They lurk, they often obscure their faces, they swear and make loud boorish and obscene remarks, spit, throw items, and they try to make themselves generally obnoxious. They know exactly what they're doing, and how far to push it.

If I was a 6ft 15st bloke, I doubt I'd be intimidated by them.

Luckily, the supermarket has had a makeover, and has lost the portico outside the entrance where the gangs used to congregate. It's a much nicer experience all round.

Are you seriously suggesting that people should only feel intimidated if a crime is actively being committed? There are plenty of methods of intimidation that are within the law, to a point. OK, you may still argue that the youths have a right to be there; but having a right to do something is not the same as to be right in doing something.


No, I'm suggesting that coming down hard against public assembly just because certain people aren't comfortable is wrong. At the end of the day if they're not harming you then there should be no problem, if they are then that's where the law steps in. If they're being actively intimidating towards you, e.g. through words or behaviour, then the Police can take action under S.5 of the Public Order Act.

Quote:
"(1) A person is guilty of an offence if he:
(a) uses threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour, or disorderly behaviour, or
(b) displays any writing, sign or other visible representation which is threatening, abusive or insulting,
within the hearing or sight of a person likely to be caused harassment, alarm or distress thereby."
