Am I bovvered?

[English assassin]

Another fun day in the youth court:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/crime/arti...740933,00.html

Britain's youngest drink-driver punched a prosecutor in the back, threw a jug of water at magistrates and hurled abuse at court officials as she was told she would be locked up for four months.
Proceedings at Newbury youth court stopped yesterday when Leanne Black, 14, kicked a chair over and lunged at prosecuting lawyer Lesley Gilmore.

The teenager raced around the courtroom swearing at officials and grappling with members of her family before security guards, who had been alerted when Mrs Gilmore pressed a panic button in the court, arrived and led her away

Black had arrived at court armed with eggs - to pelt photographers with - and her mother, Nora, also contributed to the day's events by sticking out her bottom for the cameras and saying "film this".

Black apologised to the court, its officials and Mrs Gilmore, and was told that because of her age there would be no further sentence for her outburst

Soooo, you can turn up at court prepared for a fracas, attack lawyers, judges and court staff, and get, err, no punishment whatsoever. Any parents of young children, or indeed anyone else with any common sense, want to comment on what message this will inevitably give young Ms Black about the importance of obeying authority?

Bring back the birch...

[Ja'chyra]

Lol, Chavs, don't you just love them.

I think this says a lot.

[Kraxis]

She shoud have gotten a few months extra for that.
It wasn't an outburst of a surprised person, but a prepared assault.

[Justiciar]

Ho ho! Paupers, eh?

[Avicenna]

The mum should definitely get some. Indecent exposure...

[Templar Knight]

Some people really need to get a job

[lancelot]

The funniest thing is the article says she was banned from driving at the age of 12 for 2 years...which would make her 14...

So in effect she would 'legally' be entitled to drive illegally at 14 years of age!?!?!

How funny is that??? You couldnt make that up if you wanted to...

No wonder this country is going to hell....our judges seem to have simple arithmatic problems for starters, as well as a dubious knowledge of basic motoring laws...oh well.

[Kralizec]

I guess that the idea behind the original sentence was that if she drove again, they would have legal grounds to punish her more harshly.

Lot of good that did.

[Taffy_is_a_Taff]

I get homesick and then I read the news...

[Marcellus]

Black apologised to the court, its officials and Mrs Gilmore, and was told that because of her age there would be no further sentence for her outburst

At 14 you should be able to realise that running around court attacking people and swearing is wrong. A further sentence should not have been discounted simply because of her age.

I wonder where she gets her disrepectful side from.

[Viking]

Such people make we wonder: Are they just plain stupid? Do they simply not care about what other people think of them? Or a combination?

[master of the puppets]

SEE SEE no one believes me when i tell them the world is going down the toilet (every day), but here we go, FUTURE TRAILER TRASH except british.

[Big King Sanctaphrax]

The fact that she came equipped for a melee would seem to indicate she should most definitely be punished.

[GoreBag]

Oh, big deal. She made a mockery of the court. Cry me a river.

[Radier]

What is a chav?

And that child and her mother do have serious issues.

[Marcellus]

What is a chav?

[BDC]

Don't worry, she'll be in prison/stuck with a bunch of kids soon...

[Craterus]

We need a FINAL SOLUTION for the chav problem.

[Viking]

Oh, big deal. She made a mockery of the court. Cry me a river.

It`s not like it happens that often.

[caravel]

Yea, I feel sorry for the other prisoners and her future sprogs. Well I will feel sorry for them until they're also horrible little chavs themselves, vandalising and abusing everything in sight and making the next series of happy slap videos.

