  people have been doing shitty things for a very long time. people have been talking about how "things are worse nowadays" also for a very long time. not much to do now other than try to science it back into existence, replace it with a similar one, plant a new one and wait or declare it done and move on.

    oh jeez, i almost forgot the most important option: create a new british detectives television series around the event where they drive around in small cars across the english countryside while discussing the case and making prodigious use of their mobile phones. include use of gen z messaging platforms and a lovable geriatric millennial character who plays the role of the senior inspector.

    I mean, stupid shit finds a much larger audience pretty quick now a days. Harassing a police officers horse, bother the royal guard, eat the tidepod, planch in a dangerous place, those stupid YouTube pranks... Those are the mild ones, i saw a video of two teenagers who hit a police retired officer who was riding his bike. The whole thing was filmed. People have been evil from the beginning I give you that, but it seems young people are being drawn to that kind of behavior for likes and views now a days

      Just to be clear: those two teenagers intentionally killed someone on a bike. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itIFlQaIAIQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itIFlQaIAIQ https://apnews.com/article/bicyclist-killed-teens-vegas-murder-charges-1374bf01db9701ef10cb6b3fe306dbf3 https://apnews.com/article/bicyclist-killed-teens-vegas-murd...

  If it was done for social clout then we'd have seen the video circulating already. So it's probably not that.
