  1. We are surrounded by Violence in this Country now more than ever before, its on the STREETS its on the TV its on the Internet etc and because there are No Deterrents or Punishments that fit the Crimes, criminals are not scared. Plus the fact is that our Police Force are not fit for purpose?. Even if given a Prison sentence, it has no affect on anyone, as nowadays' that again has become a soft option😮

  2. Sending love and prayers to the family of the poor gentleman. God, this is horrific. How could this happen? This was an actual murder… with intent. I do feel for our police forces all over the UK, with what they have to deal with, on a daily basis, but this gentleman had had prior contact with them about these issues, so it doesn't surprise me that they have referred themselves to the appropriate body for examination of this incident. Such a sad, sad story, with many lives being affected. What a broken world we live in. And at times, corruption is at the core of it. Tragic😢

  3. This is terrible
    If my condolences reach those affected by these awful actions
    Please please accept then in the spirit in which they are offered from your brother's and sisters throughout the country I hope this message gives a tiny bit of comfort. God's speed to your relative

  4. Idk why people are just assuming, we can guess it was the teenagers that were the agressors, but unless we hear exactly what the circumstances were, why jump to conclusions? Some 80year olds are vile and you wouldn't believe it but some also have huge dogs that are agressive too. Often small agressive dogs.
    Kids over done it on defence?
    Or were they really evil terrors?
    Rather hear both sides than a Police propaganda story

  5. This story just baffled me, so I looked for some help to explain it.

    Journal of Clinical Psychology, July 1990, Vol. 46, No. 4

    In summary, adolescents who killed came from violent, aggressive families, lived in a peer environment with gang participation, had severe educational difficulties, and alcohol abuse. From a large sample size that used a broad array of diagnostic and evaluative, physical, psychological, psychiatric, educational and social procedures, the homicidal juvenile can be differentiated with these four symptoms: most importantly, criminal family violence and gang participation, but also alcohol abuse and severe educational difficulties.

  6. Note to the Police it is not reassuring to the local People for you to swamp the area with Police officers when the Elderly Gentleman has already kicked to Death fifty yards from his front door !

  7. A lot has to do with their parents but 25yrs ago when internet was becoming a thing and video games came about. They said it would have a negative effect. Children have become so desensitised to violence from video games that this violence does not shock anymore.
    I feel so sorry for the younger generations and the future.
