LOCAL STIRLING NEWSPAPER

Wallace | 08.07.2005 12:21

Out today, why not go out and get a copy. The local news.

Forget about Burger King, forget about PC World, forget about the car garages.

How about the ordinary people in all this?

Some quotes from within the pages.

“A number of vehicles and properties were again damaged before police were able to gain the upper hand.”

“Police received more than100 calls from local individuals who have been affected by damage, that includes everything from windows smashed to cars having their wing mirrors snapped off to other cars having windscreens and side windows smashed.”

“We have also seen street furniture being uprooted and destroyed.”

“In Bannockburn the damage was much more focused on private individuals homes and cars and an awful lot of spray painting.”

“One 23-year old activist, who gave her name as Etta, said they were intent on creating as much disturbance as possible.”

“A home help said: Many elderly people live close to the main street and a lot of them saw it all from their windows.”

“A resident said: We won’t be intimidated by idiots who want a bit of attention with no thought for the people round here, especially the children and older people.”

“A local said: After seeing the damage they were doing, I wouldn’t blame the police if they went in heavy on them.”
