Love at first bite
Another biter. There seems to be a spate of this of late. Zero self control and a real danger of passing on some hideous infection.
this is the consequences of having a bunch of hand wringing lefty do gooders in the school system, teaching these kids that they are all winners and there are no real consequences for their bad behaviour and no one ever says no to them.
They arrive in the adult world with this view of the world and get a cold hard shock, when they realise that there are losers, there are consequences and people do say NO and mean it.
the teachers, academia, parents and social services are all responsible for the failure to prepare these kids for life as adults.
I hope he had something to eat before releasing him, not to worry, World War 3 is very very near…
Hope your grandson starves
Hope your granddaughter starves
Just remember…. fear is a great control mechanism…
The offender is 25 not a child or even a teenager. I would venture, you have no idea what goes on in schools, or how teachers go about their business.
Of course they don’t. Typical right wing authoritarian who thinks beating kids is the best way of turning them into decent adults when, in fact, the opposite is true.
Islander is, if anything, an indicator themselves of the lamentable state of their own education.
No Not beating but they need discipline don’t they ,and learn to be law abiding citizens or there is no hope. Teachers need to be strict with them or the other kids suffer,if there allowed to be
From first hand experience (as a parent) I can tell you there is discipline in schools, some teachers are stricter than others, but that has always been the case.
It worked in the sixties when I was at school, no drugs or misbehaving in the school’s then…..Now society is much much more violent, and that’s down to the far left fascist…knife crime is just one example….
That’s right… young people were not going drugs in the 60’s LOL
Wrong comment for this forum I would suggest lol. Must people on here are stuck in the dark ages.
Bull. Total bull.
Evidence shows that kids learn violence from their parents.
Absolute nonsense.
At 25 you are responsible for yourself, you’ve been in the big wide world for a little while and should know right from wrong. This is a decision he made and he will suffer the (minor) consequences. It’s really irritating that as soon as any young person does something wrong the blame instantly goes directly to the parents. There are some bad parents out there, but I believe they are the minority.
Now we have a living Count Dracula on the island, what ever next!
Personally, I prefer feet, but to each their own
Perhaps he wanted a refund and the shop policy is no cash refunds, which is actually against consumer rights. Just Saying…..
Refund policies has nothing to do with this, then he gets bailed for 3 months, why so long, mental health assessment and two statements to take, should be a fortnight tops.
No it’s not
It is not against consumer rights at all.
If the product is faulty you are entitled to a full refund as long as you provide a receipt.
If you simply change your mind or got the wrong size you can do an exchange or get the exact amount as store credit.
Just saying…..
personally I feel like you should do your research before commenting on things. Legally a company doesn’t have to give you your money back unless the item is faulty. If this is the case the company wouldn’t exist and have as many business as it does 🙂
Hopefully the victim of the bite will seek medical assistance re concerns of virus transfer hiv/ hep b and a load more, wish the police could introduce Hannibal lecter masks to prevent further bites being taken on others before the person is release under investigation
Well stark reminder ,no refund is not against consumer rights unless goods are faulty
When you cut funding in social services you get an influx of people on the streets with real mental health issues, which include not being able to control their anger in public. Have a look at what has happened in the US when the closed all the loony bins. And it’s happening here as the Tories think the best way to fix this countries issues is to spend less. Considering the education level of the average Tory voter, no surprise their math does not add up.
What like Dianne Abbott’s maths?
I hope that he wasn’t biting ‘the hand that feeds him!’
What’s the world coming too. You can’t even bite a person now. It dosen’t happen without an incident to begin. If a 42 year old can’t manage a belligerent young person without running to the police it’s a poor do. I wonder how he got within mouth range
Probably get off, as it identifies as a Dog Furries have rights you know.
If this is the case maybe it should be put down, vicious animal.
That’s hilarious and so true with the wok society these days !
The Island is no longer Dinosaur Isle,
