Ex-poster here, that's how I came across it.

I can only imagine the people on their phones are texting the police. I have found myself in a situation like that and that's what I did. Obviously, you don't want to die as well, so texting the police seems like the right thing to do for most of these people, unless someone has means to go defend whoever is getting stabbed.
 
Many of the issues are caused by drugs. There are two possible answers.

1. Legalise or decriminalise the less dangerous drugs and have them sold under licence like alcohol.

2. Punish users severely. Not pushers, users.

Neither is a complete solution and (2) would never be accepted as too many rich people and their kids would be caught, not least MPs.
 
I’ve had to vary my walk to Asda and back as a filth group of smack / crack heads gather by the shops smoking weed and drinking 9% cans. They block the pavements and won’t move for anyone including mums with pushchairs. It’s all hoods up and cheap sportswear.

My suspicion is there are dens and drug houses near by. If I’m up early then I can often hear them. Whilst there are wrong uns everywhere, this lot are pure Birkenhead scum.

No2 is ludicrous. Maybe tackle the root cause of drug use and we’d see less crime. Most folk become addicted due to self medicating, similar to alcoholism.

alcohol is a bigger blight on our society than drugs.
 
Hard watch that video.

I’d like to think I’d get involved and help someone on the receiving end of violence, particularly in an environment like that where others may follow my lead.

The honest truth is I think my immediate thought would be what if I get hurt, or worse, and leave a family?
