Neighbours said Mr Askew had been targeted before he was found dead at his home in Hattersley, Greater Manchester, last night. One neighbour said he had been ‘tormented to death - like bear baiting’. Residents criticised police and officials for not supporting Mr Askew and his brother Brian and mother Rose, who was wheelchair-bound. Officers were called to the address last night after being told yobs were causing an ‘annoyance’. When they arrived the youths had vanished but officers discovered Mr Askew collapsed in his back garden.

And yet these ‘neighbours’ knew this was going on for ten years and they did... what?
This sort of thing is enough to make anyone question as to whether or not God really does exist.
I live in a town where seniors seem to make up the bulk of the population. Us 45 year old youngsters would never allow this to happen to one of our neighbors.
My very first question. They share the identical guilt as the yobs.
and no right to keep and bear arms either
Don't be silly. They would have been prosecuted and jailed if they took any action. They need a revolution to purge the government of pc thought before acting out to help one another.
On this very forum, in numerous postings, I have read about Brits who stood up to yobs, and in defense of others or themselves, had a physical altercation, sometimes leading to the death of the yob, when it was clearly life or death for the innocent citizen defending themselves. In every instance, the UK police and legal establishment came down on that innocent like a ton of bricks, and destroyed their life.
I’m sure many of his neighbours knew that. In England, you are not allowed to confront thugs, or the bigger thugs in uniform will get you.
That’s what comes of socialism. They kids probably don’t have any jobs or any interest in working.
Too bad Mr. Askew didn’t have a luger. Betcha those kids wouldn’t have bothered him anymore if had one of those.
