Teenagers who can't afford to get their kicks away from the street, no positive role models. I.e. stressed out teachers, not given the time or the budgets to guide the kids in a positive direction. Gang cultures that replace, parenting cos the parents are having to work two or three jobs just to keep their head above water, or have just given up.
Extreme povety and extreme wealth, breed the same type of Dickheads. If you had gotton on the train at Eton, you'd get the same type of arsehole in dapper suit. Just if they got arrested daddy would get them out.
All you need to do is look back at that night and when you started this thread and check whether you showed them respect that you expected from them. If your conscience is clear then good for you.
Here's a hint of one instance I can see right off the bat though. Automatically assuming they were carrying knives and bringing their hairstyles into this like it's relevant to the story isn't respectful either. Your version is actually packed with negative assumptions and stereotypes. Just saying. And I'm not one of these London "yoofs" as you creatively referred to them as so I've no reason to defend them because you're right - they did act like louts. But you're not exactly being respectful either
There is good and bad in ev'ryone
We learn to live, when we learn to give
Each other what we need to survive, together alive!
They were only having fun, but that still made Emp feel uncomfortable.
Crime is a real problem, so I do understand it isn't clear cut. We all need to take responsibility for our own safety and Emp is within his rights to avoid potentially dangerous situations.
I wonder what this group felt like when faced with another group who were clearly uncomfortable with their presence. Emp tells us he was sizing them up to see if he could take them. I wonder if this was perceived in some way by the group. Is this something they constantly face from similar groups? There will likely be some bias on both sides here, conscious or not.

As far as I can see no crime was committed.
We could go down the path of hard determinism and say nobody is to blame, which partly I believe. We are a product of our genetic pre-disposition and environment...that being how we are raised, under what conditions and those we meet in life.
The 'arseholes' we meet in life all have a story, a reason, but that doesn't mean their behaviour is acceptable, and the closer and more personal it is to us, then the more we will be affected...but that's a rabbit hole.
On the child raising front, personally I believe show your child plenty of love, praise them greatly when deserved and be their inspiration.
The other reason I believe these things happen is because we are now a fragmented society, we rarely stand together, so the individual can intimidate a group of people even though they could easily overpower the individual, because they see themselves as individuals and not a collective. There is actually a name for this syndrome, but can't remember what it's called.
My partner moved over here 35 years ago, she came from a village in Bangladesh, a place where any troublemakers would be confronted by the village, they had a sense of belonging and social responsibility.
She's very petite, but too often outspoken should she witness antisocial behaviour and this does worry me.
Usually involves me killing them getting arrested and then helping the police solve their cases before being let go by the cops with no mention of the previous murder.
just because you do, doesn't mean you should.
