    I'm actually outraged that the OP mentioned that the assailants were guys. By doing so the implication is that their negative actions are something to do with their gender.

    yeah, and their age, they could have been a gang of old grannies and still been kicking someone's head in..

    OP, How is the boy that was attacked? Do you know?


    Best question in the whole thread.
    What if there was no such thing as a rhetorical question?

    Well not sure how the young lad is as husband couldn't stop long as he needed to pick the kids up from school, when he left the lad was just coming round but very dazed n unbalanced, the police were tending to him until the ambulance arrived, he did get a bad kick to the head and was bleeding from the ear and cut across his face but that's when husband intervened or I guess he coulda been alot worse

    teabag - well done to your OH - he truly is a hero! you had taken out the reference to colour in the OP, so I was a bit puzzled why it seemed to be an issue. But, if you had said they were youths, would that have been 'ageist' or had tatts and wore leather, 'biker prejudiced'. it was a fact you were reporting. I didn't read anything racist in the rest of it.
    Some people on here just LOVE to pick apart a post for something they can criticise or report you for.

    I doubt many knuckle draggers are reading MSE.

    :rotfl:Don't have anything new to add just loved the idea of gang members sitting round saying 'so what are we going to do now? Threaten people, menace people, roam the streets...or post on MSE?!'
