[Football] Mindless vandalism of a defibrillator at Buxted FC

[Chicken Run]

Absolute disgrace - you just know the sort of scummy family they are. And sorry but no surprise their kid has a gut like that too. Yes I am judging and no I don’t feel bad as I know I’m right

They looked like Irish Travellers to me, no masks in the restaurant.

Maybe I have lived a sheltered life. I understand kids (and older morons) are responsible for vandalism and reckless ruining of peoples property but that video looked very deliberate and determined. Making a point of ripping it apart and stamping all over it?

Seriously? WTF…..

Also not trying to downplay what has happened to Buxted FC or come across flippant. If anyone has a donation link to help replace the defibrillator then will gladly donate.

There’s a link to a donation fund in post 141.

It only takes one conspiracy nut to ruin a thread about a serious topic….

I think that what they have one is disgusting but I don't think prison is the answer. I don't go by the 'we all make mistakes, so we should forgive them because we were all young & stupid once' bit either. The ideal 'punishment' would be a quick lesson in what their actions could have caused. I'd start them off by, as someone else suggested, them becoming a HCA on a cardiac ward for a few shifts. Then working them 'up' so that they help out at the BHF charity shop, they take a 1st aid course & they learn exactly what a defibrillator does. It costs a fortune for prison, it costs a fortune to do the stuff above but on balance I think that the long term cheaper option is education. It's tempting to suggest to take them to a morgue to see outcomes but that might cross all ethical boundaries!
Edit to add... that there is probably no hope for the seafront and cafe couple. Their kids and dogs should be taken into care, they're old enough to know better and are obviously quite experienced at being *****.

No won’t do that as it will be against their human rights and subjecting them to a trauma would be bad for their mental health.

Told off and given unconditional discharge.

They will be hero’s with their mates when their own video is uploaded to tic toc, Instagram etc.

So what is the consensus here....

Burn them?

Hang them?

Impale them?

Birch them?

National service?

Let them go after a telling off?

After careful consideration and reflecting on this as rationally as possible, they should be drawn backwards from here to the tower, be tied up a ladder with a nice cozy bonefire lit somewhere below and then have some kind gentleman join them up there with a dirk.

That’ll learn em.

bottom of the Harbour basin locked in a caravan's too good for 'em.

 

[Is it PotG?]

They wouldn't do it again

So you haven’t a clue and are trying to hide it with police puns.

Nice baiting.

I think you would know what I would do.

Very wise and sensible.

It's always funny on these threads how usually so called "liberal" posters turn full authoritarian with added lynch mob mentality.

Nobody needs to think of an appropriate punishment, we have a police force and a legal system that does it for us! They've been caught red handed and a magistrate will think of an appropriate and proportionate punishment.

 

[Klaas]

I realise this isn't the most relevant observation to the discussion but it made me laugh that the Dail Mail use fahrenheit in their story. How many shillings did they steal from the tip jar?

So another tongue in cheek response because you haven’t a clue. Of course there is the possibility that your preferred method of punishment is stoning ……

Youths under 18 cannot be named unless the judge allows it.

Yup. And it's about time that law went.

If you are above the age of criminal responsibility and you are arrested and charged then the whole world should know. Why is a 17 year old "protected" in this way?

These scumbags need some form of public humiliation - name and shame as would have happened if they had been a few months older.

Praise the lord for our police force and legal system.........because they work so well eh?

The law is in place to protect youngsters who make mistakes, wrong choices or just get into trouble. It means their future isn't forever tainted by something they did when young.
For more serious crimes the judge will allow the name to be known or even published. That's why it is an option rather than abolishing the law altogether.

Cut their goolies off.

 

[Sheebo]

The cynic in me says that video was setup... I don't know of any young folk who would deliberately make a point of smashing up and stamping on the defibrillator like that. Call me Mr conspiracy but something's not right. Wondering how it has 2.3 mil views in less than 24 hours aswell? Strikes me as a setup Daily Mail type article getting the old hating the youth of today.

I reckon [MENTION=457]sheebo[/MENTION] might have something to add………

Ok ok - you got us. But please keep it to yourself. Took me hours to hack Sussex police Twitter to post about the arrest and they’ve still not realise (morons) - the actors aren’t even from Sussex, so the plan has worked a treat

What about all those suggesting the boys' names should be kept anonymous, and that they should be helped rather than punished by life-changing (and
possibly life-ending) imprisonment? If anything this thread is awash with the opposite of what yoiu claim.

I agree with your second point. And how absurd it is to criticise the sentence as too lenient (or too severe) before we know what the sentence is? Albeit after we know what the sentence is, we have a right to comment.

Mind you, I have not seen any 'liberals' 'turning' 'authoritarian'. Who do you have in mind? What makes someone a 'liberal' and how is that incompatible with condemining the vandalism of a defibrillator? I think I normally like you posts but I'm a long way from with you on this occasion
