Re: Helpful Demons
by Autumnflare
It's another example of how tabloidism can portray members of society. Granted, there are some bad apples, but then there are some bad apples in the rest of society too. I can remember years ago driving along the beach at Southport. We passed a group of Hells Angels, maybe 40 of them. I shone my beam at them but they weren't doing anything wrong so I extinguished it and drove on. About 1000 yards further on, I hit a patch of soft sand, and the car (A metro, as I recall) got bogged down. Wouldn't move in either direction. I put on the hazard flashers, and within a fews seconds a long line of single headlights came from up the beach. My colleague started to panic - the Hells Angels were coming, and we were stuck. He seemed convinced they were about to murder us in some gruesome manner. Instead, they stopped their bikes nearby, all gathered round the car and lifted it from the soft sand it had got stuck in, onto the firmer sand. Then they waved goodnight in a cheerful fashion and watched us drive off. I bet stories like these won't stop tabloids like The Sun portraying hoodies et al as dangerous fringes of society though.
