What a brilliant initiative, many years ago in my town, the round table charity would have during december to the 24th, a Santa sleigh touring the neighbourhood streets entertaining the residents and collecting food and toys and money to give to the less fortunate, we all looked forward to this happening kids and adults alike.
It all stopped maybe 20 years ago, why? because, it became a target for a couple of years from stone throwing chavs the parade was constantly attacked for no reason other than a lack of public discipline. The police overstretched and under funded did very little. The volunteers and I don't blame them lost the will to carry on.
Now everyone flocks to see the Coca-Cola lorry if it is anywhere near on its national tour. THAT says a lot about society.
What a shocking story! I don't understand people. They don't help, that's ok but obstructing those who want to do something good for others?
The good thing in my city is that there are cameras almost everywhere and you can't get away with such things. Last year the municipality set up the Christmas tree and that night some teenagers pissed on it, just for fun, then left. A few hours later police was knocking on their door and fined them with $1000. A harsh fine, but some people want to learn the hard way.
It is shocking that the police there did nothing 😐 and even more shocking to see how low some people can sink. Shame.
Yes we have cameras in the centre of the town, but not in the outlying districts an villages , that is a lot of money for taking a pis, love it they wont do that again in a hurry!
