When I see some of the yobs in the street, I still cringe to think they waste away so many hours on crime and are sitting on benefit money. Out in Trowbridge near Rumney, there's a council estate right next to a college campus. Students are constantly threatened by kids on the street, often with weapons, and almost weekly they'll have a car broken into despite having tight security.

Just three weeks ago, some teenagers jumped the nursery wall and tore up the garden that the staff and <4 year old children had been making. They then spray painted the walls with vulgar grafitti.

I understand these kids are bored. They think school is a joke, they don't need jobs because they can steal/scam benefit. But when they were given a place to go and something to do - they tore that up as well. There is something seriously wrong when we keep producing these destruction chavs who are so intent on ruining their environment that they'll tear up their own doorsteps for fun.

In the movie Outlaw, it handled the adult side of things. People who get away with crap - because they can. But the problem is seriously focused in our kids. I am glad that at least its a minority but those kinds of council estates need serious work. Apparently, the local police won't patrol them because they recieve abuse. WTF?!?! When these kids can intimidate police its time to stand up to them and show them there's a higher power. Not back down.

Yhorian.
