Just seen three guys walking down Crystal Palace Road after i assume coming out of the Actress Pub, one of whom was punching car wing mirrors. I was in my sitting room and heard shouting and a bang looked out to see them trying to hit mine too. Fortunately the guy punching them (tall skinny and wearing a red t-shirt and jeans) was so drunk he missed. I opened my window and shouted at them and by the time i'd put my trainers in they had gone.


Like i said i assume they had just come out of the Actress pub and will be asking for the cctv tomorrow morning from them. All three were white and the other two guys were older with a large overweight guy wearing a white top).


This has literally just happened 00:10 so i just thought i'd post as they probably continued down the round. If you have got a damaged wing mirror may i suggest contacting the police as in conjunction with the cctv perhap we can get these kind of people off our streets.

That's not so, police advice is to call 999 if a crime is in progress and an emergency response is required, as in this case it clearly would have been.

Police UK website: "You should call 999 if a crime is happening right now or there is a risk of serious damage to property." i.e. if you see some people in the act of doing hundreds of pounds' worth of damage to cars, call 999 and the police will put an emergency response in place. Thanks for the unnecessary rudeness and stupid implication though.

I know someone who ran out of their house a few weeks back so stop thieves stealing their car. The thieves ran them over twice and he is dead now. This was a big wake up call to me. I mention this because you put on your trainers to go out and confront them. And I get it. But it's just not worth it. Stay in your houses, call the police, stay safe.

It's a crime in progress - so technically can be 999.

    • Whilst I agree, I have been thinking about this recently in relation to some of the other posts on here about anti social behaviour. We are all products of our upbringing - our experiences at home, school and beyond - plus whatever we have inherited genetically which might affect our behaviour (the nature/nurture thing). So in this case, if people haven't been brought up to love and appreciate trees and other wild things, plus as you say they may be deeply unhappy (or have other undiagnosed issues) it's easy to see how they could have ended up doing this. Also, it's possible they had quite low intelligence and didn't really grasp what they were doing and the effect it would have on so many other people. But that's just surmise and possibly completely wrong. From what I've read about it, they seemed to be two mates egging each other on, like two big kids. I'm not for a minute excusing what they did, and it's right they should be punished, but I really hope they might get some sort of rehabilitation in prison (it would  be appropriate to have them do some kind of community service like planting saplings, wouldn't it, or working in woodland conservation). And the same goes for phone robbers and shoplifters (rehabilitation, not planting saplings), though for SOME  shoplifters there might also be other issues at play, not excluding poverty. Sorry Jasonlondon,  I've gone off at a real tangent here, lucky it's in the lounge! Oh oops I've just noticed it isn't. Sorry admin. Oh, and then there's a whole philosophical discussion to be had about free will and determinism ..... 🤣🤣🤣
    • Thanks! I'll find out in a few weeks when I get the results! It was one of those disconcerting things where a disembodied voice keeps booming  at you to breathe in and hold it, then breathe normally. Apart from that it was OK, all completely painless. I imagine there will be quite a few people going from ED, though I presume it covers the whole Southwark area 
    • Two men behind ‘senseless’ felling of Sycamore Gap tree jailed for more than four years Good to see these two jailed today for four years. There’s something deeply disturbing about people who destroy trees—any tree. Whether it’s a centuries-old landmark or a sapling in a quiet park, trees are living beings that offer beauty, shade, and life. The men who cut down the Sycamore Gap tree are a stark example of how far some people will go to lash out at something peaceful and meaningful. People who harm nature like this aren’t just destructive—they are often deeply unhappy. It takes a troubled mind to look at a tree and see something to ruin instead of something to protect.