Chavs are Britain's peasant underclass. They're now impossible to avoid unless you live in a really upper class area, go every where by car and rarely step outside your house anyway. They are largely aggressive, uneducated, uncultured moronic, promiscuous, desensitised yobs, that only think about themselves and their next fix of tobacco, alcohol or drugs, and have absolutely no fashion sense whatsoever but actually think that they do and that in fact the rest of the planet doesn't. They are not creative only destructive. There is not an ounce of good will in any of them, only derision and paranoid aggression. Beauty or art is lost on them. A nature reserve is a useful rubbish tip, and a grass verge would make a good car park. Their homes are disgusting smelly tips, their children unruly, uneducated, bullying yobs, yet they can afford cable/sattelite TV, DVD player, mobile phones (sometimes 2 or more per chav), lots of tacky looking gold jewellery, designer clothes (usually the sports type that has the name plastered all over in huge letters), large widescreen tv's, stereos and games consoles, and often can even afford to run a car. All of this is usually paid for by the tax payer of course, who also support the 5 or 6 children.

They always see themselves as the victim, it's not their fault that they beat some poor devil up and robbed him, while filming it on their phones... I mean they're bored! There's nothing for them to do, and they've no opportunities! Their parents beat them up also! They had a rough time, so try to understand! It's the governments fault! It's the police's fault, immigrants are to blame! Anyone, but not the chavs themselves. They need to be sent on a nice holiday somewhere to try and rehab them. Not a problem, the taxpayer can foot the bill for this, I mean they pay their social security anyway so paying for some youth development schemes and sports facilities for bored chavs won't hurt will it? And when it's covered in graffiti and burnt to the ground the good old taxpayer can pay again to get it rebuilt! Chavs are stealing cars, racing them around and burning them out, before abandoning them for, guess who? the good old taxpayer to foot them bill for their removal and scrapping. What is the solution to this? No? OMG... you don't know?? Of course, well let me explain, we build dirt tracks and go-karting tracks so that the chavs can race cars legally, because not having this facility was forcing them to steal and burn out someone elses cars! Such a simple solution, and all at the cost to the taxpayer!

And what can the hard working taxpayer do about this? The simple matter is absolutely nothing. These scum will get away with light sentences time and time again. Hit them, and you will be the criminal, you will go to prison. Report them to the police for their abuse and they torment you until you are forced to move out, take them to court and get one of their little scum convicted and they will scream abuse at you from the public gallery. Authority is weak, nothing they do is challenged, there is no discipline. If they cause a problem on a housing estate or in public transport, people cannot do anything. To do so could cause more trouble than it's worth.

How can you expect an ill disciplined people that have no self respect, and take pride in nothing, to respect anyone else or take pride in anything?

[Crazed Rabbit]

You heartless people! I hope she gets a good setup in prison with a big TV and a PS2, and an XBox 360 if she's good.

Crazed Rabbit

P.S. Seriously, something's rotten in the state of Denmark.

Excellent. Couldn't have put it better myself.

[yesdachi]

Chav = White trash in American?

[Al Khalifah]

Not quite trailer trash, think the mental capacity and fashion sense of trailer trash - but in urban areas.

They are in many ways quite a paradox:
On the one hand, they always hang around in large gatherings - yet they are accused of being anti-social.
They are often poor, yet often covered in gold and using the latest consumer electronics.
The boys are often very lanky in appearance - yet they only eat beans, sausage and chips for every meal.
The girls are often extra large - yet they wear size small clothes.
Their favorite musicians are often black R&B/Urban artists - yet they are often racist and unreceptive to other cultures.
They claim a hatred of the French and Germans - yet they all drive old Astras, Corsas, 106s, 206s, Clios designed like mutton dressed up as lamb.
They claim a hatred of the Spanish - yet they all go to the Balaeric Islands on holiday.
They claim to be streetwise and hard as nails - yet they constantly seemed to get assaulted and raped.
They all claim to have a cousin who is in prison for hospitalising Mike Tyson, who's 6ft 8 tall and 6ft 8 wide, who will come and kill you if you so much as touch them - yet their cousin, if they are actually in prison, is really there for pinching batteries from Tesco and if they were indeed in prison, would they really be allowed day release for the purpose of killing you? (I presume they'd probably just punch through the walls or kill the guards).
A group will shout at you from a distance about how you are a faggot and a coward (not in those exact words) - yet if you approach them to try and prove them wrong, they scatter like the pigeons in Trafalger Square.

