Sorry I'm late on this one, but really sorry to hear that bigfella.
I hate that I can't walk down the street without feeling terrified about being mugged/beaten up etc.

I try to bring that same level of fear and trepidation to the BSG.

Ah, yes, but with all your training now at least you can run away! (well done on the Race for Life, btw)

Yes, there are violent people about who only understand violence, you can't talk to them or reason with them and they carry on committing violent acts until somebody makes them realise that pain has no boundaries. A psychiatrist may take a lifetime of anger management to stop this person from assaulting people and never succeed, or an angry parent achieve this in minutes.

Anger's the key word. There are so many angry people around nowadays who feel entirely justified in lashing out at anybody and everybody. We never used to be this angry as a country.
We did. We just took it out on Johnny Foreigner. And damn right too!

How did it solve anything? What if started a cycle of revenge attacks? Who actually benefited from it?
Okay rang the police.
This was my nice call - just reminding them that it was now monday and my daughter had not yet seen a police officer.
The man hurried away to find the DC who has the case and to get him to ring.
We wait for three hours - then do my not so nice call.

He's probably English, just on the run in Germany in connection with a brutal vengance killing.

Germans are actually quite placid, they tend to moan a lot and do a lot of finger wagging, things rarely get violent, not where I live anyway, but you do get the occasional twat. The thing I have noticed though is there is a lot of boys or youths beating up girls going on, when I was a kid I would never have dreamed of hitting a girl.

Can't comment on this.

Much as I sympathise on a practical level you may want to be careful what you admit to on an open forum.
N.B. the idea people with mental health issues can not manage their agression and shouldn't be tried as criminals is bollocks.
And deeply harmful to the vast majority who never are violent.

Am English, not on the run.

There's a vast range of mental health problems. What about someone suffering from a psychotic episode and hallucinating?
