Since He's 'At A Crossroads', Maybe We Should Bury Him There?

This teenage boy has appeared in court twice this week and has terrorised his estate in north Bristol for years.
The notorious teenager is feared in and around the Manor Farm area on the edge of Horfield, and has scared his victims out of their homesbut still we are not allowed to identify him.
Because he's the 'vulnerable' one, you see...
The 14-year-old has a list of offences including burglary, arson and sexual assault on his record but magistrates at a Bristol court have ruled that his age leaves him too vulnerable to be publicly identified and have banned the Post from naming him.
He's about as 'vulnerable' as a spitting cobra. And not half as pleasant to live around.
Defending, Andrew Ray said: "It is true that the defendant has an unenviable list of offences, something that he is not proud of.
"On the day of the incident he says he was given vodka by a friend. It was the first time he has got drunk.
"It seems to me that we have a young man here very much at the crossroads."
That's where they used to bury miscreants, isn't it? Perhaps we should revive the good old days...

The first time he'd ever been drunk? At 14? O rly!

He seems to pretty much define the word "scrote".

I'm always mystified as to how and why little shits like this are permitted to "terrorise" neighbourhoods" yet manage to avoid being "sorted" by other residents ..

I mean, he's hardly Rambo, armed with a matching brace of Mac-10's, is he ?

A swift "twatting" when he first started performing would have "squared him up" nicely ..

Captain, no mystery; his sort are the first to run crying to the authorities if you even look at them the wrong way.

The most powerful weapon in their armoury is the knowledge that anyone - including family members -who tries to curtail their antisocial activities may well end up in court, while they themselves have a virtually free hand thank to their 'vulnerable' status.

so he was sober for the myriad previous offences.
One wonders what was the mitigation that got him a free pass those times

Not so much burying but left rotting on the gibbet...

Macheath: he has to be able to walk and breathe in order to run crying to the authorities. The problem is insufficiently rapid escalation.

"He seems to pretty much define the word "scrote"."

And there's lots just like him in every town.

"I'm always mystified as to how and why little shits like this are permitted to "terrorise" neighbourhoods" yet manage to avoid being "sorted" by other residents .. "

Macheath has the answer - thought David Gillies has a possible solution!

"so he was sober for the myriad previous offences.

Quite!

"Not so much burying but left rotting on the gibbet..."

The newly-introduced kites would be happy!

He may be at the crossroads but he should be in the cross hairs.

Perfect solution all round!

Actually, it probably says more than you'd want to know about what sustained the original kite population of the British Isles.
