Youths Attack Firefighters
I've read about people attacking firefighters in Great Britain but I've never posted on it. After reading this article I had to say something.
This from the Liverpool Daily Post via FireFightingNews.com:
FIREFIGHTERS were pelted with missiles as a 40-strong gang of hooded yobs attacked while they attended a 999 call.The mob pelted nine firefighters and two of their £125,000 engines with stones, bottles and bricks while shouting abuse and taunting them.
Specialist firefighting equipment was stolen from the back of one engine.
The youths, aged 13 to 17, kicked the engines and lobbed missiles, leaving the vehicles covered in dents and puncture holes in an unrelenting 20-minute attack.
Reading about this stuff just ticks me off. In the previous articles I've read, the police are trying to put a stop to this but so far it isn't working. It looks like the police may have to be dispatched to all fires just to control these hoodlums.
