Default Sunbather set on fire

Quote:
Police are searching for a group of up to four teenage boys who set fire to a man as he lay asleep while sunbathing in a park.

The 37-year-old victim, who suffered serious burns to his back, was attacked in Kirkdale, Merseyside, last night.

Police said he was woken shortly before 8pm by an intense pain in his back and found himself on fire. They believe he was attacked by a gang of four youths who set his clothes on fire and ran off.

People like these kids need to be locked away for a long time, little bastards

Have to say I'm slightly relieved, as I thought you were going to say he spontaneously combusted from sunbathing too much.
Still...it's for people like this we need to bring back humiliating, painful punishments. I'll go get my pineapple.

Comedy Gold.

Ok ok it's not funny but it is if you get me.
On a comedy show that would be superb but obviously taking to irl is a tad extreme.

This, I thought you were going to quote the Daily Sport as a source.

Poor bastard.

I would say I hope they catch the little sh*ts that did this but they'd get a slap on the wrist and a "Oh don't do that again"

What the hell is up with kids these days? Our "bit of fun" was trying to play in the hay in a farmers field and not get caught

I used to love playing in the hay - for some reason we genuinely believed our make shift "spears" (Those long plant stems with the fluffy bit on the end) would fend off the tractor if he came to 'get us'.



Kids are being brought up with such a lack of discipline - the fear of parental reprimand was so terrifying to me as a child!

A tad extreme?! Saying setting someone on fire is a tad extreme is like saying a mass murderer is a tad violent :/ Not funny at all IMO.

So many kids these days are an absolute disgrace and they all come from the same areas. I don't understand how the country can take such a massive shift in such a short time. I'm only 25 years old and stuff like this was incredibly rare only 10 years ago, and there were no 'chavs' so to speak.

The young culture around here is an absolute disgrace, as is Merseyside and Birmingham. The little bastards need locking up but our over friendly government is worried because our prisons are full. Here's an idea... BUILD MORE.
