We saw police horses going up there I think was last Sunday afternoon, but this should be done at night time.
.
We hear the louts coming down Borough Road in the early hours of the morning.
.
The new fountain at the top of the park will be vandalised next, give it a week or two, some kids have no respect for anything!

If they aren't selling the stuff in carrier bags to youths they are often seen to be egging it on and encouraging it often in broad daylight in front of their 'peers' in the street ... so I wouldn't call them 'adults' as they defy any kind of definition of that word except to say they used to lock them up in asylums years ago. Again, odd behaviour yet 'normal' it seems to some who consider nothing wrong in it. It's gone on for years in Darwen, it never changes. It never will until something is done to drive these people out of the town ... Because it is they who are 'ruling' the majority and always have with their ways.
Youths? Or drunken adults?

The really big laugh here, or joke, is that these are the same people who yell as loud as they like when they hear about drug addiction centres opening in the town 'attracting wrong 'uns'. Well, the 'wrong uns' already live in the town. The evidence can be witnessed by anyone and by reports in this paper.

Never will you solve this problem the town has been beset with for years unless you get rid of the ones causing it. Yet they appear to have more rights than the majority so that'll never happen. Though perhaps one day people will become so fed up with them and literally drive them out. Plonk them in a play area all of their own so they can smash each other up, anything within reach - put some nice, vandalisable toys in easy reach for them - and away from everyone else.
.
The town has a problem, why isn't the so called 'town council' lifting a finger to stop it? I know of plenty of people who won't even bother coming to the town because they know it's reputation. They give it a very WIDE berth. This the image you really want in Darwen?

Every town has its social problems and they are not being sorted, please let us know how your town manages.

If anyone knows who's responsible for this kind of thing, don't bother reporting it. Just get about a dozen of you together, go up there, and give them a bloody good hiding. That usually does the trick!

It does seem like nothing ever gets done to combat this type of anti social behaviour and it also appears that the authorities and councils turn a blind eye and tolerate this type of behavior.
Its time to, get tough and adopt a ZERO tolerance approach to anti social behaviour and stop this now rather than trying to apply ways of managing this type of behaviour and using different methods and theories.

Mob rule is on it's way, after all, they would have to prove who exactly did it, and if they managed that they would let us of with a strong ticking off or some other half-witted pathetic 'punishment' like they do with the scumbags, so what exactly do we have to lose?
