    Just read about a former Royal Marine and Newcastle fan whose home has been burned to the ground by yobs just because he'd had the balls to stand up to them.

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-tyne-56468719

    The place had been insured but the policy had lapsed, so his family literally have nothing. There's a justgiving set up to help out - would be great to send a strong message to the bastards who did this that they won't win, and that the whole world is against them, and help the family out at the same time. Give something if you can, and spread the word.

    Sound like he's the local vigilante.

    Keep yourself to yourself would be my advice.

    His profession is irrelevant it's no worse a crime because he's been paid to kill othe people for a living and it is a disgusting crime.

    It's a harsh lesson in life, but if you stay quiet and keep your head down there's always going to be a hero that goes on a personal crusade attracts the attention and gets themselves ****ed over instead of you.

    How many times does the peacekeeper trying to break up a fight get stabbed or beaten up? It happens all the time.

    It's a jungle out there, it always has been and it always will be, so play smart or get your house burned down.

    Oh **** off you ****. If you had half the balls of this bloke you'd be twice the man you wish you were.

    I've only just caught up on the Brighton game, so I'm not in the best of moods.

    Didn't I say it was a terrible crime? What I said happens to be right... Im Sure he's brave and tough, but it didn’t end well for him did it?

    Nice to see your response though. A bit childish don't you think?

    No hard feelings I have no problem with you

    You call the police you don't try being a hero.

    I apologise because I went a bit far... I have no respect for the idiots that burned his house down and ill add to the just giving page.. I just expressed an opinion on his decision to confront them based on something that happened to a friend and I was being a bit of a piss taker also.

    Aye fair enough mate. Sorry I snapped a bit - mainly pissed off at the shower of ****e that is the Toon at the moment, plus the terrible story, so someone being a bit smug about it was always going to put themselves in the firing line.

    No need to apologise mate I went too far and you were right to straighten me out.

    Let's just hope we get rid of bruce and we see an immediate improvement. It's not over we're still in with a shout.. I'd rather be us than Fulham still

    Although what happened is brutally horrible and not right. I’m hopeful he gets things sorted.

    I’m sure there’s more to that story mind.

    No mate what I meant was I’m sure there’s more to come in that story. I.e I’m sure he will get enough money from the just giving thing to get a new home for him and his family.

    It could have been much worse reading the story too. Some folk are just horrible.

    I regret the depth of my original comment, but honestly I just think people should ignore them and let them get on with it... They're dangerous and if they kill someone they get a slap on the wrist and someone loses a loved one.

    If you're under threat then defend yourself at all costs, but if you can just phone the police and stay in your box then you should

    Two nights before that happened, four lads walked into his parents house and robbed them at knifepoint. I think that ripped him over the edge.
    He’s a great lad who wouldn’t wish harm on anyone.

    They walked into their house at 7.30pm and robbed them at knifepoint, purely for money.
