OK, I'm not saying violent crime is boring nor unimportant. I'm saying posting threads about specific violent crime is boring. Once you've said it's shocking, terrible, lock them up, hang them, castrate them what else is there to say? Nowt, as this thread has amply proven. It's totally, utterly pointless. And therefore boring.
And no the fact that violent crime is rising is certainly not commendable. The fact that other crime undoubtedly is, is commendable (though tabloid readers struggle to accept this because they are fed a daily dose of crime outrage; just press the right buttons, much like this thread). But we need to understand why violent crime is increasing rather than just posting the same old lazy, kneejerk, banal 'what's happening to this country?' tosh.
So, I ask again - is there anything new to say that hasn't been said on all the very many other threads of this ilk?
Just my opinion of course. And I only entered this thread because my name was mentioned in despatches, which will be your faultt I believe Punky
