Next time this hero should use a club. With a spike in the end…
When she spotted yobs vandalising a war memorial garden, Julie Lake sprang into action.
As the daughter of a Second World War RAF pilot – and granddaughter of one of the fallen in the 1914-18 war – she felt it was her duty to intervene. But, after giving the main culprit a talking- to and a ‘cuff round the ear’, she finds herself facing the prospect of being arrested for assault.
Yesterday Mrs Lake accused police of failing to follow up her complaints about graffiti and other hooliganism in the memorial garden.
“The memorial is a sacred place – it’s like a grave,” said the 50-year-old.
“How dare these youngsters tarnish the memories of those who made a sacrifice for future generations?
“I’ve called the police and I’ve tried to talk to these kids, but I’ve got nowhere.
“I lost my temper in complete frustration after two years of patiently trying to get something done and immediately the police are after me. It’s ridiculous.
“I did not go up to these boys intending to hit anyone but they when they started shouting abuse at me and my husband, Peter, who is recovering from cancer, I just snapped.”
She said that 15 youths surrounded her and mockingly asked if her husband, who was in their car, was going to rescue her.
“I saw red and gave the ringleader a slap on the cheek,” she added. “He was just laughing and said ‘That’s assault’.
The lady did the right thing after being treated like this by these losers. IMHO they should be the front line in the next war so we weed them out first ’cause you can’t count on them to defend the country so they would just be at home using up valuable resources. It’s the state of the education system that doesn’t teach the history and sacrifices of past generations.
“My family told me never to shrink from a challenge and although I don’t condone what I did, I hope some good comes out of it.”
This is the only thing she did wrong, capitulating to political correctness. If it was me, I’d condone what I did and threaten them with repeated beatings until it stopped. I’d get a group of like-minded civilians and hunt down every one of them trashing that memorial. Naw, just kiddin’, all that has to be done is for the coppers to catch a few of these dudes in the act and prosecute them fully so their parents have to pay big $$ to rectify the situation.
