Oh and on a similar note..
ITN - Wednesday, March 12 01:29 pm
A 15-year-old boy helped kick a young woman to death because she was a goth, a court has heard.
The teenager was in a gang of five who were "acting like a pack of wild animals" as they "savagely and mercilessly" attacked Sophie Lancaster, 20, and her boyfriend, Preston Crown Court heard.
Sophie, a gap-year student, had moments earlier begged the gang to stop beating her boyfriend, art student Robert Maltby, 21. The accused had started the violence, with a flying kick to the head of Mr Maltby, the jury was told.
The gang, "encouraging each other and laughing" punched, stamped and jumped on his head until he was unconscious, Michael Shorrock QC, opening the case for the prosecution, told the jury.
Sophie had pleaded with them to stop and tried to pull them away, witnesses to the attack, on August 10 last year, in Stubbylee Park, Bacup, Lancashire, told police.
But as she kneeled down, cradling her boyfriend's head on her lap, calling for help, the accused and another teen, who has already pleaded guilty to murder, turned on her.
The second boy, aged 15, at the time, kicked her in the head, with the accused joining in to kick and stamp on her head.
One witness, a boy, 15, who had tried to stop the violence, told police, "It looked like they were running over and just kicking her in the head, jumping up and down on their head... they were kicking her all over her head."
Mr Shorrock said the gang had turned on the young couple simply because they were Goths or "moshers" - and dressed differently to them.
When paramedics arrived they could not tell what sex Sophie was, such was the severity of injuries to her face. She died in hospital nearly two weeks later.
Mr Maltby survived but has not made a full recovery.
The accused, and four other youths, two aged 17 and one 16, have already pleaded guilty to grievous bodily harm to Mr Maltby.
But the accused denies murder, saying he took no part in the attack on Miss Lancaster.
None of the teenagers involved can be named because of their age.
lol! After all the years of descrimination against metal heads we throw our views on stereotyping out the window and take everything out on our fellow rockers. I'm not particularly taken with the emo subculture.At all. But you won't see me headbutting anyone because of the music they listen to or the way they dress anytime soon.. no wonder some people have a stereotype of metalheads being unintelligent and aggressive..
Still..lol!!
Yep, it's good enough.Emos look stupid, but that's not a good enough reason to beat them up.
Long, greasy, scraggly hair, big baggy cargo pants, band shirts with the words Fuck and Cunt on, untidy facial hair, metal chains hanging off your trousers, big black boots, makeup and screaming "rarrrr" as loud as you can down the street with your friends in the middle of summer.
Really this just promotes metalheads as a bunch of loser ass gorillas, or as a bunch of pussies who hammer fist and beat up girls.
Emos may look stupid to you lot, but us metalheads look stupid to everyone else.

It should be the chavs that we're fighting off, not "emos". When was the last time an emo came up to you, said "oi mate, give us a fag n ur fone or ill fuckin' knife ya, ya cunt"?
I think that it only promotes MEXICANS as a bunch of loser ass gorillas, or as a bunch of pussies who hammer fist and beat up girls.

I'm nothing like that. Enjoy your stereotype!

Every country has assholes like those
