I am not familiar with British law, but in the US you could get in real serious trouble for beating up a minor. Self Defense is allowed, but only commesurate to the degree of danger posed.

That said, to what those kids did.

No body would do much to you if you fought because of the slurs they used, Shi.

What you do is you don't run at them, you just start to walk towards them, very relaxed, with this look on your face that NOTHING is going to stop you walking toward them and showing them what's what.

Good times.

BTW their youth is no excuse... The only people I know who were the type to do that at that age all turned out to be losers.

Uh, be carefull with little kids...
In some neighbourhoods here it is costum that kids aged 8-14 yell insults on passing youth (16-25) or throw some stones or do whatever is needed to get you mad. Than when you react in some manner. Some bigger kids (16-25) come out in paks to protect their poor little brothers... including their honor - like when you yelled some insults back you gonna pay compensation or get punished...
talking about modern street robbery

Seems like their parents did a great job in teaching their kids to hate people who are different.

'Kids' being the keyword, people arn't born fully formed adults, if the same things are happenning at 18 then we have problems, but until then its no biggie.

Well they need some 'aversion therapy' to behaving like they do, if you know what I mean

If they hadn't been throwing rocks, I would have stared them down and tried to talk some sense into them.

Oh wait, I did do that.

DanielXY, and that's when you beat them as well!

Those kind of tactics are one of the most honor lacking as it can get. This is were you need to have a gun, so you can gather them around, teach them about respecting other people.

At Christmas the other year we were having our dinner at my uncle's place, and after an advert featuring Elton Jon being wackily camp, his 10 year-old nephew said that he wished "all gays were shot".

Ah, kiddies...

I remember when i was 13... me and a friend where harrassing some old couple by stealing things out of their lawn and throwing it into other people's. The guy saw us one time, came out, and kicked me right in the ass. I think he must've been 70 or 80 years old too.

I think that if a person with enough Common Sense decides to stone the **** out of somebody, then they ought to get as many friends as they have in town, get a pile of rocks, and stone the mutha to death.

I hate LA. The closest thing to a public stoning we get around here is when some homeless guy lights up a joint.

When we're rowing in cambridge (especially during pikey season, read Midsummer Fair and Strawberry Fair), we get all kind of **** (sometimes literally..) thrown at us. The girls crews get verbally harassed.

It usually ends when one first crew has enough and pulls over and gets out. There's something about 8 six and half foot, 15st+ guys approaching menacingly that seems to induce the fight or flight repsonse in young pikeys. It usually ends in flight
