Vaati Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-29870960 A 15-year-old Army cadet who was selling poppies for Remembrance Day suffered burns to his face in an attack with a lit aerosol can. Greater Manchester Police said the offender, described as black or Asian, 5ft 8in tall and wearing a dark hooded top, then walked off without saying a word. He appeared to be under the influence of alcohol and was staggering, the force added. Now I don't want to see this thread go into a racist thread. But it's disgusting that ANYONE would do this sort of thing, drunk or otherwise to someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's disgusting that ANYONE would do this sort of thing, drunk or otherwise to someone. Because people are scum. Not all obviously. By the sound of it the lad wasn't too badly injured but there seems an ever rising tide of realitivly low level, spiteful (and I can't think of a better word than spiteful) crimes like this one. If they catch him (and bear in mind according the star 75% of crimes in Sheffield are unsolved) what will he get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mafya Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 There is an army cadet place on Barnsley road up the side of the sportsman pub that also has a mosque next to it. No cadets have ever been abused or insulted afaik and I think it is a good example of integration having a pub, mosque and army cadet place all next to each other.

Hopefully he'll quickly be apprehended and have the aforementioned aerosol shoved up his backside...sideways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinfoilhat Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 [/b] It wasn't in Sheffield! I know, but I didn't glance at the Manchester evening news when I was buying some petrol to see how the greater Manchester police were doing when it comes to solving crime, I glanced at the star ;) I'd guess it's not a deal different though.
