Picture it.
You're walking through a park with two of your mates and one of their girlfriends. All of a sudden, a chap in a wheelchair shoves one of your mates and falls out of his chair.
All of a sudden your other mate drops, and these two able bodied chavs start kicking him in the head. They stop briefly so he'll look up, only to start kicking the shit again.
So you intervene, try and stop them from kicking the shit outta one of your mates. At this point they turn on you, knock you to the ground and stamp on your head so hard you'e left with a trainer sole mark.
This was my weekend. We're pressing charges, all four of us, but it wasn't pretty.
Has anyone else had the shit kicked outta em by filthy chavs? I bet you haven't from some cunt in a wheelchair. (BTW he's in the wheel chair cos he started on someone and they paralysed him, so don't have any sympathy.)

For people who don't understand your slang, can you please tell us what a chav is?

Your word against theirs, innit? I bet they get off scot-free.
I know I'm a liberal, but there are limits; people like that, I would just lock up and throw away the key. Three violent public order offences - get a life sentence. That'd be fair.
Nice poetic justice on the twat in the chair though, but I'd wager good money that the guy who did us all a public service in that case served jailtime :tsktsk:
Are you okay dude? Make sure you see a solicitor and get a second medical opinion from a doctor he sends you too. They'll find lots of stuff wrong with you, and that'll help with the compo claim.
Nothing that bad has ever happened to me, even though I do live in Liverpool, Crime Capital of The World :joke: :erg:
[EDIT: chav = scally, townie, street-slime, general prole thug)

I hate chavs and I'm not even British.

I think Washington, D.C. has that badge of honour.

aren't chavs sort of the british equivalent of wiggers?

I've heard of these "chavs" before, on Something Awful recently.
And so these were people you didn't know, and the guy in the wheelchair was just setting you up to be assaulted by the others?
Sounds like you need to work with your friends on how to expand your urban situational awareness and watch out for these people, avoid walking through places that they might infest, and be on your guard when you can't avoid them. Some martial arts couldn't hurt, and get some gloves and box with your friends every now and then to keep in shape and keep yourself fast. Take up running, both so you can outrun these petty thugs if you need to, or so you'll have the cardiovascular fortitude to stand your ground more easily if you have no other choice.
Taking up running, by the way, is not easy. I've been trying, and so I've been abusing expectorants to clear my throat, and it's giving me the SHITS. Drink lots of water!

That's what I figured - they're a dime a dozen here, and each one owns a Honda Civic with a subwoofer and a poorly installed body kit.

"Greasers" is what we used in Alberta 50s-late 70s.
New grrrrl-power developments since then, locally:

I've been jumped for any number of reasons but have escaped significant
physical harm so far for many reasons. Luck ain't good enough. Being a guy gives no protection, no matter how big you are. And being told to learn how to fight or carry a weapon fixes nothingnand makes it all worse.
