What is happening to society?

The nature of crime and violence has changed though, and nowadays there is much more chance of people encountering random violence, either in town centres while out drinking, or walking through dodgy parts of town at night.

Crime, violence and scrotes have always been there of course, but imo the nature of it is getting worse, with few taboos.

The whole point is: no it isn't. Every available reasonably reliable stat (I appreciate that crime stats are towards the unreliable end already) says that crime is generally on the decrease, but that the fear of crime is constantly on the increase. That's the point. Your "feeling" that crime is going up is a (wrong) perception, not the reality. Again: better dissemination of news, and the tendency of the media to pounce on crime stories, makes people think crime is going up, whereas is is noticeably down on the 1970s, and a tiny fraction of what it has been for most of history. The much-fabled 1950s were a hot-bed of crime for instance, but the papers seldom reported it. And Victorian times were a horror show.

Just blame the bankers and Ed Balls.

Just an update on this. These guys have been caught

They went on to do another 2 home invasions before being caught, One house they hit, had a mother, daughter in law, baby and a down syndrome child, thugs gone in and started hammering the womens feet.

Now do you want to know the sick part? and any guesses who the culprits were for the above incident.

Was my first thought.

I could imagine leaving it unlocked, but I wouldn't leave it 'ajar' or 'to'...

What? Why?

You really wouldn't leave your front door ajar for half an hour while you were downstairs in your house in case men came in your house, beat you up, and stole your stuff?

That possibility would even cross your mind?

It sounds to me like they might have been targeting her house. So I wonder even if the door was closed that the white guy wouldn't have just knocked, waited for her to open and then pushed in to do the same thing.

OOps

Very close relative. He went in 1st under the guise of visiting the baby.

Proper sick ****, considering how close cousins they are. His dad and the man of the other house are brothers. So essentially he was hammering the feet of his first cousins wife. You couldnt make it up.

The most suprising thing about it, is how much of a dweeb this guy is. I mean, say boo and he'll run a mile type dweeb.

Edit: And the were both asian by the way, in the OP said one white dude and an asian guy. He was just light skinned, but asian none the less. Lives at the bottom of my street. Both about 16 years old.
