AIBU to want to hunt these bastards down and beat the shit out of them with a tinsel-wrapped cricket bat?

Just popped round to see my lovely neighbour, in her late 70s, to give her some Xmas presents.

She went to visit her husband's grave yesterday (he died around Christmas time) to find it had been vandalised. Vases smashed, flowers thrown about etc.

She hasn't told her family because she doesn't want to upset them. I offered to go up to help clear it all up but she says she spent yesterday doing it. Bastards. Bastards, bastards, bastards. I came home and almost burst into tears just thinking about it.

If I could find out who did it, I swear I would have no compunctions about beating the crap out of them. How is it possible to do such a thing?!?!

Have invited neighbour for drinks tomorrow as she is on her own until about 1pm. Just trying to work out what else I could do to help in some way.

YANBU for wanting to do that. Although if you did do it it would bring you down to the vandals level.

Why not ask the neighbour if there is anything she needs help with if you would like to.

Poor woman, would have devastated me too

There really are some vile shits in the world, aren't there? That poor lady. Big hug from me to her. I don't care if it's not MN appropriate. It's Christmas and she deserves it.

YOU are lovely for caring about your neighbour like this.

Let me know the time and place and i'll bring my bat with rusty nails hammered in the end Xmas Grin.

Feeling the pain, i sincerely hope you and neighbour enjoy your Christmas as much as is possible x

Fecklessdizzy · 24/12/2011 15:26

Nope. YANBU. I'll hold your coat.

GoingForGoalWeight · 24/12/2011 15:26

Wine for you

Wine for neighbour

Thanks
Grumpla · 24/12/2011 15:35

CheerMum · 24/12/2011 15:37

let me know - i'll bring my rottweiller and baseball bat. little shits.

yellowraincoat · 24/12/2011 15:39

God, what bastards.

Do you have any spare cash? You could maybe help her out by buying a couple of new vases and some new flowers and a big baseball bat to smash the fuckers heads in

VinegarTits · 24/12/2011 16:15

prob. just kids who dont realise the devastation they might cause, dont think violent is the answer

EauDeLaPoisson · 24/12/2011 16:17

Castrate the stupid little fuckwits, I hope they never ever have salt rubbed into their wounds in this way, disgusting.

yellowraincoat · 24/12/2011 16:17

I doubt they do realise, Vinegar. At the same time, I certainly never went around smashing up graves.

Violence isn't the answer, it's true, but it makes me angry when people are so thoughtless.

EauDeLaPoisson · 24/12/2011 16:18

Funny that vinegar- we were all kids once and im sure we knew that was a no go, smash the fuck out of whatever really but to stoop to a GRAVE?

VinegarTits · 24/12/2011 16:22

castrate them? crickey, yes some kids are stupid but wtf?

FrankiDon182 · 24/12/2011 16:40

Thats really awful! Big hugs to her! Just found out that the flowers my family placed on my sons Great Grandparents grave have been stolen!
Absolutely disgusting, some sick people in this world Angry

LatteLady · 24/12/2011 17:30

Please make sure she has told the Police... I am truly sorry that this has happened, it must have been so upsetting... I can't actually think of a swear word bad enough to describe them :(

PeanutsRoastingOnAnOpenFire · 24/12/2011 17:33

YANBU....bastards!

DaisyDaresYOU · 24/12/2011 19:30

Without outing myself I felt just like you when some little shits vandilised something of my brothers.I won't apologise for it either.Yanbu.It was obvious it was a memoril spiteful evil shits wrote disgusting things all over it

DaisyDaresYOU · 24/12/2011 19:37

Tbf I didn't read it.I'd have boke down.We were warned by someone not to go see it as it was really vile.Theres some right scummy people in this world

sitandnatter · 24/12/2011 19:39

It's one of my fears having Dad's grave vandalised, other graves have been targetted regularly at the graveyard. Sick f*ckers.

Jux · 24/12/2011 19:43

I'll send dh in my stead as I'm pathetically weak; however, my tongue can drip vitriol, if you think it would help.
