I think i have seen both of them before but can't be certain. Most probably both appeared on jeremy kyle
Just another example of the uncivilised future society that is being developed. :-[
In a parallel universe, if someone complained about children throwing sweets, the children would have been scolded and the parents' apologise to the 'victim'. No, here the opposite happens... someone complains politely about feral children, and then gets savagely attacked by the feral parents.
In front of their children. What kind of example is this to set to your children? I hope they are proud of themselves, and I hope in the future the children will be embarrassed to see this footage of their parents.

This country is done. Finished. I believe strongly too much damage has happened to repair it. Thank Mr. Blair for all his efforts to destroy the West.
Oh, and Social Services, guess what? I still smack my grandkids if they deserved it. No family member of mine is turning into this feral scum of which most the public seems to strive on.
And women... whats so attractive about these groups of youths in tracksuits, swearing, swigging Special Brew and smoking the leaf for you to openly give them your number? You then actively shun workers, for no obvious reason. This is Labours' benefit culture on top form again it seems.
And Stu, I'm glad I'm not the only one to have noticed it. Saying that, it seems an awful lot of people have the same opinion - but are muted by "White Dee" and the like.
Offended yet?
I'm appalled to see this kind of behaviour on the buses; we had the tragic stabbing of a schoolgirl last year and now we have parents punching a person who has fairly complained about children pestering him. It seems some people just have no discipline these days. I'm 16 years old now and I've realised in the last 3-4 years this society is declining rapidly. I agree with you LS and Stu; this sort of society is pathetic where you can't even complain about misbehaving kids; If I was the father I'd have apologised straight away and then had a right good shout at the kids for doing that.
You've summed it up nicely LS. I get so angry seeing things like this. What purpose do these dregs of humanity serve? If they were dogs they'd be destroyed. It's a shame we don't apply the same rules to violent aggressive people.
The only good thing is that the CCTV images are so clear, they can't fail to be recognised.

I would compare them to sewer rats but I wouldn't like to offend the poor rats.

And Mike K, you've said exactly what I have for many years. I strongly believe in sterilization and destruction of these "breeds" [Unfortunately, it'll be after a crime has been committed]. Yes, OK, offer help, give them detox and the rest, but at the end of all that, whats left? Fungi and used syringes.
I don't think I've over stepped the mark here. If the people were genuine, they would help themselves - or at least try.
Sorry if you're offended easily by this, and I'm expecting the usual PC replies. But see it from someone who's worked since the age of 14 and after being retired for merely 9 months I've an incurable condition. Then these scumbags abuse everything and nothing gets done. Where's your equality now?
The real problem behind all this is that in most cases like this the offenders get away with it! Occasionally they may get a poxy short sentence, community service or some other walk in the F****** park! whatever they do get, they don't care and it's no good fining them either they don't have any money. Society no longer tackles problem people and social problems in their infancy, every rule these days seams to be made to be broken, I mean how many times a week does someone walk past you in the street smoking weed? you can smell the S*** everywhere... in the street, in the shop, on the bus....something is wrong, seriously wrong!!
The scum are winning...

I think you're right there, 4006.
It certainly is a case that laws are for the lawful.
Think about it...
This story is literally all over the news today so it's surely only a matter of time before the lowlife are caught.
Danny Scouser on BBC WM did an interview with Jack Kelly (?) of NX on his show today regarding this.
(I gather Jack or someone else is on Adrian Goldberg's show tomorrow too, I think taking calls(but I could be wrong!))
I believe Jack Kelly has a job title something like External Affairs Manager.

That's good to hear. On a more lighthearted note, this totally bizarre article on the matter describes the attackers as getting off the bus at the "Eco-friendly gentleman" in Harborne:

I had intense difficulty reading that article, Mike. And what the heck is that website? It's disturbed me slightly.

Yes LS it is bizarrely disturbing. I just googled the subject to see if the offenders had been caught. That was one of the hits that came up. There's a whole load of weird s**t out there in cyberspace.
The article has clearly been translated into another language, then translated back (rather badly) into English.
The website itself is probably well-meaning, but it appears the 'news' section has been hijacked by spammers, as the articles are just useless or recycled information with lots of links.
disgusting it is, the worst things the people who have done it are around my age which makes it even worse. I've worked as a chef since the age of 16, always been at work and people who attack people for sweet f a is just horrible I see it often. I mean the country is in a bad state, young peoples attitude is just wrong, I see it at work when people come in to the pub. I just don't get why it happened. A request to stop kids throwing something?? crazy
you cant do anything anymore with out being judged on something, and then you get these guys attacking people for nothing. what's the bet they don't work, and just claim from the government who is more than happy to give out money we haven't got to people who cant be bothered to get out and do something.
I could go on about this but its just another reason to not feel safe on a bus, its bad enough going through certain areas of bham at night as some of you on here will probably agree with me, but this happened in daylight which makes it even worse.
I suppose its becoming a more of a less rare thing at the moment.

The Scum of today is like a virus it spreads and spreads...even into areas you'd least expect it...Youngsters, Pensioners, Religious (supposedly) people they are all at it and for the few (as in this case) that get 'aired' or prosecuted there are loads more doing the same thing and 'getting away with it!'

Quoted for truth.
It's totally disgusting how it is.
And the usual one is they argue about the DATE with you!
"Excuse me, your Daysaver is out of date."
"No it's not."
"It's not the 18th February today..."
"Yeah it is!!!" (By this point they're raving mad)
"Sir. It's the 22nd February today. Get off the bus you're not travelling."
And then expect a bus load of absurdities from the mouth of a 12 year old prepubescent gobshite. Naturally done up in "Henleys" branded chavvy clothes and without a doubt a pocket full of skunk. (That's not to offend Henleys clothes wearers, of course. Suppose it makes a change from generic grey prison-standard tracksuit)
That's a true story from earlier today. Shame what crap our ("Our" in the sense of "Genuine Passengers") drivers have to put up with. And then you get the drivers who don't check them, but you can't win either way.
