I grew up with a huge travelling community. Went to school with lots of them too.
Everyone is/was shit scared of them, including the police.
I was strangled at school by one. Nothing done.
I was bullied by another. Nothing done.
I was sexually assaulted by 3 of them under a subway. Nothing done.
I worked as a waitress. Every Saturday night, big group would come in. Kick off. Get free food. Nothing done. One time a new manager said no. Brick through window next day. Nothing done.
Pretty much everyone we knew either had been conned out of money or knew someone that had. They were untouchable. Above the law.
We lost money. Our neighbours did too. One lady we knew lost thousands.
I have tonnes more stories! But can never talk this way as I’m being stereotypical or racist or something.
You never ever mess with one, or you will be dead. And I’ve seen that too.
This couple has to move. They will get revenge.
