Peckham rye station last night

[MrsClive3300]

Did anyone else see or get their ears shattered by those awful screaming girls at the station last night on their way home? Its so good when they have police at the station when you get off, of course they werent there last night....

[Booboo2008]

Yes, I heard that. Hope that poor girl didn't come to any harm.

[MrsClive3300]

i know it looked so awful and such mob mentality - I dont want to start a big arguement on here but in my experience its the girls that are worse than the boys at their age - what is wrong with them??

[Brendan]

They?re just feral children. It?s what happens when there is no family structure or discipline they revert back to a pack of vicious animals. As animals go humans are quite horrible sans the benefits of our social constraints.

[MadWorld74]

why didnt anyone call the police?

[Tony.London Suburbs]

Was it the invariable "Mob versus 1" so prevalent these days?(6)

[MadWorld74]

um...why didn't anyone call the police?

[PeckhamRose]

What she said/asked!

[chuff]

i'm confused... was it just noisy girls? or were they harrassing another girl/s?

[kford]

I blame Geri halliwell

[????]

I blame the Beatles..

[SCSB79]

I was on the 40 home the other night and about 6 girls were on it stating how some girl at school was going to get an absolute shoeing...

They were animals.

I've recently given up amateur football and know the language that gets used in the games very well... these girls were ten times worse with their language!!!!!

I was quite tempted to write to their head master/mistress but I doubt whether it would have done anything. Can't remember what school it was.... blue blazer, maybe Harris'???

[AllforNun]

oooh and to think you might have a bunch of Harrises in ED soon.....ooooooh the shame of it.

what MW74 and Peckham Rose said. Did you guys witness a gang of girls setting about another girl, is that what this thread is about? And if so, did anyone do anything about it?

I feel quite perplexed about this, but don't want to suggest people chose to look the other way and then come on here and tut about it if that's not what happened.

[Michael Palaeologus]

I too am confused. Are you complaining about a group of noisy girls or was somebody getting bullied and injured?

If the latter, then why didnt you call the Police? If the former, well, these are London Teenagers, a bit of end-of-school screeching is fairly low on the richter scale of inner city problems.

[SeanMacGabhann]

Possibly unpopular this but here goes:

Even it was a more serious attack, would phoning the police have achieved anything? Not to denigrate the police - I'm assuming that resources being what they are they may have taken at least 5-10 minutes at which point whatever was happening would have been over and everyone dispersed?

When people were attacked when I was growing up, calling the police would be the last thing anyone would have done - you either dealt with it or someone (adult) intervened

(and that's not meant to sound callous tothe girl who was being attacked - I've been there. I jost don't think "phoning the police" would have done anything)

[jumpinjackflash]

If I had seen a group of people severely harassing someone I would definitely call the police. Whether the police choose to do something about it or not at least I can go home with a clear conscience. How awful would you feel if you found out later that person had been stabbed?

[Jeremy]

I would call 999... at least when they arrive, the victim has the choice of reporting it or not. Depending on how bad the beating was, they might need an ambulance too.

[Michael Palaeologus]

In my youth I too would have intervened; but that was 20 years ago in a small town in the Midlands. Nowadays, in London, I would call the Police. Unless it was a friend, direct intervention is just too risky.

[MrsClive3300]

sorry I started this thread and then didnt check back till now! no i didnt call the police. I think from what I saw it was them fighting each other - not 'end of year screeching' to be honest (i know this is going to be very unpopular) i would rather they were fighting amongst themselves and not attacking the rest of us, I too think they are animals and wish they could all be locked away so i dont have to see them

[Moos]

Was it several girls attacking one other, or a general mel?e?

I am indeed surprised to hear someone wish that children could be locked up so she didn't have to see them. I can see you were upset by the incident, but did you really mean to say that?

[PeckhamRose]

So when I was a kid being attacked by other girls surrounding me, terrified out of my skin and fearing getting knifed, there you were wishing I would be quiet and locked up because my attackers around me were making such a noise and you assumed I was one of them because their screams were drowning out my screams for help. Thanks.

so who are 'they' and what makes you think that the victim was also one of 'them'?
