Caught on camera: The cruel taunts of teenagers that killed man with learning difficulties
Daily Mail ^ | 3/12/10 | James Tozer and Carol Driver

These haunting pictures show the extent to which a man with learning difficulties suffered 17 years of torment at the hands of youths, before he collapsed and died in his garden.

A film captured on a mobile phone shows how David Askew's agitators would stand inches from his garden fence and hurl abuse at him.

On Wednesday the 64-year-old could take no more and, as he tried to protect his property, he suffered a suspected heart attack and died on the spot.

I’m the farthest from being anti-gun, but no one can shoot someone for being taunted.

"If more people took care of issues like this we wouldn’t end up with so many juvenile prisoners."

This is one of the many bitter fruits of liberalism.
I see it in my own extended family.
If I speak the truth, and say, "What those kids need is a good ass-whippin."
Holy Crap! All eyes as big as saucers!
From what I understand, if you take your kid to the woodshed.
His teachers may take you to the hoosegow.

I'm afraid we're doomed, because I don't see any path back to sanity, when damn near everyone's insane.

While standing in line to checkout at Home Depot one day, I watched a five-year old throw threaten to embarrass his mother with a temper tantrum. He said something to the effect of, “I’ll lay down and scream until I get it.”

She got down face to face with him and told him that she’d bust his rear end in front of everyone if he did. She got lots of dirty looks from those standing nearby, which seemed to encourage the boy’s attitude.

Well, he went for it. And she kept her word. When she was finished, I said, “You’re a good mother,” and clapped loudly. Then a few people around me started clapping.

The proud mom smiled all the way out of the store and the little boy’s face was red with embarrassment. I bet he learned a lesson.

"Chief Inspector of Constabulary Denis O'Connor said forces' performance was 'inadequate' with more than half unable to identify repeat victims.

This left officers ignorant of some of the most vulnerable people, often the disabled.

The issue was highlighted by the death of Fiona Pilkington, who called 999 on 33 occasions, only for police in Leicestershire to fail to link or prioritise the cries for help.

Driven to despair, she took her life and that of her disabled daughter Francecca Hardwick."

How's that 'disarmed citizenry' thing workin' out? Some of the best shotguns made in the world are from the UK. Way past time to re-arm your citizens. At least give them a fighting chance ... Just damn.
