They should reinstitute and old custom, the stocks, im sure market traders and other shops would supply plenty of grossly gone off produce as amunition for the masses.
They deserve punishment the first time round, shame reallyYou are kind of right. However the law is getting better and they get a shock when they are suddenly tried in the adult court with multiple asbos. Something usually happens then.


how old are you?
They might get an asbo which they seem to regard as a badge of honour or some other slap on the wrist with luxuriously padded and soft gloves when they really need a kicking. Only two good things came out of this you not seriously injured or robbed.



ah, I live a bit farther west of there....take care walking there in the future!
Yeah, I know Oxford is generally quite a safe place, it's just that in the last week, 12 of my friends have been attacked, plus me. Another friend has also received death threats. Several other people I know have also been attacked.

Seriously, what are you doing to attract all this negative attention with your friends then?


Also, all the chavs are on holiday as well, and doing the same stuff as us.
I'm not trying to be funny or anything but I did chuckle a little at how you described the dude as "held a knife out in a menacing way"![]()

I got jumped once by a bunch of kids from another school when walking home after my mocks, as long as you walk away from it you'll laugh about it later![]()

this is terribly sad and concerning indeed. If you're not safe in Oxford, then where are you safe?
Again, is there some odd reason why you're (plural) getting targeted? eg. obvious things like being 'posh' and going to a private school? Perhaps you're a goth? I dunno...
But what I do know is that I feel terribly annoyed that this is going on. I sincerely hope that you're all alright though.
I have long hair and was wearing a Superdry hoody and slightly skinny jeans. I can see why they might attack me, even though there isn't a good reason!
