Re: Forget the kiddies
Yes, the 'he started it sir!' excuse.
At my secondary school, if you dared not to pay the 'for your protection' tithe to the gang then you got beated up. They'd use the 'he started it' excuse even though you are cut and bruised and they did't have a mark on them AND they'd get away with it.
I could not wait to leave the day after my 15th birthday(that ages me). Many of the gang served time incluing two with 'life sentences'.
Even now when I go back to that town, I give a shudder. It was a shithole then and still is.
