I used to dress like a lot of people are mentioning in here, really baggy jeans and hoodies, band t-shirts, that sort of thing. After a while though I realised I just looked stupid and prefer not to stand out and attract needless abuse.
These people who dress like that know that there are **** like them scallies out there who take pleasure in stamping on people's heads, I dont see why a lot of them choose to keep attracting largely negative attention. I think a lot of the wearing the gothic clothes and things is about provoking a reaction and then they moan about it when they get beaten up. As already said, they claim to not conform and be individual but they're really just conforming to another standard.
Having said that, I think even this young couple got unlucky, and thats an understatement, the people that seem to be all over the place now, anyone on here stands quite a significant chance of gettin a severe beating when they go to the shops to get milk, nevermind when they're wearing t-shirts that say things like "Satan Rocks" or whatever.
I'm not saying these people deserved it, far from it, I think there are enough discussions about scallies out there who never learnt that punching someone long after they pass out is a bad thing and no matter how much people post on forums saying "they're lucky I didnt..." and how they should be hung drawn and quatered etc. The facts of the matter is they are out there, you know that stepping out your door so you should be trying not to give them a reason to target you. I see a gang of scallies, I put my head down and keep walking.
You can give it all your "why should we let them intimidate us" and all that and I would agree with you, in principle. But is that worth what you know and hear about almost everyday happening to you, for the sake of keeping your head down, minding your own business, and even running away?
