social behaviour

Thanks for your support Joseph, people always say to me that it is stigmatising all youth, but anti-social behaviour has no age limit and it is in fact effecting youth more than adults.
We have in our area a new skateboardind development going on and in a town near us over 2000 children campaigned for a skateboard park in their area and they are getting one now.
You could start a campaign for one, or do what I did and put a petition onto the Scottish Parliament Website, e-petitions, asking for a skateboard park in your area, go for it. “Shy bairns get nowt” Also put a comment on my e-petition saying why you have signed it.
If you need some advice on campaigning contact me.

Title: PETITION - anti-social behaviour

I have 162 signatories and 41 comments so far. Only 3 weeks to go to sign the petition.

Zipless, there are signitures from Spain; Australia; Wales; England; Northern Ireland, so another country would not hurt, the more the merrier I say.

Well zipless, if you look on the e-petition somebody has signed **** this ****england. Now that to me unbeknown to the person who wrote it, as they are probably thick, actually strengthens my petition and also encourages me to continue to persue this. I don’t know if the moderators are at work because I know Scottih Parliament are closed until the 18th, but it gives me time to print it.

Thanks Badkarma, what you experienced is a disgrace, but nowadays is accepted too readily by people, I have learned that whenever I haven’t been treated properly I write; telephone; email; etc to everybody and everyone who has to deal with it, takes a bit of time but in the end you get some positive results. People should not have to do this, but it seems to be the only way these days.

Exactly Alan, it is not just the thing that they’ve done to you, it’s like a domino effect and you only really want some immediate justice, but do not get it. Do you know what the worst thing is, is when the police have been called they say something stupid like, “oh you’re lucky we had to deal with somebody yesterday who had both windows smashed” That really gets me mad.

Deadsetgav, your response is understandable as the worst is that you know there will be no consequences to the person who did this even if caught, also some do gooders will think that’s not much of a crime but your consequences are:
1) The first thing you see when getting into your car is broken
2) If it’s raining your knackered to get to work
3) If you have a long journey you can’t clean your windscreen, which is a risk when driving to your own safety
4) You could be late for work
5) Your whole day is ruined as the incident will be playing on your mind, effecting your work
6) You need to get a new wiper and that is more expense.
7) When can you get the wiper, at dinner break, spoil you lunch
8)The knowledge that the toe rag who did this is probably still in bed with no worries and your paying taxes so he or she can lounge around
9) Will the same incident happen again tommorow
10) Paranoia sets in , looking out the window, who is near your car, some dipstick smurks at you as you drive near your house.

11;12;13…etc etc

That is the consequence and you haven’t even committed an offence. OPeople don’t understand this until it hsappens to them.

Title: PETITION anti-social; behaviour

Panzer, your suggestion has been done for the last 20 odd years, doesn’t work, but sounds good, a liberalist sound bite.

I have petitioned the following “Proposals to tackle anti-social behaviour” on the Scottish Parliament Website, e-petitions. The website for e-petition signatures; discussions; comments and information. I would be grateful if you could sign the petition.
