I don't really know why I'm writing this, perhaps I just need to get it out of my system.
On the other hand, I suppose it's a half-effort rant about the way culture in the UK is today.
Anywho, I suspected for a while the way my sister had been acting over the past few weeks that she'd been hanging out with a bad crowd; bad attitude, panda eyes that would put pandas to shame, getting lazy, staying out until the early morning and such.
Fed up with the way that she'd been treating everyone in the house in that time, I decided to follow her to wherever she'd been hanging out with these idiots, which turned out to be a local park at dusk/night.
That night I left her to it, the area around where they mess about is inside a wood, near a kids play park. So I planned what to do the next night.
I regularly go paintballing and airsofting. However, I don't run around flailing balls and BBs off like a 12-year old doing it for the first time, I snipe from a distance, and I do it properly. I have a full ghillie suit for doing it in, and I took that with me to the park in a backpack, along with my camera.
I knew she'd gone one night so I left the house about 10 minutes after she did. I left the bag and changed about 200 meters from where they all where, and crawled to a huge bushy area that was about 30 meters away. (When we were all kids, we all used to mess about in the park so we know it like we know our homes, I'm sure you're the same in your local area). I was pretty much unspottable, and started taking pictures.
There was 23 of them, all happily doing drugs and drinking, making a noise, (Not that it mattered luckily, no-one around for quite a distance.) and being general 'yobs' that we know today. All the guys (and even a few girls, thankfully not my sister) were carrying knives, and were showing them off to one another.
I stayed where I was for close to four hours before they all packed up and left, made sure they'd all gone then retrieved my bag, went home after my sister and confronted her.
Needless to say we had a shouting match that could have probably been heard on far off continents, mum came in and saw the pictures, and reported it to the police.
They got involved and it turns out more than a few of them are known troublemakers, and they took copies of my photos away with them, no doubt as proof, as later I heard that they had been paid a visit by the boys in blue, and several of them arrested.
My sister's only 17, she she got let off with a slap on the wrist, not that mum let it die easily. I know for a fact some of the idiots who escaped the UK's failure of a justice system still go back to the park, but they're paranoid because for all they know the coppers are hidden in the bushes photographing them.
I didn't get my sister in trouble because I'm a git of a brother, I genuinely care about her, and I'm not going to let some failed abortions ruin the progress she was making in collage and work, like they were.
Point is, I hate the way this country's going at the minute. The police can't do anything because if they d they get in trouble for it - even though they're morally in the right - and it took me doing a Rambo act to get something done.
btw, never be mean to an older brother with military training and a knowledge of the local area.
