Wow - an apology from the police. Good for you amani.
I hope they dont come back tonight, but at least you seem to have the support of the police, and more importantly, you will have video evidence !!Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:Loves being a Wonderbra friend :kisses3:

I am trying to think of polite ways to phrase how mad I feel but this will have to do :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: . I am ashamed I share the same skin colour as these cowardly illegitimate offspring of a female dog. Just remember 98% of people of all colours don't give a toss about what colour you are, whether you have a mixed race family, whether you come from flipping MARS! They care about whether you are law abiding, work hard, and take part in the local community etc etc.
I really hope that you suffer no more of this pile of steaming stuff, and that you have a good nights sleep tonight.

I agree with Possette above. Let the little ratbags know you're video taping them. They'll see you as less of a soft target and more like you mean business.
Please tell your husband the world (and you) won't think less of him for NOT facing these people up. Heartache has befallen so many innocent people trying to stand up for themselves. Leave it to the Police officers. They'll know what to do.

I have set up a camara ready to record anything. I wish I had thought of that last night!
You don't always have time to think of things like that when you are in a situation. I, and a group of friends, were attacked on a night out. Afterwards I was wishing I had thought of things like getting my phone out to take photos, but mind my was too busy trying to process the scene that was happening around me.
Thankfully there was CCTV where we were, so the police have evidence to act on
Another point, I work for an Indian resturant, who have had problems with their neighbour. I know the local police comunity support officer has been helpful to them, and can act as a go between, to chase up action on the part of the police if they arent getting feedback. He's also given them advice on security and how to record events so that there is a log.
They also have just had to get cameras in place to capture events that happen after dark.
Hugs and will be thinking of you tonight0 -

Totally agree with this sentiment. IMHO most of the evils of world war 2 can be traced to Hitler convincing the nation that other nationlities were of less account than the "Aryian Nation". There really can be no place for this kind of thinking within a civilised society.
Get pictures, videos if possible. Do so while staying safely indoors. Pass evidence to the police and let them dpispose of the (to use Chev's phrase) "pile of steming stuff"0 -
There's nothing I can say that hasn't already been said. Just wanted to let you know that I'm thinking of you and hoping everything is okay tonight. Big hugs x0

The police could not really do anything as we did not know these boys.
Make sure the Police have reported this. It is a priority crime to them, as it is a racially aggravated incident. Also ask if they can increase the patrols past your house as and when they can.
Try not to worry too much, these kind of people are usually only brave in gangs, and once they get bored, will move onto someone/something else to vent their frustrations on.0 -
hi an update The local police officers have just been, they filled in some forms that should have been done last night. My son has to give an interview at the police station which will be video taped. My hubby and I have got to give statments on Friday at 9pm at home. They were very helpful and put us more at ease. The officers seem to know who the youths are and they said they will get to the bottom of this.
They also said they would pass our house frequently in the next 2 nights0 -
amani
