Taking the dog out for a walk last night it really made me wonder where we are going as a society. Little things that really had me shaking my head.
Bareing in mind that I was only out for about 75 minutes this is what i saw.
On three occasions i saw groups of teenagers, hoodies up hanging around the street corners, in each group there were lads with their faces covered other than their eyes.
A syringe on the pavement.
A road with broken glass all over the pavements.
Two lads on Trials bikes on the main road, no lights and no registration plates.
Lads on pushbikes on the road with no lights.
Two cars with boy racers that must have been doing closer to 60mph than the 30mph limit.
An ambulance and two police cars near the centre of Stalybridge parked up with the lights flashing looking around the railway arches for someone.
Now i understand that things like this happen and appreciate that kids now have little to do in an evening but fuck me it left me just thinking that a lot are just scum who couldn't give a fuck about anyone else.
I remember my wife who is a school teacher years ago telling me that the trouble is people with shit moral compasses are bringing up kids with their values, and in turn these kids are now bring up theirs with even less morals.
Or maybe it isn't the case and Stalybridge is just a shit hole.
