I know violence is everywhere, and I know there are many places more dangerous... but I dont know if the same hooliganism and yob culture, the same drunken aggression and nastiness, exists like this anywhere else.
It follows that any society will have a level of violent people, but I think it is our culture that shapes them the way they end up.
I read a case in my local paper today that I would quite happily would have seen the killer swing for, as much as I morally support the death penalty.
