De Beauvoir Cycle Gang Strikes Again

Victim mentality right ^ there.

I once had a woman on a bus berate me for getting off the bus and sorting out a traffic problem. To cut a long (and boring) story short the bus had overcooked a corner and was half on the wrong side of the road at a stalemate with an irate car driver, traffic had backed up, nobody was moving, the bus driver just sat there like a lemon. The driver was out of his car ranting. So, I just got off, asked the bus driver to wait, sympathised with the car driver, calmly explained if he could just shuffle over a couple of feet it would all be over and everyone could get on. He calmed down, moved a bit, I got back on the bus, everyone drove off.

However, a woman who'd been on the bus came up to me and almost told me off saying I 'could have got stabbed' wtf?! And that was the thing that surprised me the most about the whole incident - her victim mentality. I'm convinced she would have been happier to sit there on the unmoving bus for a further 10 minutes, while the stalemate potentially escalated. I simply pointed out to her that I hadn't been stabbed and she looked at me like I was some sort of nutter?!

There's a serious point in here though that's relevant to what's happening in De Beauvoir. It's precisely the 'you'll end up in trouble' attitude that stops people from doing anything at all. And it's precisely this that the little thugs are banking on. Don't forget they are at heart cowards. How can I say this with such certainty? Because if they weren't we wouldn't be talking about them in the plural. It would be 1 person carrying out these attacks, now that would be scary. But it's not, it's a little gang who are only 'brave' when there's a group of them. Your classic mugging cowards.

Even mikec's dreadful experience in the area. I would put money on had he not been pissed he never would have been attacked. Hardly comforting now and apologies for bringing it up Mike but the scrotes that attacked him wouldn't have dared had he been sober. These types of low-life are opportunistic cowards.
