Our increasing violent society

Yet another savage, brutal and vicious attack, not carried out by gangs of men, in some bough of London or on the back streets of Manchester, but by a gang of up to 10 young girls (the so called gentle sex), on Plymouth Hoe of all places.

These sub-human females burned her with a cigarette, stamping on her face and poured chemicals into her eyes, because she allegedly lied to them about having a miscarriage.

Gang member Melissa Rowe, became involved and liquid eye liner was poured into the victim’s eyes, she then kicked her between the legs and she and Barber walked up and down on her stomach.

Barber was sentenced to 5 years and Rowe given a ten month sentence suspended for two years and ordered to do 200 hours unpaid community work..

Makes that 'fire extinguisher throwing' student's sentence seem rather harsh in the circumstances.

I see yet again drugs were involved (the main person was high on drugs).

I notice yesterday AOG you commented on the man (who wants to be woman) who was peddling drugs and his/her sentence was deferred until his operation was sorted out.

I agree with you that pushing drugs is a VERY serious business and causes untold misery. Some countries (Thailand, Saudi etc) let it be known that importing and pushing drugs is taken very seriously, but we in the UK seem fairly soft on it.

Personally, due to the misery it brings (crime, violence etc), I would bring back the death penalty for anyone importing or pushing drugs.

Gang mentality - very sad and a horrible story. What drug - btw - is miaouw miaouw?

Broken families or families without any "good" role model. That is the only reason.

Yes, vibrasphere, that's the one. It was a legal high until recently

Parts of Plymouth are really tough areas, as are other parts of Devon towns. I live in a rural village and the types of people involved in this dreadful news item simply don't exist here - yet!
