You: “A man that lived on my street died last Thursday, 2 weeks after being beat down in the street by some thugs, at random for no reason.”
Me: So sorry about your neighbor. It sounds like something, I was reading the other day. Supposedly, there is a new “game” the gangs are playing called “knockout”. It involves choosing a gang “game” leader from the members and then choosing a random victim, who will be charged at by the leader and his followers and then hit on the head until the victim is knocked out. And if the victim doesn’t become immediately unconscious, they savagely beat, punch and kick the victim until the victim loses consciousness. The only intention seems to be to see how quickly they can knock someone out. Such a sickness...or should call it what it really and truthfully is? Evil. And thus we are back to liberalism which does not acknowledge that evil exists thus cruelty is a symptom of social illness not an actual state of immorality. Bah Humbug to that way of thinking...
I agree - there is an increasing amount of what seems to be random violence in the UK. I think its a very bad sign. There are a large number of people in a kind of underclass who just have no respect, no hope, no work ethic, no future and no loyalty to the culture whatsoever. Its bad enough when criminals beat people up to get their money, or because they are the wrong race, but you can kind of understand that (if not approve of it) But there are people now whose main motivation to violence is simple boredom. That really is the sign of a sick society.
