(Me) am sure it will soon be brushed under the carpet and forgotten about and Ashton can get back to Beirut as we knew and loved in the 80's
Any background as to WHY this happened Stonie?

Dunno, could be kids taking the piss and getting battered for their cheek, could be racial, could be unprovoked but what ever the reason it's caused some serious unrest, my mate was out walking his dogs and saw gangs of kids and not just white kids meeting up, being stopped and searched by the police...when we went out battling as kids we never had numbers like this but with today's social media not only can things get taken out of contex but its dead easy to meet up....

I think today's social networking also leads to some getting involved for the sheer hell of it and the notoriety.
Sad really.
