wish someone would just turn round and deck scum like this.
Last week I walked through hoglands about 9.30 and a black youth approached me and asked for a pound saying it was for bus fare, I pointed out that he was sitting on a bicycle and he said it was a friends.
When I walked away he gave me a load of abuse and said I was a racist,there were at least 5 or 6 of them, luckily I am a big guy so it didnt go any further, but some patrols are definitely needed in this area.
