Great-grandad 'forced to guard property' as yobs 'make lives a misery' at north Hull sheltered bungalows

“pandalover12: I for one apologise for any derogative remarks I made about your grandad's looks, it was so unfair.

I'm sure he must be terrified about these youths actions and be at his wits end as to when it's going to happen again. If the area is so bad, why did the council put the elderly there in the first place?

I'm surprised the council haven't asked your grandad and other residents to keep a diary of what's been happening as it's happening, time and date, crime involved etc, this will give them and the police a clear indictation of when these scum are most active. I hope this matter is cleared up quickly and these toe-rags are put away to give your grandad and others peace, and possibly move them away to a quieter area?”

“winegumdaze
We've all met your type. big hardcase (and mouth) behind a keyboard. Get your kicks from insulting helpless old folk. I bet you would run a mile if a fourteen year old hoodie said 'boo' to you. Mind you I don't suppose there is much chance of that, you probably never leave the safety of your computer.”

“These scum need to be taught a lesson, moving them elsewhere doesn't get rid of the problem, it just shifts it somewhere else and other people will have to go through the same as these residents have gone through.

So, apart from a public flogging (which will never happen, the human rights lot will put paid to that) what's the answer? Do the council just shrug their shoulders and say it's a police matter? Perhaps a custodial sentence? Which means they'll be fitter when they're released and can outrun (and outwit) the police. Public service (unpaid community work) may be an alternative, depending on the ages of the scum involved. The electronic tags only serve as a trophy to people like these and will only be a short term solution. The police, council, social services and the CPS need to get their heads together to sort this one out, preferably before someone is murdered.”

“hull city council are rubbish their hardly doin nothin when he rings they say he\she is on leave!!! then put it forward to some one else plus if the place is that bad then why put ederly ppl in there in the first place it proves its a bad place cos when a old lady died they burgled the bungalo while she was still in there disrispectfull youths should betaken out with the police n put into a place were they can c wat happens to ppl like them they must b seriously disturbed kids... plus its not always hull i dont see riots in hull just idiots that make us look bad..”

“i really don't see what my grandad's looks have to do with anything? its about him being terrorised by low life idiots that have nothing better to do like get a job! he has been to the council, all they do is sit on their backsides. iv often been to visit him and hes been in tears because hes so afraid. hes a very unwell man and they aught to be locked up for making people feel this way”

“If the old feller knows who the people are he should get onto the council. If the trouble causers are council tenants they may well be liable to be eviction...though it would take time. You never know the trouble makers may already have a record and adding ti it will all help to prove a case for moving them on. Don't send them round here though, I don't want to be done for beating up some little squirt of a sh..bag and his Dad; if he has one.”

“All you people slating my dad over the way he looks need to get a grip, this is not about his looks its about the yobs that are making his and his neighbours life a misery, he is to afraid to go to sleep on the night because of them, his wife is scared to go out alone, NOBODY should live like this.”

“This has been going on since these bungalows were built.The original residents (my late mother amongst them).Moved in under the impression there would be a warden.The residents have had nothing but grief from yobs from day one.I myself had my car broken into on a vist to my mothers.What is needed is the birch to be brought back for these excuses of human beings.I would not insult nature by calling them animals.”

“Everything is down to paperwork these days, and if it's the council, then it'll have to be done in triplicate. It's action these people need not reems of paper. Why has this awful behaviour gone on so long without it coming to the notice of the police? Mainly because, as usual, the police hide behind the human rights lot and it's the criminals needs that go before their victims. What a load of tosh!! Give these morons what they deserve, a public flogging with a birch, if that doesn't stop them, nothing will.”

“the best day of my llfe was when my mum died and i knew she did not have to live in fear any more in the centre of hull. ironic isnt it. my responce to these unfortunate old people is buy a gun and use it.”
