Why didn't a genuine fan do something about it?
Easier to cop hold of a little kid, than to jump into a brawl to help someone. That's our society today though - sad.'"
Anyone 'copping hold' of the kid would have been risking getting themselves into serious trouble .
I copped hold of a scrote on our car-sales pitch a while ago . He was letting handbrakes off and rolling the cars into eachother . As it was late at night and in an industrial estate we decided the best way to deal with him was to take him to the local police station . He voluntarily got into the car , and was driven less than a mile to the station . Guess who was arrested , and almost charged with abduction of a minor when we took him into the police station
He was 15 years old , and his grandad is a regular customer of ours . Thankfully the grandad had the common-sense to sort things out so that the charges were dropped . It could have gone proper pear-shaped if he hadn't got involved .
Much easier to jump into a brawl and break it up . Less chance of landing yourself in trouble with the law as long as you don't start brawling too.