As for this girl, well, maybe child labour isn't all that bad - I told you we shouldn't close the workhouses.

[Samurai Waki]

Perhaps we should reinstitutionalize Flogging as a means of punishment...

For the Girl's little outburst in court...90 Lashes from the Cat-o-nine-tails.

[master of the puppets]

oh, i like that wakizashi, i like that a lot.
so really there like quasi-gangster, hmm american or british there All idiotic.

They are often poor, yet often covered in gold and using the latest consumer electronics.

oh yeah they're those people alright. Can't feed there kids but 400 dollar cell phone.

[Papewaio]

War, Draft, Cannon Fodder.



Problem solved.

[Louis VI the Fat]

I stumbled upon this:

A description of Paris, from http://chavtowns.co.uk/

Cultural cross-pollenisation at its best?

"Oh Mon Dieu. I've lived here for nine years now and becoming more and more common than dog-shit on the Paris streets is the French Chav. Or 'jeunes de la cité' (Kids of the council estates). They are alarmingly similar to their British counterpart. 'Designer' track suits tucked into white socks covered by blinding white trainers. Bloody baseball caps. Whispy moustaches. Cheap cigarettes. Bad breath. Children to teenage mothers called 'Kevin' or 'Cindy' (I kid you not). And loads of bling.
Those ridiculous handshakes that involve only the fingers to begin with, then a nuckle punch, and then a slap of the open hand over the heart. Pathetic, and useless. The more extreme Chav might sport a bandana under his cap. Too cool, man. Like flies around said dogshit they congregrate around 'MacDo's' or KFC, where it appears necessary to spit constantly, smoke, make irritating rap gestures, ask passersby for money and lear at blond women ( a high percentage of them are African or Arabs). Paris scum.
Where the simpletons hang out.
Chatalet, in the centre of town. Absolute pondlife. Chav centrale. Bling shops, porno cinemas, 'rap' gear, little young sluts looking to produce a 'braaaahn' baby, McDonald's, Pizza Huts, KFCs. Thrown into this, shit hip-hop record shops blaring out the usual rubbish, tourists, sex-fiends, drud addicts and you've got a bit of Paris that will give you memories you'll take to the grave. Truly wretched and horrible. Thieving is par for the course.
The Bastille.
Another Chav stronghold. Once cradle of the Revolution. Now a cess-pit of Chav slime. Disappointing during the day, it's seriously dangerous at night. Roaming packs of kebab- wielding Chav scum looking for fights or tourists to rob. Predictable fights in the Taxi queues. Loads of bling and tracksuits almost blind you so you don't notice your walet is being nicked.
The breeding ground.
St Denis in northern Paris around the new Stade de France.
It's like the Chav equivelent of the Alien nest in Aliens that Ripley destroys by torching it (hey, that gives me an idea...).
Three places in the City of Light to avoid, folks.
It's speading so fast it's terrifying. God in heaven, save us all from Chavs."

[Samurai Waki]

Is it just me...or is it the way these idiots were parented when they grew up? When I was young I got disciplined for doing bad things, and whenever I go to the store now I see some young kid screaming and crying because he can't get his favorite video game, and she'll say something like "if you stop crying, I'll buy you the game"... if I did that when I was a kid my mom would've smacked me and told me to be silent, and that I wouldn't get to have dessert for dinner. I think people are letting their kids get out of control, and this problem needs to be stamped out immediately.

[Crazed Rabbit]

Discipline has gone to rot. The parents are to blame, and the state, in some situations, for trying to raise the children.

And, is it legal to wear a sword or carry a wrench when walking in the city? Something makes me doubt it (and that you'd be arrested in England for having a weapon).
